Also within an hours drive you have Mont Saint Michel the 2nd most visited place in France after the Eiffel Tower. The large towns of Rennes, Dinan and Domfront are also worth a visit.

It is situated on the Brittany, Normandy border in France so you can explore both areas.
A perfect place for all the family to unwind, either by the pool or under a tree with a good book and a glass of wine.
The English owners Sandy & Barrie have converted the Longere into 4 cottages leaving in lots of the original features, like granite walls and exposed oak beams.
The cottages have been restored to provide modern conveniences whilst retaining all the charm of a typical French farmhouse. Pear tree is one of these cottages.
All the cottages are named after the fruit trees in the gardens.
