About this property

Beautifully renovated cottage in a historic town…can take 6 guests!


Petit Guemene is a stunning example of a renovated cottage with authentic beams and exposed stonewalls, happily filled with full home comforts, loaded brocante charm and a stone-walled outside courtyard. Not a spare, minimalist, rental environment!

This self-catering cottage is central to Guemene Sur Scorff, a town full of ancient Breton history, and located in the southern province of Morbihan, the warmest part of Brittany.
Surrounded by the classified villages of the historic Pays de Roi Morvan, the ancient kingdom of the Breton kings, there is so much to explore: amazing 13th and 14th century churches, weekly village markets, restaurants and creperies, convenient banks and supermarkets on your doorstep.
And, only a short 45 minute drive, gives you access to glorious beaches, oyster farms, coastal hiking pathways and artist-loved seaside villages.

Petit Guemene offers the best of both worlds…positioned midst authentic ancient towns, and with easy access to the coast. Holiday activities are beyond numerous!

The cottage is on a quiet side street in this ancient market town which was the seat of the noble Rohan family in the Middle Ages. It's a 5 minute walk to patisseries, boulangeries, a substantial supermarket with a great wine selection, restaurants and banks, ATM's. Market day is Thursday.

Completely renovated from top to bottom, with full care for the ancient and crooked exposed wooden beams, gorgeous Chestnut wooden floors and exposed interior stone walls, the house also had a modern kitchen, a shower bathroom (no toilet - its on the floor above) a separate powder room and a generous bath-tub bathroom (with a loo) - all areas are equipped with electric radiant heating (included in your rental)

There are enough beds for 6 adults with 2 separate bedrooms as well as 2 single bed alcove beds with quality mattresses, linens and duvets. There is a washing machine on the lower garden level and drying racks for use in the sunny courtyard

THE MAIN FLOOR: as you enter the street-level floor, you will find a bright and sunny open plan living room, dining room and compact kitchen layout. A ‘rescued’ oak table expands to easily seat 6, the windows open above the enclosed rear garden, for your private use. Comfy sofa and chairs, FREE wifi TV and Cd player are there for you to use.
There is an updated powder room with its own hand basin on this floor as well.

THE KITCHEN: With exposed wooden beams, Chestnut floor and a boutique size, the kitchen is nonetheless very well equipped: 4 burner gas stove, electric oven, full size fridge and freezer, microwave, coffeemaker and lots and lots of utensils, pots ’n pans and dining service!

UPPER FLOOR: The main bedroom shows off the original stone walls, has a beautifully renovated double bed and its own skylight to let in the morning sunshine. Furnished with a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, seating and bedside tables.
Across the hall on this floor is a spacious bath-tub bathroom and toilet with a hand-hold shower.
Also on this level is a single bed tucked into an alcove on the landing, with its own skylight.

LOWER, GARDEN FLOOR: Gorgeous fireplace bedroom with 2 single beds that can be joined to make a double. French door open onto the dual patio courtyard to catch the sun or shade!
A full-size shower, hand basin and washing machine are in the bathroom on this level.
Tucked into an alcove across from the bathroom is another antique single sleigh bed

OUTSIDE: A lovely private walled garden with 2 separate patios to chase the sun!
The exterior shed holds the tables and garden furniture for the garden, 4 bicycles to go exploring and a BBQ for an indulgent evening!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Ahrens

Host profile image
I'm a Canadian gal just potty enough about Brittany, its people, way of life and authentic community values to buy an ole wreck and completely renovate it, while preserving the best of exposed beams, glorious Chestnut flooring and stone walls!
Summer rented for 10 years, most guests have enjoyed the besy of both worlds in staying in the cottage - ancient history as well as coastal delights!

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located on a quiet side street in the ancient market town of Guemene sur Scorff, which was the seat of the noble Rohan family in the Middle Ages. It's a 5 minute walk to patisseries, boulangeries, a substantial supermarket with a great wine selection, restaurants and banks, ATM's. Market day is Thursday. Wonderful mix of history, comfort and areas to explore!
The house has a garden with 2 seating areas to catch the sunshine and an enclosed walled space, quite unusual in a village.

What makes this property unique

Careful renovation creates cosy open spaces. A village with all the amenities you could want. Wonderful cycling to nearby villages or along the canals - 4 bikes provided. Guemene is great central location to access the best of medieval Brittany - BUT the coast about 45 mins away!
A Welcome Basket and quality linens and towels and a house starter pack are provided with a cleaning service on your departure.
