About the host
Hosted by Gillian Cossins
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 twenty four 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.
A linen service is available at a cost of £5.00 per person, per week, whereby we make up whatever beds you require and also provide towels, for bathroom use only, ready for when you arrive. You can also bring your own bed linen.
Two course, Evening meals can be prepared and left in your cottage by prior arrangement at a cost of 25.00 Euros per head.
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.
Brittany is a most beautiful area of France that has its own unique cultures and language. It is a most green and pleasant land, as the song says, and will allow you to breath in pure fresh air, smell the daisies and recharge your batteries.
