Vollendete Gastlichkeit mit Stille, Stil und GemĂŒtlichkeit
Wir haben eine Woche im Cottage Papillon nahe Callac verbracht.
Die Lage ist mitten im grĂŒnen Herzen der Bretagne auf dem Land alleinstehend mit Rotwild und KĂŒhen als Nachbarn. Sie eignet sich hervorragend als StĂŒtzpunkt fĂŒr die bekanntesten Calveires, fĂŒr Brest und fĂŒr die NordkĂŒste (unser Highlight: eine Bootsfahrt von Ploumanach zu den Sept Ăles mit ihrer Vogelkolonie). Guinhamp ist die nĂ€chste groĂe Stadt.
Das Anwesen besteht aus einem Haupthaus, in dem die Gastgeber Paula und Andy leben sowie zwei Maisonette-Cottages fĂŒr GĂ€ste.
Die kleinen HĂ€uschen sind sehr gut ausgestattet, gemĂŒtlich und geschmackvoll mit unglaublich vielen kleinen Ideen: bis zum letzten Tag entdeckten wir immer neue Schmetterlinge als Deko in unserem âPapillonâ.
Ein groĂer Tisch steht im Freien zur VerfĂŒgung und der Pool und Whirlpool sind einfach wunderbar - was gibt es schöneres als im Regen (den es in der Bretagne immer mal gibt) im 38 Grad geheizten Whirlpool zu sitzen! Unbezahlbar!
Paula und Andy sind Briten, die hier leben, was fĂŒr uns Nicht-Franzosen die Kommunikation sehr erleichtert hat. Sie stehen mit Tipps und Hinweisen zur VerfĂŒgung, sind freundlich und hilfsbereit, jedoch zurĂŒckhaltend und in keiner Weise aufdringlich. Bei der Ankunft erwartete uns ein riesiger Korb mit Start-Lebensmitteln, wie wir ihn noch nie erlebt haben. Und wĂ€hrend der Woche gab es mal leckere frische Milch vom Bauern und noch leckereren Schokokuchen von Paula. An einem Abend luden Paula und Andy zu einer Gartenparty mit BBQ ein, die wir selbst aber leider nicht mitfeiern konnten, weil wir an dem Tag erschöpft waren. Auch das war jedoch unproblematisch.
Das Bett war ein Traum und nachts war es so still wie wir es gar nicht mehr kannten - wir haben perfekt geschlafen und hatten wundervolle Tage in diesem Cottage!
UneingeschrÀnkt zu empfehlen!
Ein groĂer Dank nochmal an unsere perfekten Gastgeber!
We have had a wonderful 10 days in Brittany. Paula and Andy could not have been better hosts.
The gite is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Beautiful peaceful surroundings, with plenty of room for playing games outside. Great to have use of the pool and hot tub. A wonderful place for a restful holiday.
Everything you could want for a family break in Brittany!
We absolutely loved every minute of our stay, so much to see and do within good striking distance. Paula & Andy are excellent and very welcoming hosts, the accommodation is very well appointed and the pool was a BIG HIT with the kids! Highly recommended.
Lovely location and a great space for the family to wind down. The woods and meadow were really nice. Paula and Andy were great hosts and very helpful.
Lovely welcome from Andy and Paula with a welcome basket provided with all essentials including a couple of cold beers, which were welcome after a long drive up from the south.
The gite is well equipped, the bedrooms comfortable. The pool and hot tub are fantastic and great for children. There are numerous walks in the area.
The property is centrally located and about an hour to Brest, Quimper, Dinard and about half an hour from the coast.
Lovely setting, which is peaceful, quiet and relaxing.
We had a great holiday here and I would highly recommend.
Thank you Andy and Paula.
The gite is set in lovely country side, with super friendly owners, the gite has everything you require for your stay, the pool and hot tub have a beautiful views across open fields and woodland, the garden is equipment with light games equipment and for the nature lovers there's a large forest to explore, packed with wildlife
Maroux Vian is a lovely place complete with pool, hot tub, gites and grounds.
A little gem tucked away in Brittany.
We were made to feel very welcome.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Maroux Vian offers a high standard of accommodation in a beautiful, peaceful, rural setting. We all (children aged 15 and 11) really enjoyed the facilities - good quality gites with sitting out area and BBQ, pool, activity meadow with games equipment and woodland. Being able to borrow bikes and cycle around the quiet country roads was a real bonus.
