Welcome to Hirondelle Farm, the ultimate in French Holiday Homes, open all year, including Christmas and New Year!

If you are looking for spotlessly clean, comfortable and superbly equipped French Holiday Homes you have found them!

Set in the beautiful Western Loire only 6Km from the walled historic town of Chateaubriant, Hirondelle Farm nestles in the hamlet of Le Perray surrounded by peaceful fields of corn-on-the-cob and sunflowers. Hirondelle Farm is owned by Dave and Doreen Joyner, formerly of Bournemouth, UK. Dave now runs "Splinters" a complete renovation company.  Whilst Doreen, being an expert on holiday homes, is a regular guest on Jeremy Vine's Radio 2 programme on BBC.

The village of Saint Aubin des Chateaux, with its picturesque riverside picnic area, is less than a kilometer from the farm. The market town of Chateaubriant is a scenic bicycle ride of about 6 kilometers. The ferry port of Saint Malo is less than a two hour drive through some of the most beautiful parts of Brittany en route to the Western Loire.

The lovely towns of Rennes, Angers, Laval, Nantes and St Nazaire are within an hour's drive from the Farm. As are the beaches at La Baule and St Brevin.

The Stable and FarmHouse have been tastefully renovated and offer very comfortable accommodation. The buildings have retained all the original French character with exposed beams and  woodburning stoves. Both properties have their own private gardens, including patios and BBQs, and parking facilities. The FarmHouse has an integrated above ground pool surrounded by timber decking, a children's play area with two swings and a see-saw. We also offer free bicycle loan to our guests. We are delighted to welcome families with children but regret we cannot accept animals.

Hirondelle Farm has: 

The Stable for 4

The text below is an email from the Thompson family of Nottingham who had stayed with us for one week and had arranged to go to another gite, with a swimming pool, for the second week of their holidays. (We have since installed a pool surrounded by timber decking)

It is such a shame that the quality of accommodation available for the second week was not a patch on your gites (possibly a hard act to follow)."
