Lovely quiet rural retreat
This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful rural setting with great facilities and great hosts. The cottage is well equiped with clean, comfy rooms and all you need in the kitchen, although we mainly cooked on the bbq outside each evening. The pool is warm and clean and nicely secluded. It is very rural, so if you want peace and quiet with very little traffic, apart from cows and tractors it's pefect. Gill and Martin are very welcoming and always on hand if needed, but not in any way intruding. Gill's pottery workshop is a great addition, and the animals also add to the charm of the cottage. There are a couple of little villages nearby that have all you need, with bigger towns further afield. It is a bit of a drive to the coast, but plenty of beaches to find if you want. Overall, a very peaceful and relaxing stay. Thank you Gill and Martin!

Summer holiday
A great place for all the family. We were a group made up of 5 to 69 years old and all had a great time. The facilities and the surrounding were everything we expected but it was the owners, Gillian and Martin, who made the difference . They were incredibly helpful and welcoming and the pottery class was a massive bonus.

Lovely Quiet Location
Lovely old stone cottage in a tranquil rural location, though still not far from shops, beaches etc. We made full use of the games barn and pool! The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, and we had great days out in this beautiful region. Highly recommended and we’d love to return some time.

About the host

Hosted by Gillian Cossins

Host profile image
Gill and Martin moved to this most beautiful part of Brittany from England in 2001, having lived in Essex for the previous 25 years. They took over the property in Cornean with its two existing gites and have enjoyed the company of a stream of varied and interesting people holidaying with them for the past sixteen years. Many of these visitors, they are delighted to say, visit them year after year and have become good friends. The swimming pool and gardens were a huge bonus and when the barn next door came up for sale it added to their dream of having a pottery and craft studio on site as well. Gill teaches regular pottery and craft classes each week, to which guests are more than welcome to join in. Their dream was further realised when they added a little hobby farm for rescued animals.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very central and as such it is no problem to get to a great variety of interesting places, beaches, golf courses, shops and restaurants.
On site you can enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool and the games barn with bebefoot, table tennis, pool and a full size snooker table.
Both cottages are equipped with English and French satellite television, hairdryers and irons and have access to washing machine and ironing facilities. We also provide free Wifi access.
Cots and high chairs can be provided also free of charge.
All beds are made up ready for your arrival and a bath towel is provided for each guest. These towels are for inside use only. We do not provide beach or pool towels.
A chauffeur and baby sitting service is available, for a small fee, if you would like to have a nice adult night out on your own.
Gill also has a two storey barn conversion studio overflowing with pottery and craft equipment where you can try your hand at handbuilding pottery, glazing techniques, painting techniques, glass fusing, serviette craft, jewellery making, scrapbooking, card making, crochet, knitting, patchwork and take home a unique work of art. Everyone is welcome in the studio beginner to the more experienced and Gill will fit lessons around the other things that you want to do on your holiday.

What makes this property unique

Special interest holidays:
Pottery and Craft Holidays. We will arrange your art and craft holiday entirely around the things that you want to do and experience. We offer short breaks, self catering or all inclusive holidays and you can choose to bring your own transport or be picked up from our nearest Port or Airport and chauffeur driven for you stay. You can either concentrate on just one of the many subjects we cover, choose several options to have a go at or embrace the whole of course, on how long you intend to stay with us. There are lots of arts and craft classes to enjoy on our specially tailored holidays, please visit our website for more details (see below).
There is a large equestrian centre in Loudeac, about fifteen minutes away, where you can arrange to have a hour or so horseriding or trekking around the beautiful Breton countryside. Canoeing plays a big part in the local area and there are plenty of rivers and the Nante/Brest Canal offering varying challenges to the adventurous canoeist. In the Summer months our local Canoe Club in Plouguenast opens its doors to visitors of all abilities. Both of our local villages have Supermarkets, Banks, Churches, Bakeries and Butchers as well as a few other shops and small restaurants. Within 15 minutes is Moncontour, a medieval walled town with 16th Century ramparts and the larger towns of Loudeac, St. Brieuc and Pontivy are within a half hour to forty minute drive where there is a fantastic range of shops and restaurants. There is a large Go-Kart Track just outside of Lamballe where you can enjoy hours of entertainment both as a driver or an observer. They cater for the very beginner to the more advanced driver and are able to accomodate individuals or team events. The track has quite a few challenging bends and hairpins and has a lovely decking area where you can sit and enjoy the events. There is also a bar where you can purchase refreshments.
