Reviews of Property: Summary of The hamlet of Le Gohic 15 Bedrooms, Sleeps 30

From the moment we arrived to a delicious meal prepared for us, to when we finally had to drag ourselves away, Sheila and Robin were the perfect hosts. This was our first holiday away with 2 young children (15 month old twins) and we couldn't have picked a better place. The facilities provided in our cottage (Le Puits) were first class, with the additional paraphenalia needed for the children (cots, stairgates etc) all provided and set up for our arrival. The information provided before we arrived, and during our stay was excellent. It couldn't have been easier.



The pretty cottage gardens and grounds are all very well kept, the pool immaculate and welcoming - unlike some places, there is no "artistic license" taken in the photos on the website! The trampoline was a particular hit with the kids, and the games room will, I'm sure, be excellent for future visits. As well as providing a safe and relaxing environment to stay, Le Gohic is also an excellent base for trips, with plenty of places to visit and things to do within an hour's drive. The animal park at Branfere was particularly good for children - definitely worth timing a visit to see the bird display.



Le Gohic is a peaceful, relaxing, child friendly retreat where it is possible to unwind and while away the time in the beautifully kept grounds or by the pool, but with plenty of things to do in the surrounding area to keep even the most active visitors occupied! Sheila and Robin give the warmest of welcomes, we will definitely be recommending the hamlet to friends and family, and look forward to returning ourselves before too long.

We rented out the whole of Le Gohic hamlet with 5 families, including 15 children aged 3-9 during late May - early June.

On arrival we were warmly greeted by the owners, Sheila and Robin, and shown to our individual cottages. Each cottage was well furnished & equipped, very attractive and immaculately clean.

The hamlet is set in beautiful lawns and gardens which are pleasure to explore. It is very peaceful with great views over the rolling countryside.

The children had a fantastic time. They could "disappear" into the garden whilst still remaining safe and close by. They had football, climbing, badminton, table tennis and even their "own" "kids only" house. This consisted of a downstairs filled with games, pool etc and a galleried upstairs with comfy seats for the kids to be together in. They loved it.

Then of course was the swimming pool. It was safe with a fence and gate. It was warm. It had lovely views again. It was also great for kids because whilst it was deep enough to jump in, it was OK for 7+ children to stand up. We spent many hours here with the kids enjoying "mini Olympics".

Each morning we booked for freshly baked pastries and bread to be delivered to the door (between 8-8,30am) - delicious. We also twice used the service of a local "chef" to provide cooked 3 course meals direct to Le Gohic (good value, outstanding gorgeous food).

Sheila and Robin were fantastic hosts. Any problems were dealt with rapidly and friendly. They are available to assist and guide but also give you all the space you need to enjoy your holiday. I actually accidentally left my golf club at a nearby golf course. Sheila and Robin phoned the golf club, drove 40Km to collect it and posted it back to the UK for me - wow - that was very kind.

Location wise it was a good base for exploring Brittany. We found a great beach with shade / rock pools, sand, and interesting battlements (Port Louis). Josselyn was a beautiful medieval town including stunning castle and church - well worth a visit. We enjoyed a long boat trip round the gulf of morbihan; stopping off at an island which was great to cycle around. Vannes was another beautiful town. As a family we had our first try at Camors Adventure Forest, zip wiring through trees 50+ ft up. Highly recommended.

Overall an excellent holiday. A big thankyou to Robin and Sheila. We hope to be back in 2011.

After seeing Brittany on the US travel channel, my son and I said, we'd love to go some day.

This trip was a gift from my husband and I, to our son for Christmas, who is 12, and an avid fisherman. Do to uncontrollable circumstances my husband was unable to join us. We took the train from Paris to Lorient, really beautiful, also stops in Auray. Lorient train station has taxi's and car rental.

Sheila & Robin went above and beyond for my son and I, under our circumstances. We really appreciate all their help. And all their hard work to find a place for my son to fish, off the Blavit river and local pound. The wonderful dinner waiting for us was most delicious. I highly recommend. I cannot say enough about Le Gohic, and the beautiful cottage, Maison Principal. It was immaculate. Just bring food and clothes, because everything you need is already there. Truly more than we wished for.

