Le Fournil - Self-catering cottage in Ille-et-Vilaine
35610 Trans-la-Forêt, Ille-et-Vilaine
Brittany,
Francia
This former bakehouse and piggery dating from the 1600s has been sympathetically renovated into a cottage for two. Mark and Tricia, who live across the courtyard in Le Pas Cru farmhouse, crafted much of the furniture themselves, including the four-poster bed, oak cabinets and country-style kitchen.
The open-plan kitchen and living area is a sociable place to rustle up supper while enjoying aperitifs. Later, relax with a soak in the roll-top tub or cosy up by the wood burning stove.
The cottage is in the grounds of Le Pas Cru, surrounded by a hectare of landscaped gardens, and you have your own private garden and patio for morning coffee or a barbecue. Drive 20 minutes to Dol de Bretagne for restaurants, or to Le Mont-St-Michel - borrow a bicycle and get there in an hour. Come back to a welcome hamper with delicious treats of local cider, cheese and bread.