Paula and Andy provided a very warm and friendly welcome with lots of good advice to help us get the most from our stay. The "Welcome Basket" was a generous gift that greeted us on arrival.
Within easy reach from Roscof and well situated for exploring Brittany, Maroux Vian is an exceptional place to take a holiday.
Well what can I say .. Beautifully stunning place we had the most enjoyable chilled holiday .. Pool and hot tub and bubbly on the go what more could you ask for . Paula and Andy are great host with an eye for detail the welcome basket more than exceeded expectation they have a gem of a place the Gites are absolutely spotless and have everything you need very cosy!! If you like wildlife then Maroux Vian has their own private woods it was fascinating watching the deer in the fields and lots of birds and butterflies .. Local supermarket is about 20 mins away which is great . Overall a big thank you to Paula and Andy for Being perfect hosts and a lovely couple â€ïž will definitely be back xx
To say that Paula and Andy graham are the hosts with most is an understatement . We were welcomed to the property with a personal message on a board outside the property , we were presented with a generous welcome hamper including food and wine to help you settle in all the essentials to keep you going until your first shop . The gite was spotlessly presented with personal touches ,the pool and hot tub are well maintained and nothing is too much trouble for Paula and Andy two very generous hosts .All in all a five star stay which was not long enough thankyou
Warm and friendly welcome. Clean, well-equipped cottage. Lovely swimming pool and hot tub.
A warm welcome from Paula and Andy who were so helpful and friendly throughout our stay.
A clean and well equipped cottage and a great swimming pool and hot tub.
Thank you for a great week.
What a fabulous couple. Andy and Paula made us so welcome. The gite was so beautifully presented with themed decorations that give the gite such a homely feeling. The welcome basket is such a thoughtful gift to get started before visiting an array of local supermarkets. Both Andy and Paula have such an eye for detail and have thought about what families need whilst on holiday. We enjoyed several of Paula's home cooked dinners that are offered at such a reasonable cost. Andy went to every effort to ensure that the pool, hot tub and play areas are kept to the highest standard of cleanliness and safety. We can't wait to book again for another holiday. I cannot recommend this holiday gite and area enough.
Our visit was 3 days after Andy and Paula Graham took over. April 1st to 8th 2016. The Gite was just great, warm and comfortable. Beautiful welcome basket full of local produce, plus tea and coffee. Andy and Paula couldn't have been friendlier and Paula's evening meal option was superb and great value for money. We had that twice on our 6 day stay. Great location for access to the north coast which is steeped in medieval history. It gets a great recommendation from us and we shall be back for more hospitality and exploration.
A wonderful, tranquil setting, within easy reach of all amenities and attractions. Accommodation was stunning and very high quality, with optional evening meals that were first class at reasonable prices. Hosts couldn't have done more to make our stay the most welcoming and comfortable experience. Truly a French feel, but with all the comforts and attention to detail expected in the UK. We will be returning for another break as soon as work allows!

Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Mrs Paula Graham / Mr Andrew Graham
We absolutely adore France especially Britanny region in particular.Our plan was to find a get away from it all location that had fantastic country views and had a real home from home appeal but not too rural that we felt too isolated.We love 'the French way' of life, the fine food, wine and totally stress free.We now spend time doing the things we really enjoy doing like entertaining people and having a good time, walking, cycling, swimming, and travelling. In particular, Paula enjoys being creative; painting and making things like cakes for all occassions and loves catering, entertaining and cooking proper home-made dishes with fresh local ingredients. Andy enjoys outdoor interests; gardening, air rifle target shooting, archery, fishing, and photography.
Having been across the channel to France many times both for work and pleasure, we found this area of France particularly charming. We love the beautiful rolling countryside and the quaint little villages with beautiful stone built churches and traditional french architecture. We have had holidays both in the North and South of France, though we are more familiar with the North and wanted to have a place in the countryside but still be close to the sea. We feel we have the best of both worlds here, the beaches are glorious and close by.
Set against a backdrop of beautiful woodland and rolling meadows surrounding the property, South facing garden and terrace, you can enjoy the beautiful views whilst relaxing with friends and family in the heated swimming pool and hot-tub spa. We have 10 acres of private woodland which children will love to explore. Wildlife is in abundance here with deer grazing daily close by and many other visitors including foxes, rabbits and badgers. The property is located in the heart of the countryside but just 1 mile from the market town and 40 minutes from the glorious Pink Granite coast. With the pretty seaside town of Locquirec and miles of sandy beaches.Fantastic!!
