We have just had a fantastic week in Dave and Viv's wonderful gite. We are a couple with three older children aged 20,18 and 15 who really enjoyed having their own rooms as they usually have to share or argue about who is sleeping on the sofa bed on holiday! The gite itself is stylish, comfortable and spotlessly clean and is very well equipped. In the kitchen, there is all the cutlery, crockery and cooking equipment that you would ever need. There are plentiful towels, lovely bed linens and even bathrobes all included in the price, which really cuts down on packing. The attention to detail was lovely, as is the 'welcome pack' of bread, butter, orange juice, wine and French jam.
The garden is simply stunning. It is HUGE and immaculately attended and we spent a couple of days of our holiday relaxing there, in and out of the sun and shade, as there is a variety of sun loungers and chairs and a garden dining set for when we wanted to eat outside.
Dave and Viv are amazing hosts. They have mastered the art of being super helpful and on hand for advice without being at all intrusive. They have quite a collection of activities and games that the kids could enjoy in the garden. They gave us lots of ideas for excursions and Gueltas is ideally situated for exploring being right in the middle of the region. We had some fantastic times exploring the rocky coves in the north of Brittany and the beautiful, wide beaches near Carnac.
Within a few kilometres of the gite, there is a new 'accrobranche' centre where you can spend the day tree climbing and rushing down zip wires. The kids loved it.
Many of the gites I've stayed in are so isolated that you need to drive to the nearest boulangerie etc. The location of Canal Cottage is ideal because the nearest small shop, boulangerie, poste, and pharmacie are only a short bike ride away on one of the bikes available at the gite. A wonderful holiday!
Ce gite est tout simplement extraordinaire! A l'intérieur, il est beau, tres bien equipé et tres confortable. Le prix comprend les draps et les couettes, les serviettes et meme les robes de chambre donc le rapport qualité/prix est super. L'appartement est beau mais le jardin est magnifique. Il est énorme et tres joli. Dave et Viv ont beaucoup de jeux pour les enfants: le badminton, des vélos, des jeux de société ... Les proprietaires sont super gentils et chalereux mais aussi tres discrets. Ce gite mérite bien ses cinq étoiles.
