Welcome to Le Moulin de Guermeur - Pontivy, 56
Welcome to Le Moulin de Guermeur - a recently renovated 17th Century Watermill. The Mill is set within the heart of the Blavet Valley which contains the Nantes to Brest canal. A soft warm climate, with some long hot days in the summer ideal for walking, cycling, outdoor sports and water activities.
The nearest beaches are Carnac and Quiberon approx 1 hour's drive. There are lots of places of interest with many "Petites Cities de Caractiere" all within driving distance of the Mill.
Guermeur is a rural location but within 5 minutes drive you have two villages (Guern or Melrand) both with bars, restaurants, local bakeries and a village general store. The closest main town is Pontivy (approx 10 minutes drive) for excellent shopping facilities, numerous bars and restaurants, a chateau to explore or just a walk along the river.
The market town of Josselin (approx 45 minutes drive) boasts the best Saturday market in the area, which takes over the entire town and afterwards you can relax in one of the many restaurants with a glass of wine and an excellent lunch. The town also includes an enormous chateau well worth exploring. The pretty town of Rochefort-en-Terre is also well worth a day's excursion - this village wins the best floral display every year and has many historical buildings, bars, restaurants and local artisans. Or you can try the port of Vannes with it's medieval ramparts, old cobbled streets and of course bars & restaurants!
Gite description
The Mill is set in 3 acres of landscaped gardens nestled within the heart of the Blavet Valley, famous for it's walks, wildlife, rivers with excellent fishing, golf courses and quaint country character villages. The Mill was completely renovated in 2009 and has now been converted to a 4 bedroomed/2 bathroom gite. Two of the bedrooms contain double beds, the other two contain twin beds.
The mill still retains its original mill stones which make up part of the kitchen floor. The original rafters have also been retained throughout the property. As you walk into the mill to your left down a handmade oak staircase, you will find a well equipped kitchen, with larder fridge, washing machine, a gas cooker, coffee percolator, kettle and toaster.
A lounge/diner is situated on the upper level and contains a wood burning stove, a Breton oak dining table which comfortably seats 8 people, 2 sofas and a window seat which overlooks the mill stream and landscaped gardens. Sometimes late in the evening you may get to spot some of the local wildlife that regularly visit - deer, foxes polecats and minx are to name but a few.
The facilities at the Moulin de Guermeur include a games room with billiards and football table, a boules court, swimming pool and BBQ area with outside furniture for 8. Close by you will find the village of Guern with it’s local bakery, 2 bars, post office and a restaurant, or in the opposite direction you will find another local village called Melrand again with a bakery, bars and restaurant.
Within a 10 minute drive lies the river Blavet where you can learn canoeing or kayaking and then test out your skills on the river course, or you can simply hire a pedalo and explore the river. The river also boasts excellent carp fishing but please remember that you will need a licence which can be obtained in most sports bars or fishing tackle shops. Our mill stream also contains brown trout and you are welcome to try your luck! Nearby is an international standard golf course (Golfe de Rimaison), and the whole Blavet Valley is noted for walking, cycling and horse riding.
