Château de la Carrière Guesthouse - Self-catering cottage in Mayenne
La Carriere, 53170 La Cropte, Mayenne
Western Loire,
Francia
Climb a flight of stairs to reach the living spaces of this converted 19th-century farmhouse, which includes an open-plan living and dining room and bedrooms with luxurious king-sized beds.
Find books and games for rainy days, a superbly equipped kitchen fit for a chef and a basket on arrival of local and homemade treats; cook up a feast with produce from the potager. There's a private patio for sunny days, and you're welcome to use the swimming pool, pool house and entertainment area too.
The château is surrounded by gardens (re-designed by landscape gardener Paul Bangay), 25 acres of parkland with long vistas and mature woodland and beyond it, picturesque countryside. Solesmes Abbey was built in 1010 and is the home of the Gregorian Chant; the fortified town of Sainte-Suzanne is one of the oldest and loveliest medieval villages in the region (both 30 minutes' drive). This is a great base to explore the delights of Brittany, Normandy and the Loire Valley.

Punti d'interesse locali da
Suzie Jackson:
- Wake up to the sounds of birds or while away the hours wandering the chateau grounds and beautiful walled garden. Dinner in the greenhouse perhaps??
- If the owners are in residence you might get a tour of the chateau itself and share an aperitif on the terrace.
- Take a pre-lunch stroll alongside the Mayenne and then enjoy a lazy lunch at the Loch restaurant.
- Stock up on produce at the Saturday morning market in Laval. Don't forget the roast chicken and potatoes from the rotisserie man.
- Sundays are definitely meant for brocanting and we're happy to give you the inside scoop on the best places to score a bargain or treasure to take home.
- Enjoy organic produce from the chateau potager and orchard. Cooking classes can be arranged on request.
