However, for even more space or for larger parties, our idyllic detached gite which accommodates 4 guests (plus cot) can also be rented providing enough space in total for 14 (plus cots). See separate property listing #6871874.

THE LOCATION: Located in quiet, peaceful hamlet with beautiful walks along the river and in the woods nearby. Less than a 2 minute drive is the quiet yet friendly village of Lanrivain with small grocery store, post office, cafes and restaurant. St Nicolas du Pelem is 10mins away with all its amenities including boulangerie, supermarket, banks, newsagent, pharmacy, restaurants, municipal pool and sports facilities and the traditional Breton towns of Rostrenen and Bourbriac and easily reached within 15mins.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: Less than 30mins drive is stunning Lake Guerledan with its pedalos, kayaking, boat trips, fishing, horse riding, small beach, cafes and restaurants. North is Guingamp with its restaurants, bars, traditional buildings with period facades, whisky distillery and lively festivals in July and August. West is Huelgoat with its mythical forests, lake, restaurants and bars. With numerous quiet lanes in the area and the Nantes-Brest canal nearby, the area is perfect for cycling and walking. Plenty of beautiful beaches and coves within reasonable driving distance.

Markets are regularly held in many of the local towns and villages nearby selling fresh produce and Breton specialities. Festivals and events celebrating Breizh (Breton) culture often take place during summer months to which visitors are always welcome .

Being centrally located, nowhere is too far! Most parts of Brittany and their key attractions are easily accessible. It's easy to explore the coastal areas and stunning beaches of Northern, Western and Southern Brittany as well as the larger attractions the area has to offer such as aquariums, castles, historic towns (Quintin, Dinan, Josselin, Vannes to name but a few), water and adventure parks - each one a perfect day trip. There are visitor leaflets in the property as well as a comprehensive information pack to get the most out of your stay

GETTING THERE: The port of St Malo is the closest and approx. 1hr 30mins away. The crossings to Cherbourg and Caen are quicker but the drive to the property is further (Caen 2hrs 50mins & Cherbourg 3hrs 10mins). The nearest airports are Rennes and Nantes. The tunnel from Calais is another option.

A wonderful peaceful family get away
The property is beautiful, as described in a peaceful location. There are many historical and active things to do in the area but a car is essential. Nearby amenities make it possible to arrive by ferry, get a shop and enjoy your time. Recommended.

Amazing farmhouse!
We stayed with our 4 grown up children (18-24) and partners. The house is perfect. You want for nothing and the location is ideal, central so never more than an hour from anything (and lots to do within half hour or less!) Lots of games, toys etc for younger kids. Would 100% recommend 👌

Lovely quiet setting
Good sized house for a group of eight, three generations all catered for, the little ones especially loved the gardens, pool and play areas. Comfortable inside and outside, an excellent decent sized supermarket close by. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, Rachel and Martin were a pleasure to deal with both before and during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Price

Host profile image
Passionate about France having studied French many many moons ago!

Finally decided to buy our own little hide-away in rural Brittany as it was easy to get to with two school aged boys (hoping their French will improve!) and a great central location to share with others.

Adore French food and wine. Love experiencing the traditional, laid back way of everyday French life with all it has to offer including visiting the local markets and sitting in cafes watching the world go by.

Brittany has always appealed - maybe something to do with our Celtic roots?!. There's so much to do - relaxing on beaches, walking the dramatic coastline, cycling along the canals, fishing, horse riding, exploring the historic towns and discovering wonderful bars and restaurants.
