The Mannion and Peel Holiday 2019

Communication before our holiday was great. On arriving at the property we were greeted by The owners who couldn’t have been more welcoming. They were very informative on things going on around the village and pretty places to visit. The Gite itself is a great size for our 2 families and it well equip, it is in an amazing setting, The garden area is beautiful, you could spent hours sitting there watching the birds. We had a few days out Binic is a lovely harbour town with a nice beach only and 35 minutes away. Lac de Guerlédan a lovely man made beach, only 15 mins away, lovely scenery, they had a boat trip around the lake which unfortunately we missed. St Malo was definitely worth the hour and a half drive, lots of shops, restaurants, beach and historical views. We spent a couple of days around the Gite as we all needed a couple of relaxing days. The pool is lovely, the kids had good use of this. This is one of our top 3 favourite holidays and are hoping to revisit one day. Highly recommended

Family holiday in Brittany

We were a family of 5 adults and 2 children who spent a very enjoyable week at Saint-Martin-des-Pres. The house is set in a very peaceful location, it is quite remote and there aren't any bars or restaurants within walking distance but we were aware of this before visiting so were prepared to drive out to local towns and villages. Within 15-20 minutes there are numerous towns and villages to visit to enjoy some Breton hospitality. We would recommend a visit to Binic about 45 minutes away on the northern coast which has 2 good beaches and a good selection of restaurants and bars. The house is very comfortable and very well appointed with all the necessary crockery, glassware etc that is needed. It was a nice touch that everyone staying was provided with 2 towels and all the beds were made up on arrival. The garden is excellent, very spacious and well maintained with swingball, badminton, boules and a good swimming pool that the children in particular enjoyed. The three ponds in the garden with the many frogs were very entertaining and despite many repeated attempts it was nigh on impossible to sneak up on them before they spotted you and leapt into the water. Andrew and Adele were very friendly and welcoming and whilst their own home is also on site they were not at all intrusive but were on hand as and when required. They also collected the rubbish and recycling every day from the bins outside the house. With 5 adults drinking beer and wine it was good not to see an embarrassingly large mountain of bottles accumulate over the week! If you are looking for a lovely peaceful holiday in an attractive and comfortable setting then I would highly recommend a visit to this property.

Fantastic week!

We had a wonderful week making use of the pool everyday. We had two children under 4 so the space outside for them to run around was brilliant along with the extra games Adele and Andy had provided. Adele and Andy were extremely friendly and were very accommodating by providing little extras during our stay such as happy birthday banners for my mums birthday and charcoal for a bbq. We had an amazing week in the cottage and there was plenty for us to explore in the surrounding areas. A lovely quiet area of Brittany with a well equipped cottage for a holiday in France.

The cottage was beautiful and clean with everything we needed to enjoy our 14 nights.

From the second we arrived we felt so very welcome and relaxed. Adele and Andy were so helpful and made our stay perfect. Our sons have ASD and find a lot of situations difficult but they had such a relaxing holiday and that means the world to us. We always felt that we were in a home from home. The pool area and gardens were beautiful and lovely to sit and relax and just enjoy the peace. We will definitely be returning. A little piece of heaven in France .

About the host

Hosted by Adele Pepperell

Owners Adele and Andrew bought the property 19 years ago, originally as a holiday home. After falling in love with the Breton way of life they took the plunge and moved to Brittany on a permanent basis, 14 years ago. They have renovated the main farmhouse in which they live and have converted a former cow shed into beautiful a holiday cottage. With over 30 years experience as a general builder Andrew has continued to work in Brittany. He is a keen golfer and fisherman. Adele was previously a Community Nurse but now spends her days looking after the gite, gardening and caring for their animals, which include 3 dogs, chickens and ducks.

Why they chose this property

We bought the house in 2005. Although at the time it was in need of renovation we could see the potential it had to become a fantastic family home.

We love the countryside location. It really is a relaxing place to be!!

What makes this property unique

Our location in central Brittany makes it an ideal property, offering both the quietness of the countryside and easy access to the surrounding towns and villages.
