| The Farmhouse - Chateaubriant Vacation Rentals Loire Vacation Lodging |
Welcome to Hirondelle Farm, the ultimate in self catering French holiday homes, open all year, including Christmas and New Year! If you are looking for a really clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped gite to rent in France, you have found it!
Set in the beautiful Western Loire only 6Km from the walled historic town of Chateaubriant, Hirondelle Farm nestles in the hamlet of Le Perray surrounded by peaceful fields of corn-on-the-cob and sunflowers. Whilst nearby properties (we have 11 neighbours) are owned by local French residents, Hirondelle Farm is owned and occupied by Dave and Doreen Joyner, formerly of Bournemouth, UK.
The village of Saint Aubin des Chateaux, with its picturesque riverside picnic area, is less than a kilometer from the farm. The town of Chateaubriant is a scenic bicycle ride of about 6 kilometers. The ferry port of Saint Malo is less than a two hour drive through some of the most beautiful parts of Brittany en route to the Western Loire.
The area is famous for the fishing available in local lakes, rivers and canals. Carp, Roach, Pike and Mullet are some of the most popular catches.
The lovely French towns of Rennes, Angers, Laval, Nantes and St Nazaire are within an hour's drive from the Farm. As are the beaches at La Baule and St Brevin.
The gite has been tastefully renovated and offers very comfortable, self catering, holiday accommodation. The renovated FarmHouse has retained all the original French character with exposed beams and woodburning stoves. The property has its own private gardens, including 5.5 metre pool surrounded by timber decking. There is also a patio and BBQ, and parking facilities. We also offer free bicycle loan to our guests. Please note that although we welcome families with children we regret we cannot accept animals.
Living on site, we will welcome you when you arrive and can always be on hand to recommend a restaurant, or the best shopping centres, but we will respect your privacy at all times.
In the gite we supply a welcome pack to all our guests of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, and a bottle of local wine just in case you arrive late in the day.
