An-ti Feurme Gites is a hidden gem in the beautiful Brittany countryside and are close to lots of family-friendly attractions. There are three holiday cottages (gites) in total; A five-bedroom gite, Le Pressoir, which sleeps ten and has its own private plunge pool and two, three-bedroom gites, La Grange & Gillies, sleeping seven. All three can be rented together giving accommodation for a total of 24 guests, so ideal for a large group or family celebration.
Located in seven acres of gardens there is plenty of space to explore for busy little ones. There are animals to feed (sheep & chickens) and lots of play equipment – including a Wendy house, swings & table tennis.
In the gardens you will find the lovely kidney shaped swimming pool, which is great for toddlers as it has an integral seating ledge. Around the pool are loungers with a gazebo to provide shade. If you are staying in Le Pressoir you have the choice of two pools, your private plunge pool or the larger shared pool.
The cottages are well equipped for families with the usual essentials such as cots, highchairs & stair gates and the owners are also happy to do a pre arrival shop for you – send them a list & they will do the rest!
Owners, Debbie & Steve, live on site, so are always available should you need any advice or recommendations. They are also able to help arrange babysitting, cakes, decorations and an entertainer or chef should you be on a family holiday to celebrate a special occasion.
The gites are set around a pretty courtyard with a large hanger, which can be used as a covered eating area. Perfect to socialise with other guests or for a large family get together.
There are great places to walk & cycle close by and there is a chemin rural right next door to the property if you fancy an afternoon stroll. The closest village is Guenin just 3km away with a bar & bakers for essential French bread and the closest town is Baud (7km away) when you need family food supplies. Should you tire of relaxing within the grounds there is plenty to do in Southern Brittany.
