Nous tenons à remercier Teresa et Ian pour leur généreuse hospitalité très. La Glycine est un gîte de charme avec toutes les commodités que nous puissions espérer et d'une vue étonnante sur le jardin et cela rendait nos deux semaines de vacances les plus agréables.
C'était nos premières vacances avec nos 19 fille mois et Teresa sortit de sa façon d'offrir des jouets à la fois intérieure et extérieure pour Ophélie pour jouer avec, qui l'a tenue et nous sommes très heureux.
Nous avons réussi à voir Nantes et l'éléphant mécanique incroyable, les villes historiques de Châteaubriant, Rennes et Vannes, à l'architecture très intéressantes qu'ils avaient à offrir. Nous avons également eu à se détendre sur les plages du lac de Plessé et Fégréac et visiter les plages du littoral de Saint-Marc et de La Baule, Plus consultez nombreux autres endroits dont un bon nombre de marchés.
Alors merci à Thérèse et Ian pour la fabrication de nos vacances une expérience aussi inoubliable et nous espérons revenir bientôt.

Notre première fois dans un gite et n'avons-nous pas chercher bien! Ma femme et moi sommes restés à La Glycine, qui avait tout ce dont vous aviez besoin et plus encore. Dans de beaux jardins, Les gîtes sont dans une situation calme mais à proximité du village et à proximité des grandes villes dans la région.
Tout comme importante et non moins impressionnant a été l'accueil chaleureux que nous avons reçue de Teresa. Elle nous a également aidé avec les visites et fourni toutes les connaissances locales dont nous avions besoin. Je n'ai pas mentionné la “Main Man” Ian qu'il n'était pas de jouer au golf en Angleterre, la plupart de la semaine, mais il était là avec Teresa de nous donner un cadre chaleureux expédier. Comme vous pouvez le deviner, Je vous recommande fortement va payer Teresa et Ian, une visite. Vous ne serez pas déçus.
Un grand merci à vous deux pour la fabrication de nos vacances si mémorable et nous espérons vous voir à nouveau.
Sincères salutations,

Que peut-on dire au sujet de la retraite qui a été un home-away-from-home 3 mois? Nous avons appris à aimer cet endroit et avoir un magasin de souvenirs pour durer le reste de nos vies. Nous sommes venus ici en vue de vivre parmi le peuple français et à cette fin, nous avons à dire que, si nous ne comprenons pas la manière française »de la vie» encore et toujours avoir un peu frustré par les heures de négoce impair, Nous avons constaté que beaucoup de Français ont bon cœur.
Le chalet nous a fourni tout ce dont nous pourrions avoir besoin. Il a été un refuge où nous avons parcouru trop loin, un endroit pour récupérer. Nous avons été en mesure de divertir nos enfants et petits-enfants dans un havre de paix et reposant. Chacun d'eux a besoin du pouvoir de récupération de cet environnement peacful au ministre à leur corps et des âmes.
Ian et Teresa ont fourni tout le confort nécessaire et nous avons le chalet a tissé sa magie sur nous tous. La faune abonde avec des vaches, hérissons, écureuils et de nombreux oiseaux de nous tenir bien diverti. Le jardin nous a fourni de nombreuses heures de jouissance paisible. Notre petite-fille aimée cueillait des fleurs dans son panier spécial, puis les mettre dans un vase pour notre plaisir. Elle aimait sa chambre à l'étage avec toutes les fées assise sur son rebord de la fenêtre chaque nuit; nous ne les voyons pas, mais elle nous a assuré qu'il n'y avait 10 -12 chaque soir - pourquoi devrions-nous douter?
Nous espérons seulement que d'autres familles obtenir autant de plaisir de 'Coeur de Chêne comme nous l'avons. Nous nous sentons un peu égoïste que nous avons pu profiter pendant si longtemps.

Marg et moi et nos amis et Wendy Grant dans La Glycine dormi pendant une semaine en Mai 2009.We didn,t quite know what to expect as we had never stayed in a Gite on our regular trips to France.The Gites of Terese and Ian were so much more than we ever expected.It was the highlite of our eight week trip to europe.Our hosts could not do enough for us and the Gite was so well equiped.The location was ideal for us as everything we wanted to see and do was in easy reach for day trips.We will all certainly return again and wish Terese and Ian every success with the Gites.

