The Longere Sleeps 5 (2 Bedrooms)

Nice cosy place, in a wonderful garden.Janet is a very caring hostess

If you are looking to wind down and discover the Brittany then this is the best place I could imagine for you. We are just back from our family holiday (3 kids - 14, 16 and 18) and I will say that we had had a truly wonderful time. We felt great and slept awesome in this romantic house (stone and wood). The garden is just a somewhat beautiful place to relax, have a glass of french wine or play badminton (which we did more often that I would have thought after our initial arrival). The only thing that is even better than this truly unique property is the warmth and welcoming nature of Janet and her son Jeromy. They made us feel welcome from the first minute we arrived, supported us with great tips for things to see (thanks!) and activities (thanks again!) and were always available for any question or support. If you are looking for some wonderful memories from the Brittany I can highly recommend this. I hope this review was helpful - in any case - enjoy your holiday! (btw. - Janet and Jeromy speak english fluently which was very very helpful for us due to our poor french)

Clean, comfortable property in a perfect location for exploring the local coastlines, small islands and local towns and villages. Pontrieux (5 mins drive) is a gem in itself, with a good supermarket, too. Janet and her family were helpful if we needed anything, otherwise unobtrusive.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. We appreciated the great hospitality of the owners and the little touches like bottle of wine and bread and jam for our breakfast. The owners were very responsive to our requests and made daily checks to see if we needed anything. The cottage and surrounding area were perfect for a relaxing holiday in the countryside but also within short drive to many tourist sites in the Brittany region. The cottage had many games for our 5 year old daughter to keep her entertained and even a bicycle for her to learn how to ride it. Fun activities for the parents as well (badminton, ping pong).

Who is looking, for a cozy, picturesque location to stay and relax, far away from stress and hectic rush, is here at the right place. The host family is so hospitable and helpful, but without being invasive. When we arrived at Saturday evening, after a long car drive from Austria, Janet surprised us with ingredients for a nice little breakfast in our house. After a good night sleep, she told us some remarkable ideas / insider tips to experience the enviroment (great villages / cities / castles / markets to visit, beaches to experience and restaurants to get to know). The garden is so beautiful and generous, but also in a very natural style. The reality of the house and its garden is even more beautiful / pitoresque than the pictures promise. In short a very lovely and hospitable place, truly worth to spend time there.

Attractive gite in a beautiful garden with lovely private outside space to enjoy the sunshine.The log burner was most welcome for the evenings and it was so nice to have a bath instead of a shower..The only negative really was the staircase - very difficult for taking up the cases and really had to concentrate in negotiating it. Could be a problem for children or the infirm.Janet was most helpful and enthusiastic about the local area and it was good to be able to check in earlier - and although we were able to stay on later we didn't know we could until after we were almost ready to go.!! Overall - a very nice stay.

We stayed in La Longere for 2 weeks, and enjoyed returning each day to the gite and its beautifully-maintained grounds after exploring the many local attractions of the Pink Granite Coast, and the characterful towns like Lannion, Paimpol, and Treguier nearby. Pontrieux, about a mile away, is an attractive little town which has all essential services, plus 50 riverside "lavoirs", 44 of which can be viewed on a boat trip which we would thoroughly recommend! Janet & Mick were generous, discreet & helpful hosts who have provided a comfortable place to stay, with a relaxed atmosphere, in a pleasant rural setting.

Great location that uses the space well! We had a relaxing time and the 2 children loved the badminton. Janet and Mick are welcoming hosts, but unobtrusive, who are keen to cater to their guests. They even provide suitable books and games for the children. We arrived to find a welcome pack which was an unexpected surprise. The log burner was fantastic, we had cosy family evenings in front of it. Thank you! The town is nearby and so picturesque. The beds were so comfy we all slept well and woke refreshed to a lovely view. None of us wanted to leave. We will definitely be back.
