Description
La Belle Maison is a traditional Breton detached cottage that has been upgraded to provide the comforts expected of a modern self-catering holiday home without losing the character of the property.
Situated in its own south-west facing mature garden, the cottage benefits from views over the surrounding countryside to the distant forest in the west; the sunsets are wonderful!
There is a terraced outdoor dining area with hardwood furniture and built-in barbeque with herb planters either side; the remainder of the garden is grassed with mature flowering shrub borders, cherry, apple and oak trees.
A few easy steps up to the cottage entrance where the single level accommodation opens off a wide hallway.
There is a dual aspect kitchen-diner with ample cooking equipment to ensure guests can self-cater year round.
The separate sitting room has 2 comfortable 2 seater sofas, a pouffee, coffee table and woodburner.
Both bedrooms enjoy good views, ample storage space and original chestnut parquet floors, the beds are all 2m long.
The shower room has a spacious vanity unit with mirror above, shower cubicle and wc.
The small friendly market town of Plessala is just 4km away, and there are several larger towns within a 15km radius.

We had a wonderful stay at La Belle Maison, what a great place to have our vacation. Loved every minute of it, gite was excellent and well equipped. Garden was great for kids to play in and also nice to relax and read a book in the shade. The BBQ was a bonus. Lots of activities to do close by and found a great beach thanks to Penny. The four of us had a great vacation thank you for the hospitality and warm welcome. 2/8/22 Jeroen, Wies, Aafke & Josje (Rotterdam)
Lovely, cosy cottage at a great location and lovely places to visit nearby. We had a really good time. 26/9/21 Corine & Bert (Leiden)
One week was too short, so nice and relaxing with beautiful flora and woods. Easy trip to la roche des cerf and more to make. Brittany's coastline within an hour and fantastic city's. Penny; you were so kind and helpful. Oh and btw: the cottage was lovely, complete and cosy.
Thanks! 27/7/21 Joyce & Peter (Herde)
We can only agree with all of the previous comments.
Ray and Penny could not have been more helpful especially since l had an issue with the car which they sorted out quickly with a good local garage and securing a hire car from them to use whilst they fixed the problem.
We have brought home many lovely memories of our stay in La Belle Maison. Great hosts, great gite, great location with lovely places to visit within easy reach all with fantastic restaurants. What's not to like.??? 23/9/19 George & Margaret (Stoke-on-Trent)
We had a lovely time at La Belle Maison and thanks for all the help and suggestions during our stay including the very reasonably priced local electric bike hire -we covered about 29 miles - a great day out. 14/11/17 Richard & Maggie (Guernsey)
We had a wonderfull time, what a lovely and comfortable house with beautiful garden. Lot's of nice places in the area to go to for walking or cycling or go to the beach. 10/9/17 Paulien & Peter (Belgium)
Nice and quiet country gite, the way we like it. The house was very clean and we felt welcome thanks to Penny. The only downside was that we booked for a short period! 20/8/17 David (Belgium)
Lovely, picturesque well furnished and welcoming, Penny and Ray are wonderful hosts La Belle Maison is a warm and comfortable home away from home, visiting in the middle of winter it is a joy to return after visiting the many wonderfull sites in Brittany. We highly recomend and hope to return in the near future. 24/2/17 Glynn & Suz (Australia)
A beautiful comfortable cottage in a peaceful area of Brittany. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need. In the words of Tina Turner simply the best, better than all the rest. We have booked a return stay to further explore what Brittany has to offer. 25/7/16 Brian & Yvonne (Cornwall)
