Christmas '10 - Nous venons de passer une semaine inoubliable dans la" maison de l'Estuaire".
Comme je l'ai dit à vôtre maman, c'est la première fois qu'en location, j'ai vraiment l'impression d'être chez moi, c'est à dire qu'il ne manquait rien absolument rien dans aucune pièce. Famille Briolay - (France) Translation: We've just spent an unforgettable week in Estuary House. It really felt like I was at home, that is to say that there was nothing that I missed in any of the rooms.

October '10 - The kitchen is the best equipped of any place we've stayed. Le Faou is so well located. How about a trade of homes, we're all in Vancouver..... Green-Newlight family (Canada)

September '10 - House more than we could have believed from the photos. Lovely beaches. Lots of wildlife watching - gulls, herons, rabbits, fish, crabs, birds of prey. Moon watching, cow watching, people watching. A great holiday - the weeks sped by. Munns family - (Salisbury)

August '10 - The pool was a big hit with everyone at all hours even our Nan who is 82! Star spotting was amazing - we made good use of the hammock. Vercesi family (Cornwall)

July '10 - We've all had a really fantastic time doing a mixture of relaxing & not so relaxing activities! The pool is superb. We got to use it every day and a good size to swim in & not just get wet. Great restaurant in the village (Les Halles) and nice bar with TV where we watched the World Cup Final. Phythian family (Cheshire)

We enjoyed very much the local community, the swimming pool was a delight and the river view was ever stunning. Thank "U" . The Magnificent "Ocean 11"

The house is wonderful and the location is superb. We just loved spending time on the decks looking at the ever-changing views of the estuary. The locals were all very friendly and helpful too. We thought your folders were great - such a lot of work - thanks. The market at Daoulas was amazing - such a variety of delicious food, clothing, jewellery, plants etc. However the highlight was probably 'le cochon grillé' on Friday - when we joined in with all the locals at tables in the square and ate roast pig, veges, bread and tarte aux pommes with Breton beer and danced to a local band! Torkington family (NZ)

We have enjoyed our stay in this delightful house, very well equipped, everyone had great fun in the pool.

June '10 - A lovely stay. Fantastic weather, great BBQs, lovely beaches and towns, fabulous seafood. Thank you for a great holiday. Andrews family

You have a wonderful house in a glorious setting. The house was very comfortable, thank you and very well stocked too. The week went far too quickly, of course; a brilliant time was had by all, especially by our grand-daughter (17months) who is a 'water baby' and didn't want to get out of the pool! The weather was fantastic and, dare I say it, even a little too hot ( mid 30's), so we stayed close to the pool to keep cool

May '10 - A lovely stay. Fantastic weather, great BBQs, lovely beaches & towns, fabulous seafood. We loved the large garden & pool - and the nosy, inquisitive cows! Thank you for a lovely holiday. Andrews family

September 09 - Thank you for accommodating us in your super house for the past 2 weeks. We have had a truly restful break.
At 8 months pregnant, this was just what the Doctor ordered. Running around after a 14 month old is never easy but to be able to sit back and watch my husband finally unwind and relax after a demanding year’s work and thoroughly enjoy his ‘baby’ boy before number 2 is well and truly on the scene was simply magical.
They loved splashing about in the pool - something we don’t get the chance to do at home because of the high levels of chlorine in most public swimming pools which aggravates his eczema. I on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed lounging on the huge sofas and relaxing in the jacuzzi bath.
You have thought of everything and anyone who stays here couldn’t want for more. Smith family

August 09 - Once again we spent an enjoyable time in your house, revisiting some of the walks we took last time and searching out new beaches. Our grandchildren loved the pool. This time our family group was complete, and all nine of us were able to come. The birdlife in the estuary is amazing - we have never seen so many curlews in one place! Fairlie family (Durham)

Thank you very much for letting us stay in your spectacular home, we really enjoyed playing in the pol and siting on the hammock, the views were amazing and I loved having a look through the telescope and I’m sure I’m going to miss sitting down at the bench and looking at the estuary. Tonight we saw 10 bunny rabbits bouncing and playing together and we saw lots of birds when the tide was out.
PS - we enjoyed talking to the cows! And a new friend Burnie the pigeon, he built his nest right next to the house! Katie aged 11, going on 12....... (Doncaster)

Thank you or letting us stay in your beautiful house, ample room for 9 of us. Kids & adults really enjoyed the pool and pool toys. The view is fantastic, couldn’t take our eyes off it. Made use of the BBQ a couple of times. The house is so well equipped with everything you could need. Kids loved watching the cows and rabbits and even a kestrel in the garden. Loved using the binocs and the telescope, will be sad to leave the fantastic view. Thanks again for everything. Sharpe, Warner and Carr families (Doncaster)

