Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Excellent family friendly holiday cottages with super facilities
Having just spent a week at this lovely holiday cottage, this place is a perfect getaway. Located in the countryside with no noise or pollution what more could you ask for. Situated within a 10 drive to Malguenac with its own small well stocked supermarket, bakery, bar and creperie/restaurant and also within 20 minutes drive to a lovely town called Pontivy with its fortified castle, shopping centre, restaurants, cafes, take aways, ten pin bowling/laser tag, supermarkets and lovely riverside walks. We rented one of the 3 bedroom cottages (there are 2x3 bedroom cottages and 1x2 bedroom cottage) and everything that you can think of is provided and at hand (if not just ask Rob or Trudy who are more than happy to accommodate). The accommodation is very functional, clean and a great size and very much a home from home.
The facilities are amazing and include: a heated outdoor swimming pool (fenced for security), play barn with pool table, air hockey table, table football, games, dressing up for the little ones, xbox, wii, soft play for under 6's, tv, climbing wall, disco lights and not forgetting the adult exercise equipment (exercise bike, cross trainer, rowing machine, treadmill, punch bag) - I could go on but too much to mention. There is a large field area for football with goals, badminton etc, large trampoline and swings.
Each cottage has its own outdoor table, chairs, umbrella and bbq. There are also picnic benches to watch the children while they are playing in the playhouse, on the slide or even feediing the goats or chickens.
I would highly recommend this holiday accommodation and thank the owners and their friends who looked after us for a few days as well.

Family Holiday
We have recently stayed at Bonne Cherre. It is brilliant for a family holiday. The facilities are great and the children had lots of freedom. The atmosphere is very friendly and the hosts are great. The whole place is spotlessly clean. The gites have everything that you could ever need. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area although you could easily spend the day relaxing by the pool.

Fabulous holiday.
We stayed here last week (1st week Sept 2017). We had the 3 bed gite for my wife and I, along with two small children. The gite was immaculate, clean and very well maintained.
This is a family run business and it truly shows. The owners Rob and Trudy provided us with a very warm welcome, plenty of passing conversation and help when we needed it. Rob even helped me repair my car one morning when it wouldn't start.
The weather wasn't great during our stay, but the play barn is am absolute blessing to keep the children occupied.
The closest village (Around 5 miles away) is okay and has a small shop. The town of Pontivy is around 10 miles away and has everything you could need.
The gite is perfectly located for some great day trips.
The Wednesday night BBQ was the highlight of the stay. All 3 gites, along with Trudy and Rob all sat outside one evening, drinking wine, having a pub quiz and eating some great BBQ food.
We will definitely book again.
The photos on Trip Advisor and the Bonne Chere Website do not do justice to this place. It is far better than we anticipated.
Thanks to Rob, Trudy and their children for making our holiday one to remember.

Fantastic for families!
We have stayed at Bonne Chère for five summers in a row now because nowhere else has lived up to it! It really is the perfect place to come on a family holiday.
Our children have been anywhere between 10 months and 7 and every year have found something more to love about the place (as have we!). The playground, animals, pool and amazing barn, as well as the safe gardens surrounding the gîtes, all make for a children's paradise and if the children are happy the parents are happy too!
The gîtes are spotlessly clean, very comfortable and come with little touches that make you realise the owners (Rob and Trudi) have thought about what you need to successfully holiday with kids.
The surrounding area has a myriad of activities and places to visit (although you will definitely need a car) but we have found that there have been times when we've barely left the grounds of Bonne Chère because there is so much for the kids to do.
If you want a relaxing, friendly, child-orientated place to stay in beautiful grounds with excellent facilites and very welcoming hosts, you really need to look no further.

Relaxing settings with lots to do for Children.
The cottages in Bonne Chere are well equipped and kept to a high standard by Rob, Trudy and the Family. Onsite facilities include an amazing Barn of fun for Children, a Pool and a Hot Tub.
There is plenty of space to kick around a football or to take a little stroll.
The region itself does have lots to do but having a car is essential due to the out of town location of Bonne Chere which to be fair is its best asset.
We would highly recommend Bonne Chere for anyone with Children. In our group, we had children 18 months to 13 years and all had a great time.
Places we enjoyed seeing were the medieval town of Josselin, the Amazing beaches in Carnac and the lake “Lac de Guerlédan”.
Bonne Vanaces!
