Situated in the hamlet of Kergoff, close to the Village of Caurel in the heart of Brittany, Lake Cottage was built around 1900. The cottage benefits from secure parking and has a private, south facing garden offering you views over the hamlet to the countryside beyond.
Hidden away off the main street of the quiet village (up a dead end lane of only around 12 houses) the cottage is easy to pass by without seeing it! Once you go around to the front of the property, the garden and view open up.
Inside you will find two bedrooms, the master bedroom having a double bed and the second being a triple sleeper with a double bed below and a single on top.
The cottage has a comfortable lounge with a granite fireplace and tiled floor. The kitchen is well equipped with cooker, fridge, microwave and a washing machine.
The cottage is close to a cycle path that runs from Carhaixl to the small town of Mur du Bretagne. To reach the cycle path, go up the lane for about 400m, then branch off up a path for about 100m. The track goes for around 15 km to Mur de Bretagne in one direction and 45km in the other direction, with one short break, to Carhaix.
The nearest restaurants are an easy and pleasant 1km walk from Lake Cottage along the edge of the lake that gives the cottage it's name.
Lake Cottage is only 500m from the Lac de Guerledan with its beaches, safe swimming and wide variety of water-sport, including water skiing. There are no parking or launching fees at the lake. Bring your own speed boat!
Lac de Guerledan comprises 440 hectares of water that can be enjoyed by all. Speedboats and jet skis are allowed, as well as canoes and sailing boats. The two safe beaches are ideal for swimming and for children to play on.
The lake itself is a masterpiece of engineering leading off to the Nantes Brest Canal on both sides and feeding a massive hydro-electric system. Tourists are well catered for and there are man made beaches such as Anse de Sordan, equipped with a very safe children's play area as well as picnic areas.
For the more adventurous, Beau Rivage offers a lively night life, beaches, water sports and other activities. There are good restaurants for families offering good value entertainment like pedaloes, crazy golf, etc. There are plenty of activities to keep the children safe and out of mischief.
The whole lake area is surrounded by the Quenecan Forest, which is privately owned by the Count (locally known as Jacques). Even on a busy day, the lake can hide the tourists and - remaining a natural area - there are wild boar, not that you will see them.
It is an area that can never be developed and will never be spoilt. Although privately owned, the Count has allowed pathways to be cleared through the forest, making it a walker's paradise, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet. Hundreds of walks are available and you can always find quiet paths to avoid other people.
To get to the lake, it is down the lane, turn right at the bottom follow the lane around. Turn left past two ponds and follow the lane to the lake, this is about 600m away.
The Brest/Nantes canal is about 2 miles away (it runs into and out of the lake). The lake paths connect to it. The tow path is flat and suitable for walking and cycling.
