There is a fenced garden in front of the cottage with a garden table and chairs. The garden gets the sun first thing in the morning and is a lovely area to eat your breakfast.

There are also swings, a slide and a boules court. This part of the garden gets the sun all day until it goes down. With views of the surrounding countryside it's an ideal place to eat alfresco, have fun in the pool and relax in the sun.

The lake is approximately a 15 minutes drive away and along with its manmade beaches it offers a wide range of activities including water sports, boat hire, fishing, horse riding and a climbing centre.

If you enjoy a round of golf, then look no further! Brittany has many superb golf courses. The owner of the cottage is a keen golfer and will be able to offer you advice on courses that would suit you best. For more general information on golf courses in Brittany, visit the Golf Bretagne website.

A wonderful stay, in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful family holiday here, the cottage is lovely, in a brilliant peaceful setting with some gorgeous scenery and gardens. You do need a car to get about, but we knew this before we arrived, and there are many villages worth visiting, so we were happy with this. The kids loved the pool and went to see the chickens/ducks every morning as well. Adele and Pep were so helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. A pleasure to chat to and very welcoming. We’d recommend to anyone, and hope to return one day. Thank you for a wonderful time! x

French retreat
We stayed at this gorgeous French house which really was the most beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Adele and Andy were so welcoming and helpful and they really couldn’t have been any lovelier. We absolutely loved the property and grounds and having the amazing outside area for eating outside and the swimming pool to cool off really was such a great thing for us and our children. We also loved the ducks and chickens that were very well behaved. I would definitely love to come back and can’t rate our whole experience highly enough.

Peaceful, clean, comfortable and completely relaxing.
This property was presented in a clean, well equipped and comfortable condition. Adele and Andy, the owners, live next door and were extremely friendly, helpful and made us feel like old friends. If you’re looking for a lively nightlife and exciting surroundings this would not suit you. This is probably the most peaceful, rural and relaxing location. No loud music, traffic noise or any other disturbance. Quite perfect.

Beautiful cottage, great for family break
What a beautiful place this is. The cottage itself is very clean and nicely decorated. The rooms are spacious and beds super comfy. The garden with decking and pool area is stunning for entertaining the kids and adults - especially with Ronnie the duck chasing pigeons! Adele and Andy were wonderful hosts who are always on hand for any queries you have and know the local area well. The cottage is very peaceful and a short drive from the local amenities and attractions. Would highly recommend this stunning place.

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 .

Idyllic!
The cottage is located in a very peaceful, rural setting. My husband and I loved this! The cottage itself is lovely and very well equipped. This is my first holiday let where things like bin bags, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, salt, pepper, tea bags, coffee, etc were supplied.. this was brilliant; it made it so easy to settle in. Adele was just as the other reviewers have commented - very friendly and really helpful. She manages to balance this well so that we still felt that we had our privacy. The main external seating area is just across the lane next to the swimming pool. This was a lovely place to spend time, particularly at the beginning of the week when temperatures were very high. The teenagers enjoyed the pool and also the recently purchased swingball and badminton sets. Location wise, we (The oldies) loved it. After the first few days the teenagers perhaps would have preferred to be closer to some other civilisation as they were reliant on the drivers (us) to let them access shops, etc. However, excellent wifi access certainly meant the teenage brains could be occupied when it was not hot enough to use the pool. Quintin has a number of supermarkets to supply food and drink needs. It is also a pretty town to explore if you venture beyond Eclerc. We quite like going on jaunts, not all of which were on the doorstep... The beach at Baule Escoblac.. Lovely beach, shopping area - a bit pricey in places. Dinan - despite the rain we enjoyed visiting the Thursday market and wandered round this lovely old town. We discovered a gem of a place La Poterie... the owner was very helpful and friendly. We initially popped in for drinks and toilet use and ended up eating there. The food may not be to everyone's taste.. an Argentinian/French mix but my husband loved it... possibly linked to the jazz music playing in the background! We jaunted to visit the Robert Tatin museum..just over 2 hours from where we were staying. It was well worth it though... it is a most unusual place..the artist lived from the age of 61 and built the museum around him... it is fantastical... huge giant sculptures, amazing artwork. The staff could not have been more helpful. Excellent price.. 6 Euro entry plus 1 Euro 50 to visit the artist's house.. Amazing! A real must visit place. Anyhow, regardless of the longer jaunts, rural Brittany remains one of our favourite places to visit and Adele and Andrew's cottage provided a friendly comfortable stay for us all.

Family of 6 UK half term break.
Very pleasant 4 bed barn conversion. Well presented and equipped for comfortable stay. 3 beds up stairs and 1 double off the lounge/diner. Owners across the way in courtyard and very amenable and willing to help at all levels. Adele always asking if everything was OK. Very peaceful and very rural. You will need a car as accommodation is on its own with nothing around excepting the lovely countryside (you can see that on googlemaps). Saint Martin des Pres is nearest village with small bar and Patisserie/Boulangerie which was open every morning, about 5 min drive. Small well maintained pool, in pleasant recreational area, which was still 24 deg mid October. Nice country surrounds. Nearest supermarket/town is Mur de Bretagne about 10-15 minutes drive and Pontivey about 25 mins has all you need with Hypermarkets etc etc. Well located for exploring Brittany and reasonably priced. Would return.

Peace and quiet in lovely surroundings.
We stayed for two weeks with Adele and Andy, and enjoyed every aspect of their beautiful gite. Our party consisted of us grandparents , parents and three small children. The quality of the fixtures and fittings was superb , and all the bedrooms were well turned out. Plenty of space for everyone in the evening. Everyone enjoyed a daily dip in the pool - a great acquisition!! The surroundings were so peaceful when we ate outside in the evenings. The gite has everything to recommend it to all ages. .
