"A lovely location, peaceful, rural countryside. This is the perfect family cottage."
La Fosse Cottage
Set in the unspoilt peaceful Quanteraine valley, La Fosse Cottage is situated in its own land of approximately one acre adjacent to Mille Fleurs.
The cottage itself is a historic listed building dating from circa 1650 and is one of few remaining unspoilt split level houses on the island with many original features including the oldest working furze oven in Guernsey.
Originally a simple farm cottage with kitchen and bedroom on the ground floor and byre below, the first floor probably dates from around 1900. With panoramic views of the valley the bedroom extension and en suite bathroom on the lower ground floor is on the site of the former piggery!
The furniture and furnishings are of a high standard with country antiques to complement the rustic character of the cottage with its exposed beams and lintels.
