Enjoy a bucolic setting (hike, ride, cycle) near medieval Vannes, a short hop from the sea – and lively conversation with friendly hosts

Read guest comments

Close to the walled town of Vannes and the Gulf of Morbihan, Jantine and Jacques’ house and 35 acres lie in undulating country where horses, goats and Highland cattle graze and clematis clambers. Light-filled bedrooms, the most comfortable on the first floor, are crisp and comfy.

An organic à la carte breakfast will set you up for the day: homemade jams, yogurts, eggs from the chickens, brioche vendéenne and Sunday cakes – ham, cheese and croissants too if requested. Have a nap in the enclosed gardens, sip an espresso in the tiny salon, enjoy the heated indoor pool.

There are shops and restaurants nearby – your hosts can recommend some serving local produce. Vannes is 10 minutes away and you’re perfectly placed to explore the Gulf of Morbihan’s many islands and coastal paths too. Head to the west side for Locmariaquer’s sandy beaches, Quiberon’s stunning coastline and pretty port Auray for culture and history. Across the gulf discover the impressive thirteenth-century Château de Suscinio – all about a 30-minute drive.

  • The estate is a little green valley, only a few minutes away from an old walled medieval city and the harbour on the gorgeous Golfe du Morbihan, regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
  • The Golfe du Morbihan, Little Sea in breton, is a unique place with numerous islands to discover by cruising - one of the musts of a stay in the region - or by foot thanks to the paths all around the Golfe.

"Jantine, Jacques, Holly the dog and zorro the cat were all very welcoming . Our room was very bright and sunny and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. In a great position to visit Vannes which is just a short drive away."

"A wonderful week with the warmest of hosts. Our family (grandma, grandad, uncle, mum, dad and two under 5s) couldn't have wished for more. Cöet Bihan is a genuinely beautiful setting and the standard of accommodation and service provided by Jacques and Jantine is second to none. It's not easy to please all ages, but they did so with ease And to top notch quality. Our 4 year old adored exploring the beautiful (& safe) garden - he was in his element all week. The local knowledge made our holiday even more special: Ile Aux Moines, Chateau Suscinio, Port Navalo & Rochefort-en-Terre. Un grand merci"

"Jantine and Jacques are marvellous hosts who will answer any questions regarding where to visit to give you the best experience of the locality. They couldn't be more helpful. The room was comfortable and it was wonderful to have access to the terrace with lovely views of the garden . Take time to enjoy the breakfast of delicious home-made creamy yoghurt with a wide variety of excellent jams also made by Jantine. You will leave feeling you have been staying with friends. "

"We were made so welcome after a long cycle ride here. A few refreshing beers with Jacques and then a great shower before a delicious supper in the garden. His omelette is apparently legendary and it was delicious. An early night and up again to cycle some more but not without a scrumy breakfast of fresh bread and home made jams. A delightful couple who made our stay so lovely. "

"Wonderful place, beautifully restored. Jantine and Jacques are excellent hosts: we should have stayed two nights just to follow up on some of our conversations (in perfect English) about French life and French business! "
