Right in the heart of the rolling Brittany countryside and surrounded by forests, Les Vallées holiday home is a 100 year old traditional Breton longere (long-house) stone and slate farmhouse that has been tastefully renovated into a comfortable and relaxing Gite that will be exclusively yours for your holiday break.
The Gite has retained many of its original farmhouse features such as massive oak beams, carved fireplaces and traditional tiled floors whilst we've added modern comforts such as central heating, satellite TV, double glazing, a dishwasher and power shower.
Downstairs the main L-shaped building consists of a large Lounge with working fireplace, a fully-fitted Kitchen and a toilet/shower room; whilst upstairs are two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, a separate toilet and the bathroom.
Outside, the Gite is situated in a roughly half acre enclosed Garden, surrounded by fields and woods. Between the two 'wings' of the Gite is a floodlit gravelled courtyard and a large open barn, patio, sunloungers and BBQ on the opposite side.
For the children, there's a large climbing frame and swings, a 15ft outdoor splash pool, a small trampoline, a selection of toys and bikes, videos and a Sega megadrive.
Our holiday cottage is located in a small hamlet of 5 houses situated right in the centre of Brittany on the border of department 22 (Cotes d'Armor) and 56 (Morbihan).
We're perfectly situated, only 40 minutes from both the North and South Brittany coasts, as well as having being close to many local attractions within this beautiful part of North-West France.
Getting to the Gite is easy with ferries from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth to St Malo (1 ½ hours drive), Roscoff (2 hours), Caen (3 hours), Cherbourg (4 hours) and Le Havre (4 hours). If you prefer the quicker Dover/Calais crossing or Eurotunnel, it's only 6 hours drive (and can cost a fantastic £29 each way with SpeedFerries); or you can fly from 99p with Ryanair, FlyBe, Aer Lingus and Aer Arran from a number of airports across UK, Ireland, the Channel Islands and Belgium.

Within walking distance of the Gite is the village bar/restaurant and only 2 miles away is the town of La Chéze with its patisserie, charcuterie, supermarket, restaurants, banks, post office and cafe.
Slightly further afield are the market towns of Loudeac (8 miles), Napoleonic Pontivy (14m) and medieval Josselin (12m) with its magnificent Chateau, historic old town and Nantes/Brest canal.
