Clistivan is a breton longere (stone longhouse) beautifully converted to the highest specifications. We offer 2 comfortable and spacious beamed gites with a fenced garden, baby equipment, TV and DVD, washing machine, microwave, dish-washer, hairdryer, books and games.

Lyndsey and Andrew provide a warm welcome and are on hand to offer advice or sort out little problems. They have lived in Brittany for 6 years with their son Charlie, aged 12, and can answer many of your queries about the local area.

Clistivan is in a very tranquil setting, surrounded by fields, but only 10 minutes walk from the village of La Chapelle Neuve with its shop, bar, etc. There are lovely walks and cycle rides starting from the country lane beside the gite, and rabbits, lizards, butterflies and birds all around.

Gite 'Chêne'. On the right in the photo. A quaint old cottage, fully modernised, with spacious accommodation but retaining its cosy charm.

Gite 'Hêtre'. On the left. Again, beautifully modernised with groundfloor on one level and extensive views from the living room.

Please click on cottage to view internal photos. Sorry, no pets allowed. No smoking please. Both cottages are safe, clean, with modern facilities, and very welcoming to young children.

The property is placed on the brow of a hill, with beautiful panoramic views. You can admire the magnificent sunsets while having bar-be-ques during the long evenings (an extra hour of sunlight compared to GMT).

It is a 5 minute drive from the local market town Baud where there are a good range of shops, supermarkets, a swimming pool, cinema, and restaurants. You can still eat a three-course meal for less than 10 euros including drinks! Try the Breton specialities of crepes and cider, or the marvellous seafood.

Clistivan is situated 25 minutes north of the coastal city of Vannes, and 1 ¾ hours from the port of St. Malo (Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth). There is easy access to medieval cities, megaliths dating from 3000 BC, and of course the beautiful sandy beaches of the Morbihan coast, thanks to uncrowded dual carriageways.
