Situated in the picturesque Rance Valley, this traditional Breton farmhouse was built in the 1700’s and has been tastefully renovated, ensuring it retains all its unique character. The rooms are spacious and bright and there’s plenty of scope to extend the accommodation. There’s a good sized garden, a traditional cob and stone outbuilding and fabulous views across the valley.

There’s also an excellent boulangerie, which is about a 10min drive.

The coast is around 35 minutes away, with beautiful beaches and coves at places such as Saint-Briac-sur-Mer and Dinard, known for its Belle Époque charm.
