Home description
The accommodation is set out on two floors. The open-plan ground floor, with its lounge/dining area and fully fitted kitchen, is oak-beamed and benefits from a wood burner. Adjacent to the kitchen is a shower room with w.c.. The first floor has three large bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The garden, to the front, is laid mainly to lawn with a patio area, furniture and barbecue. Guests have access to the owners' garden play area and shared use of their swimming pool (from summer 2008). There is ample parking for several cars on the drive.
The surrounding countryside is perfect for gentle walks and cycling while the nearby coast offers large sandy beaches and dramatic granite scenery. The area is steeped in Breton culture and legends with many historical sites to explore.

The Brittany / Morbihan region
The Breton people are extremely warm and welcoming and the region possesses a unique culture. Three languages are spoken, French, Breton - western Brittany, and Gallo - eastern Brittany. The Breton language is most similar to Welsh and Cornish with many words being identical.
The traditional building material is local granite, although there are many examples of medieval half-timbered buildings. Chateaux are set in a green countryside, which is criss-crossed with beautiful waterways such as the nearby Blavet and L'Evel rivers and the Nantes-Brest canal. Brittany's coastline stretches from the northern Channel coast around to the Atlantic in the West.
Brittany is famous for its seafood dishes and crepes and there are some excellent, local restaurants at which to sample the local 'fare'.
Blavet Valley / Baud area
The cottage is centrally placed for a number of towns. Baud and Locmine are just ten minutes away for essential shopping trips and browsing the weekly street markets. Pontivy, a larger centre, is 15 minutes away and has an impressive chateau and a mixture of half-timbered and Napoleonic architecture.
In July 2008, the riders in the first stage of the Tour de France will race through the local village just two miles away from the cottage.
Throughout the summer, towns and villages hold festivals - Fez Noz - to celebrate their cultural heritage and the city of Lorient, some 30 minutes away, hosts the Inter-Celtic Festival of music and dance which attracts over half a million spectators. In 2008, the festival will take place from 1st to 10th August, with Wales as the featured nation.
How to get there
Within minutes of the N24, a major dual-carriageway, the hamlet is just a 2- hour drive away from the ferry ports of Roscoff and St Malo. Cherbourg and Caen are a little farther away but via excellent roads.
The region is well served by airports at Rennes, Lorient, Brest, Dinan & Nantes. Major car rental companies have offices at all of the airports.
Detailed directions and/or co-ordinates for SatNav are issued upon a confirmation of booking.
