Beautiful and quiet

The location is great for exploring Western Brittany. Claire and Richard are the perfect hosts: very attentive and helpful but always mindful of their guests privacy. The room looks even nicer than on the pictures and felt really comfortable. We would have gladly stayed longer if we could.

Restful break

If you are looking for a peaceful and tucked away setting away from it all, then Penlan Gites are for you. We had a wonderful one week stay in April 2014. Richard and Claire are happy to offer help and information if needed and made us feel welcome the moment we arrived. The property is in first class order and We would recommend these gites to our family and friends, we will differently be returning.

Delightful cottage in the midst of verdant nature

Just what we were looking for: a spacious and quiet place where to spend a few days in a natural park but within driving distance from the best beaches and interesting places in western Brittany. The room was clean and provided with all one may need, including a bottle of wine, a baguette and cheese that generously welcomed us at arrival. Richard was also very attentive in showing us how everything worked in the room, and in telling us about the best restaurants to visit in the neighborhood. I would definitely like to stay there again in the near future.

Ruhe und Erholung pur

Erwartet haben wir eine kleine Fereinwohnung, erhalten haben wir eine großzügige und liebevoll bis ins Detail umgebaute große Wohnung. Die Vermieter waren sehr aufmerksam und diskret und haben uns in allen Belangen schnell und unkompliziert weitergeholfen. Wir haben uns in den 14 Tagen pudelwohl gefühlt und von unserem Standort die Halbinsel von Crozon begeistert umwandert.
