Thank you for a wonderful week. Ti Hanv is a real home from home and having the garden to sit in, in the sun, is a real bonus. We loved the village, so pretty, and driving around the country lanes and all the little villages was a real pleasure - no traffic, no litter & all so nicely kept. Thanks again,

We have enjoyed our stay in your lovely gite. We have been very relaxed and have enjoyed the town and it's friendly people. Sitting in the garden and the summer house in an evening has been so enjoyable. Thank you for letting us spend part of our holiday in France at Ti Hanv (Ty Haf in Welsh)

We really enjoyed staying in this ideal gite. It is so peaceful and relaxing to return to. I particularly liked sitting in various parts of the garden and spotting the various quirky birds! The surrounding area is also beautiful and the medieval towns so interesting. The food and wine have been superb. Thanks

Great weather, lots of walks and swims. Beautiful gardens.

Pontrieux is a little French treasure. Area every bit as lovely as the brochures promise.
Peter & Linda, Dorset. September 2010
Had a lovely week here in Pontrieux. Gite very well equipped, very peaceful yet so close to all amenities. Lots of places nearby to visit, shopping particularly good at Lannion. Would highly recommend the boat trips at night to see the Lavoirs lit up. Thanks for the use of your gite. Very professionally run.

A wonderful week with superb weather. Ti Hanv is a lovely haven to return to after a day exploring the area. The garden is delightful. We enjoyed visiting Roche Jago, Lannion Market (Thursday) and lots of beaches including Plage Bonaparte, Pors Hir, Brehec etc etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our week.

A memorable two weeks in this lovely gite. Pontrieux is one of the nicest and prettiest villages in Brittany. Many thanks Kay & Judith.
David, Carol and Avril, Scotland. July 2010
A return visit and every bit as good and enjoyable as our first last September. To celebrate a special occasion try lunch at La Ville Blanche near Lannion – superb! We hope to return yet again – still so much to see and do.
Maggi & Will, Tavistock, Devon. June 2010
A very relaxing and special week. So much to do and see. Such a beautiful setting + fabulous cottage. Many thanks Kay & Judith for organizing at such short notice! Hope to be back soon.
Ian and Anna, London. September 2009
Three short days, but a ‘real gem’! Cottage, town, countryside and coast all wonderful (& the weather!) Usually we never return to the same place for holidays, but this will be an exception and we hope to return in 2010. Everything so much nicer than the Loire Valley where we have just spent a week.
Maggi & Will, Devon, September 2009
What can we say? – simply excellent cottage, beautifully appointed. Great garden - spent many a happy (& sunny) hour relaxing in it. Visited lots of the little villages and beach resorts. Can recommend the market at Lannion and traiteur Portic for excellent croustade de coquille St Jacques. Also at Paimpol, L’Ecluse restaurant at the far end of the port. Brilliant for seafood, very good service. Our favourite beach resort was St Quay-Portriuex – several beaches to chose from, seawater swimming pool, nice walks along headland etc. One of our best ‘gite’ holidays – thanks to Kay and all the information supplied and effort that must have gone into that and making the cottage so stylish and with every comfort.
Sue & Michael, London September 2009
A lovely spacious house, very well equipped and arrangements were immaculate. Thank you Kay and Judith. You made it very special. Our favourite beaches were Le Yaudet in the Léguer peninsula and Bréhec with its little cafés (especially cidre at Le Petit Bar listening to Ray Charles & Jack Johnson). The pleasure of being here exceeded expectations: both the summer house for meals/wine and Pontrieux itself. We definitely want to return! A bientôt

