About this property

Charming cottage located in a peaceful country setting with all shops nearby

THE LOCATION
Situated in an ideal spot deep in the breton countryside, but only a few kilometres from the coast and beautiful beaches. A few minutes' drive north will take you to the medieval village which was voted the most beautiful village in France in 2016: Rochefort-en-Terre. A few minutes' drive south will take you to the banks of the river Villaine including the Port de Foleux and La Roche-Bernard, 2 lovely sites of outstanding beauty. Other touristic delights await you in the gorgeous walled medieval port of Vannes not forgetting the megaliths of Carnac and Gavrinis South-West of Vannes and the "Parc naturel de la Briere" to the South. The most beautiful location in the region is however the famous “Golfe du Morbihan” with its countless islands and splendid beaches.
For golf lovers, there is even a golf course in the nearby village of Caden and it is only 5km to the nearest major supermarket.

THE ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation consists of two rooms: the lounge/kitchenette and a large bedroom, which provide a charming retreat attached to the main house. This means that we, the owners, are on hand to help out with any requests for information or to help with difficulties including language problems since we are both bilingual English-French.

The bedroom is a vast, airy space overlooking the Bêganne countryside. Comprising two double beds and a double futon, the bedroom is be suitable for two couples or a family. A fold-away cot can be provided for a baby. The bathroom is en-suite as you can see from the photos. The Velux window above the second bed is fitted with a black-out blind to shield your eyes from the sun at dawn. Guests with small children should be aware that the spiral staircase leading to the bedroom is rather steep and they are advised to take precautions to avoid accidents.

Downstairs, the dining and lounging room is accessed by your own private entrance door. Everything is provided for casual self catering, with table and chairs for four, all cutlery and crockery, a toaster, coffee machine and kettle and a refrigerator. Cooking is limited to a microwave oven as we don't envisage our holiday makers wanting to cook the Sunday roast when there are so many creperies, and restaurants within driving distance. A high chair can be provided for small children. Then there is the lounge area with a sofa and easy chairs where you can sit and drink beer, cider or wine after a long day's exploring. This room used to be our home-brewery, which is why the place is called "La Brasserie". We still brew beer on the premises. We can offer French lessons by arrangement (tuition fees not included) and Mike can offer "an introduction to brewing your own beer at home" the is no extra charge for this.

While the space would accommodate more, we limit occupancy to 4 (or 4 plus an infant) to ensure there is sufficient hot water for showering, etc. Additional accommodation may be available in our self-contained gîte next door, but this is bookable separately and may be already taken so contact us in advance to check availablity.

OUTSIDE
Part of our large garden has a decked terrace with a picnic table, parasol, sunloungers and a barbecue. Our guests are invited to use this space on the understanding that the dog loves meeting our guests.

We are members of Brittany Ferries "Club Voyage" which allows us to recommend friends and associates for a 10% discount of the cost of the crossing. This does not apply to cabins, meals, etc.

Danièle and Mike look forward to welcoming you at La Brasserie.

Quiet location
We had a lovely week with Mike and Danielle. They met us on arrival and Danielle had gone to the trouble of creating a local attractions list and map, which was really helpful as we hadn’t visited the area before. We were invited around for drinks on the terrace once we had settled in. Mike brews his own beer. This warm welcome was extended to other evenings if we desired. Mike and Danielle were on hand if we wanted anything but didn’t interfere in our holiday at all. Charming place, about 30 mins from the coast, with plenty to do in the local area. Nowhere felt overly busy or overly commercialised. A great family holiday. Thanks for you hospitality. Neil and Claire, UK.

A lovely cottage in a great location, great hosts!
We enjoyed our short stay in the well appointed and very comfortable cottage. Our hosts welcomed us earlier than originally planned and showed us around the cottage. They are a friendly and helpful couple who made us very welcome, we will be returning later in the year. The kitchen are is very functional, the living room is perfect for us and the bedroom generous. We slept wonderfully. I would recommend our hosts and the cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in a beautiful part of Brittany. Thank you for letting us stay, we loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Danièle

Host profile image
We came to Brittany in 2016 after having spent most of our lives in Dorset. My name is Daniele. I am French and have returned to my place of birth after 42 years in England where, naturally, I taught French. My husband, Mike, is English and was also a teacher, but who now is following the more noble calling of brewing British beers in France.
We both speak French and English and are able to offer French lessons at all levels. We are always available next door for help and advice.

Why they chose this property

We chose this house because of its perfect location. Situated deep in the gorgeous Breton countryside while still close to countless tourist attractions such as fabulous beaches such as Damgan and Pen Lan. We are only a few minutes drive from the famous medieval village of Rochefort-en-Terre, voted the most beautiful village in the whole of France in 2016. A few minutes drive South will take you to the banks of the river Villaine including the Ports of Foleux and La Roche-Bernard, both famous for their outstanding beauty. To the West, you will find the impressive walled city and medieval port of Vannes which gives access to the most stunning location of the region, the "Golfe Du Morbihan", an enormous gulf with countless beautiful islands with their own warm micro climate and numerous pristine beaches.
Throughout the region, lovers of megaliths can enjoy visiting some stunning neolithic sites such as Carnac and the island of Gavrinis.

What makes this property unique

Our house is a traditional "longère", a long farmhouse, entirely renovated and consisting of 3 distinct dwellings: our house and 2 "gites". We only have 2 neighbours, so the place is very quiet apart from bird songs and the occasional barking dog.
The house itself has been lovingly restored and has kept many original features.
The huge garden stands on a hill which means the view from the terrace is breathtaking. You can see the fields and woods miles out and enjoy the most spectacular sunsets while having your evening drink on warm summer evenings.
A decked area and the lower part of the garden can be made available to dog-friendly guests (see photos).
