The Morbihan region is a very varied department of France, offering prehistoric monuments, historical towns, beautiful estuaries and the River Blavet. It boasts beautiful sandy beaches and islands along the coast and around the Gulf of Morbihan, and as Brittany's most southern department offers the best summer holiday weather and sea temperatures.
Walnut Tree Gîte is situated in the sleepy village of Kersulan, surrounded by rolling woodlands, which offers so many walks and hikes (many maps are available for you to use), seeing nature at its very best, look out for the wild deer on the roads leading to the village.
We are located in an ideal central spot for sight seeing whether that is enjoying the river, lakes, historical towns or visiting the nearest beach, just 40 minutes away, or maybe take a day trip to one of the many Morbihan islands.
The nearest large town is Pontivy, just 10 minutes away offering a good choice of supermarkets and a local market on a monday. The nearest Boulangerie is 5 minutes in the car.

    Wat een ongelooflijk warm welkom kregen we van Tina en Graeme, van de “Walnut tree”! ❤️ De gîte is gezellig en van alle gemakken voorzien. De tuin is ruim en mooi aangelegd, met een heerlijk privézwembad. Er is altijd wel een plekje in de zon te vinden, waar je kan genieten van een goed glas wijn. Dat flesje wijn, staat als welkomstcadeautje al op je te wachten bij aankomst, ook kaas, brood, een homemade cake, verse bloemen uit de tuin etc… wat een verwennerij!
    De omgeving is prachtig. Er zijn vele mooie plaatsen te bezoeken en kastelen te bekijken. Soms is het een uurtje rijden, maar dit is het zeker waard. Een boottocht, of even heerlijk op een strandje genieten van de oceaan.
    Vele gasten hebben de “Walnut tree” met een 10 beoordeeld. Dit is zeker waar, mede door de ontzettend lieve eigenaars. 🥰

    We genoten van een fijn verblijf in deze mooie gite. We werden warm onthaald door Tina en Graeme, met een lekker huisgemaakt welkomstpakket. Het huis is, net zoals de tuin en het zwembad, kraaknet en goed onderhouden. De tuin heeft leuke hoekjes om even weg te zakken met een boek. Op regenachtige dagen konden we genieten van darts en tafeltennis onder het afdak. We maakten vaak gebruik van de infomap die naast info over uitstapjes ook aan te raden restaurants, stranden, winkels, ... bevat. Maar we konden ook altijd bij Tina en Graeme terecht bij vragen, even kloppen op de deur of een berichtje sturen. Voor een uitstapje dien je wel even te rijden maar in zo een mooie omgeving is dit helemaal niet erg. We verbleven hier 2 weken, na de eerste week werd het gras opnieuw afgereden, alle lakens ververst, kregen we nieuwe handdoeken en opnieuw huisgemaakt lekkers van Tina (scones met clotted cream, zo lekker).
    Kortom, een echte aanrader!

    We have just enjoyed a second visit to Walnut Tree Gite, the first being two years ago. Our stay was every bit as good as the first at this beautiful and peaceful gite. The gite is beautifully furnished, and full of character, with excellent quality bed linen, and very well equipped. Tina and Graeme are so good at the providing the extra touches, such as fresh eggs from their chickens, homemade chutney, cake and preserves, as well as wine, and other essentials.
    The garden is a delight, with it's gorgeous plants, and there are several areas to sit in the shade or sun. The pool is wonderful, it is heated, and totally private and secluded.
    Tina and Graeme are the perfect hosts, as they either leave you to be, or are available to have a chat or help with anything.
    Our dog has been twice now, and she was so excited to be back. She is safe and secure in the garden, and enjoyed the treats and welcome pack that was provided for her.
    I can't think of anything that would have improved our stay. 10/10
