About this property

Right next to the peaceful River Aulne near Quimper in Brittany, Gîte du Vert Rivage at Stang Korvenn is the perfect place to completely relax and enjoy Brittany's unique rural culture and variety.
There's direct access to the river, which forms part of the Nantes - Brest canal, with cycling, fishing, swimming and walking. The stunning beaches of the Breton coasts to west and south are within easy reach, and so are many excellent golf courses. The north coast and the ferry port of Roscoff are just over an hour away, and the miles of empty surrounding roads that sweep through the countryside are a motorcyclist's dream. The gîte is conveniently placed near the quiet main road to Quimper, enabling easy access to many wonderful destinations.

Excellent holiday cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this very well equipped gite. The hosts, Bryan & Jilly were lovely, very helpful but not intrusive. We really enjoyed spending time in the garden & also made use of the games room & the bikes that are available for guests to use. It's definitely a gite we will return to at some point.

Brilliant getaway, well placed for exploring N Brittany

Great gite adjacent to the Nantes Brest canal. Super facilities, great owners on site. Really good for cyclists - both canal-side and road. Cat made us feel right at home!

Beautiful cottage in idyllic setting

We have just had a wonderful week in this sweet little gite. We had a very warm welcome from our hosts and this is one of the best gites we have visited in nearly 30 years. We are hoping to return again in the spring.

romantic in an idyllic location

A fabulous cottage in a really beautiful location, great walks along the Nantes-Brest canal and lovely to countryside to explore all around. Charming, attentive and welcoming owners who were really helpful and informative. We will certainly return and have fallen in love with the area, so much so that we hope to return to buy our own house in the area! Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful area of Brittany,.

Top locatie

We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Een hele mooie locatie zo vlak bij de rivier en ook de tuin is heerlijk te vertoeven. Bryan en Jilly waren heel zeer gastvrij en behulpzaam. Omgeving centraal voor uitstapjes maar ook winkels niet al te ver weg. We hebben mooie herinneringen gemaakt!

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Cox

Jilly and I come from Bristol in the UK and took advantage of redundancy from our jobs in health and social care to move to this corner of paradise in September 2013. We have 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren who love to come and visit, and we love to see them. We also love meeting people and sharing this place with them. Many people have returned for several visits, and that is such a bonus for us. We appreciate that people wish to be independent and don't want intrusion from us, but we also know guests like to have us available to advise on places to visit, or sort out any problems that may arise.

Why they chose this property

We brought our children to Brittany when they were little and have always loved its countryside, coasts and culture. Not too hot in the summer, it is similar in climate to southwest England, but a couple of degrees warmer. Spring and Autumn can be particularly beautiful, as well as being even more peaceful and quiet out of the high season.

What makes this property unique

This traditional stone and timber built farmhouse and grounds appeals to nature lovers and those who enjoy the outdoors. The nearby road allows you to access a breathtaking range of places to visit within a 45 minute radius, and motoring on the winding empty roads is a joy. Cyclists also love this place, as you can cycle for hundreds of kilometres along the canal without touching a road.
