Our cottages are uniquely situated - none is very far from the sea or an amusement park or a Zoo. All of the houses are set in the quiet French countryside thereby offering the opportunity to explore and enjoy the local French life in the area of your cottage. Whatever the type of holiday you are looking for in our area, especially if you want a swimming pool as well, then we have a cottage ideal for you.

Among our cottages and houses you will find La Peignardiere (above), La Geraudiere and Maison Vert. All have indoor heated pools suitable for all year round enjoyment. Then there is The Coach House which has a heated outdoor pool and is set in the grounds of a genuine French Chateau. La Bonne Marie has outdoor pools during June, July, August & early September. La Peignardiere & The Coach House also have broadband Internet connections offering the ability if required or needed of keeping in-touch with friends, family or work if necessary.

Standing defiantly into the Atlantic, France's northwest corner has long been culturally different from the main bulk of France. The long coastline is one of Brittany’s many attractions. Fantastic beaches line its northern limits, kept clean by huge tides and it is dotted with well-established seaside resorts, established fishing ports and numerous oysterbeds. Many Breton's still consider themselves to be Breton first, then French, and that France is on the edge of Brittany and not Brittany to be the north Western corner of France.

At this time, I am in the region of ferns, in a town which all painters should religiously visit. I have seen it in the sunlight, I have seen it in the twilight, I have seen it again in the moonlight and I never tire of it, it's wonderful

That's how Victor Hugo described Fougeres and the area in which our cottages lie.

Within the area we have the towns Fougeres, Vitre, Le Mans, Domfront, Le Mont St Michel, Avranches, Dinan, St Malo, Cancale and Dinard. The list is almost endless. To fully appreciate this region come and have a holiday here. You will not be disappointed.

The walled port of St Malo recalls the region's maritime prowess, while the remarkably intact castles at Fougères and Vitré are a reminder of the mighty border-fortresses that protected Brittany's eastern frontier before its final union with France in 1532. Dinan and Rennes (the Breton capital) have well preserved medieval quarters where half-timbered buildings shelter inviting markets, shops, crèperies and restaurants.
