A most enjoyable family holiday

La Claie is a most delightful cottage located in really beautiful surroundings. It lived up to the best of our expectations and we will never forget what a wonderful time we had there! There is a river within 10 metres from the house (yet no mosquitoes!), there is a lake in one minute walk (which is quite small, but beatiful, and what's important is that a boat is provided for guests' use - our teenage kids had LOTS of fun going up and down that lake in the boat), there are lovely woods starting right behind the cottage (with a rope swing hanging from one of magnificent oak trees - great fun!). The whole place is magic - it allows you to relax and it fills you with energy! The cottage itself is excellent: attractive, stylish, cosy, with all the comfortable facilities, perfectly clean. The owners are most helpful. Thank you, dear Martin and Gill, for such a lovely stay!
As for our other impressions - the best was a visit to Rochefort-en-Terre, a beautiful small town with "French character", cafe du Puits has excellent food and a menu in English :), we liked Brittany's traditional galettes (buckwheat pancakes) and soupe de poissons (fish soup). Speaking about food :) - we had so much pleasure eating :)!! French bread, croissants, fromage de chevre (goat's cheese), roquefort, not to mention great lamb chops from the Casino supermarket in Malestroit. A visit to Carnac, prehistoric megaliths, is also worthwhile.
Last but not least - special thanks to Meggie, the owners' border collie, which kept us great company. She loyally took part in all the boys' adventures accompanying them everywhere with her favourite stick :).
