About this property

Lovely Country Home & Garden

Flexible * ANYDAY to ANYDAY * changeover for low midweek ferry fares and flight options, subject to availability

This popular 2 bedroomed (1 double, 1 twin) country home offers a peaceful and comfortable haven for you to return to after exploring the beautiful area surrounding La Roche Bernard and is perfectly placed for visiting the sandy beaches, fantastic coves and many inland attractions of South Brittany.

Nestling in rural France, between the market towns of Redon and La Roche Bernard, the well-equipped gite of les Chenes is on the edge of the historic village of Sainte Anne and is part of a traditional Breton farmhouse, with 2 foot thick granite stone walls under a slate roof.

The cottage of lesChênes offers a lovely base to explore from, but with its pretty south facing garden you may just want to stay 'home'.
lesChênes is in an area of mixed woodland, cider apple orchards and farmland and is 5 minutes from the Vilaine River and only 20 minutes from Brittany's south coast.

les Chênes is privately owned and is ideal for holidays or as a house-hunting base, while you search this beautiful area for a cottage of your own.

Private off road parking
free unlimited (pretty reliable) WiFi

Gas, electricity and water included
lounge with large Breton fireplace and log burner
UK satellite television, dvd, freeWiFi

For your peace of mind (and ours) the gite of ‘les Chênes' is equipped with smoke alarms and fire extinguisher.

Quiétude!

Un gîte très agréable et parfaitement équipé; literie très confortable, notamment. Environnement calme et accueil très chaleureux. Seul petit bémol/détail: les escaliers sont un peu raides. Un très agréable séjour!

Juste parfait

Mel est faite pour le contact humain avec son grand sourire et ses gestes amicaux. Elle est soucieuse de notre bien être accompagnée de son mari. La maison à elle seule vous invite à rester. Seul problème… notre séjour était trop court. ♥️ Merci également Mel pour ce fou rire que j’ai eu dans la voiture en repensant à vous à quatre pattes pour tenir votre chien afin qu’il ne parte pas avec nous.

Un accueil parfait et un gîte idéal pour une escapade aux portes de la Bretagne

Ces quelques jours passés chez Melaney nous ont permis de nous ressourcer et de profiter des environs avec l’assurance de pourvoir nous réchauffer auprès du poêle après une bonne randonnée! A tester sans hésiter

Why they chose this property

We were so fortunate this property came up for sale just as we narrowed our search to this lovely area. We'd admired the house in passing, but it was not on the market, then ~ the ' A VENDRE' board went up.... right place, right time!

What makes this property unique

Country living but close to so many amenities/locations/attractions. Only an hour to Brittany's capital Rennes, also Vannes & Nantes in under an hour, less than an hours flight to UK, two and a half hours on the train to be in Paris. A world renowned golf club 10 minutes away, more restaurants than are good for you! 20 minutes drive to stunning coast ......
