Home description
This four bedroomed riverside house retains its original wooden floors and ceilings. On the ground floor there is a well equipped kitchen with washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher, a spacious dining room, a large comfortable lounge with French doors to the terrace. There are two double bedrooms (one en suite), a family room (sleeps 4) and a further bedroom with bunk beds, both with French doors to the upper furnished verandah. The adjoining barns have now been tastefully converted into three separate gites, each of which can accommodate 5/6 people.

The Brittany / Morbihan region
St Nicolas des Eaux is the very heart of the beautiful Blavet Valley. The village nestles on the banks of the River Blavet which is internationally famous for its fishing. This very friendly village, which is literally two minutes walk from La Maison Magique, has a selection of bars and restaurants. Fresh bread and croissants are delivered daily or can be ordered the night before. The only time you will need your car is for your occasional trip to the nearby supermarkets to stock up with your favourite wine - Muscadet or Cotes du Rhone £1 a bottle.
Pontivy area
Visitors to St Nicolas des Eaux are spoiled for choice for places to visit and things to do. Within the village bicycles can be rented for a lazy cycle along the river towpath and there is a Canoe/Kayak club where visitors are welcome. On the river there are pedaloes and a sightseeing boat. Within a few minutes driving distance there is open air go-karting, heated swimming pool with watersports facilities, forest adventure park, ten-pin bowling and tennis courts, and for those interested in water sports there is the largest lake in Brittany. The area is a delight for ramblers, bird watchers, golfers - with 6 courses in the area, horse riders and especially for those who really enjoy their food - you can have a five course meal including wine for 9 euros (£6.50).
