We arrived at the Gite for our week's stay after visiting last year it was set in stone that we would return this year... a fantastic week we had, the accommodation is fantastic, good location, very clean, beds are comfortable and the pool is immaculate. We like that you can venture out for nice day trips but also relax enjoying the garden and the scenery. The hosts are very welcoming and are available to step in should you need them for anything which we find is a very good comfort to know. We will definitely be back in the future.

My husband & I returned from a week in June at the beautiful Walnut Tree Gite, our third visit & booked initially after reading the wonderful reviews already posted. Well in reality everything about this holiday home was as lovely as the first time & still is absolutely fabulous & far surpasses any other properties previously visited. First of all we were met on arrival as on our previous 2 visits by Tina & Graeme who are 2 of the nicest people you could possibly meet & are perfect for this type of business. They are helpful, nothing is too much for them in making sure you enjoy a perfect holiday while at the same time just being discreetly there if you need them. After the drive from the ferry port it was really appreciated to have homemade cake, milk, bread, cheese, butter & even wine provided - essentials until we could go shopping ourselves. What can I say the gite itself is stunning, tastefully & beautifully decorated & equipped with everything & way more than you could possibly need, more like a home from home, needs to be seen to be believed! The towels & linen provided are top quality & the gite is so comfortable & spacious with beautiful bedrooms & bathroom & a separate newly refurbished shower room. One of our favourite things to do was to sit on the benches at the front of the gite each morning with coffee & homemade cake & Tina & Graeme would often come & join us for a chat - they are truly the loveliest people you could meet & we consider them now really as our friends. There are lots of places to visit in this area & detailed information has also been provided in the gite to make your holiday as simple & easy as you want it to be, whether relaxing by the pristine pool/having a bbq in the covered area provided/enjoying the beautiful seating areas/playing games in the outdoor hanger….all in the immaculately kept & beautifully planted gardens - we really enjoyed having a ‘chat’ with Graeme’s chickens too! If you fancy a day at the beach or exploring the many pretty surrounding towns & villages then all the info you could need is provided too. We’ve had another wonderful week at Walnut Gite & were really sad to leave. We had to get up early to get back to the port for our ferry crossing home but Tina & Graeme were up to wave us off & say goodbye - till next time as we’ll definitely be back again!
We were looking forward to our stay at Walnut Tree Gite based on the website pictures and the correspondence we'd had with the owners, Tina and Graeme. When we arrived everything surpassed our expectations. We were met by Tina and Graeme after a long drive down to them and it felt like we were being welcomed by family friends, they helped with our bags, were really welcoming and friendly - it was really nice and a great start to our time there. They really couldn't have done any more for us, Tina had made us a delicious quiche to save us the hassle of making dinner because we were arriving late. There were cold beers and wine in the fridge, tasty homemade cake and chutneys - it was amazing! You would be hard pushed to find something they hadn't thought of. The gite was so well equipped with everything you might need. We've never been to a place that really had thought of everything to that extent. When we stay there again we can pack half as much as we did this time, as they've got it covered. There's more kitchen equipment than I think we have at our house, there are indoor games, outdoor games, table tennis, darts, baby highchair, baby plate, bowl etc. It really does make it a much more convenient and enjoyable experience. The gite itself is just as gorgeous if not more so than the pictures show. Every time we would go through the front door we were met with the smell of the roses, then you look out and take in the peace and tranquillity. The gardens, front and back, are so well maintained and inviting that you could honestly sit in any one of the many seated areas for hours (if you don't have children that is!). Although it wasn't the hottest and sunniest time of year when we visited we still managed to get plenty of use out of the pool and even gave the barbecue a whirl. The pool is immaculate and looks brand new. We have two young children (4 and 1) and it was a good size for all of us to splash around and have fun. Our kids loved it, lots of little nooks to explore in the garden, the chickens in Tina and Graeme's garden behind, all the games, it was perfect for us. I have to mention the bedrooms...I'm not sure we have ever slept so well. The black out blinds are fantastic. We all slept longer than usual thanks to the blinds and the beds...so comfortable! The property is amazing, and for anyone looking for a peaceful easy break away, this is ideal. When you add Tina and Graeme to the mix I think you're guaranteed to have a fantastic holiday. As I said before, nothing seems too much trouble for them. They even helped us plan our journey back, with suggestions on half-way point stopovers. We were already planning our next stay there before we had even left!

Lovely gite, very comfortable, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Peaceful small village location. Owners nearby, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable but respecting your privacy.

Cannot rate the Gite enough. Have stayed twice now and loved it both times. Genuinely a beautiful place with everything you need. Highly, highly recommend.

Endlich hatten wir es in die Bretagne geschafft.....und dann noch an einen Ort, der es uns ermöglichte den Urlaub vollends zu genießen....Lieben Dank an Tina und Grae.....
We have just returned from another fabulous stay at Walnut Tree Gite, the first being two years ago. It was every bit as good as our previous stay, and so enjoyable to be back in the peaceful, secluded and stunning garden. The private heated pool is such a bonus, and lovely to spend the day around. The gite is so welcoming - it is full of character, and stylishly furnished. It is very well equipped with quality kitchen utensils and beautiful bed linen. Tina and Graeme have thought of everything - the provide a sumptuous welcome back of bottles of wine, homemade cake, chutney, preserves, freshly laid eggs from their chickens, plus all the other essentials. It is super dog friendly, with a safe and secluded garden - our dog loves being there as much as we do, and was so happy to be back and see Tina & Graeme again! Dogs get their own welcome back too. Tina & Graeme are the best of hosts, they will leave you to be, or are more than happy to have a chat and help with anything. We can't think of anything else that would have improved our stay - it is just perfect!

We were guests at The Walnut Tree from 1 to 15 June. This house feels like coming home. And that is because of the incredible hospitality of Tina and Graeme. A lovely welcome package will be ready
upon arrival. There was even a package ready for our dog Saar!
The house has been furnished with a lot of love and care. Beautiful and good furniture, the same applies to crockery, cutlery, pans, bed linen, towels and beach towels. Everything has been thought of.
Around the house there is a beautifully quiet garden with many flower borders. A feast for birds, insects and the guests. And in the garden there is a nice, warm swimming pool.
The Morbihan is a beautiful region to explore. In the Walnut Tree you will find plenty of information for trips nearby and further afield.
In our opinion, highly recommended. Tina and Graeme, many thanks for your good care and a paw from Saar.

Thank you both for a fabulous break away from it all. Walnut Tree is a real home from home and we have loved every minute.
We had a chat about the things we loved about WTG and we came up with the following:
Monty- The pool
JJ- It's uniqueness
Jenny-The birdsong
Colin- The gorgeous garden
Thank you for your super kind hospitality, it was the icing on the cake! See you next year!
