Description. The cottage is
split-level and detached. It is located on a hilltop and from the house
patio and garden there are far reaching views over rolling countryside.
The cottage can accommodate six people, plus a baby. Most of the rooms are
on the upper floor and comprise three bedrooms, a kitchen/dining room, a
shower room with w.c and a second w.c. Downstairs there is a 28 foot by 12
foot living room with French doors leading onto the patio, barbecue and
garden. We have a hi-fi system. The bedrooms have a double bed, twin three
foot beds and twin two foot six beds. There is also a camping cot.
Blankets, duvets and English pillows are provided, but we ask you to bring
your own bed linen and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a gaz
cooker, fridge and microwave. We have an automatic washing machine and the
cottage is electrically heated. At the side of the house there is an area
of gravel for off-street parking. The cottage is in a peaceful countryside
location, on the edge of the small village of Quimerc'h where you will
find a small supermarket, bar, tabac, butchers and a church. Close by is
the larger and pretty village of Le Faou which has a full range of shops
including a larger supermarket. There are many excellent restaurants in
the area which all offer very good value and a wide range of menus. If you
enjoy fishing, Chateaulin is only 5-6 miles away where the River Aulne
ranks number one in the whole of France for salmon fishing. Other species
of fish also provide good sport. For cyclists The Circuit de L'Aulne
bicycle race is famous world-wide for its quality and diversity. If you
enjoy walking, the area has many beautiful coastal walks and there are
also opportunities for rambles in the countryside. The beaches are sandy
and uncrowded with safe swimming and sailing and are 10 miles away along
country lanes. Quimper is approximately 20 miles south, an easy drive down
the by-pass. For children, there are small play parks in the area, a small
zoo and an inland lake with pedaloes etc. You may also like to take a boat
trip or visit many of the fascinating towns and villages which are not
besieged with tourists - yet! Night-clubs and a hectic night life are not
to be found here, but if you are looking for a relaxing holiday in
beautiful unspoilt countryside, then this is for you.
