La Petite Coquais recently renovated to a high standard is set in 17 acres of fields and woodland with three private fishing lakes. Open all the year it offers ground floor accommodation for six people and exclusive use of three lakes stocked with carp (mirror, common and grass) perch, roach, pike and trout. You are welcome to fish, free of charge and no licence required.
The property, an 18th century stone barn, was extended and converted by the present owners in 2006/7. It faces south-west and sits in a small tranquil valley surrounded by meadows and trees. Accommodation comprises of a large salon with comfortable seating, a TV and DVD player with a selection of DVD's and also books. A fully fitted kitchen includes a large gas range, and integrated fridge / freezer, and dishwasher. The dining area off the kitchen has a table and chairs to seat six with French doors opening onto a private enclosed garden with a slate terrace, garden furniture, and built in covered BBQ. Boules pitch and childrens play area.
The master bedroom has a king size bed and the other two have twin beds, all are fully furnished and have en-suite shower rooms. A cot, high chair and baby equipment can be provided on request.
Renazé, a small town of about 2,500 inhabitants is host to the National slate museum. La Petite Coquais is south of the town off the D771, whilst further south- west are the boundaries of the departments Mayenne, Maine-et-Loire, Loire Atlantic and Illes-et-Villaine. The Atlantic coast and the wine areas of the lower Loire are all within an hour and half drive away together with some of the historical Chateaux of the Loire valley. The area enjoys many clear star lit nights and is ideal for the amateur astronomer.
You will see an abundance of wild life; birds are everywhere, all the usual common birds, blue tits, coaltits, the lesser known marsh tits, jays, owls, nuthatch, wood peckers and the odd kingfisher. Some days the red squirrels venture from our garden onto the driveway just in front of the gite kitchen window searching for the walnuts they hid last year. The adjacent forest is home to roebuck and wild boar and occasionally these animals may stray onto our land. Living on site, we will welcome you on arrival and can be on hand to assist, but will respect your privacy. We will provide a starter pack of basic essentials, and should you require anything further, such as a meal because of arrival, please ask.
We regret it is not possible to accept your pets as we have animals of our own. Neighbours have horses, and other animals and livestock graze in adjacent fields.
