Owner profile
About the owner
I am a teacher and I live in Yorkshire. I like to spend time in France with my family and friends. The cottage is easily accessible from East Midlands airport, flights to Dinard take just 50 minutes. Ty Mad originally belonged to the village Miller who had it built in the 1950's. It retains many of its original features, beamed ceilings and a open stone fireplace but it has been re-wired and it has a new bathroom and hot water system. What attracted me to the cottage was the chalet style of the property, unlike a lot of Brittany cottages it has big windows which make the rooms light and airy. The cottage also has a fantastic garden, with mature fruit trees. I enjoy my trips to the Ty Mad and I strive to provide a great holiday experience for my guests.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Ty Mad is located in the pretty countryside of northern Brittany and is within easy access of a number of places. The lakeside town of Jugon-les-lacs is just 5 miles away. It has a heated open air swimming pool and you can go boating on the lake, there is also a selection of good restaurants. The medieval town of Dinan is just under 30 minutes drive, you can look around the many shops or take a boat ride along the river. I like to go on Thursday mornings to the market for the fresh local produce and then have lunch at the artisan creperie. The emerald coast is only 35 minutes drive, there are seven different beaches and you can chose to go to one of the more secluded beaches or you can go to one of the established resorts and take part in activities such as diving or beach volley ball.
Unique benefits of the property
The cottage stands in half an acre of garden which has the advantage of being centrally located in a village with all the amenities and being secluded as it is hidden from view by surrounding walls. This makes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday with the convenience of the local shops and bars. The village bakery is just round the corner from the cottage and I like to go there in the morning for freshly baked bread and croissants. The central location of Ty Mad also makes it a great place from which to experience French life and culture. There are a number of holiday homes in the village but Plenee-Jugon is still a working French village and there are a number of events which take place throughout the year in Plenee-Jugon and surrounding villages such as musical evenings and cycle races.
