Self Catering Accommodation

The Longere (5 en-suite bedrooms, sleeps 10)

A large comfortable and spacious converted barn, adjacent to the owners' house, is on 2 floors and comes very well equipped.

On the ground floor there are spacious living areas (open plan but separated) of kitchen; dining room with table and chairs for 10 and the lounge with its wood burning fireplace. The tiled floors throughout provide easy to clean elegance.

The kitchen is fully equipped with modern units, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and conventional ovens, fridge, toaster etc. With plenty of space for a kitchen table and chairs it is perfect for the informal breakfast and for use by the younger members.

We also make sure that you have those little extras like a mixer/blender, garlic press, whisk and Tupperware containers.

Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with its en suite shower and toilet. These have no steps which, with that little extra space, make this room ideal for the less agile.

On the first floor there are the other 4 bedrooms each of which have en suite shower and toilet facilities. 2 of the bedrooms have twin beds and the other 2 have doubles with space for a cot if required. All have comfortable English divans and quality bedding.

The Barn (3 en-suite bedrooms, sleeps 6)

The second of the newly converted barns faces south-east with patio doors opening onto a terrace with a wooden picnic table and bench seats, next to the barbecue – perfect for meals in the sun. Fields all around the property ensure privacy and seclusion.

Downstairs, the kitchen is well-appointed, open-plan and modern, cool tiles lead you through to the dining area and further onto the lounge.

This gite also has an easily accessible downstairs double bedroom with en-suite bathroom for any guest finding it more practical to sleep on the ground floor.

The first floor has a further two bright, comfortable provencal-style bedrooms – a double and a twin, overlooking the pool and surrounding countryside.

There is a cot in the gite as well.

On hot summer days this pretty spacious house is filled with sunshine.

The Grounds

There is plenty of space to play or just relax and wallow in the peace and tranquillity. Our 12m x 6m heated swimming pool overlooks the countryside and is in full sunshine for the whole day, and with sun loungers for all, the perfect spot for soaking up the rays.

The pool water is kept sparkling clean using modern chlorine-free methods that not only ensures that micro-organisms are destroyed more effectively than using chlorine, but the water is gentle on the skin and eyes and feels fresh and clean every time you use it. The shallow end is flat and ideal for the children with the deep end sloping to 2m.

For safety, the pool area is enclosed and children are not allowed to use the pool area unaccompanied.

Holiday Cottage Brittany - Area

The wild beauty of the Breton landscape is reflected in the spirit of its folk.

This seafaring region, long a favourite with British visitors, is proud of its culture and likes to consider itself independent from the rest of France.

In many ways Brittany closely resembles its Celtic cousin, Cornwall. There's a familiar ring to place names, the traditional, white cottages have that chocolate-box appeal and seafood is always on the menu.

The Breton language divides this region's landscape into Armor (coast) and Arvor (forested interior). The region's northern Cote d'Armor extends from the wide expanse of Mont St Michel Bay in the east, through the sandy beaches of the Cote Emeraude - historic St Malo, Dinard and the Rance estuary to the west - where a detour inland finds delightful, medieval Dinan.

At Trebeurden, its name changes to Cote Granit Rose, as the underlying rock is exposed in pink granite cliffs in the environs of Perros Guirec. Westwards, Atlantic rollers crash against the Finistere coast and its islands, with the naval port of Brest sheltering in the Elorn estuary

Below Brest, the pretty Crozon Peninsula stretches its fingers into the Atlantic. This headland lies inside the Parc Regional d'Armorique which reaches inland to Huelgoat, where pleasant wooded walks can be enjoyed.

Across the Baie de Douarnanez, to the south, lies another rocky outcrop terminating in the impressive Pointe du Raz. Inland, the ancient capital, Quimper, and preserved village of Locronan are worth a visit.

South of here, the coastline softens, punctuated by wooded river inlets around attractive Benodet, the fishing port of Concarneau and artists' haven, Pont-Aven.

Below busy Lorient, miles of unspoilt sands sweep down to the Quiberon Peninsula and intriguing Golfe de Morbihan, an area littered with prehistoric monuments.

Not to be missed are the stone avenues of Carnac and the delights of old Vannes and Auray.

Moving inland, a patchwork of forests and fields covers much of the countryside. To the south-east, near the pretty chateau town of Josselin, lies the fairytale Foret de Paimpont, linked by legend with Merlin and King Arthur. Rennes the modern-day capital, features an attractive old quarter as do nearby Fougeres, Vitre and Combourg.

Brittany is proud of its past. Eco-museums abound, and the old ways are kept alive at village fetes where visitors and locals sit down en masse to feast and enjoy traditional Breton customs and costume.

On saints' days, pilgrims still gather to parade through the ancient parishes.

"For a holiday that can offer spectacular coastlines, beautiful countryside and tranquil medieval villages within an easy drive, look no further than Brittany." - Paul and Mary Johnson (Talvern, Guemene-sur-Scorff)
