1 bedroom cottage near St Maden, Dinan, Cotes D'Armor, Brittany
Cosy Country Cottage for Two
Peaceful and Private, Walk to Village and Private Woodland
Sleeps 2 (1 Bedroom)
|
|
The gite, with its private garden, is set within a 3-acre developing permaculture smallholding, with free-range chickens, geese, a rabbit and miniature Breton sheep. Relax on the veranda, under the living willow arbour or stretch out on a swing hung under an aged oak. Cut fresh herbs and help yourself to anything else that is in season and do ask us for free fresh eggs. The village is a short walk away with its bar/boulangerie/shop and a walk or cycle away will take to a choice of 2 auberges for a cheap and tasty lunch. The small town of Caulnes is less than 10 minutes away, and 15 minutes will get you to Dinan, a beautiful medieval town with a choice of supermarkets and an organic store. 40 minutes drive to the beautiful Emerald Coast or, in the other direction, the vibrant city of Rennes. Visit our website for more information. Please note that the cottage is not suitable for children or pets, and smoking is not permitted inside the gite.

Outside
A beautiful permaculture garden designed and planted up this year. The idea is to provide a peaceful place to relax with both sunny and shady areas, full of colour and scents and for holiday guests to help themselves to anything that happens to be in season. You are welcome to walk around our larger site and enjoy the company of the various animals. Just a short walk or cycle will take you to 11 acres of mixed woodland, bordered by the River Rance, to which you will have exclusive access.
Coast/Beach
40 minutes driving will get you to the beautiful Emerald Coast, with its craggy granite bordering sandy coves and blue sea.
Special interest holidays
We offer several short (half-day or less) practical courses, please see our website for more details.
