La Maison Magique - the House
Comfortably accommodates up to 10 people
La Maison Magique is a traditional stone-built Breton farmhouse which retains its original atmosphere and features with beautiful fireplaces, wooden floors and ceilings, a spacious ground floor furnished terrace and first floor balcony. Set within well maintained communal gardens with lots of lawned area and trees and bordering the river towpath, the house and the gites are fully equipped with their own barbecues. There is also a paved furnished garden terrace with a communal barbecue for those guests who might enjoy mixing with their fellow holidaymakers. On the ground floor there is a well equipped kitchen, traditionally furnished dining room (seats up to 12 people), large comfortable lounge with wood-burner, french doors leading to the sun terrace, English satellite TV/video/DVD, and internet access (if required). There is a downstairs loo/cloakroom. On the first floor there is a large en-suite double bedroom overlooking the gardens, a double bedroom with cot or extra bed, a family room with double and two single beds and a bedroom with bunk beds, the latter two rooms with access to the balcony. There is a fully equipped family bathroom. The balcony is furnished with tables and chairs and captures the morning sun.
La Maison Magique is situated in over one and a half acres of delightful gardens leading down through a shaded woodland of poplars and fruit trees to the meandering River Blavet, famed as the best carp river in Europe. Just a gentle stroll along the towpath takes you to either tranquil meadows and woodland or an ice cold "pression" by the river in one of the welcoming riverside village bars or restaurants, as well as the many other attractions of the village.
The activities at La Maison Magique include the large swimming pool with plentiful sunbeds, and a poolside bar, crazy golf, boules court and a children's play area. We have over 40 bicycles for hire on the premises (including tandems, childrens trailer buggies and mountain bikes), a games area featuring pool, table tennis, games, videos, books, DVD's, and fishing rods, and our own boat.
Close by is an excellent local canoeing and kayaking club where you can learn to test your skills through the river course, or take it easy and hire out a pedalo to explore the river between the locks.
Within easy reach there is a selection of renowned international standard golf courses, beautiful, safe and sandy beaches, water sports on the nearby lake (the largest in Brittany), and superb fishing on the river and surrounding lakes. The Blavet Valley and surrounding area is also noted for walking, cycling and horse-riding.