Taylor really had a good time, even though not catching fish, and Dad not there. We felt so lucky to have fished in such a beautiful, peaceful place. Bike rides are a must, just watch the killer hills, unless in really good shape. What an adventure my son and I had, we really laugh now about it. We felt so safe anywhere we were at on our own. The small towns along the Blavit are just beautiful. We went to market in Auray. It was great shopping for sea food, vegetables, and even clothing. I found rain boots for my son. There is so much to do at Le Gohic itself, and the local area.

Sheila & Robin run a really wonderful place, and with such ease. Le Gohic is a place that makes you want to come back again and again. We truly hope to, with the whole family. We know there is so much more to see and do in Brittany.

Sincerely, Martha & Taylor, and Michael too

From our point of view, if a self-catering holiday cottage and it's location isn't more wonderful than our own home, we would rather not go on holiday. So, when searching for a 5 star, dog friendly property (with the "wow" factor) in Brittany that would meet our rather high expections, we didn't hold out too much hope - until we stumbled across the website for Le Gohic. It ticked more than all the boxes so we booked immediately and we were delighted when, upon arrival, it more than lived up to it's promises and pictures. It is almost fairytale like and our cottage, Maison Principal, provided everything we could possibly want, and more. Particularly helpful was the pre-trip email information our hosts Sheila & Robin provided as, having not driven through Brittany before, let alone with 2 young dogs, that was one less worry. We especially appreciated our breakfast bag full of croissants and bread hung on the door each morning and the huge granite fireplace which was used every evening just so we could sit and gaze at it! Le Gohic is self-catering at its very best and we would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone wishing for a retreat in this stunning rural part of Brittany.

As a large family group, we recommend this perfect holiday destination with absolute pleasure. The surroundings were idyllic, the accommodation superb - immaculately clean and very well equipped. The glorious sunshine was an added bonus. We enjoyed the hours spent in and around the swimming pool, and all, especially the children, loved all the indoor and outdoor games and play equipment so thoughtfully provided in such a safe environment. The party was a great success. The hosts (an English couple who live on site) were endlessly helpful with all our queries. The whole week was a wonderful experience and we have no hesitation in recommending Le Gohic to others.

I visited Le Gohic and stayed in Le Cidre with my husband and 2 children. It was a beautiful setting, the cottages couldnt be faulted and were extremely clean and well equipped, The grounds were absolutely beautiful with loads to do for all ages, swimming pool, table football, table tennis, boules. Our children absolutely loved the freedom of being able to run around in complete safety playing on the swings, in the vast gardens and with the other children staying there.
The owners of the hamlet are on site and provide a great service, offering help planning days out if required (they booked us onto a great pony trek), delivering milk and croissants every morning and generally making sure you are enjoying your stay.
I would highly recommend this as a holiday destination and will be looking forward to going back again soon.

We rented the whole hamlet and it was perfect in every way, so beautiful, peaceful and magical. Robin and Sheila were such wonderful hosts from delivering fresh baquettes and croissants to our cottages each moring, to being on hand to help book golf, restaurants, and many other activities. The cottages were spotless and the surrounding gardens were so safe for the children to run and explore. The area is situated very well for Vannes, Lorient, Auray and many other lovely towns. Don't go for a week it will never be long enough. Looking forward to returning soon.

Even better the second time around, we discovered Le Gohic in september 2007,stayed again in May 2008, the accomodation is great,it really is much,much better than most short stay holiday lets. We are lucky enough to be able to holiday about 6/8 times a year [we are both now retired] all over europe and the united states and we are pretty picky about the standard of accomodation ,cleanliness etc, we would rate this one as one of the very best,if not the best overall, the setting is beautiful and the owners are lovely people, really friendly,well organised and professional and very knowlegable about the area ,nothing is too much trouble for them. We look forward to returning with our grandchild in the autumn. A great place for chidren very safe and well catered for.We cannot recommend Le Gohic highly enough.
