Home description

Mimosa Cottage and Mimosa Lodge are set in 2.5 acres of land and landscaped gardens, with beautiful surrounding countryside and stunning views overlooking St Jean. Set in the small hamlet of Kervenez, both cottages exude typical Breton character with attractive features such as beautiful Breton fireplaces with log burning stoves, and old oak beams.

Approximately 3 km from the nearest village, Langonnet, has a bakery, butcher, bar/tabac, general store, chemists, restaurant/creperie, bank, post office and a small restored 12th century Norman church. Within 10 minutes drive you will find the market towns of Le Faouet and Gourin, which boast their own weekly markets, providing a greater array of facilities including supermarkets, hairdressers, and a larger selection of restaurants and cafés.

The cottages are well located for walking and off-road cycling, with back road routes available direct from the property itself. There is the opportunity for water sports (and further walking and cycling) at the nearby lake in Priziac. The historic towns of Quimper and Concarneau are only a 45 minute drive from the property, as are the renowned beautiful sandy beaches of the Southern coastline.
