Rent a luxury farmhouse in Plouguenast-Langast, Brittany that accommodates ten guests across five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three hectares of private grounds where neighbouring horses graze peacefully. La Ferme Bretonne sits on the edge of the Loudéac Forest, a vast 2,500-hectare expanse ideal for cycling, walking, and horse-riding adventures. From this rural position, you’re within thirty minutes of Brittany’s most celebrated beaches, yet surrounded by enough countryside tranquillity that clear nights reveal the full canvas of stars overhead.

Inside La Ferme Bretonne

La Ferme Bretonne sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms distributed across three storeys of a thoughtfully restored Breton farmhouse. The ground floor welcomes you through an entrance hallway into a lounge where a working wood-burning stove becomes the focal point during cooler months, complete with comfortable seating, television with Freeview, and direct access to the south-facing garden. The kitchen dominates this level—a fully-equipped space with a professional range cooker, double microwave, full dishwasher, two under-counter refrigerators, and a three-quarter-size freezer. A substantial farmhouse table seats twelve guests for dining, whilst the walk-in pantry accommodates provisions from the local Thursday morning market at Plessala, just 4km distant. Large windows flood this space with southern light throughout daylight hours. A utility room and separate WC with sink complete the ground floor functionality.

Ascending to the first floor, you discover five distinct bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a double bed, expansive countryside views across the surrounding agricultural landscape, and an attached dressing room for luggage and personal items. Two further bedrooms offer twin configurations—each with two single beds ideal for children, friends, or family members preferring separate sleeping arrangements. The remaining two bedrooms feature double beds with en-suite bathrooms; each en-suite contains a walk-in shower, dual sink vanities, WC, and heated towel rails. A shared family bathroom serves additional guests, featuring a spa bath alongside a walk-in shower, dual sinks, WC, and heated towel rails.

The upper storey reveals an open-plan loft space beneath characterful exposed beams—accessible via open-tread stairs. This atmospheric retreat contains three sofas arranged for relaxation, a dedicated music system for radio, CDs, and vinyl records, a games table accommodating eight, and a work desk equipped with monitor and printer for those maintaining professional commitments. A curtained alcove houses a large mirror and exercise bike for fitness routines. This space captures light from roof windows and provides an intimate gathering zone separate from main living areas.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The three-hectare property unfolds around the farmhouse with distinct activity zones. A covered barn accommodates table tennis and badminton equipment, transforming weather patterns from obstacle into irrelevance. Adjacent outdoor areas offer the same games in fair conditions, along with rounders sets and rugby equipment for informal sporting entertainment. A gas-fired barbecue station and dedicated barbecue barn enable alfresco dining across seasons. Four adult road bicycles await guests keen to explore country lanes connecting to Plessala’s boulangerie or the hilltop medieval town of Moncontour thirteen kilometres distant.

The terrace facing south captures morning and afternoon sunlight, bordered by gardens that transition into open grassland where neighbouring horses browse on organically managed land. Wildlife inhabits the property throughout seasons—hares and deer move through the boundary areas, whilst wild boar occasionally traverse the grounds. Barn-nesting owls provide evening soundscapes during spring and summer months. When darkness falls completely on clear evenings, the absence of light pollution reveals constellations rarely visible from inhabited settlements. A small lake on adjacent property offers fishing opportunities and peaceful walking circuits.