July 09 - Dear Kathy, Thank you very much for the lovely house - it was perfect for us - two families with 7 children all together. Our children loved swimming in the warm pool and playing in the beautiful garden. In the evenings we profited from the well equipped! kitchen and cooked all together (11 persons). Schuth Family (Germany)

Nice local cider, better than Normandy! Hope to come back to the area soon. Some problems with the oven and microwave but I’m sure they’ll be sorted tout de suite! (Edit - all fixed the next day) Look forward to coming back! Ketteringham family

June 09 - Wow......what an amazing house + area! We have had a fantastic time and didn't want to leave. The space is great and the house is clean enough to eat off the floor! Everything is thought of and provided which made for an excellent stay. We are so grateful for the feasability of a 4-day stay and slightly early arrival. Will recommend to everyone + we were the envy of all at the conference when we showed the pictures! Thank you so much! Plymouth Cystic Fibrosis Team (Plymouth)

Your website and first-hand reports suggested this house to be something special! It has surpassed all expectations!
What a magical setting, geared to give all ages a truly memorable holiday. It’s the first time we have attempted a holiday ‘toute en famille’ and we could not have found a more delightful spot.

Thank you for the care you evidently take to make it such an all entrancing/comfortable experience. We are enchanted with the estuary, landscape, and the unbelievable birdsong...... Wardle family

May 09 - What a fantastic holiday we have all had. Despite a bit of rain the first week the sun came out in force the 2nd week and the pool was used every day! The library is fantastic and we all found something of interest. Great communal areas where we had many a game of cards. All the recommended places to visit were visited and enjoyed. The pizzeria restaurant in Le Faou was frequented along with the restaurant next door to it which did amazing steak. The staff in both eateries were friendly and helpful. We all had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable holiday and seeing as the sun is shining again today, we are sorry to leave. I'm sure we will be back!! Kay family (S. Wales)

We have had a brilliant week. The house was a home from home and had everything we could ask for. The kids have grown fins! They made full use of the pool. The weather was wonderful and we have made the most of every minute. We would fully recommend the beaches around Camaret sur Mer, Concarneau and the boys enjoyed the many golf courses around Concarneau. Many thanks Kathy - we will be recommending the house to our friends and hope to visit again soon. Maudsley, Baker and Newell famiies (Guildford)

August 08 - We so enjoyed your lovely house, amazingly well equipped and thought-out in every way. The highlight for me was my 70th birthday dinner at Les Viviers de Terenez, where we all feasted on lobster, crab and oysters. The house held all 12 of us with the greatest of ease. The Sunday antique market in the Crozon yielded many treasures. Smail family (London)

First time in Brittany & had a wonderful time although some days were a bit damper than we would have chosen. Estuary House is to be envied in its location & amenities, not a day went by without the pool being used. Tyler family (S. Yorkshire)

July 08 - We've had a fabulous couple of weeks, with almost unbroken hot and sunny weather. The house is wonderful to be in: or rather, be outside of, sitting around one of the tables, swimming in the pool or reading on one of the loungers. Even though we've felt slightly guilty about it, there have been days on end where we haven't wanted to move from this lovely environment. Jacob (11 yrs old) managed 70 laps of the pool; we don't know if anyone's managed more so far, but issue this as a challenge to future children! Buckton family (Cambridge)

October 07 - Well - for the time of year, the first half of the week was reasonable and fairly warm - but Wednesday onwards it has been like mid-summer! Hot - swimming in the pool and sunbathing. What a lovely position this is - gorgeous views. The stairs were a fag - but worth it! Quimper and Concarneau (as you said) were well worth the drive and Faou is a nice little village too with a good atmosphere. All in all - a lovely restful week - we could stay longer. Buffy the fox terrier says a big 'woof' for the doggie chews! Prett family (Poole)

September 07 - Thankyou so much! We have had the best time! The house is amazing - so well equipped - a real home from home! The children thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool and playing in the beautiful garden.We had real fun cooking in the kitchen and despite eating so well, have all returned with super toned thighs after climbing the stairs :-) Concluding comments (ha ha) WE WILL BE BACK!! Pearce family (Devon)

August 07 - To Kathy, Thankyou for letting us stay in your house. I loved being in the pool xx Holly - aged 11 Lovely weather all week. Pool was nice and warm at times, (edit - pool is now heated!) but all round great holiday xx (Gemma - aged 13) The pool was great fun. Thanks for a brilliant week. (Chloe - aged 10)

We've all had a lovely holiday. Thank you for such a well-equipped, easily maintained house. Brilliant to have so many loos and bathrooms. The situation is beautiful, we had a very good family party. Thank you. Findlay family (Scotland)

