  Description

  Six years ago Steve and I came to live in Brittany from the UK. We live in a farmhouse (c1800) and have a two-bedroomed gite in our garden of 4,500sqm. We love our animals and have two amazing dogs (Rudi and Sacha), a cat (TC), 4 chickens and 2 goats. The house and gite are situated at the end of a farm track and we are surrounded by fields and countryside. Although we are surrounded by countryside we are only 8km by car from the local town of Bégard which offers a supermarket, boulangeries, pharmacies and a weekly market. Lannion and Guingamp are a short distance away with mainline railway stations.
  
  We are very busy during the summer months with gite bookings, We are qualified English teachers and are a host family to students wishing to take a week long course in English.
