Henry and Ruth live with Frodo their Labrador in a special part of Brittany bordering Normandy. A country lane at the front of their home lends a romantic view of Mont St Michel. We would like to share this idyllic place with you and provide the perfect base for a relaxing break, a family holiday or an activity break. Set in 2 acres of land, our home was originally built as farm buildings for the chateau in La Rue in the 1700’s. Although not a working farm now, we have some livestock and are planning to develop a fruit and vegetable garden in 2008. A Relaxing Break We are open all year for a relaxing break away from it all. Come for a long weekend or a mid-week break. Family Holidays We offer the perfect escape for families, with chickens and sheep to entertain you at home and a huge choice of things to do in the area.
