"Les Quatre Cles"
Gascaigne,
44290
Guemene Penfao
France

Les Quatre Cles is a longere that was once part of a
farm complex but is now the idyllic location for 2 lovely renovated gites.
Situated off a quiet country lane in the Don valley, the two gites have
been created in the restored building to provide all your creature comforts
for a wonderfully relaxed self-catering holiday in a tranquil but not
isolated location. The gites are set in a large garden with plenty of space
for sunbathing and this year half our field is now grassed over for guest
use as a recreational area. Outside
each gite there is a paved patio separated by
trellis fencing for privacy with a BBQ and a wooden picnic table with
parasol. As the property is not totally enclosed, young children would need
to be supervised.
The gites
benefit from a large library of DVDs, books and indoor games for less
clement weather as well as outdoor games; we have now added
table tennis and a boules pitch for your entertainment as well
as other bat/ball equipment. These are all available for
guests free of charge. We also have 2 all terrain bikes, available for hire
at a reasonable daily or weekly rate, as well as 2 ladies shoppers free for
popping into town to get those fresh morning croissants. We also provide bedding, linen, tea
towels, towels if requested and a large array of cleaning products, loo
& kitchen rolls, bin bags, laundry detergent & softener, condiments
- in fact all the things you don't want to buy a stock of just for a
holiday. We try to go the extra kilometre so that you won't have to. |
La Glycine
|

|
La glycine (Wisteria) is the first and larger of the two gites, whether a
full on BBQ or just a glass of wine while listening to the birdsong in the
evening, you can just feel the stress melting away. The thick stone walls
make it a cool place in summer and a cozy retreat
in winter. |

The newly extended cottage is detached and stands in an acre of land, there is a large patio area leading into the garden and it contains a bench seat, picnic table, BBQ, an ornamental well and washing line. Sun loungers are also provided. The large garden is not fully enclosed so children will need supervision. Also for this reason we do not allow dogs as there are many farms in the vicinity. |
