BIRDS LISTED AS SEEN BY MR W.A.STUART AT KERHOTTEN 8TH-15TH AUGUST

An excellent holiday all together, good accommodation, good countryside, very interesting places to visit, very good beach at Carnac stones of course! My hobby, bird watching has been well satisfied and a good species list will be produced.

Thank you Bill

Lovely peaceful week, great accommodation in a perfect setting. Garry looked after us very well and works so hard to keep the grounds looking beautiful. Many places within an hours drive to visit when the weather not too great,but no need to go any where when the sun is shinning.
Great Holiday. Maince,Wendy,Susie, John,Patrick,Dave and Jo

Chestnut cottage was very nice to stay in, which was for some days due to the unfortunate weather. Gary and Jackie, thanks very much for everything, very helpful and welcoming and your grounds are very nice. We managed to get some great food, a couple of good days out and caught a few nice trout for dinner down at the lake. Despite the weather to had a great time.

Kerhotten is the most beautiful place, we have enjoyed every minute of our holiday here, so relaxing and peaceful. Our three children loved the pool, the weather was good and sunny. Garry and Jackie proved to be the perfect hosts there when ever you need them with out being felt watched over, a mine of useful information also.
This has to be one of Frances best kept secrets, fantastic area, great people and good food, quiet roads.
Thanks v much Garry and Jackie

Despite six of our seven days being cool, wet and gray we have enjoyed our stay at the Willow cottage. If you like a Hyper rather than a super market then Lederic at pontivy is excellent – with v cheap fuel too. We visited Auray, Vannes, Kerguehennet, Pontivy, La Faouet, Guemene, Bon Repos, Lac de Guerledan and even in the rain they very charming. Our only regret was we didn't’t get to use the pool – maybe next time.

We have enjoyed our holiday in Kerhotten cottages, beautiful setting and stunning scenery, the view from the bench at the Willow will stay in our minds – it is so calming.
Many thanks from Jeanette and peter Kelly, and for the plants

We have had a wonderful week in such a tranquil spot. Visited lots of places, highly recommended Concarneau, a beautiful town. The Granite coast was also a lovely day out. We were quite lucky with the weather and had some good times in and around the pool.

Willow cottage
We had a really good time at Kerhotten. It was peacefully, beautiful and well placed for the things we wanted to visit and do. Jackie and Garry were perfect hosts and helped us with directions and advice, which was invaluable.

This was our first visit to France and we could not have chosen a more perfect location. Kerhotten is practically in the center of Brittany and is therefore ideal for exploring. Chestnut Cottage was perfect for our large family of 8 very clean, comfortable and well stocked for our needs. The location was quiet and peaceful and the swimming pool was a real treat! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Many thanks once again and I'm sure we will return one day.

Excellent week – had a superb time! Garry & Jackie have been splendid hosts and have been on hand whenever we have had a question or needed advice. Enjoyed the house and surroundings and pool. Visited Pont Scorff Zoo (excellent) and beaches at Lorient.

Kerhotten is a find. We’ve had a very relaxing week and enjoyed being here at the Farmhouse so much and visiting the surroundings. It’s been great having so beautiful lake on our doorstop and playground for the children we’ve also enjoyed the evening meals at La Florentine pizzeria in the village. Garry and Jackie have been excellent hosts, providing useful local info and a relaxing environment for us. The gardens are beautifully well tended too.
It would be lovely to come again and we’ll certainly recommend Kerhotten to others!
Many thanks

Kerhotten is a beautiful place and Garry and Jackie could not have been nicer or more helpful and welcoming. The Granary is very comfortable and the kitchen is better stocked that at home! Boules was great fun. Many historical places visited, museum at St Marcel – excellent. Also Suscinio chateau and Josselin chateau well worth a visit. Good golfing also.
Thank you to Garry and Jackie for providing a very warm relaxing visit.

14th August 2010

We enjoyed a half – term break with children and grand children. Weather started off poor with fine rain and cold, but brightened up towards the end of the week to blazing sunshine. We enjoyed the pool, walks round the lake and longer trips to Vannes and Lamor Pelage. The children enjoined the beach on Lac du Guerledan for a shorter trip. Jackie and Garry, helpful as always. Local shop in Langoelan is open on Sunday, but supermarkets etc shut, so food planning is necessary, especially on arrival.
Overall a beautiful and peaceful spot.
Yates Family
29th May 2010

To Jackie & Garry – you have been great! Lots to talk about particularly all your local knowledge. The gite is one of the best we have had with all our experiences in France. The reviews are second to none; very beautiful and peaceful, what more could one wish for. We hope to be back next year and we will certainly book again with you. Thank you so much for being so kind and wonderful hosts.

We all had a fantastic 2 weeks in Langoelan. The house is lovely, swimming pool and playing field great fun and the setting of the houses by the lake is so picturesque. Local shops, restaurants and boulangeries in Pontivy, St Nicholas and Guemene were really rice to spend time in too. The amount of things to do with your time is endless, and we’ve all greatly enjoyed our time here.
Thank you Garry, Jackie and Jennie !

12 th October 2010

Lovely week, Garry & Jackie so very helpful. Weather not so good but didn't’t detract from very relaxing week. Zoo at Point Scorff well worth a visit as was Les Aquatides at Loudeac. For a very special meal visit Restaurant Le Seqvoia, Auborge de Pont Caueck. (Ask Garry for vague directions!!) a very French experience. Definitely not fast food. Kids loved the pool and walks around the lake with slide etc. Would come back tomorrow but work doesn't permit! Brilliant week, had a lovely time even though weather was a bit dodgy, great place for kids, so well equipped for them and a lovely place to relax, will definitely come back!

