We had a lovely time at Walnut Tree gite. The welcome pack was nice after a long drive from Belgium. Tina and Graeme are very good hosts. Help where necessary, without being intrusive. Our dog was very welcome. The children could not be beaten by the pool. In the meantime we enjoyed the relaxing garden. The gite is well equipped with everything you need. The area offers many nice excursions. Recommended!

Walnut tree gite is truly exquisite. The gite is fully equipped. The house is not only very comfortable, but also very attractively decorated. Tina and Graeme are wonderful hosts. From the first reception you can feel how much love they have transformed this place into a wonderful holiday resort. Everything has been thought of: a cold bottle of white wine, a welcome pack for dogs, fresh flowers, freshly baked delicious cake and last but not least lovely soft linen. The garden with the private pool is a paradise. Every day we ate outside at the large dining table, where we of course eagerly made use of the top gas BBQ. The kitchen is very complete with plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils. Both bathrooms are neatly clean. It is not necessary to bring toys or games, because that has also been thought of. Tina and Graeme clean the pool daily. That happens unnoticed - early in the morning. The village is wonderfully quiet, with plenty of walking opportunities nearby. On the banks of the Blavet (a 10-minute drive at most) it is wonderful .. also for the dog. With an hour's drive you reach the beautiful Breton beaches. We have been in Walnut tree gite for a week, but it could have been longer. With a heavy heart we had to say goodbye to this lovely place and the cordial owners.: an absolute must!

Walnut tree gite is werkelijk voortreffelijk. De gite is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het huis is niet alleen erg comfortabel, maar ook heel sfeervol ingericht. Tina en Graeme zijn geweldige hosts. Vanaf de eerste ontvangst is voelbaar met hoeveel liefde zij deze plek tot een heerlijk vakantieoord hebben omgetoverd. Werkelijk aan alles is gedacht : een koud flesje witte wijn, een honden welkomstpakket, verse bloemen, vers gebakken overheerlijke cake en niet te vergeten heerlijk zacht linnen. De tuin met het prive zwembad is een paradijs. We hebben iedere dag heerlijk buiten gegeten aan de grote eettafel, waarbij we uiteraard gretig gebruik hebben gemaakt van de top gas-bbq. De keuken is zeer compleet met ruim voldoende servies en keukengerei. De beide badkamers zijn keurig schoon. Het is niet nodig om speelgoed of spelletjes mee te nemen, want ook daaraan is gedacht. Tina en Graeme maken het zwembad dagelijks schoon. Dat gebeurt ongemerkt - in alle vroegte. Het dorpje is heerlijk rustig, met voldoende wandelmogelijkheden in buurt. Aan de oever van de Blavet ( hooguit 10 minuten rijden) is het heerlijk .. ook voor de hond. Met een klein uur rijden bereik je de prachtige Bretonse stranden. We zijn een week in Walnut tree gite geweest, maar dat had best langer mogen zijn. Met pijn in het hart hebben we dit heerlijke plekje en de hartelijke eigenaren gedag moeten zeggen.: een absolute aanrader!
Such a beautiful Gite. We had a lovely holiday at Walnut Tree Gite. The gite was decorated beautifully and was lovely and clean. A gorgeous welcome pack greeted us complete with wine and cake. Tina and Graeme are lovely and nothing was too much trouble. There was lots to do in the surrounding areas but the girls were just happy playing in the pool. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Don’t hesitate to book the Gite - I’m sure you will have a lovely time.

We had a wonderful week at Walnut Tree Gite. The house is full of character, extremely comfortable and stylishly furnished. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The spacious gardens were absolutely stunning, and there were various secluded places to sit, either in the shade or sun, and which are private and not overlooked. It has its own private heated swimming pool which was such a plus, as many of the gites i looked at had shared pools, so this was a fantastic find. Last but not least, Tina and Graeme were the perfect hosts - totally respected your privacy, but were always there if you wanted some information, or even just a chat. They also have the most adorable dog who got along perfectly with our pooch too. Couldn't recommend more highly!

