Le Tay - Self-catering cottage in Mayenne
53120 Carelles, Mayenne
Western Loire,
Francia
Find peace on the edge of Carelles: one shop, and a baker that delivers daily. Your ivy-strewn cottage, resurrected from a barn, sits opposite the owners' house on the other side of the lane surrounded by orchards and pastures. The owner, ex pat from Switzerland, friendly, down-to-earth and happily in France, moved in search of air and space, and usher you in. There's a comfy sofa and a fireplace neatly repointed with a wood-burner; free WiFi, logs on the house, and a TV with satellite channels; the kitchen fits snugly into its corner; the French windows open to the garden; and the bedroom sports a deep mattress, a brass bed and a luxurious roll top tub with many splendored bubbles! All is warm, comfy and cosy, all is on one floor so you don't need to be sprightly. On summery days, you have your own lovely, secluded, south-facing garden, with views, and a barbecue, and a gate in the picket fence opening into the orchard so you can laze in the hammock that's strung from the trees. Borrow the bikes, book a horse, stroll to the local bar, visit medieval Fougères. Or spend the day on the Emerald Coast.

Local points of interest from Peter Morlidge:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Peter Morlidge:
- You're a quick cycle ride away from Les Jardins des Renaudies. Open from April to November, in addition to the gardens you can enjoy the honey fair, the maize maze and the pumpkin festival.
- Fougères is rightly famous for its castle and the gardens, but you can also enjoy a day at the Forêt de Fougères and take a dip in the swimming lake. Perfect for cooling down in the height of summer.
- The Fête de Carelles normally takes place on the first Sunday of July. There are floats, marching bands and refreshments until late into the evening.
- The gite garden is south facing and very sheltered, so it is often warmer there than anywhere else. This allows for extended sunbathing and late al fresco dining.
