General description
Birdsong Cottage
[mouse-over image to enlarge]
The 17th century property, originally seven cottages for the farmer, his family and workers, has been sensitively renovated over the last two years (new roof, plumbing and electricity services, double glazed doors, windows and heating) to produce both a home for the owners and a peaceful retreat for guests. The cottages are terrace built, south facing and bathed in the sun most of the day. Built of local stone with a lot of the original timbers still in place, and with the renovation works carried out under the watchful eye of an architect, everything that has been replaced has been done to strict rules to preserve the original look. The rear of the property looks out across fields, and the front over the rockery, vegetable garden, lawns, stables, walnut tree and more fields. Food and Wine are still reasonably cheap in France and what could be better than having lunch, dinner or breakfast sitting in the gardens. The gardens have been set mainly to lawns interspersed with beds of plants and flowers to help offer the correct atmosphere to relax away from the general hustle and bustle of life.
Location
This house is 12km from Fougeres on the D179 Just outside Combourtille (pronounced "com bore tee ay"). Set in the tiny hamlet of La Pellerie, mid way between Vitré & Fougeres, Birdsong Cottage is a recently restored cottage that has so much to offer those people who are looking for a break with peace and tranquility. This peaceful tiny hamlet is very quiet that is apart from the birds singing. Fougeres, Vitre, Le Mont St. Michel, St. Malo, Dinan and Dinard are within easy reach and the terrain complete with its lakes & forests is great for both walking and cycling, The owner can recommend many good restaurants both local good basic French cuisine, and if you are looking for that special time out they can recommend somewhere suitable for that as well, but never forget the local bars where a warm welcome can always be found.
Accommodation
The cottage 'Merle' has two bedrooms one with a double bed and the other with twin beds, one shower room with toilet, and the large main family areas comprising lounge, kitchen and dining area together. Within the kitchen area there is the gas cooker, Fridge and all the normal amenities and in the lounge area will be found UK television & CD player/Radio. There is also a washing machine for the use of guests.
The only difference with the other cottage 'Sittelle' is that it has only one double bedroom and a sofa bed for the third person or child.
The cottages are heated by electric wall convector heaters, which together with the double glazed windows help to contribute to an even temperature throughout.
