Owner profile
About the owner
Hello, My name is Ann, along with my husband Ralph we have lived in Brittany for five years and are very much enjoying the life style and country living. Pinàbre is the name of our farmhouse which we take much pride in. We have decorated and put in updated fittings but have tried to retain the original look of the place, which we liked so much. We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of Pinàbre, so each changeover I personally clean the farmhouse from top to bottom to ensure it sparkles for the next guests. We try to ensure that children enjoy their stay here by providing play equipment, so parents can relax whilst the children play.
