Have you discovered the delights of Brittany holidays yet? A relatively short drive from most of the main ferry crossings, self catering in Brittany gives you a unique taste of rural France, not so far from England.
Jutting proudly into the Atlantic, Brittany is France’s most westerly province, similar to Cornwall, not only in its position, but in its strong Celtic influence. Surrounded on three sides by sea, possessed of its own language, folklore and architecture, it is hardly surprising that the French themselves talk of Brittany as a different land.

In fact it is three. Take one of our Brittany cottages to the north, and you will find a dramatic and towering coastline, dotted with islands and heavily indented with creeks, wooded estuaries and sandy bays. Opt for Brittany villas, cottages or gites to the south, and a gentle coastline backed by rolling dunes and long white beaches awaits you. And inland, your Brittany accommodation may nestle in gentle hills, close to ancient moorland, megaliths 5,000 years old, thatched farmsteads and gothic churches.
Brittany holidays will invariably introduce you to small, friendly towns and fishing villages, traditional markets and a way of life that looks to the sea. Watersports thrive in the mainly hot summers and warm waters of the Gulf Stream, whilst away from the beach there are tours or walks, riding, golf courses and tennis courts. And after the day is done there’s a wide and affordable choice of restaurants in which to enjoy the Breton specialities of seafood and sweet or savoury crêpes washed down with local cider.
