The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

Rose Cottage is a pretty stone cottage with lots of character and amazing rural views from the garden. The cottage is in a quiet rural area in central Brittany just a few minutes walk from the Nantes to Brest Canal, ideal for strolling or cycling. ( We have bikes you can hire for the day). Inside the cottage, the living area is spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen farmhouse table, and a cosy log burner for autumn evenings. . The main bedroom has a king size brass bed and is furnished in traditional french style complete with chandelier. The second bedroom can be arranged as a king sized bed or two singles. We can even fit in a cot or fold up bed for a child at no extra charge. The sofa-bed in the living room can accommodate 2 adults. The bathroom has a walk-in shower as well as a full size bath.
Access: This property may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility as the bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs.
Outside is your own private garden and patio , complete with table and chairs and charcoal BBQ for al-fresco dining. The communal area of the garden has a children's play area and a heated swimming pool (open from May to September) which is shared between guests of both gites and the owners. The pool is equipped with a safety-cover when not in use.

    Een kekker huisje met geweldige hosts. Het huisje is leuk ingericht, compleet en heeft een prachtig uitzicht.
    Heerlijk rustig, dichtbij kanaal (fietsen) en leuke kleine plaatsjes. Wel wat verder van grotere plaatsen en zee.
