****************
Had an excellent
week. Definitely not long enough though! We were so
lucky with the weather. Couldn't fault the facilities nor
Robert and Veronica who were excellent hosts.
The pool at
Reguiny is good for kids. The stones at Carnac are
recommended. Thank you to Robert and Veronica for the
eggs, advice, cucumbers and film - who could ask for anything
more (well maybe a tree house next time!?) Thanks -

Had a great two
weeks here at Les Blancs.
Many thanks to Robert for his kind help, finding places via
the internet and for the weather forecasts. Couldn't have
asked for better weather!!
Were
disappointed with Pont Scorff Zoo. It is very hilly and at
times difficult to walk around. Food there was very
expensive. Some of the enclosures are small & cramped and
quite smelly. Pontivy market is worth a visit, but look
out for the man with the sausages. You will not get past
without spending 15 euros! Carnac beach is lovely and the
drive to Quiberon is worth doing - ask Robert!
We would recommend Les Blancs
to anyone!, and will. Alan & Ann, Robert & Sarah,
Grace, James, Sarah & John, Lillian & Samuel - June 2008.

We've had a very
relaxing week in Brittany and are sad to be returning to the
hurly burly of life in London! The gite is so peaceful &
v. well equipped. The children loved splashing about in
the warm pool and the trampoline has been a big hit too.
William has particularly enjoyed having so much space to kick a
ball about.
We've had lovely
days out in Josselin (pretty town - we recommend the doll
museum), Vannes (aquarium and butterfly garden worth a visit)
and Carnac (great beaches & good picnic area nr. the standing
stones). We highly recommend a meal at Chez Bido -
delicious food & v. friendly!
Thank you Robert,
for making us feel so welcome & for the loan of the DVD's.
We were sorry to have missed Veronica but hope to meet her on a
future visit! Here's to a busy, successful summer!

What a wonderful
place! Thank you for your hospitality, you've thought of
everything needed. Even though the weather could've been a
bit kinder & our stay longer we've enjoyed every minute.
Having to rush
for the ferry now but will write a larger comment on website
when we get home as we have nothing but praise for Les Blancs!
Thanks again. Amanda & Billy, Carol & Eric - April/May

2007
Fantastic two weeks – perfect weather! Thanks to
Farmer Bob and Farmer Veronica for making us feel so welcome
here. House and facilities fantastic – swimming pool and
trampoline used everyday and bikes were great to have.
Enjoyed days out at Carnac beach, Josselin and
Vannes (great on market day). Bike rides along the canal and
lunch at Les Forges were great days out. But plenty of relaxing
days around Les Blancs too!
Ella will particularly miss the chickens and
Harry & good luck with the duck-chicks! Thanks again, hope to
come back again sometime.

Excellent week, lovely weather and great
facilities here at Les Blancs. Children loved the trampoline
and swimming in the pool. Also played tennis and crazy golf at
Reguiny (thanks Robert & Veronica for the loan of the tennis
rackets & balls) Cycling was ideal, as there is very little
traffic and far fewer banks and hills than at home!
Great meals enjoyed at Josselin (cards on side of
fridge). Most of us ate escargot for the first (& probably the
last!) time, including the children. Excellent beach at Carnac
and would recommend the ‘Resistance Museum’ together with its
creperie.
Many thanks Robert & Veronica for an excellent
holiday, we really couldn’t fault it.

Recommend playing boules with the local French
here in the barn – great fun! (Sunday pm)
Josselin Clock Tower is free - 130 steps – fab
views. Great Pizzas in square – and very quiet at any time.
Check out the view on the other side of the river opposite the
Chateau. The Resistance Museum at Malestroit and
Half-Track ride is excellent, lots to see with great exhibits.
Lorient beach is not too far, free parking and accessible.
V.
clean too. Great building sand.
Suggest the table tennis in the barn - not easy
when the wind blows. Great place - loved the swimming pool
and feeding the chickens. The best gite we’ve found for
facilities and room. Thanks again.

I will miss my holiday here, it was very
enjoyable. Tilly aged 8 1/2. xx
Our French experience – Two weeks of fun, frolics & French cuisine! We have had a
fantastic time using the brilliant facilities supplied by Robert
and Veronica. We recommend locally Chez Bido the Creperie at
Radenac, lovely food and the authentic pizzas at La Campanella,
Reguiny. The Monday market at Auray was huge & busy. Carnac
beach clean & great for kids. Cycled a lot locally on safe
roads.
Thanks to Robert & Veronica for a super house,
you have made our holiday so special & have made us feel so
welcome. Tilly has especially loved the animals! Good luck
with your adventure.

