Very comfy home and quiet neighbourhood. Great rear garden sitting areas and bbq! Horbury has all that you would require for your stay. Great pubs and restaurants. Supermarket conveniently next block. Easy drive to the Dales. York is only a short train ride and well worth a visit. We enjoyed our short stay very much! Thanks Anne and Andrew =))

Read More...We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Anne and Andrew's fabulous chateau (aka Gîte) in the Brittany France countryside near the historic town of Josslyn. It is a beautiful and spacious comfortable home with all the amenities one would need. Quiet and peaceful would be the best way to describe our stay. The nearby Midieval town of Josslyn is an amazing community to visit, enjoy the sights, castle and of course wonderful restaurants. A car is a must here as there are many things to do and see. We especially enjoyed our trip to the coast to walk about the red granite rock formations and historic beaches. Although we had a car, we were allowed to use the bicycles at the Gîte and did several tours in the surrounding area! A bit cold in late September, we still warmed to the local foods to warm our tummies! All in all this stay was one of our most treasured 2019 memories !

Beskrivelse af omegn
Pesnel is a hamlet of 9 houses. There are two farms and we have French and English neighbours. It’s very peaceful and in the heart of the French countryside and on the perimeter of la foret du Lanouée, a huge working forest. The small village of Lanouée is nearby where there is a cafe & small shop. The pretty medieval town of Josselin is a short drive of 10 minutes (7km )away and has a Saturday market and a romantic castle overlooking the Nantes -Brest canal. There are restaurants and cafe situated around a lovely square overlooking the church as well as shops and supermarkets. The beautiful medieval city of Vannes and Brittany's capital, Rennes are within easy reach. Close by is the town of Ploërmel (20K) where you will find the Lac au Duc , great for a walk , cycling or water sports and a 9 hole golf course. . Both the north and south coast of Brittany are beautiful and easily reached.

Vores lokale tips for muligheder, steder at besøge, mens du er i vor bolig
Close by in Josselin you can stroll or cycle along the Nantes-Brest canal but most of Brittany is reachable by car in about 2 hours. Our favourite places include Vannes where you can take a short ferry ride to some of the islands in the Golfe du morbihan or from Port Blanc you cross to the Isle aux moins and hire bikes to explore the island. The cote sauvage on the Quiberon peninsular has a beautiful cliff top walk with a great seafood cafe ,le vivier. The walled towns of St Malo & Concarneau are delightful. Dinan is not far away, a lovely medieval town with a great market and a river , Auray also has a fantastic market. There is so much to see and do.
