Breton Holiday Cottages in Masserac, Loire Atlantique, France - Walnut Cottage Reviews

We have stayed for a week at Walnut cottage almost every year for the last 15 years, and every time we cannot believe how wonderfully relaxing it is to stay in this part of Brittany. In the past we have driven there, but this time cycled from Roscoff - four easy days cycling on very quiet roads.

From the moment you arrive, to a very friendly greeting from Tony & Maria, the cottage and large private garden tell you the week is going to be a great relaxing break.

The cottage itself is well equipped with plenty of room for 4 people. It always seems to be warm and sunny for us (we've stayed in April, May and September), but the wood burner means that even if the weather turns colder you can stay warm indoors.

The private garden is very quiet, and with the deckchairs provided allows you to catch up on those unread books before firing up the barbeque ! At night the absence of street lighting lets you star gaze in absolute wonderment.

Paimbu is a very quiet hamlet, but shops, supermarkets, swimming pools are all close at hand; beaches and a wide selection of places to visit ( with or without children) are a relatively short drive away. Alternatively, just use the bicycles available for free to explore the local area including a route along the nearby river.

Tony & Maria live 'on site' and are always around to help with any queries or advice on places to visit - nothing is too much trouble for them it seems!

So, if you want a chance to escape the hurly burly of the daily grind, then Paimbu is THE place to find peace and quiet; we promise you won't be disappointed.
