Lovely B&B in Petite Cite de Caractere

In the middle of a beautiful 'Petite Cite de Caractere' in the lovely and easily accessible Mayenne region of France, our imposing Maison is conveniently placed for relaxing, walking or exploring the local sights. the Chateaux of the Loire are also a short drive away and many other local attractions are nearby, including the lovely town of Mayenne and its river & the bustling City of Laval. We have 2 lovely & seperate rooms available with their own modern bathrooms. We are lovingly renovating the house and have restored many original features. We have 2 private bedrooms that are charmingly decorated and and although we have tried to keep the character & charm of the old building, each bedroom has it's own private & modern bathroom. The bathrooms have been renovated and are of a clean & modern standard. We supply continental breakfast included in the price which can be served in the breakfast/dining room or on the Terrace (weather permitting) We are also able to supply evening meals 'en famille' at your request (with notice) the bedrooms are upstairs and each bedroom has access to it's own modern & private bathroom. The breakfast/dining area is downstairs and has a tv and comfy couch available morning and evenings. The kitchen is not accessible due to health and safety but there are tea and coffee making facilities in each room and Gill & Wayne will be happy to supply specialist coffee and tea, sandwiches and cakes during the day, by arrangement. Evening meals can be booked at an extra charge and are eaten 'en famille' given notice of course. Wayne & Gill will be happy to help with any queries or information you may require and are happy to supply directions to the various sights in the area. We can be as on site or as discreet as you prefer! We are in the middle of the village with the Mairie directly opposite, it is a small village so usually quiet, although the fabulous Eglise Notre Dame is practically next door and does have a bell! It is worth a look around as it has some beautiful stained glass windows and interesting architecture. 10 minutes walk away there is a Coccimarket (small supermarket) for all your shopping needs and bread, wine cheese etc. Across the road from our house there is a very good restaurant, Voyageurs it is approx 15E for a 3 course meal with wine lunchtime. Nellie's Creperie and bar is 2 minutes walk away and is lovely for a crepe and a cup of local cider at the weekend. There is also a very good takeaway pizza van on Wednesday nights. There is a local market for BIO produce on a Friday night including cheese, honey, wine, cider and beer , vegetables and bread. The cashpoint is 2 minutes in the other direction (up the road). The A1 trout River Ernee runs through the village and you can buy a fishing license and fish practically next door to our house! Freinds of ours have also used a kayak on the river. There are numerous places to sit and enjoy the River & the beautiful scenery. There are also numerous walks around the village some are flat and easy, others can be challenging! The chateau Clivoy is a 20 minute walk away and it's gardens are open in the high season. Ernee is the nearest local town with shopping and restaurants . Mayenne, about half an hour away is a charming town with lots of sights, a chateau/ museum, river boats, shopping & restaurants a plenty. Laval is the biggest local town about 25 minutes away by car, it is a bustling place with the usual nightlife and a large shopping centre. The centre is ancient and very interesting. The ancient city and castle at Fougeres is only 40 minutes drive away. We are also well placed for travel to the beaches in Normandy and Brittany including Mont St Michel (about an hour and 20 minutes away) Parking is in the village square opposite it is a quiet and safe area with local's cars. The nearest airport is Rennes which is just over an hour away. The next nearest airport is Dinard which is an hour and 20 minutes away. There are taxis available to book, around and about but this area is quite remote and there are only 2 buses per day, so a car is pretty much neccessary if you want to travel , however you can explore the village and surroundings on foot if you just want to relax and take in the Ambience! it is also a great area to explore by bike. We have a space to park your bike at the rear of the property or it can be chained to our railings during the day. There can be occasional noise from tractors passing through the village particularly at harvest time.
