The cottage has one bedroom on the ground floor with a double bed a single bed, a lounge, bathroom and newly refurbished kitchen. Upstairs there are two bedrooms one with double bed and cot, one with double bed and bunk beds plus another bathroom.

The location is perfect - peaceful on the edge of Josselin beside the river, yet within 5 minutes walk of the centre of town, the boulangerie and the shops bars and restaurants. The imposing Chateau is just a stroll along the river and from there is easy access to the timber framed medieval centre with historic Basicila. Tours (in English) are available for both. Ten minutes away at the Lac au Duc you can find water sports and a 9 hole golf course. Horse riding and cycling and boat hire are all available nearby. It is also great for walks.
Comfortable gite, with nice gardens, and coveniently placed.
Very comfortable, lovely host, beautiful 10 minute walk along the riverside to the centre of Josselin, which is a pretty town, with plenty of historical interest and a choice of restaurants
A large property in a good location with easy access to the beautiful town of Josselin and the river for peaceful walks. Great parking. The cottage is well equipped but is a little âtiredâ. The weather was not good when we were there and we found the cottage a bit cold, though heaters were available. Two large trees outside the kitchen did block the light, sunshine and view of the garden which I thought was a pity. However, we enjoyed our stay and Joyce, our host, was lovely and nothing was too much trouble, it was a pleasure to have met her.
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!
La location est tres bien situee a 10 mns du centre de Josselin et a proximite du canal de l'Oust. Joyce est tres accueillante et nous a permis de passer un tres bon sejour.
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 KĂŒche sorgte fĂŒr etwas WĂ€rme.
Im Sommer ist der Garten eine Möglichkeit, sich aufzuwÀrmen.
Insgesamt leider nicht zu empfehlen đ€·ââïž
Stayed for nine days at this property. Itâs 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
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.
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
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.
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.
The cottage was quirky, homely and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed the large garden, with direct access to the towpath into Josselin with its many restaurants and good weekly market. There is a good supermarket within five minutes easy drive for stocking up the large Miele fridge freezer. Joyce is a very nice lady who, whilst being on hand to help with any info required, did not intrude on our privacy at all. Her
three large, but friendly dozy dogs and three cats were, as we are animal lovers, a pleasure to have around. The dogs were confined to the front of the house and could hardly be bothered to get up to greet us, and the cats though friendly, were easily deterred. None of the animals ever came into the cottage.
We would comment on the one very adverse previous review that it was unduly harsh and unfair in our opinion.
Great Gite, the photos definitely don't do this Gite justice. The rooms we're clean and comfortable, and the cottage kitchen is a delight with everything you could need and there was always hot water.The walled garden is a delight, in fact we spent most of our time here, as the weather was fantastic. The host Joyce was very friendly and her knowledge of the area was invaluable.. The walk into Josselin along the canal path was pleasure. Infact with the 3 beautiful cats it was almost home from home. We will be going back, sooner rather than later.
The cottage was perfectly situated for enjoying Josselin and the surrounding area-a few minutes stroll into the beautiful town centre with its shops, restaurants and bars and yet in a stunning peaceful spot. My husband loved being able to get straight onto the riverbank from the garden to do a little fishing in the evenings. The walled garden is lovely and very private-we appreciated the badminton net and racquets!
The cottage itself is really spacious, with big bedrooms and a good sized kitchen and lounge. We found the cottage clean and the beds were comfortable. If you're looking for designer furnishings, wet rooms and a pool, etc., this is probably not the place for you. If you're looking for a clean comfortable cottage in a lovely location, you can't go far wrong.
The owner was very helpful, providing useful information on weather, local attractions etc.
Josselin itself is a lovely town. We hired bikes for a couple of days and there are plenty of planned and graded routes to follow. We really enjoyed seeing the countryside and pretty villages in this way. Carnac beach was a hit with the boys, as was Etel where they jumped about in the impressive waves.
There is loads to do/see in the area and the cottage itself makes an excellent base for seeing this part of France. We'd have no hesitation in recommending this to our friends/family and hope to visit again one day.

Moved from London to France, my children were educated here. Happy in the rural Brittany countryside.
This is an old fashioned cottage with a wonderful location, a short walk along the tow path into the centre of town. It is quiet and calm with a lot of space both inside and outside the cottage. Secure parking space and a walled back garden.