Arrived in sunshine. All week in sunshine!! Really nice stay. It was a peaceful & stress free week for all. Nice places to visit. Ladies & Gents Boules Tournament – Ladies Won!! Thrashed bad losers
Thanks to Garry & Jackie

It is a beautiful and tranquil location, perfect for a relaxing break. We were lucky with the sunshine in our first week and made good use of the splash pool, even Rufus had a dip of his toes in, but at only 4 ½ weeks hey wasn't’t too impressed! We found the beach at Lac de Guerledan (Anse de Sordan) perfect for Lex (4 years old) as it was safe for swimming & the merlin restaurant served lovely food, albeit very expensive with the exchange rate unfavorable to the pound. Top tips: get to the boulangerie by 8.30am if you want to be sure to get croissants!! : The crêperie in Rostrenen (de breizh) was perfect for a set price lunch of crepes and a cider.

We had a very enjoyable holiday with activities to suit all ages. The children enjoyed the beach at Lamor plage and the Lac de Guerledan where they built sand castles whilst the older ones went on kyat’s. We had an excellent visit to the mohair farm where the owner Ann Maria spoke endlessly about the goats muck to every ones enjoyment. Jackie and Garry were very knowledgeable and helpful which helped to make the stay very relaxing. Alex particularly enjoyed his gardening sessions with Garry on the last day! Thank you.

What a fantastic location for a holiday, the views are wonderful we have found it really easy to relax, although weather hasn't’t been on our side it hasn't mattered, thanks for giving our little boy a brilliant first holiday. Once again thank you to Garry and Jackie. And yes! We will be back.

We have had a lovely week. Garry and Jackie have been fantastic hosts. If you want to know, where, how, when…. Ask them! We went to the village feast and ? ate crepes & drank local ‘cider brew, great atmosphere, very old fashioned and accountability and probably like British fates were years ago.
We have also seen Pontivy (for the best supermarket bare right at the bridge and follow the river – intermarche, bike shop, Mcd’s, furniture, children’s cloths etc…) Quimper is lovely if a little expensive ?
Lac de Guerledan is great – head for ‘beau de rvage’ – very picturesque for lots to do. All in all it’s been a fantastic holiday we will be back!
Goodwin family, Dorset 2009

Quite agree with earlier comment – Sat Nav a must.
The cottage is lovely and setting really tranquil and beautiful with plenty of space for children to have fun. Unfortunately we were really unlucky with the whether and had rain every day. Enjoyed trips to Lac de Guerledan (hired peadaloes!) the castle in Pontivy and also to the beach – both Lamor plage (beach) and Pont Louis (beach great rock pooling and lovely restaurant right on the front)
Thanks to Jackie & Garry for their help.

What a lovely and relaxing 2 weeks. Lovely weather to enjoy the pool and walks around the lake. The kids had a great time swimming, playing football and boules. Mark enjoyed riding the bike all around the countryside – and the rest of us we loved reading!!
Thank you to Jackie and Garry for providing such a lovely place to stay and their warm and friendly care.

We’ve had a lovely relaxing week here at Kerhotten. Several overcast days when we made the most of cycling on the Voie Vet to Mur de Bretangne, & a day trip to Josselin. We really enjoyed cycling to the lake & village in the morning & treated ourselves to a lovely meal at the pizzeria. The kids loved playing boules and trying fishing. We also were treated to the local Andoville’(sausage) festival at Guemene which was erm “interesting”

What can we say what hasn't’t already been said. A gem yes! We will defiantly be back. The house, area and welcome were all wonderful. Enjoy your stay here, we all did and appreciate all of the hard work and dedication put in by Garry & Jackie and Jenny(of course) Concarneau on market day is an excellent day trip (1 hr each way) but well worth it Combined with Port Aven, and remember here everything stops for lunch.
Thank you so much to Garry & Jackie, counting the weeks to our return.
Lesley, Andy, Becky& Tyler + Nanna Sheila Limbert. 2009

We’ve had a relaxing holiday with mixed weather, but managed a dip in the pool most day’s! Highlights include Monday market at Pontivy stocking up on fruit, cheese, bread etc. Kids loved Parc de Prechistocic and O C’canapolis in Brest with penguins, seals feeding & sea lions. (you need a full day and & lunch is good; self service French style try it). Sunday lunch at the Merlin restaurant on Lac de Guerledan was a treat for mum & dad and kids had a paddle at the artificial beach after!you could also picnic there too.

What a lovely place. Peaceful & tranquil. The kids were all water babies in the pool & couldn't’t wait to get home so they could play in the pool! House is just right for our holiday. Garry & Jackie are the perfect owners/hosts – always on hand with a wealth of local information
Garry & Jackie you guys are living the dream and have fired our imaginations to sell up and do the same. What a perfect lifestyle. Thanks for everything The Salters & the Smiths

Emma and I have enjoyed one of the most memorable holiday for some time. The acid test is however, is always what the children say, my eldest son (9) says that Garry and Jackie are “the nicest people he has met” and that sums things up. Excellent hosts in a superb environment. To be able to enjoy the character of these buildings in such an outstanding setting is a rare treat. Couple that with all that the surroundings area has to after makes any trip here a unique experience. We have had close encounters with deer, frogs, fish and birds of prey to name a small selection of the areas rich wildlife. We will not hesitate to recommend Kerhotten to anyone looking to sample the very best of Brittany.
