What guests say about our holiday cottages:

"We really enjoyed our stay at Ty Hir. And yes, everything was to our satisfaction. We were glad that we could use the travel cot and the high chair- so we did not had to take it with us.
Also the travel books and guest information were very helpful!

“Had the pleasure of staying at the Petit for the first week of Easter as a family with two young children and the place was perfect ...”  

“What more could you ask from a holiday in Brittany, largely empty roads, pretty countryside, plenty of wildlife, and a very comfortable Gite tucked away down a country lane in the heart of western brittany.”  

“We have rented many French Gites over the years, and Ty Hir ranks with the best of them. The place is well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of cooking pans and all the crockery you could want...”
