A lovely quiet week in a really comfortable gite spent enjoying the beautiful Brittany countryside and wonderful coastline together with the interesting towns & villages. Shame we had to go back to the daily grind and that the weather wasn't a little kinder to us.

A little paradise in the middle of Bretagne
We had the loveliest time in Kersidan. Our time there came in the middle of our European holiday, so it was a perfect place to recharge our batteries. We loved the cottage. It had everything we could possibly need and was just so restful and quiet. And despite getting lost every time we went out (!!!) we found many wonderful walks in the surrounding area. We didn't cover a large area but hopefully we can come back some day to see more. Many thanks Mark and Alison for making this part of our trip so pleasant. Pam and Peter Hubscher

Peaceful and charming house in the countryside
We had a great time in Kersidan in October. The house is very cosy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the garden. And at night we looked at very bright stars in a pitch dark heaven, since there is no light pollution. We visited nice, not too big, cities in the neighborhood as Plouay, Le Faouet, Quiberon and Port Louis at the seaside. We liked the French formula of having an excellent lunch in one of the above mentioned cities and a simple dinner at home. Our favourite restaurant was Le Relais du Marquis in Plouay. Shopping in the nearby Intermarche in Guemene is fun, they have almost everything... We highly recommend Kersidan. Thanks Marc and Alison!

Perfect location
From the outset, the booking process which Mark & Alison have in place was faultless and comprehensive. Upon arrival we found the gite to be exactly as described. From our perspective it was full of character, was of a high standard and is in a perfect location. Worthy of note is the very comfy kingsize bed. We holiday in France each summer and having stayed in many gites we would place Kerisdan in our 'top two'. The area of southern Brittany is ideal for us and we know it reasonably well, but Mark and Alison have the gite well stocked with local info for you to plan your holiday. The local boulangerie, which we used most mornings, is in Ploerdut, which is about 4 miles away and Guemene is about a 10 minute drive with local shops, fabulous restaurants and a supermarket. Beaches are within easy reach, as are many beautiful towns and villages to explore. We tended to go walking most days (lots of info about routes are in the gite) but the area is also very good for cycling be it on road our mountain bikes.

Nous pensions que le gite était plus près de Vannes, c'est notre faute ! un peu loin de tout ! Mis a part cela, il ne manquait rien, très joli, coquet, jardin magnifique et voisin charmant. Nous le conseillons si vous désirez être seul et tranquille par contre si vous souhaitez visiter, un peu loin de tout

Un jardin et une petite maison coquets et confortables avec tout le nécessaire pour un séjour paisible. Les alentours nous ont eux même ressourcés avec des visites de paysages frais et verdoyants, les chemins en creux pour la fraicheur des randonnées, de l'eau partout et des rencontres culturelles riches.

Es ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Himmelsrichtungen, welche wir täglich unternommen haben. Alles ist prima und zweckmäßig eingerichtet und geschlafen haben wir auch sehr gut.

As always in this type of property one has to be open to new experiences, the quentness the semi isolation and wild life however that is what it is all about. What you can do though is explore this part of Brittany which beautiful and historic.

Lovely, comfortable gite in beautiful quiet yet super central location
The gite was very well equipped and cosy. The lovely owners supply you with a super complete information pack which makes you feel you are already on a relaxed and well organised holiday as soon as you read it. The owners gave us a very warm welcome and are very kind and hospitable yet respected our privacy at the same time. The surroundings are lush and green with many nice villages and sites nearby and also located very central to explore Morbihan and Finistere in (half) day trips. Nearest beaches are only approx 45 min. drive.

Warm welcomes-gift & essentials for coockery (coffee, tea, herbs...). Generously guided around by a friend of the owners. In the heart of nature and close too many nice villages, out of too touristic places. Recommandable for everyone.
