It has stone walls and apparent beams throughout, and there's even stone walls in the bathroom! They have been left intact to preserve the "Breton" feel.
Description outside property: L'Astrolabe is the typical thatched house. It overlooks the huge garden of 8000 m2. It is situated amongst a village of other thatched houses. There is a private terrace, with charis and table. The sun loungers are available for use on request. The environment is quiet and very picturesque. It is situated at a 5 minutes walk from the famous village POUL FETAN, which has a creperie and bar there. It is a short drive to the main village, Quistinic, which has many pretty attractions. There is a creperie, a few bars and a small shop which acts, both, as a boulangerie, and "superette".
The river, the Blavet is just a few minutes away, by one of the many walking tracks or by car, and is a beautiful and peaceful environment. One can encounter fishermen, bike riders or just people walking along the river.
Cycling, hiking and walking are well catered for and are popular.
Description of eco friendly facilities: Thatch is a perfect material for isolation. Keeps the heat and cold at bay. Not only is it natural, it is also typically Breton. Not many houses have kept the thatch. Other natural materials we have used, for our the pointing of the walls, is a mixture of lime, hemp and water. It keeps the house luminous and, again, warm or cool. The fireplace area has been completely revamped using these materials.
We also have a compost area in our garden, for those who are amateurs of gardening!
Our family tries to ensure that the environment we have is preserved... Not only with building materials, but also with recycling. Even if it's not much, it's a start! We hope our holidayers enjoy this eco-friendly holiday :)
