The outbuilding at the end of the house has seating and a barbecue, if you prefer to cook for yourselves and not take advantage of the excellent restaurants in the area. The rear garden is a cottage garden of wild flowers and herbs with vegetable and fruit bushes, while further down is an orchard of fruit and nut trees.

Also available on the first floor is our self catering accommodation with one double bedroom, lounge/kitchen and bathroom, having it's own ground floor entrance within the chambre d'hote and being totaly private. Full use of the grounds, parking facilities, barbecue area etc, are included in the rental. La Roseraie nestles on the border of Morbihan near the Paimpont forest and Broceliande, land of myths and lengends, of Merlin the magician and Viviane the fairy, the magical setting for the Arthurian Legend Centre and the Chateau de Trecesson, home to ghosts and hauntings, set on a lake often bathed in mist. Here you can take guided tours of the forest, there are rambles, exhibitions and medieval feasts and markets. Everything is designed to take you back to the days of Merlin, Viviane and Le Fay, the highlight of the year being the Arthurian week that takes place in July. In the village of Trehorenteuc with its 17th century church you will find a storyteller and guide to take you to the fountain of Barenton and Merlin's Platform, deep in the forest. The church of Trehorenteuc offers a patchwork of Christian faith, celtic tradition and Arthur's legends. Stained-glass windows combine Celtic and Christian symbols. The "Thanksgiving" window shows the Apostles around the Holy Grail, while in "The Appearance of the Holy Grail" the Knights of the Round Table are seated around King Arthur. Among the four paintings in the choir, one represents the Knights of the Round Table with the Grail ; Saint-Orenne, King Judicael's sister, is shown with her family - she chose to live poorly at Trehorenteuc. On the edge of the Broceliande, the town Ploermel was founded in the 6th century and was the home of the Dukes of Brittany. There is an astrological clock there and close by is Campénéac which is associated with legends of the Round Table. Many other mystical and floral villages including Monterrein, Loyat, Taupont, Gourbel and Montertelot are all close by. Le Lac au Duc at Ploermel is a place for water sports and sailing, being the largest natural lake in Brittany, and with its safe sandy beach you can swim or relax in the Breton sunshine. Around the lake is le Chemin du Diable au Paradis des Hortensias, a 7.6 km walk edged by thousands of hydranges Close by is the astonishingly well preserved medieval town of Josselin with it's Basilica and imposing castle, the Chateau of the Rohans, on the banks of the Nantes - Brest canal and the river Oust. On Saturday morning there is a bustling traditional French market full of fine foods and local produce, here too can be found an array of souvenir and gift shops. At Paimpont the Abbey and Lake nestle close to the town. It is quite a bustling little thoroughfare full of shops selling Arthurian books of local folktales and an array of crystals and the finest hand painted korrigans. (Brittany's goblin folk.) Here too are some fine tabacs, cafes and restaurants were you can drink some very strong coffee, the local cider and eat a startling variety of crepes - savoury, sweet or even doused in liquor and set aflame. A wealth of wonders lies within the region of central Brittany, and gastronomic delights, fine wines and local Breton cider await the caller at every restaurant and bar. Villages and towns of breath taking beauty abound, set against a backdrop of magnificent countryside. Here is a magical place where the traveller can rest easy and forget the pace of modern life, a place where your soul can be recharged with the wonder of life - the beauty of Brittany.
