Guestbook
"We would like to say that we had a lovely stay in Berleze. The cottage and area were everything we hoped it would be, the weather certainly was kind to us and made our stay all the more enjoyable... Thank you once again for the stay at your lovely cottage it is a credit to you and we will be in touch again, I am sure" Cheryl & Ian M, Penn, Buckinghamshire.
"We had a lovely relaxing holiday, helped not least by the location of the gite tucked away in the peace and quiet of the Breton Countryside. We certainly would have no hesitation returning to you in the future and credit you on a beautifully kept gite and well presented private garden" Linda and Alan F ~ Co. Durham
"We had a lovely week in Silfiac. The perfect peace was just wonderful and Silfiac was a welcoming little village. Description of holiday places can be deceiving but Berleze was what we had imagined and hoped for. It is in a great position for visiting other towns and villages but we were also more than happy just to sit in the garden and 'chill' with a glass of wine (or two)" Chris and Mary S ~ Torquay
