Authentic thatched cottage with pool and spa renovated in 2018

This house is located in the centre of the Briere national park and very close to towns and villages. Restaurants in the area are superb. We would highly recommend 5*****. The host Cecile is very friendly and great to make suggestions for trips

This delightful historic cottage has been skilfully converted. Charmingly quirky it is very well appointed. Cecile is an excellent host, on hand but discreet. As well as this the real highlight for us was Breca and the surrounding area.

Cecile's house is the perfect location for a family holiday. 5***** House and Swimming Pool in a beautiful area.

This property and the host Cecile are 5*****. The house is well located and had great facilities

We have been to France renting properties for 20 years and this charming setting was the most expensive to date. Unfortunately we do not feel the money was well spent. The exterior of the property was beautiful and well maintained but the pool was not heated to the level we have become accustomed. The interior left much to be desired. The kitchen was cramped and poorly designed and without a can opener, sicissors, clock, vegetable peeler and not a knife sharp enough to cut bread The inside was beautiful to look at but not functional. The beds look pretty but the cushions look wonderful but were not sleepable pillows. Towels were colour matched to the shower but inexpensive. There were no waste baskets in the bathroom areas in the bedrooms. France and fresh bread go together and unfortunately there was no close source of bread which required a drive to the next town to obtain, which was not always convenient. There are any number of beautiful properties in France and our host is competing with them As compared with other fantastic properties we have stayed at over the years we would rate this beautiful property at 3.7 out of 5 mainly do to the lack of attention to details, like warning to be cautious of beams slanting from the bedroom ceilings, etc. in the house and the low temperature of the pool. We all felt that the property was being run on the Cheap. This also was the impression of our guests who are also experienced travelers. We would not return to this property.

Cecile is a superb host. The house is located in a beautiful area, and within walking distance of local restaurants and tourist attractions. The house itself and swimmimg pool are at a very high standard. I would give Cecile and this property 5 *****. Merci Cecile

Cecille’s cottage is just beautiful- the house has been decorated with great taste, the bedrooms are large and airy and the showers are fabulous. The pool area and hot tub are spotless and Cecile is very discrete but always on hand if you have a problem are advice about the local area. Having a sandwich bar and restaurant pretty much on the doorstep is really handy as the house and village is quite remote. The marsh barge trip is really interesting and the sound of horses clip-clopping past during the day taking tourists around the traditional thatched village in carts is lovely. The only negative we found was that there is no ice-box in the fridge so unable to buy frozen items or make ice cubes. We wish we could have stayed for longer though!

A lovely sanctuary hidden away in Breca. A beautiful house, decorated and equipped to a very high standard. The pool, hot-tub and gardens are the property's huge plus point - with the pool being a good size and just the right temperature. Fantastic location, so much to see and do within 20 minutes drive. Cecile is a very warm and welcoming host, providing many good recommendations for beaches, restaurants and villages to visit. Plage de Sorlock being our favourite beach, especially with a visit to the Cabane des Huitres. Merci Cecile pour ce séjour très relaxant dans votre belle propriété... l’une de nos meilleures vacances

The pool is lovely although very cold (wouldnt have been able to use with babies 12mths) and the hot tub was also great. Both kept very clean. Only issue was that we were told we would be able to use both from 10 in the mornings but often we were waiting for the cover to be taken off the pool until the afternoon which was frustrating for my little ones. On the occasions we asked the owner to open it up she did so but it was probably the only niggle.

Cecile has created a beautiful home, that has been finished to a very high standard. The bedrooms have all of the style you would expect from a five star hotel and the kitchen is well equipped. The garden is tranquil and sitting in the hot tub watching the light change on the trees was bliss! There is also play equipment for younger guests. There are two great restaurants and a sandwich hut 5 minutes stroll from the house, along with carriage and boat tours. Cecile recommended some quiet bays that were 20 minutes away by car. Cecile couldn’t have been a more welcoming or less intrusive host. She has created a little bit of paradise here that we absolutely loved.