Our second visit to Les Quatre Cles was as delightful as the first. Nous sommes restés dans le récemment rénové Le Camelia qui était belle et avait tout le charme bucolique de La Glycine que nous sommes restés l'année dernière.
Nos deux ans, ancien juste aimé le gite et le jardin. Teresa et Ian sont sortis de leur manière de la faire très spécial pour elle avec beaucoup d'équipements de plein air et une boîte pleine de jouets d'âge concernées à l'intérieur.
Nous avons visité le faut voir les petites villes pittoresques de Rochefort en Terre, Josselin et Malestroit et aussi beaucoup apprécié le marché à Vannes. Un voyage à La Boule fourni plages idylliques et une variété d'excellent restaurant pour déjeuner dans. A partir de La Boule, il est certainement en valeur lors d'un voyage sur la route à Le Croisic, un petit port avec quelques jolies rues de galets.
Les Quatre Clès, Guémené Penfao est un coin charmant de la France et vaut vraiment le détour. Pour nous, c'est un bel endroit avec de beaux souvenirs.
Teresa & Ian – Que pouvons-nous dire, mais ‘Fantastique '. Un bel espace, un ‘home from home '. Le cadre est magnifique et le fleuve et la pêche ont été super. Nous avons également apprécié avoir un championnat de tennis de table tous les soirs. La faune a été une joie de voir, martins-pêcheurs et de nombreux serpents dans la rivière, ragondin et de nombreuses chenilles varié qui tenaient les enfants s'amuser. Nous avons également apprécié la ‘BAT marche’ le long de la ruelle et de la grange. Vous croyez vraiment de tout ce que nous avons besoin qui a fait la fête. Bons souvenirs et des photos sur un retour sur et nous vous reverrons l'année prochaine.

Merci beaucoup. Nous avons eu une semaine magnifique avec le soleil! Nous avons aimé le foot et la boxe et le cyclisme à la boulangerie. Je vous remercie pour le prêt de vélos et la belle maison. Nous recommandons fortement l'canoë sur la rivière Don. Les machines de Ille at Nantes was impressive for the children and La baule beach was long and sandy. Nous souhaitons nous avions eu le temps de faire un peu de marche à pied trop poney.
Merci encore pour une semaine brillante et très sympathique accueil – Ian.

Thank you so much Teresa & Ian for helping to make this such a wonderful holiday. The very minute I first walked through the front door I knew we had come upon a most beautiful & relaxing place. Merci pour votre hospitalité, helpfulness & great information. We found the gite most comfortable and found no difficulty in making it our home for the week. Simon our three year old, in spite of being unwell for a few days, had a great time exploring your beautiful garden and playing with all the toys both inside and out. This is a great base for exploring the many beautiful local places, and even if we had never gone anywhere, it was just heaven to spend time around here. The cool evenings in particular were lovely for sitting outside with the vin rouge & simply listening to the birds and crickets and enjoying the delicious perfume of the honeysuckle (chevrefeuille) wafting past us.
The gite had everything we could possibly need and we knew that should we need anything else, it was only a matter of calling on either Teresa or Ian. The beds and linen were very comfortable, something which can sometimes be hard to find. I imagine no matter what time of year one might stay here – summer or winter, a wonderful time would be had.
So thanks once more to you both, we most definitely will be back. It was the first thing we both said the minute we got here. We wish you well with happiness and good health always to enjoy the place you must happily & proudly call home.

Many thanks for a lovely relaxing week at Le chevrefeuille. The gite was ideal and all the carefully thought-out-extras made all the difference. A lovely warm welcome and plenty of local knowledge and tips for places to see and treats to enjoy.
A beautiful, quiet and relaxing corner of old Brittany – perfect for some serious chilling out. Wishing Les Quatre Cles continued success, very best wishes, Dave & Rosy

Teresa and I have been friends for more than thirty years but we hadn’t seen each other since she’d moved to France, so I thought it was about time we got together again! We had a lovely week at Coeur de Chene, which we thought was well equipped, comfortable and met all our needs as a family of four, including two teenagers, who made particular use of the television! We loved lounging in the garden, barbecuing with a glass of wine in one hand and a good book in the other, watching the birds or just soaking up the sun. We made several trips further afield to Vitre, Vannes and even just beyond Tours to visit a couple of chateaux and found pleasant, good value restaurants in most places although one has to bear in mind that lunch in France is served strictly between twelve noon and two p.m., which is a bit restricting. Never the less, we had a great time and are sure that many visitors to the cottage in future will too.
Fantasic all round! Lovely location, all the family have had a great time. Thank you for your service and hospitality.

