Gîte surrounded by nature and panoramic views.

Gîte Terra is a comfortable cottage situated in a small hamlet in central Finistère, 10 minutes drive from the popular town of Huelgoat. The central location makes it a perfect hub for exploring Finistère – the North, South and West coasts are all 1 hour away. Guests have their own garden and access to five hectares of attached private land with panoramic views of the Monts d’Arrée. The gîte is perfect for couples or friends travelling together, but we also welcome small families. Built on the site of fortifications dating back to before the 15th century, Le Magor is a small hamlet on the Southern edge of the Regional Parc d’Armorique in the Monts d’Arrée. Situated at the top of the South side of the Elez Valley we enjoy fantastic views, nature and wildlife. From their garden, guests will have direct access to our land, overlooking the hills and the chapel of Saint Herbot. Gîte Terra is an open plan, two floored self-catering cottage attached to a Breton longere. We've renovated it with natural materials and made it a comfortable place to be all year round. Downstairs you will find the bathroom which has a full length bath. The kitchen has plenty of work surfaces, gas cooker, electric oven and a dishwasher. The living area is set up for dining and relaxing, with a dining table, comfortable chairs and a wood burner. From the living area, French doors open onto a terrace with a large table and access to the guest garden. Your car can be parked directly in the courtyard in front of the gîte. The first floor is essentially an open plan space where tie-back drapes are used to afford some privacy. There's a double bed at one end of the space, and a single bed at the opposite end. The landing area from the stairs is between the two sleeping areas. For a small child we can provide a travel cot and high chair on request and free of charge. We welcome up to 2 dogs in the gîte at an extra fee of €5 per night - per dog. The surrounding garden and land offer plenty of possibilities to run and sniff around. You will be asked to bring your own dog bedding and pets are not allowed upstairs. Note that the dog fee does not show in your booking, but can be paid later or at arrival (allowing you to decide more last minute if you will bring your furry friend(s) - just keep us updated). As hosts we live in the same hamlet and will be there to welcome you at arrival. We are more than happy to tell you more about the property and recommend things to do and places to visit. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or inquiries, either before or during your stay. Languages spoken: English, Dutch, French À bientôt! Directly surrounding the property, as well as some very short drives away, you will be able to enjoy lovely nature walks. The area is also a joy for mountain bikers. The geographically central location of the gîte makes it the perfect base for exploring both inland and coastal Finistère in either Summer or Winter months. Finistère’s three coastlines to the North, West and South can all be reached in about an hour from Le Magor. Exploring the over 1200 kilometres of coastline that form the three peninsulas of Finistère is a true pleasure. The nearest beach is a 45 minute drive away. Driving in Finistère is a treat - the roads are quiet, the views are stunning and the landscape is constantly changing. Inland Finistère is a nature lover's treasure trove - hundreds of walking paths, the Nantes Brest canal, the statues at the Vallée des Saints, rugged hills, historic chapels and the many Neolithic menhirs and dolmens which pepper the countryside. The popular town of Huelgoat is 10 minutes down the road. Huelgoat (High Wood in Breton) is famous for its beautiful forest. You can spend hours walking the trails trough this magical place, dominated by streams, waterfalls and stunning formations of huge granite boulders. Here you will also find amenities like restaurants, bakeries, a weekly market and a supermarket.
