The Dairy, nr Redon

Traditional Breton Cottage Sleeps 6+

La Vieille Ferme's cottages are part of a traditional Breton longere dating back to 1580 with its original bread oven, which is still in use. The farm is set in 30 acres of land where we keep horses, donkeys, goats, chickens and more; and is in an area of designated natural beauty. Each cottage has a private garden, with Breton barbecue, leading on to an outdoor heated swimming pool (11m x 5.5m).

The Dairy has wheelchair friendly accommodation, with wood burner and full electric central heating, for 6 people, plus cot, plus sofa-bed (supplementary charge, see below). 

  Lounge/diner with wood-burning stove and exposed beams.

The ground floor has a fully fitted kitchen (with washing machine, microwave, iron/ironing board, and cooking knives) and also downstairs is a bedroom for one (although we can put bunk beds in it), and walk-in WC/shower room.  TV, DVD and music player in lounge.

The first floor has a bath/shower and WC, plus 2 bedrooms, 1 with a double bed and 1 with twin beds plus room for a cot. 

  Patio doors lead to a terrace with enclosed garden with washing line and pegs, Breton BBQ and garden furniture, and through the garden gate to the outdoor swimming pool.

Location  

Situated in a small hamlet you are in a perfect location for exploring Brittany. Just two minutes away is L'ile aux Pies (little islands in the combined waterways of the river Oust and Nantes-Brest canal). Here you can walk, climb, horse-ride, fish or cruise along the waterways, or enjoy a meal and a drink in the restaurant/bar.

The owner offers you boat trips along the river and canal

The local village is 3 minutes drive away and contains a mini-market/butchers, a traditional boulangerie, and a restaurant/creperie. Redon, our nearest major town, is just 10 minutes away. It is a town of waterways, with the Nantes-Brest canal crossing the river there, and has wonderful flower displays throughout the summer. Besides it's busy shopping centre Redon has many supermarkets and a traditional open-air market every Monday morning. The TGV railway links Redon with Waterloo and gives fast connections to Rennes, Paris and southern France.

The historic and picturesque town of Vannes is about 35 minutes away and offers extensive shopping opportunities. The southern coast of Brittany is 45 minutes away, and here you will find St. Nazaire and La Baule which boast extensive beaches and a very chic and inviting shopping area.

Megalithic stones are a fascinating feature of Brittany and we are central for many sites, some of which can be found at Vannes, Carnac and at locally St. Juste. Only 15 minutes in the car will find you in some absolutely beautiful villages, some of which have lakes suitable for swimming and windsurfing. A 9-hole golf course is 12 miles away and an international 18-hole course is 30 minutes drive away.
