We were guests at The Walnut Tree from 1 to 15 June. This house feels like coming home. And that is because of the incredible hospitality of Tina and Graeme. A lovely welcome package will be ready
upon arrival. There was even a package ready for our dog Saar!
The house has been furnished with a lot of love and care. Beautiful and good furniture, the same applies to crockery, cutlery, pans, bed linen, towels and beach towels. Everything has been thought of.
Around the house there is a beautifully quiet garden with many flower borders. A feast for birds, insects and the guests. And in the garden there is a nice, warm swimming pool.
The Morbihan is a beautiful region to explore. In the Walnut Tree you will find plenty of information for trips nearby and further afield.
In our opinion, highly recommended. Tina and Graeme, many thanks for your good care and a paw from Saar.

We have just returned from another fabulous stay at Walnut Tree Gite, the first being two years ago. It was every bit as good as our previous stay, and so enjoyable to be back in the peaceful, secluded and stunning garden. The private heated pool is such a bonus, and lovely to spend the day around. The gite is so welcoming - it is full of character, and stylishly furnished. It is very well equipped with quality kitchen utensils and beautiful bed linen. Tina and Graeme have thought of everything - the provide a sumptuous welcome pack of bottles of wine, homemade cake, chutney, preserves, freshly laid eggs from their chickens, plus all the other essentials. It is super dog friendly, with a safe and secluded garden - our dog loves being there as much as we do, and was so happy to be back and see Tina & Graeme again! Dogs get their own welcome back too. Tina & Graeme are the best of hosts, they will leave you to be, or are more than happy to have a chat and help with anything. We can't think of anything else that would have improved our stay - it is just perfect!
Thank you both for a fabulous break away from it all. Walnut Tree is a real home from home and we have loved every minute.
We had a chat about the things we loved about WTG and we came up with the following:
Monty- The pool
JJ- It's uniqueness
Jenny-The birdsong
Colin- The gorgeous garden
Thank you for your super kind hospitality, it was the icing on the cake! See you next year!

Thank you so much for a wonderful, relaxing week at Walnut Tree Gite. We have thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful garden and the lovely pool. All the hard work you have put into Walnut Tree Gite and the gardens, you have created a fantastic place to stay.
We have enjoyed exploring Brittany, we loved Vannes, Auray and Larmor Plage. Thank you for recommending La Tourelle in Melrand we had a great lunch there.
Finally, thank you for the delicious courgette & lemon cake, jam, chutney and wine-much appreciated!

A stay at Walnut Tree Gite has been a holiday without compromise
Basically, Tina and Graham have got it 100% right.
Beautiful location, great little towns near by, and
fabulous walks along the Blavett
The cottage, is loved, well presented and well equipped.
No compromise with the beds, they were the most comfortable, with good quality bedding and towels
We slept so well.
No compromise in the kitchen, again nicely presented, and fully equipped, with knives sharp enough to cut with, a first in 20 years of gite holidays, also plenty of tea towels, another first.
No compromise, or studying wordy instructions manuals, the dishwasher and washing machine had easily understood laminated instructions.
With two bathrooms and three toilets, no queues, or crossed legs.
No compromise in the garden, this a loved and well cared for garden, with different sunny spots, and seating areas, and of course the pool is a great addition, and something we used daily.
No compromise on the Gite's information booklet, it was well written, very informative, with information that you actually need, with personal recommendations about restaurants and places to visit
And finally Tina and Graham were warm, friendly, helpful and available, but never intrusive
Visit Marvellous Moribhan and stay in the Walnut Tree Gite, you will have no regrets
We have just come back from the most fantastic week in Brittany at the Walnut Tree Gîte! Tina and Graeme were absolutely exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect - nothing was too much trouble.
It was our first trip abroad with our 6 month old daughter and it really was memorable for so many positive reasons. She absolutely loved exploring the beautiful gardens, meeting the friendly chickens and splashing in the pool!
The gîte was very well equipped with everything we could need, it was great for a holiday with little ones as they provided a travel cot and bedding/towels, high chair, stair gates, baby bath etc... Tina and Graeme really have thought of everything!
We were lucky enough to have a week of fantastic weather and made the most of it exploring the surrounding area and then coming back for a dip in the pool each day. The book of recommendations provided was top notch and hints and tips provided by Tina and Graeme were gratefully received... we had some delicious meals out, visited beautiful medieval towns and got some good trail running routes in too!
We can't wait to go back and visit the Walnut Tree Gîte again, hopefully we will bring our pup next time!
We were here in August 2023 for our holiday. Our stay here was fabulous. Graeme and Tina are fabulous hosts who have thought of everything. The welcome package on arrival of the beautiful flowers, fresh bread and butter. Local condiments and the welcomed wine. Being next door was reassuring and your hospitality is superb. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful sights Brittany had to offer and then come back to the beautiful gite that has all of the creature comforts and much more.
The decor and furnishings are tastefully chosen and you feel really relaxed at Walnut tree gite. One of the biggest highlights was the heated pool which we all benefited from. The garden is beautiful and such a relaxing place to sit and read too.
Cannot recommend Walnut Tree Gite enough. We look forward to visiting again in 2025.
Thankyou both for a lovely holiday.
Best wishes.

Walnut tree Gite is the perfect Gite that you would dream of, it ticks all the boxes with a 5star rating.
This is our second visit and like the first time, we found the Gite to be spotlessly clean, very well
equipped and most comfortable.
Once again the welcome extras were much appreciated as was the kindness and helpfulness of our hosts.
Situated in a beautiful, tranquil, rural area, we enjoyed lovely forest and country walks along rivers and canals with our dogs Horice and Nelly, also a visit to sea this year, where we found a cove that was dog friendly, the views were stunning. Each day ended with a welcome swim in the swimming pool.
So much more to explore, we’re now looking forward to our third return visit, hopefully in 2025.
Many thanks to Tina and Graeme, for another wonderful holiday,
Louise, Steve, Pauline, Horice and Nelly
Well, what can I say, except WOW,WOW,WOW, on every level.
From meeting our hosts, to walking into & exploring the property. Luxury at it's best, from the fully equipt kitchen, to the exceptional quality of the towels & bed linen.
A very cosy, comfortable lounge with TV, freesat ( so English TV available), dvd player, selection of dvd's and a toy chest full of family games.
Beautifully appointed dining room, complete with " emergency" wine supply. Great touch.
The 2 double bedrooms, ( 1 en-suite), offer that touch of 5 star luxury and the 2 single bedrooms are perfect for kids/teens. There is even a shelf of books on the landing you can loose yourself in. There's a downstairs cloakroom & utility room. Absolutely everything has been thought of.
Outside continues that touch of luxury and relaxation. Secluded seating areas, great for reading. A patio area just right for outdoor entertaining, complete with gas BBQ. Then there's the fabulous, exceptionally well maintained, heated pool......my grandkids would have happily lived in there 🤣. Recliners are provided in the pool area and seperate pool towels are provided too. At the front of the Gite is an open barn that houses a full size table tennis table, badminton set, skipping ropes, hoola hoops, bowls and a dart board.
Along with the pool, the Gite provides a wealth of activities for all the family. For the gardeners amoungst us, the gardens are beautifully laid out with a wealth of flowers and plants, expertly chosen and tended. I really can't recommend this Gite enough. Can't wait to go back. Your hosts can also recommend places and restaurants worth visiting. Thanks to them, we visited some beautiful places and had some amazing meals out.
Thank you Tina and Graeme for ensuring our holiday was perfect. See you again soon.
