About this property

Wisteria Cottage - Vine, Bamboo and Wisteria Cottages

In the heart of Southern Brittany's beautiful countryside rest Vine, Bamboo and Wisteria Cottages. They are converted from a Breton longere and are part of a small hamlet called Hevedic (meaning Little Sanctuary in Breton). Situated within a conservation area, the peace and tranquility has hardly changed since the reign of Louis XIV. These beautiful stone cottages have breathtaking vaulted ceilings, highlighting wonderful beams and Vine and Wisteria Cottages each have a huge Breton fireplace at its heart. Discover at your leisure 1 acre garden complete with wood burning hot tub, a potager full of flowers, herbs and vegetables and many hidden corners to sit and relax. Hevedic Wood has many paths leading to the Blavet river and the small town of Quistinic can be reached this way if you do not wish to drive. A cycle/footpath runs beside the river passing through towns and hamlets to the coast in one direction or Pontivy in the other. This area is perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, trail running, kayaking and walking. Poul Fetan, the 16th Century Village of French Culture is 5 minutes walk away and makes for a perfect day out with costumed hosts re-inacting life here in the past and a tavern selling local ciders and beers and Breton meals. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room fitted with a vanity sink unit with lighting and power point and WC. A twin bedroom has separate shower, vanity sink unit with power point and WC. Both bedrooms have vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The lounge has a feature Breton fireplace with wood burning stove that heats radiators throughout the property, two sofas and a coffee table. English satellite television is provided, as is French TV. There is also a selection of books and games. Fully fitted kitchen/dining area has modern units with plenty of work surfaces, a built in oven and hob, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, kettle, cafetiere, ironing board and iron. There is a pine dining table and four chairs. High quality bed linen, fluffy towels and luxurious robes are provided.

Just Lovely
Gorgeous gite cottage in a beautiful setting. Linda and Dave could not have been more helpful and accommodating and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Wisteria cottage was immaculately clean and very well equipped. The gardens are gorgeous and the hot tub was a great treat! Good location for exploring this region of Brittany. Loved Vannes, Josselin and 10 year old daughter (and her parents) really enjoyed Kingoland! The elderly Felix the Cat was great company too! Overall a wonderful holiday was had by all. Big thanks again to Linda and Dave! Would not hesitate to recommend Wisteria Cottage, its hosts and this gorgeous part of France.

We will be back!
It would be hard to exaggerate what an excellent property this is for a get-away-from-it-all holiday. It is a beautiful cottage, and no creature comforts have been overlooked, from the comfortable furniture to the luxurious fluffy towels and robes or the welcome hamper of home made bread and jam, eggs laid by the owners' own hens, biscuits and other treats. The situation is idyllic, in a location which is both peaceful and beautiful. The hot tub is wonderful on a cool evening. But most of all the friendly and informative attention of the owners, whose knowledge of the area is encyclopaedic, and for whom nothing is too much trouble made this a truly memorable stay. I'm already looking at my diary to see when I can come back.

Breton Country Paradise.
We stayed in Wisteria Cottage for a week with another couple. Linda and David gave us such a wonderful warm welcome on our arrival making us feel immediately at home. They really took hosting to a different level, although respecting our privacy they were never far away for all our needs and a friendly chat! The cottages have been recently, beautifully, restored to a very high standard with an exquisite cozy feel and all your home comforts. As we entered the cottage another lovely touch was a wonderfully stacked welcome hamper provided by Linda and David with some essentials and so much more! The countryside surrounding the cottage is stunning with woodland walks taking in amazing views of the river as it meanders through the valley and local restaurants and waterside cafe again within walking distance. The night sky is breath taking with shooting stars and what better way to enjoy it than relaxing back in the naturally wood fired hot tub after your days excursions. If you want to explore further afield the cottages are also well placed to drive to picturesque medieval towns such as Josslin and Vannes. To Linda and David we would like to thank you both again for making our holiday truly memorable! To those wanting the most perfect Breton Break look no further then Wisteria / Vine Cottages!!!

un lieu pour se détendre
Un endroit où l'on se sent absolument bien. Nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement et nous nous sommes sentis très bien dans notre beau cottage. Il ne manquait vraiment rien. Surtout quand on arrive très tard après une journée de voyage, on apprécie beaucoup d'avoir déjà du pain, des œufs et du cidre qui nous attendent. Linda et David sont des propriétaires très attentifs et chaleureux. La situation est particulière, un peu isolée, mais absolument calme, entourée de forêts et de champs. Les côtes avec leurs magnifiques villes de Carnac, Vannes et la Belle Ile En Mer, mais aussi de nombreuses plages sont facilement accessibles en voiture. Ce furent des jours de détente que nous ne voudrions pas manquer. A place to feel absolutely at home. We received a very warm welcome and felt very comfortable in our beautiful cottage. There was really nothing missing. Especially when you arrive very late after a day of travelling, you really appreciate having bread, eggs and cider waiting for you. Linda and David are very attentive and warm landlords. The location is special, somewhat isolated, but absolutely peaceful, surrounded by woods and fields. The coast with its wonderful towns of Carnac, Vannes and the beautiful island of Belle Ile En Mer, but also many beaches are easily accessible by car. These were relaxing days that we would not have wanted to miss.

Perfect holiday home for a week of exploring with everything you need for a home from home
We spent a week here end of august 2022 and had a wonderful week exploring southern Brittany. The hosts David and Linda were excellent. Plenty of helpful information and nothing was too much trouble. Even supplying a hoover to empty half the beach out of the car. Wisteria Cottage is one of three extremely well equipped holiday cottages, each with wonderful character and charm. The cottage is spacious with 2 good size bedrooms and 2 shower rooms. Outside the front faces south and is sheltered from any breeze. The hosts set up badminton, table tennis and sun loungers around the gardens and grounds. There is even a log fired hot tub. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would heartily recommend to family and friends. At night only the crickets and owls can be heard, the location is perfect to escape a busy working life. Thank you David and Linda for a most enjoyable holiday.

