Details about our Gites in Brittany -
Self Catering Cottage Accommodation in Brittany

Our Gites in Brittany offer a peaceful and private setting in a rural area of Brittany ideal for both exploring and relaxing.  It is an ideal family holiday location because our Gites in Brittany are just 1.5 kms from a small bustling town called Gouarec, about 10 minutes from Lac de Guerledan with its delightful sandy beaches perfect for all ages, 35 minutes from the north Brittany coast at St Brieuc and an hour or so from the southern Brittany coast.

Our gites are both newly decorated and furnished, and offer every modern convenience but in a 16th century setting with lots of stone, wonderful beams and original granite stone fireplaces now fitted with log burners to keep you warm and cosy if you choose to visit us out of season.  They also have electric radiators to heat the bedrooms and also the shower rooms.  Each gite is fully tiled throughout the ground floor and has pine floors upstairs which are both child friendly.  We also welcome long term lets which are ideal for those looking to buy a property in the area: please call us to discuss your requirements. Our gites are Les Rossignols, which is named for our local nightingales, sleeps 5, and Les Chouettes, which is named for our barn owls, sleeps 8.

 Exposed beams, thick walls and an air of calmness about the place make this a lovely base from which to explore, or you can relax and laze away the hours in the sunshine by the pool with a good book.

Other Information

For those who want a complete rest from cooking, we also offer packed lunches and evening meals (including barbecues!) by arrangement for our guests. Vegetarians and other diets can also be catered for on request. For more details, click here.

There is ample parking within the grounds for people staying in our Gites in Brittany.

Baby Equipment:  No need to bring yours and take up valuable space in your
car because we can provide cot, high chair and baby bath for you; but as
formula milk is expensive here and you may not be able to get your usual
brand, it's a good idea to bring your own supply to the Gites.

 Our HEATED SWIMMING POOL is approximately 36ft x 15ft x 4ft and is available from 24 May to 6 September 2008. It has been carefully located near to our Gites and landscaped to be in the sun all day but where there are nearby mature trees to provide that all important shade when necessary. Lots of sun loungers, chairs, tables and parasols are provided plus assorted inflatables for children of all ages to play with!.
