Beautiful 15th Century Cottage in Callac, Central Brittany - Le Gîte Au Manoir Reviews

Le Gite au Manoir is all you could wish for as a holiday base. It is of high quality, spacious, bright, spotlessly clean, extremely well -equipped and very comfortable throughout, a joy to return to each evening or indeed to while away some hours of relaxation during the day. (Our visit coincided with the Olympics and the satellite TV was a real bonus and in our experience something of a rarity). Bryn and Val are very generous hosts and really helpful in terms of advice and information whenever requested. We have visited previously the various coasts of Brittany and they are all easily accessible from the Gite but it is also ideally located as a hub from which to explore inland and that was the main purpose of our visit to Brittany this time. There are nearby many places and sights to see and some lovely walks.Two particular recommendations we have are to go and wander through the 80 or so massive sculptures on the gentle hillside at La Vallée des Saints which are stunning and quite unique, a must see, unforgettable. Allow at least an hour to wander through them, we were there for two hours and could have stayed longer. The second is the moving Resistance Museum at Saint-Connan , (English texts), situated by a beautiful lake, followed or preceded by a tasty plat du jour on the lakeside terrace of the restaurant next door. These are but two examples of the range of options in the surrounding countryside. We would unreservedly recommend a stay at Le Gite au Manoir, it ticks all the boxes and more; well located and so relaxing, so refreshing,so complete.
