The town, 100m along the towpath, offers shopping, banks, bars and good places to eat so a real opportunity to abandon the car and totally relax. Rohan also has a theatre with various local and international entertainments and a Sunday market in the recently restored market hall. Alternatively, Rohan is ideally situated to explore Brittany with all areas within 'day trip' distance.
Comfortable, centrally heated (in winter) accommodation with twin and double bedrooms. Tv/video with British programmes. Wood burning stove. Bbq in the garden. Because of steps, pond and direct access on to the canal towpath the property is not suitable for people with mobility problems and younger children will need supervision.