We write this at the end of a really delightful holiday. Everyone enjoyed their holiday including ‘Sophie’ the canine member of our group. The gite was wonderful and everything was so well prepared and thought out to ensure a relaxing stay in a superb location. Nothing was too much trouble for Teresa & Ian, their hospitality really helped to make our holiday enjoyable. We are really thankful for all their kindness during out stay. I am sure we will return soon.

We anticipated it was going to be a great holiday, but we didn’t realise it was going to be this brilliant! The weather was beautiful, the gite spectacular and the jams and chutneys simply magnifique! Our highlights were the medeaval festical in Dinan, the outdoor pool at Plessé, the market and shopping in Redon and your personal favourite Teresa, the elephant at Nantes! We have greatly enjoyed our fortnight, very much hope to come back again and wish you all the success in the future – you deserve it. Meilleurs voeux,
Helen, Andrew, Jess & Morwenna
Thanks a lot for this wonderful holiday week. What a great gite! A part of England in part of ‘grande Bretagne’ in the small French one. It was amazing! We appreciate your kindly attention and as there is so much to see, we have to come back for a longer time.
Et puis comme nous sommes francais, je me dois de souligner l’effort, l’acceil et le partage que vous nous avez offert bien que votre cliente traverse plus seuvent la manche que nous. Lille vous remercie, Laura, Cathy et Romain
7 – 14 Août 2010
Thank you for creating a very welcoming gite, very comfortable and lacking nothing. The home grown tomatoes were very good too – better that mine growing (or not) in England. It’s a shame the sun didn’t shine all the time, but we still enjoyed ourselves. Best recommendation is the new ‘Terra Botanica’ near Angers – great for all ages. Best wishes from a fellow quilter – Steve, Daphne & Chris
14 à 21 Août 2010
Thanks very much for all you have done for us, which includes keeping Freya in toys etc. Weather was good and we enjoyed canoeing and horse riding near Plessé in the Forest du Gavre was excellent. We met some lovely families whilst we were here and Teresa & Ian were so friendly and helpful. The gite was so pretty and well kitted out. You’ve done a fine job and we’ll recommend you to friends etc. Meilleurs voeux

We loved the gite very much with all its attention to detail. It was very homely and we loved coming back in the evenings – especially the garden.
We would definately recommend this gite to family and friends, its great for families and also opportunities to meet other families. Merci beaucoup – your jam is devine.
Michael, Jayne, Emilie (I enjoyed playing in the garden and loved my stay in France) & Chloe (I loved staying in this gite, it was clean and cosy. It was a pleasure to meet new people from another country – that was fun, Thanks)
I would like to say that I had one of the nicest holiday, thanks to the wonderful hospitality of Ian and Teresa. They made our stay at Guémémé-Penfao and surrounding areas extremely pleasent, they were very helpful in every respect and they made us feel as one of the family. It was like going home for your holidays. The gites were comfortable, clean and well equiped. Nothing was lacking. Teresa and Ian were two very warm nd friendly people with whom I would enjoy spending another summer. Thank you for making my summer very special. Best wishes Donna and family.
Me gustaría decir muchísimas gracias. He tenido uno de los mejores cumpleaños en mis 12 años de vida gracias a Teresa y sus huéspedes. Besos. Shannon:)
14.8 – 28.8.2010
This was our first stay in France and it have been our best holidays so far! First impression counts – we saw the flowers, the garden and the typical brittany house, and then Teresa and Ian, and we were sure we would enjoy our time here – and so it was
It’s the frequent possibilities of leisure activities why I recommend this region for holidays.
And it’s the kindness of the people, and their neverending will to help why I can especially recommend Teresa and Ian’s gites.
Merci beaucoup … und vielen Dank für alles

Just wanted to say thanks for yet another great stay at La Glycine. As usual the gite was perfect, the Christmas weather was far better than the UK and we had a wonderful time.
Thank you and we will be back as soon as possible!!

