Jane and Allan are caring, warm people and they will share with you what you have. Really, I've been pampered like I visited my family.

Thanks a lot to both Alan and Jane who hosted me in a minute notice during my tour de France. A lovely couple with whom we talked about bees, gathered an essaim and saw some parts of the French coast.
If you are lucky you will get to make your own honey and play music with Alan.

Thanks for the ukulele lesson 👌

My recent stay in Plancoët was absolutely wonderful. Alan and Jane were fantastic hosts, I couldn’t have wished for a warmer welcome and more generosity. The work was varied, and I learned so much, especially regarding the many bee hives! I can’t express my thanks enough and look forward to heading back!
