The Experience
Find peace on the edge of Carelles: one shop, and a baker that delivers daily. Your ivy-strewn cottage, resurrected from a barn, sits opposite the owners’ house on the other side of the lane surrounded by orchards and pastures. The owner, ex pat from Switzerland, friendly, down-to-earth and happily in France, moved in search of air and space, and usher you in. There’s a comfy sofa and a fireplace neatly repointed with a wood-burner; free WiFi, logs on the house, and a TV with satellite channels; the kitchen fits snugly into its corner; the French windows open to the garden; and the bedroom sports a deep mattress, a brass bed and a luxurious roll top tub with many splendored bubbles! All is warm, comfy and cosy, all is on one floor so you don’t need to be sprightly. On summery days, you have your own lovely, secluded, south-facing garden, with views, and a barbecue, and a gate in the picket fence opening into the orchard so you can laze in the hammock that’s strung from the trees. Borrow the bikes, book a horse, stroll to the local bar, visit medieval Fougères. Or spend the day on the Emerald Coast.

This was our second visit to Le Tay and it was just as enjoyable as the first visit in August 2016. We had planned our return for August but had to change our plans. Ceri assured that October was a great time to visit and she was right. There was plenty going on in all of the lovely towns around and the weather was just right for exploring. We enjoyed cosy evenings in with a good bottle of wine and a log fire. Everything in the the gite was just as good as last time and Ceri and Pete are great hosts. I would highly recommend this gite.

The perfect place for two to get away from it all in a lovely peaceful setting. Amazing skies at night and a beautiful garden and orchard. Great for our dog with the fenced in garden and nice walks from the doorstep down the quiet lanes. The gite had everything we needed and shops only a short drive away. This was our 3rd stay at Le Tay and we're looking forward to going back again soon!

Location
The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Peter Morlidge
- You're a quick cycle ride away from Les Jardins des Renaudies. Open from April to November, in addition to the gardens you can enjoy the honey fair, the maize maze and the pumpkin festival.
- Fougères is rightly famous for its castle and the gardens, but you can also enjoy a day at the Forêt de Fougères and take a dip in the swimming lake. Perfect for cooling down in the height of summer.
- The Fête de Carelles normally takes place on the first Sunday of July. There are floats, marching bands and refreshments until late into the evening.
- The gite garden is south facing and very sheltered, so it is often warmer there than anywhere else. This allows for extended sunbathing and late al fresco dining.

This is our fourth visit to LeTay and we are never disappointed it’s like coming home. I reviewed this property the first & second time we stayed here but just wanted to say that it’s still brilliant. This lovely gite is the perfect place to get away from it all and Ceri and Pete are wonderful hosts, so thoughtful in all they do. Our kitchen was stocked with enough food to keep us going for at least two days. There are many interesting places to visit and we keep finding more.
