A meter reading will be taken before and after the let. 100 units of electricity will be more than enough for normal usage. This cottage in Brittany has been our holiday home for 7 years and we have tried to keep the ambiance of this Breton cottage during its renovation. The cottage itself is in a very quiet area along country lanes and in the countryside. Brittany itself has everything you need from sandy beaches to historic towns and villages. Tramain is within easy distance of Dinard airport, St Malo port or 1 hour 45 minutes from Caen or Roscoff, 2hours from Cherbourg. Beaches are 25 minutes away at Val Andre and St Cast and superb golf courses. De stress here for 7 or 14 days, as we have people returning year after year.

Outside
Large grassed lawned area surrounded by fields on 2 sides, ideal for games like football, boules, badminton etc. Garden furniture sufficient for 8 people, parasol, sunloungers, bbq. Walk the area along the quiet country roads of Brittany it is fairly flat so it is an easy walk. Railway line close by giving occasional noise. Cycling is a great way to explore the area as well so bring your bikes. Jugon Les Lacs is a pretty Breton village swamped in flowers and hanging baskets with banks and several excellent restaurants. The lake is a must to visit with sailing and windsurfing. Lamballe is the large town close by with its weekly market and larger supermarkets to stock up on the wine and fresh sea food. Brittany does have it all for that relaxing getaway. Visit Le Mont St Michel a 45 minute drive but go early in summer months as it gets very busy. St Malo `s walled city near the port is also a great day out. And then Dinan with its medieval architecture and weekly market.

Guest comments
Graham Smith Birmingham - Kids enjoyed the garden. Comfortable accommodation just sat and watched the world go by. July 2008.
Mark Durbidge S.Wales - Thank you for allowing us to stay in your brilliant, well equipped Gite. Home from home! We thoroughly enjoyed the good weather and our days out to St Malo, Dinan, Le Mont-St -Michel and the zoo parc at La Bourbansais. We found the beaches superb at Le Val-Andre, Erquy, Sables-d'or-Les-Pins and St Lunaire, a credit to the area! Your directions to the Gite were excellent. We enjoyed the many walks at night along the country roads around Tramain which took us full circle back to the Gite. We also appreciated the local farmers doing their harvesting. A big thank you from us all. We only wish that we could have brought some of the weather back with us! Stephen Susan Huck.
