"Courtyard of the Mill" is in the small hamlet of Le Bas Tertrais, 8km west of the pretty, historic castle town of Combourg and approx 20km SE of the old riverside town of Dinan.

The house stands in ½ an acre of beautiful south facing gardens and orchard, with plenty of space for BBQs and outdoor games - football, badminton etc…or just relax to the sound of the neighbouring water mill which is fed by the small lake on the north side of the property but not directly accessible from the garden (safe for children).
It stands on a quiet back lane which runs between the villages – Chappelle aux Filtzmeens (2km) and Pleugueneuc (3km). C aux F has a Boulangerie/Patissiere, 2 Bars and Tabac and is a short cycle ride away – 2 bikes provided. Pleugueneuc, also an easy cycle ride away, has a small supermarket, garage, 2 bars, butchers, boulangerie and the local town hall. It’s also the home of Chateau de Bourbansais, which houses a zoo, falconry centre, walking and picnic areas. A wonderful adventure park for children from 1 - 12 years old is also nearby.
