Description
Tucked away amongst the rolling fields of Southern Brittany, this cluster of 3 gites offers a tranquil holiday experience with the bonus of sandy beaches and medieval towns within easy reach. The fully enclosed swimming pool has graduated steps and depth and an integral seating ledge. A wonderful variety of play equipment awaits your little ones with lots of space to run free all under the watchful eyes of Josephine the goat and Harvey the pot-bellied pig!
The local village offers a boulangerie, bibliotheque, lake (with pedalos, climbing frame, swings, mini golf, small paddling pool and fishing) and three small bars. The nearest grocery shopping is located at the town of Baud (3km from the gites)and offers other amenities such as banks, supermarkets, pharmacy and doctors. Alternatively there is the pretty town of Locmine, or a little further afield, Pontivy.
