Ille et Vilaine > Plum Tree Cottage - Brittany - Property 305

Plum Tree Cottage is one of four cottages that have been restored to provide modern conveniences whilst retaining all the charm of a typical French farmhouse. Leaving in lots of the original features, like granite walls and exposed oak beams. A perfect place for all the family to unwind, either by the pool or under a tree with a good book and a glass of wine. 

 This typical French cottage is an ideal family holiday home. The ground floor consists of an open plan lounge/ kitchen /dining area, so Mum doesn't feel left out of the holiday and stuck in the kitchen. The comfortable lounge/ dining area has a log burner, some granite walls and exposed oak beams. The well equipped kitchen area has a door leading to a covered veranda.

The 1st floor has a shower room and 2 bedrooms, a large double bedroom and a bedroom with bunk beds both with granite walls and exposed oak beams.  There is a separate patio with garden furniture, sun canopy and a BBQ.  There are two and a half acres of gardens with open views over undulating farmland. The communal patio area has a brick BBQ, the ideal place for parents to get to know one another, while the kids play. We have had many an enjoyable evening with a BBQ and a few drinks. The heated above ground pool is made of teak to fit in with the surroundings in the orchard. The pool is open from May - September. The gardens are the ideal place to either relax by the pool, have a picnic under a tree, or just sit and read a good book while sipping a glass a wine. There is a 14ft trampoline with safety nets, badminton, swings, boules pit, swing ball, football net, and basketball in the gardens, along with numerous games. In the covered veranda area there is table soccer and a darts board. The gardens are large and safe enough for children to play.

Just down the lane there is an 18 km Patrimoine walk through lovely countryside.

Although we are in a quiet location, we are only 5 mins away from the village centre with its Bar-tabac-restaurant-shop, and only 10 mins from Louvigne du Desert with its, shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Also nearby are attractions like Mont Saint Michel, water and floral parks, walking and cycle tracks, trout fishing, horse riding, canoeing, kayaking, Châteaux, and numerous places of interest.We are the ideal place for a weekend break, a house-hunting trip, that romantic getaway or a family holiday, group bookings also available.

There really is something for everyone in this lovely part of Brittany.

Rennes - The capital of Brittany, The beautiful 17th century Palais de Justice and medieval Place des Lices (Jousters Square) are well worth a visit for the half-timbered buildings.
Dinan - A medieval stronghold overlooking the exceptional Vallée de la Rance, Dinan is undeniably one of the most exquisite cities of Brittany. Still entirely surrounded by its ramparts, it has belfries, churches, convents, timbered houses and narrow streets disclosing their secrets as you go along.                   Fougeres - Overlooking vast green countryside Fougeres has retained all of the grandeur of it's glorious past.
