Relax in Josselin

Quiet and relaxing with easy walking along the Brest Canal, lots of benches to sit on and watch the world go by, before walking up to the chateau and restaurants. Great!

Lovely house in lovely area.

Stayed for nine days at this property. It’s a lovely house attached to the owners house, the location is perfect, just a short walk, along the most picturesque canal, takes you into the town. The large garden at the house is lovely and peaceful. The owner is a lovely lady, she is very welcoming and always happy to help with any enquiries you might have, she is very knowledgeable of the area, and she is very happy to share her knowledge. We definitely plan to go back next year. Jackie

Ideal location

Lovely walk to medieval town, the cottage is very quirky and old but homely. Joyce is a lovely and welcoming lady Due to my husbands disability he was unable to use either of the bathrooms so If the downstairs bath was changed to a shower we would love to come again

Amazing medieval town

We had a lovely week. The owner was delightful. The garden was large and beautiful and backed on to the river. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Gordon c., East Yorkshire

perfect location

a very serene large garden, so quiet and restful, outside gate to Canal, very pleasant walk to Josselin, not far. This gite is attached to a grand house, Joyce is really lovely lady and helpful, if needed, otherwise leaves you in peace. The gite is roomy, homely and has everything you need. Very hot weather , so was outside till late. Four of us had a wonderful restful week, the location and area is beautiful.

Ce serait parfait , si ...

Nous avons passé un bon séjour dans la maison de Joyce, qui est une hôtesse agréable, discrète mais attentive. Il est très agréable de rejoindre la ville en longeant le canal et le jardin est plaisant. La cuisine est bien aménagée, la maison a été repeinte et retapissée. Mais cela ne suffit pas à gommer l'odeur de moisi dû à l'humidité, la maison n'a aucune étanchéité et les huisseries ont beaucoup vieilli. Heureusement, il a fait beau et chaud, et nous avons beaucoup été dehors. La literie est de qualité inégale et il manque des stores occultants aux fenêtres de toit. Enfin, vilaine surprise à notre retour en découvrant le relevé de notre compte bancaire; le paiement a été transformé en monnaie anglaise, nous avons donc dû payer les frais de change. Nous aurions aimé en être avertis à l'avance .

Außen etwas hui, innen...

Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett, allerdings ist die Unterkunft ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen, nicht wirklich sauber und sehr kalt!! Einzig der Elektroofen in der Küche sorgte für etwas Wärme. Im Sommer ist der Garten eine Möglichkeit, sich aufzuwärmen. Insgesamt leider nicht zu empfehlen 🤷‍♀️

Beautiful house and location

We loved the house and the location, by the river and within a beautiful walking distance from lovely Josselin. The garden was wonderful. The house is like your grandmother's house, full of character, but it does need a little bit of refreshing and a good scrub. Great communication with Joyce.

Agréable cottage

Une demeure tout à fait agréable où chacun peut avoir de l'espace. Le lieu est confortable même si la literie est un peu rustique. Grande cuisine très pratique pour cuisiner et un barbecue pour les grillades. Le jardin est grand et beau et permet de se poser à l'ombre ou au soleil. Et la proximité de Josselin permet de s'y balader facilement, en empruntant, si l'on veut, les cayaks du lieu. Les hôtes sont très sympathiques et permettent qu'on se sentent très à l'aise chez eux. Un cottage à recommander sans hésiter !

Gezellige woning in Josseline met hartelijke gastvrouw

Mooi huisje met gezellige tuin. Een vakantie op zijn Frans is de omschrijving die het van ons meekrijgt. Het huis is goed uitgerust, alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Hartelijk onthaal en de nodige info. We hebben een heel goed en rustig verblijf gehad. Joyce helpt je indien je vragen hebt en staat steeds voor je klaar. Wel voor mensen die van dieren houden. Er zijn 2 honden en enkele katten aanwezig, deze dringen zich echter niet op. Ze gaven onze vakantie een extra warm entourage. Er is veel te zien en te doen in de omgeving, een auto is wel nodig. We waren er 14 dagen en hebben ons geen moment verveeld.
