'A lovely cottage. Beautiful peaceful area. Good market in Redon.
La Gacilly had lovely little artisan shops. We had 6 hours at the beach at Penestin. Only took an hour to get there.
Free parking, very useful, next to the beach....Thank you Dawn and Ian for a lovely place to stay. Will recommend to
others.'
Bruce and Sandra Seymour, Brentwood - July 2010
'A fabulous gite. We have had a wonderful holiday here. Visited
La Bourbansais Zoo and Chateau - spent the whole day there as there was so much to see. Saturday is a good day to visit
Rennes, as there is a huge food market. We have also enjoyed some lovely BBQ's on the patio, followed by a game of
boules. Thank you Dawn and Ian for a fantastic holiday.'
Clare, Terry & Scott Cunningham,
Liverpool - August 2010
'Sitting, writing this, under the pergola looking down
to the River Vilaine watching fisherman doing their Sunday morning thing, cyclists and walkers passing by and the occasional
boat threading its way upstream. The robin is back sorting through the fallen pine needles with his mate and the red
squirrel(!!) has made his second appearance in La Vilaine Vue Aerial Ballet..... supportive but non-intrusive owners
- what more can you ask? Many thanks for the use of your lovely place, the boules, the bikes...........everything. (Breton
Brut inc)'
Roger and Flic Brewster, Birmingham August 2010
'A lovely gite, fabulous position, loads to see and
do in the area. We went down the local bar in Langon, very friendly people. We visited La Gacilly and
saw the Vegetarium and went in all of the little craft shops. We also visited Tropical Parc, San Jacut La Pins. We watched
the spectacle there, which consisted of a chicken riding a bicycle.... So Tropical Parc is thoroughly recommended!'
With Many Thanks, Karen, Andy and Becca, Weymouth August 2010
A great week here in this lovely region of France. We loved
La Roche Bernard, Guerande (city of salt) with its quaint shops.......So much to see and do.....wonderful sights we will never
forget. Hope to make it longer next time.
Kay and Bill Watkins, Wellingborough September 2010
We've enjoyed a lovely relaxed week .....we've visited
Rochefort on Terre. Malestroit, Vannes and Chateaubriant..... Super to return to this lovely cottage at the end of the
day.
Janet and Ged Roberts, Leeds September 2010
'Very well equipped cottage in a great location, secluded
but not isolated. Within an hour you can be in Rennes, Vannes, Penestin.......The park and ride in Rennes makes it particularly
easy to visit. Thanks for having the courage to let strangers use your lovely cottage, it is much appreciated. Good
luck for the future.'
Sandra and Denis, Preston May/June 2011
'... The cottage was so pleasant and well equipped
that we wanted for nothing. Thank you so much and we would certainly recommend the gite to friends looking for accommodation
in this area.'
June and David Tweedell, Barton-on-sea July 2011
'Our introduction to France ... we could not have picked
a better spot - quiet but accessible to the many places to visit. Our first evening we were treated to a deer crossing the
field below and the following morning a woodpecker on the "tastefully positioned" tree.....'
Elizabeth, Roger and Chloe, Vigo Kent July/August 2011
'What a beautiful corner of the world. The slow pace of life
and lovely surroundings were just what we needed to recharge our batteries..... Loved the local wildlife - saw a beautiul
stink out by the Megaliths at St. Just and decided the lizards on the patio are Soo...cute.'

Richard and Amy, Wimborne August 2011
'...Fishing is good in the vilaine saw Buzzards, Kestrels,
Hen Harrier, Sparowhawk, Herons, Swans.....Lizards and a frog on the patio. Plenty of great walks for our dog... Friendly
welcome from Ian and Dawn. Amazing weather made the holiday complete, found plenty to do. Would recommend a visit
to La Baule - beautiful beach especially at sunset. Fourth visit to France - best gite so far.'
