The Mare aux Sanglier Gîte nestles on the edge of the forest in the village of Restidiou Vihan, a little corner of paradise where it is so quiet you can hear the birds sing in the tranquil countryside. Children are free to explore by bike or on foot on our quiet roads. There are numerous hiking trails from your door, and charming Huelgoat is easily accessible through the forest. It’s a magical place in a tranquil setting, perfect for recharging your batteries and rediscovering calm.

Our story started when Pierre of Berrien met Helena from London at the Vieilles Charrues music festival in 2014. After a cross-channel romance Helena decided to join Pierre in his little corner of paradise to start a family, and to step out of the “metro-work-sleep” life of London. We regularly welcome family and friends to Brittany. Now, with two children, the house had become smaller and the idea was borne to buy an old house and restore it. The opportunity presented itself very quickly and in October 2021 we acquired a small house located 100 meters from our main home... What luck!!! And so the work began. We tore up everything and started afresh, getting back to four bare walls and a roof. We carried on, reinforcing the electrical and water networks, putting in insulated slabs on the floor and a new staircase. We coated the entire interior of the house in Hemp Lime, and what a job that was! We give sincere thanks to our friends and family with whom we spent many Saturdays completing this renovation. The walls of the Mare aux Sangliers Gîte are imprinted with love. In May 2023 the work was completed and initially we welcomed friends and family only, with the idea of ​​opening a Gîte accommodation in April 2024.