We stayed here a few months ago and had a wonderful time. This is exactly how you want an accommodation to be. Excellent service!

“We have had a wonderful stay and seen many amazing things. Favourites include the Grand Elephant and the machines and we plan to return when the 3 tier carousel and Heron tree are completed. Coming from Australia, we are in awe of all the history and beautiful buildings. Puy du Fou was another amazing place with spectacular shows – take the 2 day pass if you can. Thanks to Teresa and Ian, friendly knowledgeable hosts and lovely accommodation.”

“We have had a very pleasant stay, the location is ideal as there are many varied places and activities within one hours drive. Our gite, La Glycine, we found very comfortable, fully equipped, lacking nothing and with some pleasant details like an interesting photo album of the original conversion, well done Ian & Teresa – all done in about one year, impressed…. With a southerly aspect, the patio was great and amongst many features in the garden is a challenging pentanque terrain.
Many thanks

This is our 5th gite holiday and not only is it the best equipped gite (so much is provided from DVDs to kitchenfoil) but it’s the most comfy bed we’ve had! The area is fantastic for cycling, we brought our own bikes and have had a great time cycling on quiet roads with not many hills!
Thank you”

“We came because Fiona, our daughter, has spoken about the wonderful time she spent here with Steve, back in 2005. Needless to say, we were not disappointed – on the contrary, we have been absolutely delighted! The accommodation is excellent, providing all home comforts in an idyllic rural setting. The location is perfect, providing a wonderful range of easy destinations to visit & enjoy. In addition, Guemene provides convenient shopping outlets for food etc. Thank you Teresa & Ian, for a most enjoyable and tranquil stay in La glycine. ‘Labour of Love’ is so appropriate – the gites are a credit to you both

“We’ve had a lovely relaxing week… thank you! It has been such a homely place to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Chloe’s 7th birthday. Thank you for saving the day with birthday candles! The children have loved playing in the garden and the house. We’ll never forget Toby’s face when he saw a real combine harvester in the field at the back of your garden … a real treat! The swimming lake at Plessé has been great on hot days. Thank you for the use of the bikes to get croissants in the morning. It’s been a great opportunity to stay in your lovely gites!

This year (the first two weeks in August 2011) was a return to Teresa’s hospitality in Guemene-Penfao. There were a number of places we wanted to revisit as well as explore new ones. The Gite itself was, as before, homely and well equipped, in a lovely location. Brittany’s weather was kind to us as well which helped make this another memorable holiday. Our thanks go to Teresa and Ian and we wish them all the very best.

Would like to thank Ian & Teresa for sharing their Gites with us. Our two weeks went far to quickly!
Wanted for nothing in the Gite, and the garden/play area was fantastic. The play house was beautiful and with-stood our two children’s antics in it!! The beaches at Pornichet and La Boule were lovely and clean with great water sports. The kayak trip down “Le Don” was a brilliant end to our holiday.
Would recommend La Glycine for a relaxing, peaceful (even with children)! holiday.
Samantha & Clive.
A huge thankyou to Ian & Teresa for a fantastic weeks stay in Coeur de Chene. A great base for exploring a beautiful untouched region of France but still plenty to do with young children. We enjoyed beautiful weather and found lots of lovely places for cycling, swimming, shopping and of course enjoying amazing french cuisine! A real home from home experience, didn’t want for anything and would highly recommend you to friends and family.
Many thanks Julie, Phil & James
13 – 27 Août 2011
We recently spent two enjoyable weeks in Le Camelia. The gite has been restored to a high standard and was well equipped with little touches that made it feel like a real home from home.
Ian and Teresa provided valuable information regarding places to visit and special events that can only be gained by living locally. We particularly enjoyed the medieval festival at Malestroit.
We wish that we could bottle the relaxed feeling that we quickly gained on this holiday. L'Espace, the gite and Ian and Teresa provide everything you could need for a perfect holiday. We will definitely recommend you to friends and family.
Many thanks
