Gite description
A former 17th century watermill, set in 3 acres of landscaped gardens nestled within the heart of the Blavet Valley, famous for it's walks, wildlife, rivers with excellent fishing, golf courses and quaint country character villages. The Mill was completely renovated in 2009 and has now been converted to a 4 bedroomed/2 bathroom gite. Two of the bedrooms contain double beds, the other two contain twin beds. The mill still retains its original mill stones which make up part of the kitchen floor. The original rafters have also been retained throughout the property. As you walk into the mill to your left down a handmade oak staircase, you will find a well equipped kitchen, with larder fridge, washing machine, a gas cooker, coffee percolator, kettle and toaster. A lounge/diner is situated on the upper level and contains a wood burning stove, a Breton oak dining table which comfortably seats 8 people, 2 sofas and a window seat which overlooks the mill stream and landscaped gardens. Sometimes late in the evening you may get to spot some of the local wildlife that regularly visit - deer, foxes polecats and minx are to name but a few.
The facilities at the Moulin de Guermeur include a games room with billiards and football table, a boules court, swimming pool and BBQ area with outside furniture for 8. Close by you will find the village of Guern with it’s local bakery, 2 bars, post office and a restaurant, or in the opposite direction you will find another local village called Melrand again with a bakery, bars and restaurant. Within a 10 minute drive lies the river Blavet where you can learn canoeing or kayaking and then test out your skills on the river course, or you can simply hire a pedalo and explore the river. The river also boasts excellent carp fishing but please remember that you will need a licence which can be obtained in most sports bars or fishing tackle shops. Our mill stream also contains brown trout and you are welcome to try your luck! Nearby is an international standard golf course (Golfe de Rimaison), and the whole Blavet Valley is noted for walking, cycling and horse riding.
A Taste of France!
Although there are many restaurants in the area all within a very short driving distance from the Mill, there may be an occasion when you don't feel like driving but don't fancy cooking yourself. Having previously been restauranteurs in North Devon for 5 years and with one of us being the chef, we can create for you a Taste of France giving you the opportunity to sample local french cuisine served to you either in the Gite or weather permitting "al fresco" to enjoy the warm summer evenings. A four course meal can be prepared and served to you taken from our sample menus starting at 18 euros per person (childrens meals are also catered for obviously at a reduced price) or why not try a complete taste of france by having a wine tasting evening, sampling a selection of 4 different wines with 4 different courses to compliment the wine. You can contact us for more information on this service but a full description is provided in the welcome pack upon your arrival.
