Description from owner
Description
Charming stone-built, Breton farmhouse situated in heart of beautiful, tranquil Brittany countryside. Vine-covered thick granite walls make it cool in summer, cosy in winter with its cast iron log-burning stove. The farmhouse has a large gravelled drive, ideal for long summer evenings of Boules and barbecues. The property stands in its own estate of 9 acres with lawns and drifts of summer annual flowers immediately surrounding it. Over the private lane is a meadow, which in turn leads to a woodland glade and trail down to our own private lake with rowing boat. The lake has a small jetty for diving and swimming and we regularly stock it with rainbow trout. Day tickets are available to fish the lake.
There are scores of wonderful trees for climbing and the woods near the lake offer great den-building opportunities.
We grow our own vegetables and we are always happy to share our surplus! Freshly laid eggs from our 6 hens are usually available too.
Our children have all loved learning to ride a bike here on the safe driveway and smooth tarmac lane.

Response from the owner Je vous remercie pour vos aimables paroles. Ce fut un plaisir de vous avoir ici et merci d'avoir laissé le gîte si propre et bien rangé lorsque vous êtes parti. Je suis désolé pour le problème avec Internet. Nous avons maintenant changé de fournisseur et sommes sur le point d'installer un nouveau système dans le gîte qui, nous l'espérons, améliorera les choses. Nous espérons aussi vous revoir tous ! Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure having you here and thank you for leaving the gite so clean and tidy when you left. I am sorry about the problem with the internet. We have now changed our provider and are about to install a new system in the gite which we hope will improve things. We hope too see you all again!

“Charmant”
Accueil top, maison fraiche et bien aménagée, calme absolu. Quelques petits problèmes de connexion mais finalement c'est idéal pour débrancher un peu.

“Beautiful Stone Cottage in Brittany”
Hi Wow, what a find! A beautifully decorated stone cottage in the middle of the Brittany countryside, set in wild, lush gardens with an abundance of butterfly’s - true to it’s namesake. We arrived to find freshly cut wild flowers, fresh eggs and wine. James, Roo and their children were so welcoming and were ever so respectful to give us lots of privacy but we’re super helpful if we needed anything. The house is spacious and cool with beautiful little touches everywhere. The garden and grounds were great and our little boy loved exploring and visiting the lake. He also made a friend for life with Ebony the dog who would playfully bound over now and again. We had such a great stay, hosted by such lovely people and we can’t wait to return. Thank you James and Roo!
