It has been that has been fully renovated while retaining its charm and character.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Josselin, France

Cottage & Local Area: The property stands in over one acre of fenced garden. There are several fruit trees, walnut and a sweet chestnut to provide welcome shade in the summer months. If holidaying in the autumn, you are welcome to help yourselves to any windfall. There is parking for two cars on a drive at the front. The rear of the cottage affords pleasant views over the garden and countryside beyond. A gravel patio at the rear is equipped with a table and seating for six for meals and barbecues. A charcoal barbecue and garden furniture are provided. The area is perfect for exploring on foot or cycling, with a designated cycle route passing through the hamlet and countryside walks from the doorstep. The medieval town of Josselin with its famous chateau, 17th Century buildings, bars and restaurants is an easy 10 minute drive. Brittany’s largest inland lake is located just outside Josselin, with swimming and water sport facilities.

Beaches & Coast: There is a large choice of sandy beaches, all within easy driving distance, where you can enjoy swimming, sand yachting, waterskiing, windsurfing, snorkelling, kitesurfing, sailing or body surfing. One of the closest beaches is at Conleau, Vannes, where a retaining wall ensures the tide is always in! (28 miles/44 mins). A nearby sandy beach that has been recommended for children is at Port Louis (46 miles/48 mins). Other popular beach locations include Carnac, Larmor Plage, La Trinite Sur Mer and St Pierre-Quiberon, and all these beaches are recommended for children. La Grande Plage Canac was recently recommended as one of the best 20 beaches in France (France magazine May 2006). Children will love the clean soft yellow sand and the beach is looked after well. There is a nice beachside promenade to walk along, and plenty of places to eat and drink. The beaches are invariably clean and unspoilt.

Beautiful cottage,

Eugies Near Chichester, West Sussex
Review Submitted: September 13, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The cottage was beautiful; a very quiet location; lovely garden well equipped for children’s enjoyment. The cottage was very clean, well presented and well furnished. Thoughtfully equipped with the whole family considered. A lovely atmosphere, a happy home obviously well loved. We would DEFINITELY recommend it.

What a wonderful property

Conman Sutton in Ashfield
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Having regretfully returned home last night, I wanted to send you an email to say thanks for providing such a wonderful holiday home / experience.

From receipt of the pack which seemed to leave no stone unturned, when we turned up last Saturday afternoon, we were amazed at the quality of the cottage and gardens. You really had thought of everything when it came to making our stay as comfortable as possible.

Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer, but we promised ourselves that should we return to that area that we would stay for 2 weeks – hoping that your cottage remains available.

Many thanks for your touches and consequently our holiday. We will certainly be recommending this cottage to our friends and family.

So sad to leave

Laurelines North Carolina, USA
Review Submitted: October 10, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I am so sad to leave this darling little house.
I have been impressed over and over with how well the house is appointed. You've done a fabulous job of providing almost everything one could want---and more. You've anticipated every need and question. I am sure I'll never find a house as perfect as this one to rent in France.
I also have been delighted by your design sense. As a former interior designer and now, artist and painter, I pay attention to paint colour and wallpaper choice and textures of rug, upholstery, and furnishings. I love how understated yet authentic your decor is... and how cosy and cheerful the whole place is.
So, thank you again, for sharing this beautiful little jewel with me. I have been so happy here. I will never forget it.

A wonderful stay

Louise & Thomas London, UK
Review Submitted: September 19, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
A wonderful stay at your lovely cottage. All the carefully prepared instructions & information about the area were very welcome. We particularly enjoyed visiting Lizio by bike and the other beautiful local villages, as well as the local walks by the canal & nearby rivers.
The antiques shop in Josselin turned up some surprising finds as did the estate agents! And it was great to come back to a roaring fire each night. Thank you for such a comfortable base from which to explore this beautiful area.
