With all the advantages of the beautiful Breton countryside and within easy reach (35 to 45 minutes) of the many wonderful sandy beaches of Southern Brittany or the stunning lakes of inland Brittany. From the hamlet of Le Crann (meaning “crown” of a hill) it is an easy 1 km walk (or bike ride) to the small village of St Yves Bubry, with its traditional French bar and small shop for those small essential groceries. The church of St Yves Bubry, completed in 1589, is noteworthy for its blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. St Yves has its own delightful and relaxing restaurant down by the old mill with its tranquil lake and water-wheel, perfect for relaxing and unwinding at the end of a day or after a long drive.
For a wider choice of shops, restaurants, petrol stations and groceries, there is the charming village of Bubry (10 minutes away) with its beautiful summer floral displays, the delightful market town of Baud (20 minutes away), Napoleonic Pontivy (25 to 30 minutes away) and Lanaster & Lorient (30 minutes).
Le Crann is situated in the commune of Quistinic, which is host to the 16th century village of Poul Fetan, immaculately restored to show life at that time. In high season you can dine at the village auberge and afterwards see demonstrations of everyday life from this period. For those intrepid walkers, there is approximately a 5 km walk to the village from Le Crann. The commune of Quistinic and the Blavet Valley are a paradise for walkers and cyclists alike. The owners have details of many published walks, cycle routes and riding trails for those who are keen to explore. If you want to step further back in time, outside the village of Melrand (15 minutes away)is the Village de l’An Mil, a 1000 year old reconstructed medieval village.
Or spend an afternoon walking or cycling along the River Blavet (5 minutes away), with a leisurely stop at the various bars, cafes and restaurants along the way. Or spend a moment to watch the boats come through the lock and the cyclists ride by.
Close by there are many historic towns and castles to visit including Hennebont, Auray, Pontivy, Vannes and Josselin.
The Bretons pride themselves on their warm welcome and hold many local festivals at which you will be joyfully included. There is hardly a week that goes by without some festival in the region. Lorient, just 30 minutes away, hosts the delightful 10 day InterCeltique music festival around the buzzing yacht harbour. Every year, both Josselin and Hennebont hold an annual medieval festival. Many local and international regattas take place at the yachting haven of Trinite sur Mer.
Local markets abound almost every day of the week where there is an ample local produce to sample. France is not France without a local “brocante” – if you wish to hunt down that French antique bargain, contact the owners for information on where you can find the latest bric-a-brac fair or market.
Morbihan is renowned for its megalithic stones with so many special places to visit; Carnac with its 3000 standing stones a must see, but also those at Locmariquer, Petit Mont or even catch a boat to the island of Gavrinis.
And if that’s not enough, the region has plenty of museums, zoos, and parks. Art lovers can follow the “Art in the Chapel” exhibitions throughout the summer for a tour of the Blavet River chapels.
For a lazy day, take a cruise down the River Blavet, or further afield there are many boat trips to the off shore islands and around the beautiful inland sea of the Gulf du Morbihan, where you can stop off on some of the larger islands for lunch, a walk and even a cycle.

The Cottages:
Wisteria Cottage has walking & riding routes leading directly into the surrounding countryside. A short walk to the ancient fountain at the bottom of the valley takes you by the old bread oven and well for the hamlet of Le Crann.
Each cottage has a charming oak-beamed lounge with large splendid granite fireplace and wood burning stove. They are spacious, comfortable and well furnished.
The expansive grounds include a childrens’ climbing frame with swings, basket ball hoop and a slide. A badminton / volleyball net and mini football net with other play equipment is provided in the summer months – perfect for any excess energy from the children (or adults)!
The pools are securely fenced and gated and for additional peace of mind the pools are also padlocked, with an access key provided to a responsible adult in the party. The heated pools enjoy full sun from early morning to late evening and are open from May Bank Holiday weekend to September, with plenty of sun-loungers to enjoy the day’s sun.
The owners are continually upgrading and developing Le Crann. New for this year is the refurbished pool area with new decking and security fencing, internet access and a new grassed amphitheatre with panoramic views over the gardens; ideal to watch the children play or relax for sundowners!
You could not choose a more relaxing location than Le Crann for your holiday home. The cottages are situated in a small hamlet in the stunning Blavet Valley countryside but are within easy reach (35 to 45 minutes) of the many wonderful sandy beaches, places of interest, activities and events and the ancient medieval towns of Southern Brittany. So whether you just want to totally relax, play or explore, the choice is yours.
Le Crann is also perfect for larger groups with total sleeping places for up to 18 people – ideal for that special event, golfing party or family and friends get-together for Easter, Christmas or the New Year.
Golfing: There are four of Formule Golf’s courses (St. Laurent, Ploemeur, Lorient, Baden) within one hours drive as well as one 9 hole golf course at Rimaison just 20 minutes away and many others just slightly further afield. We will be pleased to assist in booking tee times.
Beaches: Whatever your type of beach there is a stunning choice of sandy beaches within 35 to 45 minutes, from golden sandy beaches, wild stunning stretches or sandy coves with rock pools, with a range of activities from swimming, sand-yachting, windsurfing, kite-surfing, sailing, surfing, kayaking.
Walking and Cycling: Walking routes lead directly from the cottages and for those intrepid walkers, there is approximately a 5 km walk to Poul Fetan, the delightfully recreated 16th century village and then a short walk down to the River Blavet . The commune of Quistinic and the Blavet Valley is a walkers paradise and the owner has details of many published walks, cycle routes and riding trails for those who are keen.
Fishing: Brittany has some of the best fishing rivers in France, as well as something like a third of France’s coastline, giving a great variety for keen anglers. Fishing permits can be purchased for a day, two week or annual period, and will cover fishing in the whole department of Morbihan, or for an additional fee you can purchase a permit to cover all of Brittany.

What a fantastic place, 4 of us stayed in October and we had great weather due to the area having its own micro climate, we even got a tan. The setting for this large cottage is perfect, the gardens were spacious with heated pools. The property was very clean, well maintained and the kitchen was like a home from home it was so well equipped. We took lovely walks around the hamlet and we found so much of interest to see in and around the area, thanks to the help of the owners Sue and Steve. They were so interested in what we liked and their knowledgable of the area ensured we had a great time. We asked for their recommendations for eating out and all of the choices were excellant - great Creperies. We will certainly be returning.
2008 September Wisteria Cottage Review
2008 Lodgers Reading, UK.
Date Submitted: January 22, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
Thank you so much for our wonderful stay at your 'restful rural retreat'. Wisteria Cottage really was a 'home from home' for both families and we couldn't have asked for anything else (very clean, extremely well maintained gardens and acres of lawns with two heated swimming pools and we eat out each night using the BBQ). Your daily suggestions for days out were so incredibly helpful and came up trumps each time - local knowledge made our holiday very easy and carefree. The cottage had all the amenities that any family could wish for dishwasher, showers, washing machines, - superb. We will be coming back to see you soon and have recommended you to other friends and families. Once again, first class, thank you.
