BISHOPS WELL COTTAGE (house)

Home description

The cottage is formed, in part, by an annex of the Manoir which constitutes the lounge and master bedroom above. The former boasts a magnificent slate and granite fireplace. A steep staircase from the lounge accesses the master bedroom, a beautiful sunlit room built into the roof to retain the king-post construction. It has a small mezzanine floor (useful for an extra mattress if required) and an ancient armoire- front amongst many features.

The kitchen, bathroom and two smaller double bedrooms are a modern conversion of a much humbler structure, the cow byre, built alongside the house. Nevertheless, the original beams, posts and roof structures have been retained. The kitchen is furnished as a breakfast room with a larger dining table located in the lounge. The bathroom has a shower cubicle (no bath) as well as the usual facilities.

The bedrooms are light and airy; the larger, equipped with two single beds, has a large lucarne window facing the front drive and garden whilst the other, with bunk beds, has a velux window overlooking the cherry orchard. A washing machine is available for guest use in the adjacent utility room. A SatelliteTV/Video/DVD are provided.

Although attached to the main house, the cottages have their own completely separate and private entrances.

The native Breton people, of Celtic descent appreciate their visitors and provide a warm welcome. Their local 'Pardons' and 'Fetes', regional costumes, music, dances, legends and language maintained by the Bretons are a large part of the area's unique charm.
Brittany 's restaurants and bistros supply some of the best of French provincial cooking, very reasonably priced and in generous proportions.
You can't leave without sampling its 'fruits de mer', crepes and cider.
Brittany 's rolling hills, dense forests and lazy rivers, offer a variety of activities; from walking, riding and cycling to fishing and canoeing.
The rich architectural and archaeological heritage provide for excellent one-day tours; the fascinating towns of Pontivy, Josselin, Dinan and Vannes are full of historical interest. Then, of course, there are the megaliths, churches and for the stout-hearted there's the 'quest for the Holy Grail' and the Arthurian legend.
To the south, a short traffic-free drive away, is the beautiful Golfe du Morbihan, a yachtsman's paradise, with all manner of water-sports and numerous little islands to visit on the regular ferries.
Or just relax in the sunshine on an endless choice of beautiful beaches. Additionally the large lakes at Guerledan and Priziac offer excellent facilities for swimming, boating and sunbathing.
Each cottage has details of local amenities and resorts to help you plan your holiday.
Morbihan offers a wealth of activites all within 45 minutes of the cottages.
