Our holiday cottage of 20 years is available at a small cost for family and 'new' friends to enjoy. Ferry and flight costs for the summer are pretty reasonable at present so it may be worth considering before they go up. It is free for the school summer hols after the beginning of  August, at May half term and for most of the spring and also into the Autumn. I'll upload more pictures later

PM me for full details. Very family friendly but suitable for couples and groups too.

Built in 1870 this stone cottage is in a peaceful hamlet close to Huelgoat in North Finistere. 40mins from coasts, 5 mins from town and village. Wild and less wild walks, cycling (a number of bikes are provided), canoeing (inflatable in the house) nature, cultural stuff, smaller theme parks, tree top adventure and plenty of other activities. A gentle nine hole golf course. 

Large bedroom with double four poster bed, bunks and spare single bed. Second double bedroom. Large lounge with wood burner, Bed settee downstairs and glamping in the barn! Bedding, BBQ, games, table football, bikes, canoe and other stuff provided. Refurbished bathroom with large walk in shower. Comfortably sleeps six, potentially more, could take two young families, 1/2 an acre of land.

Ideal if you like the outdoor life, star gazing after you have seen bats, a bit of privacy and want to avoid the masses. A minimum of a week but flexible on arrival and departure days. 

Here's the small print - no broadband, it just isn't worth it. There is reasonable 4g, and we use the local pubs free broadband if we want to do more serious catching up.  Please only get back to me if you are serious, and if you ask whether there is broadband I will delete your post as you wont have read my description!

I can give plenty of advice on how to get there, we usually drive getting the ferry over to Western France, occasionally fly to Rennes, and twice have cycled from South London.

Just returned from a mild and misty few days in Brittany putting the cottage to bed for the winter.  A good time to consider a spring or summer trip to France, even if not our lovely place!  Whilst the ferries are still relatively cheap.  This time we spent a day in Nantes, and also visited the standing stones at Carnac; last Autumn we did a day in Bayeux before catching the ferry back, having never seen the tapestry before - highly recommended!

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built.
