Relaxing Breton Holiday Cottage with heated Swimming Pool in Kersulan, Morbihan - TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2025 Reviews

We stayed for a week at the Walnut Tree and it is a wonderful gite. Well equipped, comfortable and a home away from home. We had 4 people, in 4 bedrooms, but it could have fit a few more comfortably. The setting is peaceful and quiet; you do need a car, but the views driving to the village are very pretty and perfect for a jog or walk in the morning or evening. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and finishing touches were provided. The Welcome Kit was wonderful (including wine and brie!) and Tina and Graeme could not do enough to ensure our stay was a good one. It was a bit cold for us to use the pool, but the garden was truly lovely. The gite is smack in the middle of Brittany and we took trips to Quimper, Rennes and the coast, all were an easy drive. Communication was excellent and we hope to visit again.

We can definitely recommend a holiday at Walnut Tree Gite. We had a fab time! Set in a peaceful village location in a beautiful area of Brittany with lots of interesting places to visit and close enough to the coast for day trips to the beaches. The weather was perfect, especially for mid-september, so we spent a lot of time each day around the lovely pool and the evenings dining alfresco in the very pretty garden. The gite was very comfortable and had everything you could need, plus a great welcome pack with homemade goodies. The owners Tina and Graeme have thought of everything to make their guests feel welcome.

Walnut Tree Gite is the perfect location for a quiet break in the unspoilt Bretton countryside. The Gite is in a very small and quiet village but close enough to Pontivy to explore and find all the things you'll need. The Gite itself is exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The beds are super comfortable and the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to think about their guests needs. The fabulous welcome pack means that if you haven't had chance to go shopping on the way, you won't go hungry for your first meal. The garden and pool are an added bonus and both are exceptionally well maintained. Finally, Tina and Graeme are the perfect hosts. They can't for enough for you and have clearly thought a lot about what their guests might need. Thoroughly recommended. We will be back!

We had a great holiday at the Walnut Tree Gîte! The property was really well equipped for all our needs, with everything you could need in the kitchen, comfortable furnishings throughout, good wifi, outdoor table tennis and a heated pool. Both the cottage and its grounds were immaculately maintained. Thanks to the owners’ Tina efforts and attention to detail, all our party had a restful and enjoyable stay. The gîte is in a peaceful village, with great local walks, and attractive towns, restaurants and markets nearby. There are a range of activities available in the wider area suitable for children and adults including historic buildings and castles, along with the prehistoric site at Carnac. Further afield we also particularly enjoyed cycling along the local river and canal and visiting some of the beautiful sandy beaches. We highly recommend a stay at this lovely house and we hope to return!

Tina et Graeme nous ont chaleureusement accueillis dans leur gîte, qui a été pensé pour le confort des locataires. L'endroit est très calme, apaisant, et le jardin est magnifique ! Plein de recoins différents sont aménagés pour profiter du soleil à toute heure de la journée, se poser avec un livre, ou profiter en famille. La maison possède également plusieurs espaces qui invitent au calme et à la détente. Sous le hangar, ils ont mis à disposition des jeux extérieurs (tennis de table, fléchettes, badminton, etc..). Nous avons même fait des matchs avec eux, pour le plus grand plaisir des enfants. La piscine dans le jardin, sécurisée par des barrières et une alarme, a ravi petits et grands. Tina et Graeme (et Poppy!) sont très agréables, très discrets, tout en restant disponibles. Vraiment, nous avons passé une semaine très reposante et chaleureuse. Les enfants ont hâte d'y retourner ! Nous recommandons vivement !

If you are looking for a gîte in Brittany then look no further than Walnut Tree Gîte. We stayed there for 2 weeks and were so sad we had to leave – we wanted to stay at least another week! The gîte is a real home away from home and has everything you could need. Tina and Graeme have thought of everything to make Walnut Tree Gîte friendly, homely and absolutely spotless! Each room has just what you need. A place often advertises towels and beach towels but the towels can be small and scratchy – we didn’t use our own towels as the Walnut Tree Gîte towels were lovely and fluffy. During the fortnight we had the duvet and towels changed and even extra toilet roll provided - we’re used to going and buying our own! The kitchen is equipped with everything you can think of. There is nothing you need that Tina and Graeme haven’t provided. The bedrooms are lovely and spacious – we had a choice of the master or the gorgeous mezzanine – both were bright and airy. Our son loved his room, it was just right for him. Outside, the gardens are lovely and have continual sunshine. We spent many hours in the pool – our son loved it and as someone who isn’t usually bothered about the pool, I spent a lot of time in it as it is big and warm! When we weren’t in the pool, we were relaxing in the loungers or chairs in peaceful surroundings. The garden is lovely and colourful. I spent hours out there reading. As hosts, Tina and Graeme are fantastic. They made us welcome the moment we arrived and nothing was too much trouble for them. The welcome goodies were well received – the homemade cake, jams and chutneys were delicious! Despite being next door, we felt as if we had the place to ourselves. We can’t not mention Poppy dog either. We had our daily cuddles with her – she is so gentle and our son loved playing with her most days and sneakily opening the gate so she could visit us when we were sat outside! Walnut Tree Gîte is well situated to get out and about and visit the area. We enjoyed visiting local towns, cities and walks. We will be returning to Walnut Tree Gîte in the future – the date is already in the diary! Thank you Tina and Graeme for making this one of our most enjoyable holidays to France. Despite the Covid-19 ‘cloud’ hanging over many things, we had one of the best holidays ever. You have a beautiful place and anyone who stays with you will want to return. We are missing you both, Poppy and the gîte.

