Description
RELAX AND UNWINDYour holiday will be spent in a charming traditional Breton cottage in a courtyard setting on a 50 acre private estate which has direct frontage onto the Nantes Brest canal in central Brittany. This forms an IDEAL TOURING BASE to explore the region or just simply relax and enjoy tranquillity in the unspoilt countryside. You will have freedom to wander throughout the estate, explore the nature trails and picnic tables are provided for you to enjoy the atmosphere. Roam down the track to the fields, through the oak glade and then return along the canal towpath to your own holiday hideaway.ACCOMMODATIONThe accommodation comprises a large living area downstairs. The lounge area has an inglenook fireplace with woodburner for those cosy winter evenings. Exposed beams throughout. The well equipped kitchen has all the usual modern facilities including electric cooker, fridge and microwave. The cottage is refurbished and furnished to an excellent standard.

Each with exposed beams and original features to give your holiday that traditional cottage feel.rnrnWashing machine, tumble drier and freezer also provided.Private garden with BBQ and garden furniture. Private, undercover parking.SITUATED IN CENTRAL BRITTANYMagourou is situated just 3 kilometres from the market town of Rostrenen which is known as the crossroads of Brittany, due to it's central position. It is a well serviced town with 3 supermarkets and several restaurants/creperies/pizzerias to suit all tastes and pockets. The patisserie is one of the best in Brittany - so definitely worth a try!NANTES BREST CANALThe beautiful Nantes Brest canal forms the centrepiece of Brittany and the land which forms part of the estate of Magourou borders the canal for over half a kilometre. It creates a wonderful atmosphere of tranaquillity and is bordered by a well maintained towpath which forms a safe and picturesque cycle and walkway to enjoy at your leisure. Approx 20 kilometres from Magourou the canal flows into the Lac de Guerledan which is the largest lake in Brittany. Even nearer to hand the Lac de Glomel is only 4 kilometres away and is ideal for a family day on the beach without going to the coast. A disused railway track also runs through Rostrenen. This is now a designated cycle path which runs for 111 kilometres in both directions and is ideal for families. Birdwatching, fishing, cycling, rambling for the enthusiast or gentle strolls along the canal towpath, watersports and horseriding are all local activities. But for a day out the north, south and west coasts are all within an hour's drive from Magourou.The english owners are on hand to advise and help point you in the right direction to ensure that your stay is tailored to your requirements.SOME QUOTES FROM OUR VISITORS BOOKOne of the nicest gites we have used.
