A perfect place for all the family to unwind, either by the pool or under a tree with a good book and a glass of wine. The English owners Sandy & Barrie have converted the Longere into 4 cottages leaving in lots of the original features, like granite walls and exposed oak beams. The cottages have been restored to provide modern conveniences whilst retaining all the charm of a typical French farmhouse. All the cottages are named after the fruit trees in the gardens, and Apple Tree is one of these cottages. Although La Basse Rouerie is in a quiet location it is only a few minutes from Mellé which has a bar-tabac-restaurant-store and only 5 mins to Louvigne du Desert with its shops and restaurants.   La Basse Rouerie is located in a small village called Mellé, which is situated on the Brittany/ Normandy borders.
