Four Beautifully Converted 18th Century Barns Beautiful converted barns near Dinan, La Poutelais, surrounded by open farmland offering unspoiled views, is a seven acre 18th century farm between Rennes and St Malo. Lovingly restored into 4 cottages under architect supervision maintaining the character and original features. All works are of the highest standard and quality furnishings ensure first class accommodation with a new, heated 11m x 5.5m pool open from May to October. The private entrance driveway, of about 150metres is flanked by 106 poplar trees, is an impressive sight on arrival. The grounds are surrounded by cornfields and an old cider apple orchard at the entrance. The front lawns and the rear grassed area under the old oak tree are ideal for barbecues and picnics. There is also a boule court, children's swings, badminton and volley ball and table tennis. Surrounding the granite mill in the central courtyard is the Manor House and the converted barns.

La Poutelais is about 2km from Tinténiac with a variety of shops, museum, zoo, and tourist office. The Rance Canal, running from the narrowing of the Rance River at Dinan and onto Rennes, is a pleasurable sight. Nearby the eleven locks raise the canal up the steep slopes of the foothills in an amazingly short distance of about 3km, offering many delightful picnic areas along its banks. Hédé only a 3km distance, is a delightful small village approached through the forest of St Brieuc des Iffs. Three restaurants on its outskirts, The Vieux Moulin, The Genty Home and The Vieille Auberge beside the lake, offer traditional cuisine.

La Poutelais is overlooked by the chateau de Montmuran. The chateaux in Combourg, Vitré, Fougères, Bourbansais and Caradeuc are in the immediate vicinity, with the Loire Valley less than 2 hour's drive south. The beaches along the coastline, known as the Emerald Coast, offer full amenities in prestigious seaside resorts such as St Brieuc, St Malo and Concale, to name but a few.