My husband & I have just returned from a fantastic week’s holiday at Walnut Tree Gîte. The gîte is in a small & quiet but beautiful village in the Brittany countryside but close to explore other lovely surrounding towns & villages such as Pontivy & Saint Nicholas. Pontivy is ideal for any shopping you may need & Saint Nicholas for a wonderful stroll along the stunning riverside, followed by a stop for a refreshing glass of rose wine & to sample delicious traditional French crepes. And with only around 40 minute drives we visited the beautiful village of Josselin & also had a fabulous day out at the seaside. Brittany is picturesque & unspoilt, the villages are clean, pretty & so well kept. The gîte itself is beautifully decorated, extremely spacious, immaculately clean & exceptionally well equipped. The owners have taken a lot of care in thinking how to make your stay at Walnut Tree Gîte as comfortable as if you were at home. The added touches are outstanding & the welcome pack is fabulous - red & white wine & home-made cake, jam & chutney plus bread, butter, cheese, milk, tea, coffee & nibbles provided. The gardens around Walnut Tree Gîte are spacious, stunning with colourful shrubs & plants & superbly maintained. As is the added bonus of the daily maintained heated swimming pool & lovely seating & covered Al fresco dining area. And Tina & Graeme are the perfect hosts, really lovely people who live next door & are there if you need any help & advice of where to visit/shop etc. And finally a mention to the lovely Poppy dog who would come out to see us every morning when we were sitting at the front of the gîte in the sunshine having our morning coffee & a slice of Tina’s home-made coffee & walnut cake. Five star gîte, five star holiday - we’ll definitely be back!

We stayed for a week at the Walnut Tree and it is a wonderful gite. Well equipped, comfortable and a home away from home. We had 4 people, in 4 bedrooms, but it could have fit a few more comfortably. The setting is peaceful and quiet; you do need a car, but the views driving to the village are very pretty and perfect for a jog or walk in the morning or evening. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and finishing touches were provided. The Welcome Kit was wonderful (including wine and brie!) and Tina and Graeme could not do enough to ensure our stay was a good one. It was a bit cold for us to use the pool, but the garden was truly lovely. The gite is smack in the middle of Brittany and we took trips to Quimper, Rennes and the coast, all were an easy drive. Communication was excellent and we hope to visit again.
We can definitely recommend a holiday at Walnut Tree Gite. We had a fab time! Set in a peaceful village location in a beautiful area of Brittany with lots of interesting places to visit and close enough to the coast for day trips to the beaches. The weather was perfect, especially for mid-september, so we spent a lot of time each day around the lovely pool and the evenings dining alfresco in the very pretty garden. The gite was very comfortable and had everything you could need, plus a great welcome pack with homemade goodies. The owners Tina and Graeme have thought of everything to make their guests feel welcome.
Walnut Tree Gite is the perfect location for a quiet break in the unspoilt Bretton countryside. The Gite is in a very small and quiet village but close enough to Pontivy to explore and find all the things you'll need. The Gite itself is exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The beds are super comfortable and the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to think about their guests needs. The fabulous welcome pack means that if you haven't had chance to go shopping on the way, you won't go hungry for your first meal. The garden and pool are an added bonus and both are exceptionally well maintained. Finally, Tina and Graeme are the perfect hosts. They can't for enough for you and have clearly thought a lot about what their guests might need. Thoroughly recommended. We will be back!
We had a great holiday at the Walnut Tree Gîte! The property was really well equipped for all our needs, with everything you could need in the kitchen, comfortable furnishings throughout, good wifi, outdoor table tennis and a heated pool. Both the cottage and its grounds were immaculately maintained. Thanks to the owners’ Tina efforts and attention to detail, all our party had a restful and enjoyable stay. The gîte is in a peaceful village, with great local walks, and attractive towns, restaurants and markets nearby. There are a range of activities available in the wider area suitable for children and adults including historic buildings and castles, along with the prehistoric site at Carnac. Further afield we also particularly enjoyed cycling along the local river and canal and visiting some of the beautiful sandy beaches. We highly recommend a stay at this lovely house and we hope to return!
Tina et Graeme nous ont chaleureusement accueillis dans leur gîte, qui a été pensé pour le confort des locataires. L'endroit est très calme, apaisant, et le jardin est magnifique ! Plein de recoins différents sont aménagés pour profiter du soleil à toute heure de la journée, se poser avec un livre, ou profiter en famille. La maison possède également plusieurs espaces qui invitent au calme et à la détente. Sous le hangar, ils ont mis à disposition des jeux extérieurs (tennis de table, fléchettes, badminton, etc..). Nous avons même fait des matchs avec eux, pour le plus grand plaisir des enfants. La piscine dans le jardin, sécurisée par des barrières et une alarme, a ravi petits et grands. Tina et Graeme (et Poppy!) sont très agréables, très discrets, tout en restant disponibles. Vraiment, nous avons passé une semaine très reposante et chaleureuse. Les enfants ont hâte d'y retourner ! Nous recommandons vivement !
