Coet Sarre Bras - literally in Breton, large wood by the (river) Sarre, has probably existed for several hundred years. The current house, built of dressed granite has 1846 etched over the front door but the nearby 'cave' (cider store) is clearly much older as is a ruin attached to the large barn. It is likely that it was a functioning farm up until perhaps 15 -20 years ago with a grazing meadow behind the house surrounded by 40 acres or so of woodland belonging to the property. Everyone who comes to Coet comments on the tranquillity of this rural idyll. Although only 4 km from the pretty village of Melrand it is a haven of peace and quiet. The presence of the manor house next door removes any sense of total isolation. The environment is a nature lover's paradise. Deer inhabit the surrounding woods and birds of prey can often be seen circling on the thermals overhead. The cave is home to a colony of bats and a barn owl lives nearby. Foxes, red squirrels, hares and even salamanders have been spotted in the vicinity. The house itself has been extensively refurbished. It has a beautiful new country kitchen with all modern appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge, fridge freezer and oven. The huge living room is beautifully furnished, matching the original Breton furniture. The house sleeps up to 8 comfortably, in four rooms and has 3 bathrooms with 2 showers. There are plentiful games, books and maps, and a CD player.
