Additional Location Information
Situated in Mellé the farmhouse La Basse Rouerie is set in 2 acres of secure gardens with excellent views over undulating meadows.
Now four family friendly cottages that have been restored to provide modern conveniences whilst retaining all the charm of a typical French farmhouse.
Leaving in lots of the original features, like granite walls and exposed oak beams.
A perfect place for all the family to unwind, either by the pool or under a tree with a good book and glass of wine.
We are the ideal place for that Brittany weekend break, a house-hunting trip, a romantic getaway or that family holiday. We also cater for group bookings of up to 26 people (Christmas and New Year get togethers, family reunions, club outings etc.)
La Basse Rouërie is located in a small village called Mellé, which is situated on the Brittany/ Normandy borders. Here you can spend days on the magnificent beaches known as the Emerald coast, visit walled towns or just walk through the lovely countryside, something for everyone.
We are about an hours drive from the port of St Malo; this is also an excellent place to visit, with a walled town and miles of sandy beaches.
Also within an hours drive you have the large towns of Rennes, Dinan, Domfront and Mortain all worthy of a visit.
Half an hour’s drive will take you to the walled town of Fougeres with its chateau, and sandy beach in the forest. Mont Saint Michel the 2nd most visited place in France after the Eiffel Tower and St Hilaire a lively market town.
Mellé is also only 10 mins away from the American War Cemetery at St. James, the water park at St Martin de Landelles and trout fishing in St Georges du Rentembault.
So whatever the family want to do on holiday you will find it here, energetic or relaxing you choose it’s your holiday.

DublinA great first foreign family holiday!
Left on 09/24/2012 for a stay in August 2012
We had a great time with our one year old son. Sandy and Barry were fantastic - they have their own grandchildren so they had everything and more than we needed to entertain our one year old! It was a great location with lots of day trips to various places and a great swimming pool in Fougeres. A lovely relaxing holiday in a homely cottage

We spent 1 week at the Cherry Tree Cottage and we enjoy the quietness of the place with our 3 children. It was an excellent base camp for our short trips to St. Maló, Mont Saint Michel, Normandy beaches, Carnac, etc... as well as a great point to relax ourselves at the swimming pool and playing around. The morning jog was excellent as well.

Melbourne, AustraliaAuthentic french countryside cottage -welcoming and homely.
Left on 08/27/2012 for a stay in July 2012
We loved Cherry Tree Cottage's solid stone country-house atmosphere, in a very pretty part of Brittany, close enough to charming local villages.Sandy and Barrie were very welcoming (providing a breakfast pack and bottle of wine)and very friendly and helpful in meeting all our requirements. The cottage was simple, yet comfortable and very homely. The solid stone prevents internet access within the cottage but our hosts provided an alternative position for access. Our cottage was last in a row of 4 attached cottages, which provides a community feel. Surrounding grass and pool were pleasant, though in early July it was too cool to take a dip. We loved the historical town of Fourgeres, where few speak any English, and the food is wonderful.Next time, we'd like to explore the forest and lake and perhaps even go horse-riding.

Hook, HampshireBeautiful Brittany cottage
Left on 08/11/2012 for a stay in August 2012
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome by Sandy and Barrie. Cherry tree cottage was lovely, clean, spacious, light and airy. The facilities for children are great and there is plenty of room for them to explore the local lanes and farm land. There is some delightful beaches within an easy drive, together with fabulous scenic coastal routes. If you get the chance, go to Genets and walk across to Mont St. Michel (with a guide). Alternatively, if you are more of an active type, my eldest son and I tried sand sailing at Cherrieux beach (exhilarating).

NetherlandsWonderful stay at Cherry Tree Cottage
Left on 05/22/2012 for a stay in May 2012
Service:
We stayed here for one week in may with 6 friends, aged 20-something.
The cottage:
Enough space for 6, great garden/patio/outside play-area, kitchen with everything you need, television, DVD player, cosy living room.
Location:
Quiet, peacefull. Depending on your own
What we liked best:
-The hospitality of the owners (lovely people) provided animation (trampoline, tabletop tenis, DVD etc).
- There are a lot of cultural activities/things to see in the area. (If you don't mind to have an +/- 30 - 60 min drive )
What we liked least:
- There is not much to do in the evening, but I don't think the regular guests(families) would mind.
- Too bad the pool wasn't opened yet -

The pittoresk french country-side mixed with warm, Brittish hospitality. barry and Sandy made sure that we had all we needed. Also the area is great. in the middel of meadows and graslands, but also close to the sea. A lot to do and see.
