Jean Cottage & Tom Jolly Hope

Village House near Pontivy

Kerfourn Jean Village Cottage nr Pontivy

Sleeping 4

Kerfourn Village is 5 miles from the riverside town of Pontivy and 12 miles from the medieval town of Josselin.  "Jean Cottage" is a beautifully renovated village house, which has retained original features such as the oak beams and wooden floors; the local boulangerie and bar are only a very short stroll away.  The house has its own garden, courtyard and parking. This can be rented with Shelleth Cottage (No 2a), so if grandparents wish to come on holiday with the kids, they can have their own space!

Tom Jolliehope is the oldest surviving building in Kerfourn dating from around 1736. It became the priest's house in 1813 and has remained unoccupied from 1946 until its total renovation over the last 2 years. It has been carefully restored to include original stonework and oak beams whilst being thoroughly modernised to provide a charming holiday home.

There is a 35 sq metre downstairs area with a large lounge, feature fireplace & wood-burning stove. There is a separate kitchen with all modern appliances including washing machine and full cooker with grill. There are central stairs leading to a small sitting area on a bright landing.

There is a bedroom with twin bunks and a large family bathroom with bath, hand basin and w.c. The main bedroom has a double bed and a private en-suite shower room with hand basin & w.c. There is thermostat controlled convection heating to all rooms with ceiling fans to the landing & both bedrooms. The cottage is completely furnished & equipped to a high standard with T.V DVD player and music centre.

    Local Area

Kerfourn is extremely quiet and has minimal but adequate local services - boulangerie, general store and two bars.  Less than half a mile away there is a well stocked trout and coarse lake where you can fish all day for £2.50 and take as many trout as you like back to the cottage and cook them on the barbeque in the garden. Fishing tackle is available to borrow free. Also a selection of bikes are available which many guests find very useful.

Pontivy - 5 miles - has restaurants, night clubs, shops, cinemas and swimming pool.  Josselin - 12 miles - medieval town with an imposing Chateau.  Beaches - the nearest beaches are about 35 minutes drive away.  Carnac and Trinité-sur-Mer are less than an hour away.
