Visit our special B&B in the beautiful Blavet Valley area, near the interesting market town of Baud, northwest of Vannes. It is ideal for adult groups, couples and singles who are interested in walking, cycling, bird spotting, music, painting, golfing, relaxing, visiting historical sites and the beautiful coast. At ‘Tyanda,’ our traditional farmhouse, you can try your hand at weaving, stained glass, exercise and massage, music making, painting and drawing.

We have prepared a variety of scenic walking, cycling and sightseeing itineraries if you wish. Brittany’s coastal region and interior is a treasure to explore, especially on foot. It boasts more way marked paths than any other region in France and circular routes are numerous. This is also marvellous cycling country with its undulating hills. The Tour de France comes through here but you can go at your own speed! Most people prefer to use their own bikes, however, there are a few spare bikes if you wish to borrow one. We have ample under cover storage space for your own bikes. The Gulf of Morbihan, with its mild climate, has a unique ecosystem providing a haven for many species of bird and there is a sanctuary with hide open to the public. There is a stimulating 9 hole course just a few kilometres away plus 5 excellent scenic golf courses on the south coast which are just over half an hour’s drive away.

We have workshop space on site. A large weaving loom is available for you to have a go on, yarn and advice provided. We have a range of coloured glass for the making of stained glass pictures. Your first attempts may not look like the ones in cathedrals! Have a go at pyrography where you create designs by burning patterns in wood. We play a variety of instruments, enjoy jam sessions round the BBQ, so bring your acoustic instruments. Try out some Breton dances. Remember the world-renowned Celtic music festival in Lorient, much of which is free, is at the beginning of August. There are also many traditional village festivals throughout the summer. The area is famous for the French artists who visited here to use the fantastic light. Bring along your drawing and painting gear.

The large, comfortable, former farmhouse is set-aside for B&B and we have a variety of rooms available. Within our spacious gardens of approximately 2 acres we have secluded sunken areas, a large splash pool, table tennis, garden chess and boules. We are located in a small village with its own thriving bar and a museum, which holds an amazing collection of Breton coffee pots and soup tureens. We are 3 km from two large villages, Melrand and St Barthelemy, with shops, bars and restaurants.

 

We have five bedrooms; one double downstairs with bathroom opposite and separate toilet; upstairs there are two twin rooms, one double plus a single. There is a shower room with toilet. We provide a full continental breakfast you have your own entrance, there are self-catering facilities, a pleasant lounge and guests are free to use the library. It is a non-smoking. Sorry no children or pets.