We all had a wonderful time at Walnut Tree Gite. Tina and Graeme couldn’t be better hosts - totally respectful of our privacy but on hand throughout to make sure all goes smoothly. They really went above and beyond with thoughtful touches, including an epic welcome pack (including one for our dog), an emergency wine reserve and loads of kids toys and dvds/books. Our two boys (3&6) loved splashing around in the pool (it’s so hard to find smaller places with their own private pool) and we all loved the garden, but we spent a lot of time exploring the area. My husband raved about the cycling and although we were a bit worried about not being closer to the coast, nearby Lac de Guerlédan which has 2 sandy beaches ticked that box just fine. Our highlights include hiring bikes from Breton Bikes to pootle along the Nantes-Brest Canal (we had an amazing lunch at pop-up canal side cafe), the days we spent at the lake and our trip to nearby Saint Nicholas where we hired a pedalo.

Un air de Bretagne en Angleterre : Magnifique maison en été, nous reservons tjrs en gîte : Walnut Tree est le plus beau. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour. Le gîte se trouve dans le morbihan, profite largement du Gulf stream, la végétation est luxuriante, palmiers, essence de littoral Perché sur les hauteurs, entre fôrets et champs, le petit village breton se découvre, au calme. Départ de plein de randonnées, rencontrant ruisseau, centres équestres, panorama. Le gîte est une maison typique en granit, les extérieurs sont splendides, un grand jardin anglais fleuries, nombreuses espaces différentes, plein de recoins où se poser pour lire, se reposer ou se retrouver en famille entre amies autour de la grande piscine et pour un barbecue. Nous avons adoré l'accueil des propriétaires, nous n'avions rien à apporter. Quel confort de ne pas subir les corvées de courses dès l'arrivée. Nous avons reçu un panier avec vins, confitures, excellent cake citron-courgettes, etc. un kit d'arrivée pour un apéritif dînatoire, et un très bon déjeuner ( pain prêt à cuire, du lait , beurre, café thé...) Le gîte est charmant, les prestations sont haut de gamme, maison cosy avec votre piscine. Encore une fois tout est fourni , serviettes moelleuses de qualité , de même pour la literie et le linge de lit, produit ménager etc Tout est à disposition, jeux de société et d'extérieur, à l'ombre ou à l abri de la pluie vous pouvez jouer aux fléchettes, ping pong. Salle TV avec DVD, salle à manger, cuisine parfaitement équipée pour manger les produits locaux. 4 grandes chambres sous une belle charpente, 3 salles de bains. Pour les accros, un accès internet Wifi Quelle belle grande piscine, de beaux moments en famille ! Nous avions fait de ce gîte notre base de repli pour visiter le golf de morbihan. Pontivy est à côté, vous disposez de tous les commerces et services de grande ville selon vos besoins. Après de grandes balades d été, et du tumulte, nous pouvions nous revigorer autour de la piscine En période de Covid, c 'est l'idéal Nous avons passé 7 jours très agréables et c'était déjà la semaine dernière.

A very spacious and recently renovated gite located in a very quiet village. I was quite surprised how big the place was. Even the kitchen and gardens are are quite large. There is also 3 bath/shower rooms. It also has a certain mix of English and French charm (separate living room and dining room for example - surely rare for a gite). The hosts were very kind and helpful, we found some additional nice treats upon arrival. For visiting the south coast of Brittany, you are located about 1 hour from most of the main tourist places. For resting or visiting the mid/south of Brittany, this place was ideal.

''We had an incredible stay at the Walnut Tree Gite! The stone house is absolutely beautiful, very well decorated, surrounded by a wonderful garden with a nice swimming pool. We relaxed and chilled in front of the fireplace and enjoyed all the gite's facilities. Kersulan is a nice and quiet village, located in the most beautiful Brittany's landscapes. Tina and Graeme are thoughtful and lovely hosts. They gave us the best tips of walks, restaurants and places to see. They were always available when we need them. I heartly recommand this wonderful gite!
