This quaint, 200 year old farmhouse is built of pink granite and is situated on the very edge of the village in its own prize-winning gardens, surrounded by tranquil fields of maize and artichokes. It is only 35 minutes walk along pretty countryside paths to the clean, safe, sandy beach or two minutes drive. There are 3 cottages on the site sleeping 14, 5 and 4. All have wood-burning stoves for Winter rentals. The huge garden is a children's heaven with a play-area and animals to feed. The ground floor of the big house consists of a huge, open-plan area which includes the well-equiped kitchen, dining area to seat 14, and sitting-room area. There is also a utility room with toilet, washbasin, and washing machine. The attractive open-beamed lounge area is dominated by the huge original granite fireplace with woodburning stove. All the bedrooms upstairs are nicely decorated with matching covers and curtains and the polished wooden floors have rugs.
We provide games and toys for children and outside in the enclosed garden we have a play area with swings and climbing frame, a small football pitch, and our animals which the children love to feed... three rabbits, a goat, chickens, ducks and small black sheep.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1992
We came to France in 1992 to renovate a ruined farm complex. We have been running our gîtes successfully for 13 years and now also win the village "Jardin fleuri" prize almost every year for our beautiful garden.
Why the Owner Chose Plougasnou
We chose this area because it is still unspoilt by tourism. The coastal path along the rugged cliffs gives spectacular views alonG the coast;
The Unique Benefits of this Farmhouse

We stayed in the Long House during the last two weeks of August 2009. There were six adults and five children under seven years old. We found the facilities in the property to be ideal and it was good that we could leave the youngsters to roam the gardens as there was very little that they could harm themselves with. The problem was usually with each other. They all loved feeding the rabbits and eating the raspberries which were beginning to ripen (sorry Debby). Debby was always available for advice when we needed it. The single large room downstairs was good as we could keep an eye on the children while preparing food. In the evening the only sounds to be heard were those self inflicted following the compulsory glasses due to the French wine taken between the children's bedtime and ours. A morning visit to the bread shop next to the supermarket was compulsory (it opens at 0700) and the Casino supermarket was also handy. If we visit again we would have planned the food shopping a little better and used the Le Clerc in Morlaix as the meat is substantially cheaper there. The Tuesday visit to the market is compulsory as you can buy huitres (oysters) for about £3.50 a dozen. There is a stubby knife in the kitchen drawer to enable you to get them opened up. We would not hesitate to use Kerdalidec again or recommend it to others.

28 October - 4 November 2007 in the Wellhouse.......Very enjoyable week blessed with almost non-stop sunshine. Debby was immensely helpful and welcoming. Highlights include: - Coastal walks north from Térénez at sunset, - Jazz concert and drinks at the café/bookshop Caplan & Co on the coast near Beg an Fry, - A walk in the woods at Huelgoat where my daughter went for an involuntary, impromptu bathe, fully clothed, while attempting to cross a river, - Guerlesquin, atmospheric village with an austere, granitic charm, - Locquirec, with its picture-postcard prettiness and slight whiff of high society, - Sunset walks at Carantec beach under a dramatic sky, the sea dotted with myriad rocks and islands, the darkness pierced by the lighthouse on the Isle de Batz, - Tuesday market at Plougasnou, convivial atmosphere, good produce, - The night sky.

The 2 weeks here have fulfilled the high expectations of all concerned from the youngest 17 months, a toddler and two young pre-schoolers to the older children (also known as parents) as well as a highly tolerant friend without children. Positives for those with under-5s - Garden with great selection of climbing frames and animals to commune with - Beaches with sand a great rock pools which are perfect for toddlers who like to potter around and the older ones who like to go crabbing and just generally explore - Strong possibility of the other houses having children too so as to entertain your children - Polo the donkey Positives for the adults - Walk to the boulangerie for that ultimate French breakfast - Excellent dining facilities al fresco and within Recommendations - Le Diben to see the working side of Plougasnou and the fishing boats (also buy fresh fish and seafood) - Great chees in Plestin les Grèves Sunday market - Watching shooting stars - To entertain your children try stuffing the soft animals into the rafters! - Looking forward to our return stay in August 2006.

Brittany was full of unexpected pleasures. We adore the house and garden and appreciated the hospitality of Debby and Phil. The walk to St Jean du Doigt was a favorite. The four artists in our group were very succesful with their work and held a little exhibition at the end of the week to which all the other guests were invited. We liked the wine store on the corner. If you fail to enjoy some muscadet with local oysters or shrimps then you shouldn't have bothered to come! The beaches are amazing, so incredibly unspoilt. Everything tastes better here too...yogurt, chocolate, Breton cookies, beets really everything. Nice diversity of birds. The donkey across the lane makes amusing noises. We are so glad we came and we leave healthier and happier with better moods and better tans. We hope to come again. Nan, Ben, Truman Utah USA Victoria, Tod Medford OR USA PS Don't miss Tonguedec Castle (11th century, well preserved) and the Pink Granite coast.
