Femmy from W.,
Een fijne gite met een heerlijke tuin. Echt aan alles is gedacht zodat je je snel thuis voelt. En dit ook nog in een rustige omgeving, zodat we optimaal konden genieten. De afgesloten tuin was een feest voor de honden en voor ons! Kortom wij hadden een fantastische week
Willem Jacobs from Woerden,
Een paradijs van stilte. Een verademing waar we aan toe waren. Overdag stukken van de fietsroute Canal Nantes-Brest en dan weer heerlijk eten op de stilte plek. Na 14 dagen verkast naar Brasparts om daar de laatste stukken van de route te doen. Fornuis geweldig en Netflix. Neem je code mee. Dank Sue
Comment from Christine
Thank you for this lovely review!
Suesandra van merode from amsterdam,
Fijn huisje, gezellige cottage met een prachtig uitzicht, zeer compleet ingericht en vooral het fornuis in de keuken is geweldig. Goede uitvalsbasis naar mooie dorpjes in de omgeving en Rennes op nog geen uur rijden is geweldig. De tuin is riant met fruitbomen en rozen en we konden een maretak bewonderen op een van de fruitbomen, heel bijzonder, magische plek.
Restaurants, food & wine
The cuisine in the area includes crepes and galettes and of course the seafood! Mussels and oysters are available throughout the region, particularly in the summer months. Cider is produced here and local varieties are available in all supermarkets and restaurants.
During the summer numerous villages and town celebrate the "Pardon" which is predominantly a religious thanksgiving but is always followed by a celebratory meal (with a drink or two!) and Breton dancing.
