The country estate of Kergonan comprises a stone Longére with an attached cottage nestled in 15 acres of landscaped grounds in the heart of rural Brittany. The south-facing house and cottage is a typical Breton longhouse, built approximately 100 years |
ago of mellow field stone. Now, the natural exterior beauty of the stone combined with sympathetically renovated and restored interiors with modern conveniences, the overall feeling is of peace, quiet and tranquility, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. |