July 07 - Evenings almost always started with white wine and oysters (we even found oysters in the estuary) in the garden or on the balcony. From the swimmimg pool there has been laughter and joy not only once or twice but at least 3 or 4 times a day. We're glad we chose this house to celebrate our mother's/mother-in-law's/grandma's 70th birthday. Brandsma family (Sweden)

Many thanks for everything. The house was ideal for our group; while the weather was not pefect, the view always was! What a great base for exploring Brittany - we intend to return one day soon. Zaiane family ( Canada & France)

I love your Hose it should be a Hotel. The swimming pool was warm all the time. I also liked the rose on the tree. PS - the view was Grate! Shannon - aged 7

The grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool as did we. Coincidentally like your earlier guests this was a family holiday to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. We enjoyed the Crozon Peninsula, especially the cliff walks and beaches near Camaret. Fairlie family (Durham)

June 2007 - A wonderful house with many beautiful locations nearby to explore, I would suggest Locronan, a lovely village with winding streets to explore. Concarneau has a walled town with one of the best creperies. But if you are feeling lazy I'm sure you'll find the house itself is more than enough to keep you happy. I was particularly fascinated by the tide clock, watching the ebb and flow of the tide is very relaxing. Goodrick family (Brighton)

May 07 - The boys certainly made the most of the pool! Quimper market is worth a visit - found some horse meat for the Barbeque. Thanks for a fantastic holiday. Nicholson family (Saltash, Cornwall)

April 07 - We have had the most amazing weather this week so enjoyed the garden, estuary, local beaches and walks. What a perfect home for a family holiday! We have all fallen in love with the house - so much space, even with 11 of us there was plenty of room to do our own thing. The view is fantastic, weather has been as hot as summer. We will certainly recommend Estuary House to friends. Caruana family (Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Brighton)

March 2007 - What a brilliant place to chill. The rooms are gorgeous and the house is really welcoming. When we were able to tear ourselves away from the balcony and views over the estuary, there are some great places to visit. Ryall-Harvey family (Merseyside, N. Wales,Birmingham & London)

February 2007 - Thank you for letting me stay in your amazing house! Me and Nicki think that it could be a hotel. And I really don't want to leave! Lauren - aged 12 (Plymouth)

Thank you so much for giving me a few days of Heaven, I have so enjoyed everything and didn't think I'd be able to be so energetic!! Jean (Ivybridge)

Un grand merci pour ces quelques jours " á l'oeil" que j'ai très apprécié. Nathalie (Exmouth)

New Year '06 - We all had a brilliant time in Estuary House, facilties were excellent and the views fantastic, brilliant for birdwatching, every detail well thought of. Had an excellent 10 course meal New Year's Eve in the local Hotel. Gillard family (Devon)

September 2006 - What a fabulous house! We really enjoyed it, a real 'Home from Home'. We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay and are very thankful of the facilities you provided! Thanks again, we will certainly recommend to all our friends and intend to stay for a longer period in 2007. Our very best regards, John and Micheline and family (Plymouth)

PS - What a wonderful place, the brilliant sunshine took us by surprise as we visited the surrounding areas, Concarneau with it's magical feel and history, Locronan with it's cobbled streets, grand Cathedral and little boutiques. The bay of Douarnenez left us breathless by it's beauty!

At Plouganvelin near Le Conquet we discovered a fabulous restaurant called 'Hostellerie de la Pointe St Matthieu (restaurant gastronomique), one hour's drive but well worth it, expensive.......but superb, a memorable experience. We look forward to our next visit, and please do not miss QUIMPER!! Thank you Kathy and Glen. Micheline

August 2006 - Great house, four floors, now very fit!! Have visited most of the places you recommend but still chilled!! Kids loved the pool, the dolphin is now called 'Dolgus'. Daughter appreciated the box set of Friends videos, many hours of happy viewing. Loved watching the tide coming in and out, very relaxing. Mostly we have just read, watched DVDs, ate, drank and been merry, but very enjoyable. Oh and swimming in the pool!! Many thanks. Waters family (Stratford-on-Avon)

July 2006 - Lovely relaxing house for a lovely relaxing holiday. Can thoroughly recommend Oceanopolis, Menez Mehr, Quimper, Locronan and Daoulas Abbey for interesting trips out. Abbit family (Cumbria)

The last time I came to Brittany I was around 3 years old, almost 10 years ago. This holiday has reminded me how amazing it is here.  James - aged 12

I have enjoyed going in the pool and I have enjoyed going on the shore. Lucy - aged 7

June 2006 - The Pioneers! We would just like to say how lovely your French home is, how beautifully refurbished, and how perfect for a really relaxing holiday in the most peaceful, beautiful surroundings. We have already started to recommend it to others, most of whom are green with envy when we describe our wonderful week at Estuary House. We're looking into squatter's rights in France! Lin, Bob, Helen, Brian, Marian and Bob (Plymouth and South Woodford )
