Home description
Chained Heart Cottage is a converted milking parlour and takes its name from an evocative and enigmatic stone carving on the facade of the main house. We hope the symbolism is appropriate and that guests will find it hard to depart.
The accommodation sleeps 8+ in four bedrooms. It consists, on the ground floor, of a spacious lounge/kitchen area featuring an attractive stone fireplace and master bedroom with en-suite bathroom (bath/shower) and washing machine. The American-style fitted kitchen is fully equipped with extensive work surfaces; a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave are provided. Upstairs there are 2 spacious twin bedrooms and a third airy bedroom with 3 "lits coins", traditional carved breton beds, and a sofa bed. There is a shared upstairs bathroom with shower cubicle. TV/Video/DVD are included.

Guestbook
"What a wonderful house! We’ve had a lovely time meeting up with all our family in all three cottages. Wonderful scenery and food and wine!! Why do we live where we do when there are places like this? Thank you for your hospitality. Now all we have to do is return again with our friends!"
1 July, Holland.
"Best place we have ever stayed in because the house is big, it’s a lovely accommodation and it’s brilliant for the whole family. The pool is clean and refreshing to be in, in hot weather. The dogs are well trained and very friendly. We will defiantly be back".
"Moved into “Chained Heart” from the “Coach House” – both extremely comfortable gites. This one has the benefit of the fire – lovely on chilly evenings! Everything you need is provided. Marion and girls are lovely hosts. We will miss the dogs – all of them! Can’t complain about the weather it has been very good for this time of year – bright, clear crisp mornings with sunshine during the day. The Manoir and gites are beautifully renovated and a real pleasure to stay at. This is our last stop unfortunately before returning to the UK but a great place to have ended on! Thank you".
