Bright and wonderful cottage
The space
Atelier de Sabotiere dates back to the 19th century and was once a clog maker’s workshop. After a loving transformation, this pretty cottage now sleeps 2-6 guests yet it retains much of its original character as can be seen in the lounge with its exposed chestnut beams and original fireplace now with a cast iron wood stove. Upstairs there is a romantic double bedroom and en suite bathroom whilst on the ground floor a quad bedroom with two sets of blue bunk-beds, alongside a second bathroom, awaits.
I have taken great care in decorating the cottage with attractive pieces of furniture from local brocantes giving the cottage a rustic yet highly comfortable ambience. Outside, the south-facing garden is a pleasant spot for a spot of al-fresco dining by the barbecue or just relaxing in the sunshine with a coffee or glass of calvados.
Guest access
On the edge of a tiny village just off the road leading to Tourouvre, close to the village church, you are near the edge of a vast forest ideal for long walks, hiking, biking or just appreciating its natural beauty and wildlife. Tourouvre is less than 5km away with its restaurant, shops, café-bars and Friday morning market whilst historic Mortagne-au-Perche is just over a 10-minute drive away, an attractive town known for its boudin noir which you can try at its Saturday morning market.
From the door step you can start to enjoy the Natural Regional Park du Perche.
