As you approach the cottage at La Pillerie, the first you see of this very old property is the original bread oven at the side of the road, which has been retained. La Pillerie is located in the Western Loire region of France and consists of The Cottage and The Studio. Located at the end of the village of Erce en Lamee in its own vast grounds.
From either property you can gain access to the newly installed pool and the many activities that are located locally including fishing at the river the flows through the edge of the grounds (a permit is required - please contact us for details).
The Cottage has recently been redecorated to offer superb accommodation for your stay. The rounded doorway was originally built to allow the barrels containing the cider made on site to be moved through the doorway, hence the 'barrel' shape.
