About the host
Hosted by Adele Pepperell
Owners Adele and Andrew bought the property 21 years ago, originally as a holiday home. After falling in love with the Breton way of life they took the plunge and moved to Brittany on a permanent basis, 17 years ago. They have renovated the main farmhouse in which they live and have converted a former cow shed into beautiful a holiday cottage. With over 30 years experience as a general builder Andrew has continued to work in Brittany. He is a keen golfer and fisherman. Adele was previously a Community Nurse but now spends her days looking after the gite, gardening and caring for their animals, which include 2 dogs and some chickens .
Why they chose this property
We bought the house in 2005. Although at the time it was in need of renovation we could see the potential it had to become a fantastic family home.
We love the countryside location. It really is a relaxing place to be!!
What makes this property unique
Our location in central Brittany makes it an ideal property, offering both the quietness of the countryside and easy access to the surrounding towns and villages.