We have all enjoyed a very
restful week in this lovely cottage. The children -
judging by their loud appreciation - have loved the pool and the
various games available to them. We really liked our visit
to Josselin which is a very pretty, ancient town with lovely
flowers.
Our thanks to Veronica &
Robert for everything. Emma & Paul, Sam, Harry, Joe,
Ben & Katie. + Granny & Grandad - Pat and Dudley. July/August
2007.

Thank you so much for sharing
your beautiful French home with us for the past 2 weeks.
The accommodation, facilities and your hospitality have been
superb!
The children have enjoyed the
pool, extensive grounds, all the animals and your newly acquired
trampoline (and boules of course). Can recommend the
nearby creperie at Les Forges (had 2 lovely meals there),
la Ferme de la Monde, Carnac (great beach) and cycling to
the local lake at Reguiny.
In all, an excellent and
totally relaxing time, thanks again and good luck for the
future! Darren, Jayne, Alice, Matthew and Adam.

Dear Veronica and Robert, Thank you for lovely
and relaxing days in your beautiful house. The swimming pool
was extremely popular with the children. We have also enjoyed
the large garden with lots of space for playing. Several
afternoons we all had a great time playing ‘boules’ in the barn.
We have explored the surroundings, and will
recommend Auray, Vannes, Josselin, Quiberon, Ile de Berder
(please note the tide schedule) and afternoon trips on the bikes
in the local area. For food, we highly recommend the local
creperie Chez Bido in Radenac – but the best dinners were served
in the spacious kitchen of Les Blancs. We appreciated the good
facilities of the house and specially the four showers! The
tomatoes and cucumbers from the Potter family were a breakfast
hit for everybody.
TUSEN TAKK FOR OSS! Greetings from your first
Norwegian guests,
Erik, Agnethe, Ada and Helga, Christophe, Margit Irene, Aurelia
and Philip. July 2007

29th June 2007.
Today is our last full day at Les Blancs, tomorrow we have to
leave this idyllic place. Although the weather has not
been too kind to us and have not been able to make full use of
the pool, we have enjoyed ourselves in our comfortable
surroundings and have visited all the local areas and some of
the further afield towns of Vannes and Lorient. For the
best creperie in Brittany visit Chez Bido in Radenac.
Thank you Robert and Veronica for making us so welcome.
Myra, David, Martin, Diane, Luke and Dylan. June 2007.

Thank you for a
lovely relaxing holiday. We loved the house and were
grateful for a superbly equipped kitchen! William
especially enjoyed the pool - so warm - and the swings. We
visited lots of pretty towns in the area and recommend Auray
with its beautiful port and restaurants. The trip to
Quiberon was well worth it, with a big sandy beach and lots of
good boutiques. Carnac Plage is good for rock pools and
collecting shells. Alison, Dan, William & Evie.
May/June 2007
Thank you for
your hospitality - we had a great time exploring the area.
We particularly liked Auray and Vannes (this market is worth a
visit on Wednesdays). Had some great food at 'Tranquility'
in Pontivy - English speaking, & very obliging with children.
Tom, Sue and Helen May/June 2007.
****************
Thank you for a
great holiday, an excellent gite, pretty countryside - and even
for your help with recording a TV programme on DVD. We
recommend the Lunch Cruise on Vedettes de l'Odet shipping
company from Benodet (near Quimper) up the Odet river. It
isn't cheap but well worth it! John and Maurice - May
2007.

2006
A warm welcome!
Nice property, showers and basins in all bedrooms, great
with 4 adults & 4 teens!! Enjoyed exploring the area,
Josselin well worth a visit, also Pontivy and Vannes.
Very quiet
restful area! The DVDs were popular on the wet days.
Thanks! Steve and Bobbie, Bob and Marguerite,
Matthew, James, Amy & Hannah from Colchester - October 2006.
************** Despite only
having 4 days at Les Blancs, we have had a wonderful break.
The Resistance museum at Malestroit, Le Bretagne restaurant in
Reguiny and of course the cycling come highly recommended!
To Robert and
Veronica, we wish you every success in the future, and thank you
for your hospitality. Hopefully we can return for a longer
stay! Godfrey & Karen, Alexander and Alisha. from Ewhurst - August 2006.

This is a nice
house, it was really good sun. I liked it that we could
play football. David, Chris, Thomas & Sam.
What a very
restful place and a very friendly welcome. Trips to Carnac
- lovely beach - and Josselin, excellent grand beer! Worth
a trip. Fantastic quiet gite - children happy and
therefore so are we! Lovely, lovely place. We will
certainly be back! Ray, Kevin & Mandie, Jeremy,
David, Chris, Thomas & Sam from Exeter - August 2006.

Good places we enjoyed.

zoo, Josselin, Ploemel beach, Chez Bido creperie Radenac.
We enjoyed most going to the zoo. Georgina and