A return visit. We were here at this time last year and my comments still hold true. Walking still excellent, re-did some walks from last year and found new stretches of the coast to walk. Still recommend the red topo guide to the Grande Randonnée. Cake shops in Pontrieux still far too good. Still a perfect place to stay.
Sue & Chris Norfolk July 2009
Many thanks for your hospitality both. What a lovely well equipped gite. We loved every minute of the time we spent here. The pretty villages and beautiful coastline have thrilled us – Plage de Bonaparte, also coast line beyond Lannion – oh so beautiful. We are impressed at how clean and well kept all the villages are, it’s a joy to see if all litter free. Many, many thanks.
Bob & Ruth, Cardiff July 2009
The best Gite we have ever stayed in, the village provides everything we needed, all in easy walking distance. We loved sitting out in the garden – reading, eating and drinking some wine. Beautiful area around – would like to be here far longer; and hope to return. We loved all the villages, so many flowers and so well looked after. Thank you for all the extra touches.
Barbara & John, Devon July 2009
Loved the cottage, loved Pontrieux, loved the area – local people very friendly. Both creperies very good and the Schooner Bar by the port for lunch. Days out to Port Blanc and Isle de Bréhat both excellent. Favourite moments – a glass of wine in the evening in the summer house.
Jane & David, Cambridgeshire June 2009
Thank you for a lovely stay. The cottage was perfect. We recommend dinner at the castle (Brelidy) and a trip to Carnach via the country roads over Mur Sur Bretagne and also the coast around Lannion - very beautiful.
Christine & Ronnie Belgium April 2009
Last minute holiday and enjoyed every minute of this gite. Beautiful area and enjoyed the food, wine and villages we explored.
Very friendly people and with the weather made this trip a rest we both needed.
Would recommend to our friends and thank you to Kay for all the information and making a last minute booking very enjoyable.
Heather and Robert Bournemouth September 2008
We enjoyed our holiday here a great deal. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, while the garden is an ideal place to relax in the sun. We were fortunate with the weather, which meant that many mornings were spent in the garden. We explored the various villages and sea sides, with Paimpol being our favourite.
Thanks to Kay and Judith for making the initial arrangements for us in such a professional way. It all worked out fine, thanks. We were impressed by the area and the accommodation and would certainly consider a return visit.
Noel and Dorothy, Edinburgh September 2008
We all had a wonderful time in Pontrieux. Although the weather was mixed we were able to get out and about a lot. Both Boulangeries in Pontrieux meant that we started the day with a delicious breakfast.
We visited Plage Bonaparte twice and enjoyed sun, sea and a lot of sand!!
On a very wet day we had a fantastic trip to Oceonopolis - there was so much to see.
The steam train from Paimpol was a lovely way to see the river.
The accommodation is outstanding and it was great to meet Kay and John who had brilliant recommendations for trips out. Judith organized things brilliantly. Our holiday was relaxing, enjoyable and we were very sad to go home.
Nicki, Alistair and Ethan September 2008
Fantastic !! Superbly appointed. Had wonderful relaxing holiday. John and Kay are a very charming couple and Judith helpful, friendly and very professional.
Highly recommended.
Barry & Jan Cardiff August 2008
Fantastic cottage, garden, cycling....EVERYTHING !!
Beware the kitten from over the road, a real time waster but loads of laughs.
Liz and Paul West Sussex August, 2008
We are glad to escape the terrible down pouring weather in the UK during this period. We normally have two cottage holidays per year. This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Kay sets a good standard and equips her cottage very well.
We spent most mornings watching Olympic games. We travelled to nearby beaches and towns in the afternoons. Pontrieux is located at a good position as a base to see beautiful coastal area and old towns. We enjoyed the day trip to the Ile de Brehat and cycled around the island. We also enjoyed picking mussels near Plage Bonaparte rocky beach. We have had a lot of fun here. GPS helps us find everywhere without any errors. It also reminds us to keep on the right side of roads. We will definitely come back to Brittany many times in the future.
Roy, Mei and Shide August, 2008
A week spent doing wonderful walks. Something different every day, beaches, cliffs, towns, wild bits and rivers. If interested would advise buying red topoguide to Cote de Granit Rose Tregor Morlaisen or the Petit Randonee version. Has all the maps and descriptions in it, based on the Grand Randonee round the coast and the one through Pontrieux. Hard to imagine a better place to stay. Enjoy and have fun!
Sue and Chris August 2008
Superb accommodation and excellent location. We loved the night boat trip and explored a few beaches. Plage des Moulins at Etables sur Mer was voted favourite. Seafront cafe owners delightfully eccentric and welcoming - don't miss! Weather perfect and sunlounger much appreciated by teenage daughter -just the right way to recover from GCSE's.
Amanda and Iona July 2008
Lovely cottage in a great little village. Very relaxing stay and a great base for exploring the area. Would recommend.
Ed, Anne + Aneke London July 2008
Had a great time on our first visit to Brittany. Acommodation was very comfortable. Enjoyed our visit to the Granite Coast, the Ile de Brehat, and our evening boat trip to see the lavoirs.
Lynn and Richard East Yorkshire June 08
A perfect end to our holiday in France. Everything we could have wished for. Beautiful cottage, garden and village. Great to be able to relax and forget about driving !!
Enjoyed the river walk with a picnic and fishing rod (No luck!) Took train to Paimpol and had a great day. Visited Chateau but most of all loved relaxing in the garden with a glass of ‘vin’ or strolling down to the quay for a bite to eat and a few beers. Thanks Judith for sorting out a sunbed for me!
Steve and Ann Bournmouth June 08
A lovely stay in Pontrieux… Comfortable gîte, garden is a real inspiration – beautiful... we would recommend this to anyone!
Claire, Matt & Tony Oct 06
The Gîte is lovely and we really savoured the perfume from the lavender and roses in the courtyard garden. Delightful.
Joy & Eric Sept 06
Un gîte par excellence e? Ideal location – especially for croissants for breakfast. Beautiful places to visit and the peaceful courtyard garden to return to in the evenings.
Sue & David Sept 06
A wonderful, comfortable place to spend our first week of retirement. Ti Hanv a delight. Pontrieux so pretty and lively and the general area full of super places to visit. Somewhere to return to and to explore in the future.
David & Rosemary Aug 06
If Carlsberg did gîtes ...
Bruce & Theresa Aug 06
Pontrieux is delightful and Ti Hanv the perfect place to stay. We have had a wonderful week exploring the area and we are already planning our return!

Ti Hanv is a little gem, so relaxing and very comfortable – the courtyard is a delight. We will be back!
