the tiny hamlet of La Pellerie mid way between Vitré &
Fougeres Birdsong Cottage is a recently restored cottage that has
so much to offer those people who are looking for a break with peace
and tranquility. This peaceful tiny hamlet is very quiet that is apart
from the birds singing. Hence the name of this cottage 'Birdsong Cottage'.

Vitre, Le Mont St. Michel, St. Malo, Dinan and Dinard are within easy
reach and the terrain complete with its lakes & forests is great
for both walking and cycling, The owner can recommend many good restaurants

special time out they can recommend somewhere suitable for that as well,
but never forget the local bars where a warm welcome can always be found.
Description
The
17th century property (originally seven cottages for the farmer, his
family and workers.) has been sensitively renovated over the last two
years, [new roof, plumbing and electricity services, double glazed doors,
windows and heating.] to produce both a home for the owners and a peaceful
retreat for their guests.
The
cottages are terrace built, south facing and bathed in the sun most
of the day. Built as they are of local stone with a lot of the original
timbers still in place, and with the renovation works carried out under
the watchful eye of an architect, everything that has been replaced
has been done to strict rules to preserve the “local” look.
The rear of the property looks out across fields, and the front over
the rockery, vegetable garden, lawns, stables, walnut tree and more
fields. Food and Wine are still reasonably cheap in France and what
could be better than having lunch, dinner or breakfast sitting in the
gardens. This house is 12km from Fougeres on the D179 Just outside Combourtille
Pronounced "com bore tee ay"!
The
gardens have been set mainly to lawns interspersed with beds of plants
and flowers to help offer the correct atmosphere to relax away from
the general hustle and bustle of life.
Accommodation
The
cottage has two bedrooms one with a double bed and the other with twin
beds, one shower room with toilet, and the large main family areas of
lounge/kitchen/dinner together, Within the kitchen area there is the
gas cooker, Fridge and all the normal amenities & in the lounge
area will be found UK television & CD player/Radio, . There is also
a washing machine for the use of our guests. The only difference with
the other cottage is that it has only one double bedroom and a sofa
bed for the third person or child.
The house is heated by electric wall convector heaters, which together
with the double glazed windows help to contribute to an even temperature
throughout.
During
June-July-August there is a swimming / splash pool for the use of our
guests.
