Adjacent to the house is La Haute Tinguaie which is the owners home. This is in 3 acres of woodland with a trout stream and spectacular granite rock formations to explore. Visitors are invited to share and enjoy these at their leisure.
In the extensive grounds are located the zip wire, archery, football pitches, table tennis, swings and playhouse. The pool is shared only with the owner's family.
Coast/Beach
The north coast is in easy reach of the gite by car and has miles and miles of unspoilt and sandy beaches. Our favourite is at St Pabu near Erquy with its many rock pools and vast expanse of sand. For those who prefer the prom and shops with their beach day Pleneuf Val Andre and Erquy are special; the menus at the many good seafood restaurants are well worth investigating.
Golf
There are many golf courses within easy reach. Val Andre is very popular (40 minutes).

Mont St Michel is a favourite visit with our guests who can spend many hours exploring the historic medieval abbey fortress. Nearby to the mount is Alligator bay. Well worth a visit!
