Domaine de Linguinou - The Little House

The open-plan living area has lots of original features, painted stone, wooden beams and plenty of character with deep-set windows, wooden shutters, tailor-made doors and a curved staircase in solid oak. Cosy up on a large sofa or in one of the reading chairs and enjoy the birdsong if it’s dull, or on balmy days stretch out on sun loungers on your own terrace or in the grassy orchard.

The kitchen is sleek, modern and well-equipped and you’ll find local cider, pancakes and good jams – enough for a snack on the evening you arrive. Upstairs is a simple bedroom with a sloping ceiling and the bed under the highest point – it feels like a little hideaway. The en suite shower room is super shiny and the loo is hidden behind a wall – there’s an extra loo downstairs.

Book a slot in the hot tub on the decking, admire the potager with soft fruits, ask Jean-Pierre to accompany you to the Saturday market in Morlaix – he knows the best stalls.
