Historic home in the Monts D'Arrée now a dog-friendly gîte with swimming pool

Priory is the name we have given to our largest gîte. Constructed in 1640 it is the oldest building in the local area constructed in the same layout and style of others of the 17th century. It will appeal to those who want to holiday in Brittany with a real historic connection.
Priory has had many uses in its long history including being a weaver’s home; a presbytery and a farm house. We fully refurbished it in 2020 where we sought to retain much of the character of the original building including oak beams and exposed slate stonework while we giving it very modern standards of comfort to used for the perfect family home-from-home holiday accommodation.
Priory is entered from its large farmhouse-style kitchen which includes a range cooker with 2 electric ovens and a gas hob; dishwasher; washing machine; microwave and large fridge freezer. There is a kitchen table for everyone to eat and a cloakroom with toilet and sink next to the kitchen.
From the kitchen, on the ground floor, you enter the double-height main living room where 3 chesterfield sofas are placed around the huge stone fireplace which houses a large wood burning stove for cosy evenings. A dining area with table and seating for 6 is in the main living space.
An ancient spiral stone staircase leads to the mezzanine level which has a magnificent four-poster king-sized (150 x 200 cm) bed and separate sofa and dressing area (there is also a modern staircase available!)
Also on the first floor is a second bedroom with king-sized (150 x 200 cm) bed with its own shower room and toilet, and the family bathroom with bath and over-bath shower.
The second floor has a twin bedroom with 2 single (90 x 180 cm) beds. A cot can be set up in any of the bedrooms or on the mezzanine level.
Priory has a large private terrace behind the property with hardwood garden furniture, sun loungers, parasol & BBQ. Wifi is available throughout Priory and it is dog friendly.
All of our guests at Kergudon have access to our many communal facilities.
These include a large, heated indoor / outdoor swimming pool (indoor / outdoor as it has
full height telescopic cover which can be opened in good weather) and adjacent pool house; boot room with a range of wellington boots for you to borrow for walking in the forest; a washing machine (additional to the one in the gite) and a tumble dryer.
Our bike store has mountain bikes available to our guests free of charge; we have a pétanque (boule) pitch and family games room with pool table, babyfoot, electronic darts and a selection of games and books.
