Riverside cottage in Medieval Josselin

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.

Joyce was very welcoming and we throroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location.

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.