Idyllisches Paradies
Wir sind nach längerer Anfahrt im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes im Paradies gelandet. Linda und David haben uns herzlich empfangen und der HotPot nach der langen Reise eine Wohltat, dazu der schöne Garten und das Cottage sowie die kleinen Überaschungen zur Begrüßung. Alles ist liebvoll gestaltet und dekoriert worden, bis ins kleinste Detail. Die Ausflugsziele in den Süden oder Rennes sind alle gut und schnell zu erreichen. Lohnenswert ist auch ein Spaziergang durch den kleinen Wald, der hinter der Häuserreihe beginnt. Vorallem jetzt, wo die kleinen lilafarbenen "Hasenglöckchen" blühen. Wir können die Unterkunft nur jedem weiterempfehlen.

A wonderful and relaxing holiday
We had a wonderful stay at Wisteria Cottage. The location is very peaceful and is great for getting away from it all but within a fairly short drive of the coast and some lovely towns and villages. A great place to relax, enjoy BBQ's in the large gardens and soak in the wood fired hot tub. The river blavet is close by and is great for walks and cycling. We made good use of the bikes that were available and enjoyed kayaking on the river. Linda and David were very welcoming and provided many useful tips to make the most of our holiday . Thank you for a great family holiday and we hope to return again soon.

Ein außergewöhnlich schöner Aufenthalt
Wisteria cottage ist ein wunderschönes, vollständig renoviertes Cottage mit besonderem Charme, das mit allem ausgestattet ist, was man benötigt. In dem großen, liebevoll gestalteten, z.T. auch wild gelassenen Garten findet man Liegen für ein Sonnenbad, aber auch schattige und windgeschützte Plätze zum Lesen oder für ein Glas Wein ... Die Gastgeber, Linda und David, sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit, wir wurden mit einem Willkommens-Picknick-Korb empfangen und erhielten während unseres Aufenthalts viele gute Tipps für Unternehmungen. Die Lage von Wisteria Cottage war für uns perfekt, weil wir mit dem Auto innerhalb einer Stunde viele Ziele in der Umgebung, wie Concarneau, Quiberon etc. erreichen konnten.

Schöner ruhiger Ort im Landesinneren
Linda und David sind sehr herzliche und sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber. Sie geben zahlreiche Tipps und Empfehlungen. Wer Fahrrad fahren mag sollte unbedingt eine Radtour entlang des Flusses Blavet machen. Für Kinder gibt es viel Platz zum Fußball oder Federball spielen ohne dies Erwachsenen oder ander Gäste zu nerven. Wir können es wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Zum Meer mit gutem muss man mind 50 Min Fahrzeit rechnen

Family holiday
We had an excellent week at Wisteria Cottage. David was away doing a mammoth cycle trek when we arrived, Linda was a perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved the hot tub and had a bbq most nights in the fantastic garden. Spent a great day at Poul Foutan, well worth a visit and just popped back for lunch before returning to enjoy the afternoon demonstrations. On David’s return it was great to hear about his travel from Devon to Quistinic by bike. Would love to return as we love cycling and his knowledge of the local area was great. Thankyou both for such a welcoming cottage and holiday

Well equipped and comfortable cottage in beautiful countryside. Attentive and helpful hosts.
Really enjoyed our stay in Wisteria Cottage. Well equipped and comfortable cottage - everything you need and up to date local information including maps. Garden gives secluded sitting out areas and a great wood burner hot tub. Local area is fantastic for road cycling. This part of Brittany is one big cycling park; quite lanes, interesting villages and towns, rural countryside and ... hills! Famous tdf climb at Mur de Bretagne can be included in a 60 mile loop. Local racing calendar is busy and we enjoyed seeing a local event. David and Linda were attentive hosts and couldn't do enough to help us get the most out of our stay.

Paradies auf Erden!
Diese Unterkunft kann unsere ganze Familie ohne Wenn und Aber heiss weiterempfehlen. Der Empfang von Linda und David war superherzlich und die Unterkunft ist mit viel Liebe und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Man findet alles was man benötigt und vieles mehr. Der Garten rund um die Unterkunft steht zur freien Verfügung und ist eine Oase. Linda hat einen grossen Gemüsegarten (danke für die frischen Tomaten!), es gibt einen Hühnerhof, zahme Katzen, eine kleine Wiese zum Fussball und Badminton spielen und immer wieder versteckte Plätzchen zum ausspannen (Hollywoodschaukel). Als Highlight hat es einen HotPot (Tücher und Bademantel stehen zur Verfügung), in welchem es sich wunderbar baden lässt. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig und abgelegen. Zum Einkaufen braucht es Zeit, denn die Läden sind nicht gerade ums Eck. Den Gästen stehen Mountainbikes (auch Kindergrössen) zur Verfügung, mit denen man die umliegenden Wälder (wunderschöne Kastanienwälder) auf kleinen Trampelpfaden erkunden kann. Schön ist auch der Fluss Blavet, welcher in rund 15 Minuten mit dem Velo erreicht werden kann. Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Josselin oder Carnac sind gut 1 h Autofahrt entfernt. Auch lohnt sich ein Besuch im Village d'autrefois Poul Fétan, gleich nebenan. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder - Linda und David sind ausserordentlich tolle Gastgeber. Vielen, vielen Dank für die schöne Ferienwoche, die Ihr uns beschert habt!
