Etable
Etable is our quirky renovated Cowshed in Brittany. It’s perfect for two families holidaying together – or for those who like a bit of space to spread out and relax!
It has two separate king size bedrooms each with an adjoining twin bedroom.
Etable was originally the cowshed at Le Rhun, our old cider farm. It was built about 150 years ago, and there is still some evidence of bovine occupation (but we promise the cows are gone now…)!

We’ve kept as many of the original features as we could – the large open-plan ground floor shows off the exposed beams and there is beautiful carved stonework surrounding the wood burning stove.
The lounge area has three comfortable leather Chesterfield sofas, and a window seat, a feature fireplace with wood burner, a TV with French digital channels (TNT) & DVD player and a Bluetooth speaker.
The spacious kitchen area has a gas range cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, Tassimo coffee machine, washing machine, tumble dryer, breakfast-bar style worktop and well equipped kitchen cupboards.
There is a blender and electric grater and spiraliser, and there’s even an ice crushing machine for long cold summer drinks.
The kitchen has stunning views over the garden and rolling fields down to the woods.
We provide a bundle of freshly pressed kitchen linens, cleaning spray, washing liquid, a box of 5 dishwasher tablets, a bin and compost bag (plus a spare!) to get you started.
There is olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and Herbes de Provence to add to your tasty dishes.
We also leave tea, coffee, milk, sugar, so you can have a nice cup of tea or coffee whilst you unpack.
You’ll even find a refreshing bottle of Breton cider waiting for you in the fridge too!
Beyond the kitchen, the unique quirky layout of the shower room reveals its former use as the cow shed at Le Rhun…with the 4 old animal pens now housing 2 showers and 2 wcs. Look closely and you will see the ring for tethering the bull still embedded in the wall!
The shower room leads outside with 2 steps up to the garden looking down over the fields to the woods.
We have BBQ tools and grills ready in Etable for use with the stone-built barbecue. The garden has beautiful views over the fields, which often have grasses or even corn planted in them.
It’s a cosy little private corner for a picnic, breakfast on the lawn or a lazy sunset suppers and aperitif.
Turn left or right at the top of the open tread pine staircase, leading from the lounge, and you will enter a light and airy bedroom with comfortable king sized bed.
Each of these two main rooms leads into a twin bedded room each with a wooden chest full of toys and games. They are luxurious comfy beds with plenty of pillows and extra blankets for a good nights sleep.

100% refund up to 30 days before arrival
50% refund up to 14 days before arrival
Check-in: 4 pm
You are very welcome to arrive any time from 4pm. We live and work on site so if you need a late arrival that’s no problem. Let us know what time you expect to arrive and we will put the lights on for you.
We are sorry that we can not offer early check-ins. We spend the whole day deep cleaning and preparing your gite, the swimming pool and our grounds so that everything is perfect for your arrival (we want Le Rhun to look its best!).
Check-out: 10 am
Guests are requested to vacate their gite by 10.00am on the day of departure, to give us time to clean the gîte before our next guests arrive.
Before you check out, please would you
~ strip the linen from the beds and leave it all in the bathroom
~ empty the bins and compost bins
~ make sure you have washed up and put things back where you found them.
It really helps us especially if all the toys and books are put back!
~ If you have used the wood burning stove or bbq has been used, please clean out the ashes and the bbq rack for the next guests. (There is a metal ash bucket and spade in the wood store for this purpose. Ashes can be put in our large black compost bin.)
An end of holiday cleaning service is available for guests who have an early departure and would like to leave the breakfast dishes and last minute cleaning to us.
If you have not already selected this when you made the booking, please book this by Thursday of the week of your stay. This is to be paid in cash before your departure. Cleaning fee: Ecurie €40, Hibou €40, Etable €50, Chestnut Loft €50, Farmhouse €60.
Children/infants: allowed (and encouraged – we are very family friendly)
Pets: not allowed – we love animals but our gardens are not enclosed so we cannot guarantee the comfort and safety of all our guests if we allow pets.
Parties and events: not allowed – we are very happy to host your party or event if you book all of Le Rhun, but if you book one gite we don’t allow late night parties to ensure the comfort of all our guests.
Smoking inside: not allowed
All our gîtes, the pool area and the children’s play areas are designated no smoking areas. We respectfully request smokers to dispose of cigarette butts thoughtfully and not to put them in gîte kitchen bins. If you need us to supply you with an exterior ashtray, please ask.
