A Pastoral Hamlet on the Cote 'd'Armor
Located just a short drive inland from the Côtes d’Armor in Brittany, this amazing privately-owned hamlet of houses and its farm-to-table restaurant are dispersed across 160 acres of pastoral farmland. Developed and conceived by a local family, the property was converted and transformed into an estate that includes several original and creatively restored outbuildings.
As a real working farm, the surrounding landscape is a pastoral country ideal with grazing horses and cattle, wandering chickens and acres of edible crops. The family restaurant and shop are a couple of miles up the road where you can taste the bounty of the local harvest and wander the gardens and where the kids can enjoy pony rides and interacting with the farm animals.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Optional daily breakfast delivered to your door. Wifi throughout, flat screen TV and selection of books, maps and guides. Housekeeping and laundry facilities. Optional baby equipment includes: a travel cot and mattress, highchair, baby bath and changing mat with extra toys and games and optional childcare available upon request. Wood for wood burning stoves provided in winter months. On-site parking.
AROUND
The Côtes d’Armor in Brittany is renowned for the stunning natural beauty of the Pink Granite Coast and the Emerald Coast and is also known for its charming historic towns of Dinan, Lannion, Tréguier and Moncontour and the walled city of St. Malo. Stretching along the Atlantic coast, there are miles of stunning beaches within a 10-minute drive as well as the local towns of Perros-Guirec and Bréhat.
The neighboring Normandy coast is within a three-hour drive, where you can explore nearby Cherbourg, Mont-Saint-Michel and the famous D-Day beaches. But closer to home, there's also plenty to do - from markets and castles to beaches, gardens and forests. There are horse-riding clubs, swimming pools, walking and cycling tracks, and golf courses.
The farm is divided into two parts. The owners grow wheat, barley, elephant grass and maize in the grounds around the cottages (which is also inhabited by some friendly cows and hens). The rest of the farm is 3km away, surrounding the family farm restaurant. There are more cows there, as well as ponies, which children are welcome to ride in the summer months.
