Why this part of Brittany… Try tasting the local cider and following the cider route, which weaves its way through the Normandy and Brittany countryside. Many of them welcome visitors and offer guided tours of the cellars and have tasting’s. While here try our own cider its delicious. Calvados is a fine distilled spirit, it is the final destiny of the apple. The age of a good calvados is important, at least 20 years old is best. Pommeau is Normandy’s own aperitif and is made from a mixture of cider and calvados. Many freshly made cheeses are a speciality of the area, and can be sampled in all the local markets and supermarkets. There is a cheese farm 10 mins away that has open days twice a week in July & August. Freshly baked bread and delicious cakes are abundant in the patisseries and local boulangeries. Pancakes are Brittany’s famous speciality and come in two varieties. Crepes which are made with a batter of wheat flour and usually have a sweet filling, and Galettes which are made with buckwheat flour and contain a savoury filling, usually a huge sausage. They can be bought at any local market and the many creperies. We are sure you will enjoy your stay in this beautiful part of Brittany, which is so near to the Normandy border. A gastronomic delight and a sightseeing paradise, and don’t forget the kid's there are loads on offer for them as well. St Malo - An old Port with a walled town full of seafood restaurants, souvenir shops and pedestrian ramparts that offer fantastic views of the port and the miles of sandy beaches. Cancale - A small picturesque fishing town, famous for its oysters and seafood, plus there are some wonderful walks along rugged coastal paths. Mont St Michel - The 8th wonder of the world. A magnificent abbey perched on an island joined to the mainland by a causeway. The abbey stands above a village, which is full of shops and restaurants, it is spectacular at night. Rennes - The capital of Brittany, The beautiful 17th century Palais de Justice and medieval Place des Lices (Jousters Square) are well worth a visit for the half-timbered buildings. Dinan - A medieval stronghold overlooking the exceptional Vallée de la Rance, Dinan is undeniably one of the most exquisite cities of Brittany. Still entirely surrounded by its ramparts, it has belfries, churches, convents, timbered houses and narrow streets disclosing their secrets as you go along. Fougeres - Overlooking vast green countryside Fougeres has retained all of the grandeur of it's glorious past. The 12th century Chateau was an outpost of medieval Brittany and one well worth a visit. | |

| Description |
| Cherry Tree is one of four cottages siuated at La Basse Rouerie in Melle. An idyllic location with views over undulating fields.
The ground floor is open plan with lounge, kitchen and dining area so Mum does not feel left out of the holiday while in the kitchen. It is a bright and airy room, with 3 large picture windows overlooking the front and back gardens and has exposed oak beams. The comfortable lounge/ dining area has a stone and oak fireplace with a wood burner. There are two 3 seater sofas, a CTV, DVD player and Hifi, plus a large oval dining table seating 6. The well equipped kitchen area has a washing machine, gas cooker, fridge, microwave and all the usual electrical equipment. On the 1st floor there is a shower room and 3 bedrooms, 2 large double bedrooms and a bedroom with bunk beds both have granite walls and exposed oak beams. The bedrooms have electric heating for the winter and the shower room has a heated towel rail. There is a separate patio at the side of the cottage with garden furniture, sun canopy and a BBQ. Whilst we consider our accommodation to be child friendly, good parental supervision should be shown at all times. There are two and a half acres of safe gardens with views over farmland. The communal patio area has a brick BBQ, the ideal place for parents to get to know one another, while the children play. We have had many an enjoyable evening with a BBQ and a few drinks. The heated above ground pool is made of teak to fit in with the surroundings in the orchard. The pool is open from May - September. The gardens are the ideal place to relax by the pool, have a picnic under a tree, or just sit and read a good book while drinking a glass a wine. There is a 14ft trampoline with safety nets, badminton, swings, boules, swing ball, football net, and basketball in the gardens, along with numerous games. In the covered veranda there is table soccer, table tennis and a darts board. The gardens are large and safe enough for children to play. Down the lane there is an 18 km Patrimoine walk through lovely countryside. Bikes can be hired by the day or week and are delivered and collected from your door. SPECIAL OFFER: There is a 100€ discount on all remaining weeks in September. |
