About this property

Charming Breton cottage in a secluded woodland setting with pool, and spa

Nestled in a forest clearing, set in 14 acres of woodland and lawns is the wisteria covered, picture postcard cottage 'Chouette'.
Situated just outside of the village of Lignol in Southern Brittany at the end of a private, long and winding driveway it is the perfect place to relax by the pool or explore the stunning Breton countryside littered with ancient towns and villages.
'Chouette' sleeps 6 in three seperate and spacious bedrooms. The downstairs offers a well appointed, open plan living area. to the rear is a fully equipped kitchen which overlooks the orchard. The large carved Breton dining table is positioned just in front of the wood burning fire and the sitting room overlooks the gardens. There is a discreetly positioned family bathroom which is large and airy in the under stairs area. Next door is a very private twin bedded room with its own bathroom.
Venture upstairs and there is another twin bedded room with views to the wooded back garden. Through into another room is a luxurious four poster bed with a feature carved Breton wardrobe. This bedroom has a cleverly hidden toilet and wash hand basin
Hidden behind our walled garden is a large solar heated swimming pool equipped with a picnic area and sun loungers. There is a child's play area with swings, table tennis and an exciting zip wire.. Bikes are in plentiful supply with sizes ranging from the very young to adult frames.
Our indoor facilities include a heated plunge pool and spa, full sized snooker table, table football, darts and wide screened television.
The cottage is maintained to a high standard. They are child friendly and we provide stair gates, high chairs and cots for the little ones. The older and more boistrous can run around freely as there is no through traffic. . There is a seperate dining area with tables, chairs and a BBQ.
The cottage is served with fast wi fi, English TV, washing machine,a clothes drying area, hairdryer, bedding, towels and tea towels. There is ample parking to the front of the cottage.
We are open all year round take advantage of summer sun or cozy nights in beside a log burning fire.
We are pet friendly and welcome and welcome all animals.
We are within 40 min drive of the spectacular L'amor Plage even closer is the 7.5 mile long Lac de Guerledan for swimming,, boating and dining at its many fabulous lakeside restaurants. About the same distance is Lorient with its exclusive clothes shops and world class marina. The owners will keep you abreast of the local flea markets shopping at them is a passion of theirs.
There is an excellent supermarket which features a fresh fish counter only 6 min drive away at Guemene Sur Scoff a pretty little village which has been awarded the title od 'A small City of Character'.

Summer adventure
Our stay at Alan's was fantastic. The location of the property is in a quiet village. It is ideal for a very relaxed break. Lots for the children to do at the property. Games room, zip wire, swings, trampoline & a good sized clean pool. Also lots of land for the children to explore all of which was very safe. We will definitely be visiting again. Alan was a great host.

Great cottage and even better pizza!
We had a fantastic time at this lovely cottage! Brian and Allan, the owners, were incredibly friendly and attentive, going out of their way to make our stay special. They even made us homemade pizza with their pizza oven, which was absolutely delicious! The cottage has plenty of great amenities -our favorites were the snooker table and the trampoline. Brian and Allan were really relaxed about letting us use everything, even if it meant moving furniture around or taking a midnight swim in the pool. If we had to mention a small downside, it’s that the “boat stairs” can be pretty steep and tricky if you’re not used to them. Plus, one of the three bedrooms isn’t fully enclosed from the living room since there’s just a staircase separating them, which might be a bit inconvenient if you’re looking for privacy. Overall, the cottage is not only beautiful but also incredibly cozy, and Brian and Allan’s warm welcome made it even more inviting. We definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for a comfy place in a quiet, peaceful area with lots of fun activities and fresh air!

Hébérgement en tranquillité, pleine nature
Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances en famille: cottage est spacieux et agréable, la piscine donne un raison de plus pour notre contentement. Le propriétaire est aimable et serviable. Petites réserves en propreté représentent le seul point négatif. Nous recommendons!

Très bon séjour en famille
Hôte très agréable et aux petits soins. Un grand nombre d’activités possibles sur place pour le plaisir des petits et grands. Jardin clos et sécurisé pour profiter pleinement de la piscine. Beau domaine en cours de rénovation. Petit bémol sur le ménage. Une adresse à conserver

Super séjour en famille !
Nous avons passé une semaine dans ce gîte ou tout est à notre porté. Le gîte possède un tout petit "jardin" non fermé. Le "vrai" grand jardin est commun, il possède une grande tyrolienne, un trampoline, un but de foot avec des ballons, des balançoires et une table de tennis de table. Ce qui est bien c'est que tout est fournit, les raquettes il y a également ce qu'il faut pour un badminton. La piscine est séparé de cet endroit par un mur, elle est clos et très sympathique ! Il n'y a aucun vis a vis de la piscine au reste du domaine. La salle de jeux est un peu plus éloigné le point négatif étant qu'il faut passer devant la porte des propriétaires. Elle est très grande, on y trouve un grand billard un petit babyfoot et des jeux de fléchette ainsi qu'une grande télévision. Le spa n'était pas disponible durant notre séjour (nous supposons que cela est dû a des travaux). Donc si vous ne souhaitez pas bouger durant vos vacances tout ce qui est au domaine devrait suffire a vous satisfaire ! Les hôtes sont très gentil, avec des gentilles attention pour savoir comment se dérouler notre séjour malheureusement la barrière de la langue a été compliqué pour nous, les hôtes ne parlant pas bien le français et nous mal l'anglais.

Le cottage a tout ce qu'il faut, la piscine est agréable également et si comme nous vous avez du soleil c'est encore mieux Les lits sont aussi parfaits , vous pouvez faire de bonne nuit. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

Un havre de verdure, de calme et d’espace au grand air idéal pour séjour en famille avec enfants
Le terrain disponible autour de la longère et tous ses équipements sont tout simplement géniaux : jardin arboré, tyrolienne et énorme trampoline, piscine à l’abris du vent, salle de jeux accessible (billard, babyfoot, fléchettes...), départ de balade à pied au milieu des bois et des champs... La végétation, les paons, les vieux bâtiments en pierre du 17ème... l’ensemble est très bucolique. Nous avons passé 4 jours en famille avec 4 enfants/adolescents : chacun y a trouvé son compte! Alan nous a accueilli de façon très chaleureuse, est resté disponible et en même temps très discret. Les travaux de rénovation restant des différents bâtiments sont encore gigantesques mais le projet est magnifique! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir d’ici quelques années pour admirer l’avancée des travaux et profiter des équipements à venir!

Accueil jovial. Les propriétaires ont repris le site depuis 6 mois et on fait un travail monstrueux pour le remettre à flot. Quoi qu'il y ait encore beaucoup à faire ils ont un très beau projet
