Our holiday cottage of 20 years is available at a small cost for family and 'new' friends to enjoy. Ferry and flight costs for the summer are pretty reasonable at present so it may be worth considering before they go up. It is free for the school summer hols after the beginning of  August, at May half term and for most of the spring and also into the Autumn. I'll upload more pictures later

PM me for full details. Very family friendly but suitable for couples and groups too.

Built in 1870 this stone cottage is in a peaceful hamlet close to Huelgoat in North Finistere. 40mins from coasts, 5 mins from town and village. Wild and less wild walks, cycling (a number of bikes are provided), canoeing (inflatable in the house) nature, cultural stuff, smaller theme parks, tree top adventure and plenty of other activities. A gentle nine hole golf course. 

Large bedroom with double four poster bed, bunks and spare single bed. Second double bedroom. Large lounge with wood burner, Bed settee downstairs and glamping in the barn! Bedding, BBQ, games, table football, bikes, canoe and other stuff provided. Refurbished bathroom with large walk in shower. Comfortably sleeps six, potentially more, could take two young families, 1/2 an acre of land.

Ideal if you like the outdoor life, star gazing after you have seen bats, a bit of privacy and want to avoid the masses. A minimum of a week but flexible on arrival and departure days. 

Here's the small print - no broadband, it just isn't worth it. There is reasonable 4g, and we use the local pubs free broadband if we want to do more serious catching up.  Please only get back to me if you are serious, and if you ask whether there is broadband I will delete your post as you wont have read my description!

I can give plenty of advice on how to get there, we usually drive getting the ferry over to Western France, occasionally fly to Rennes, and twice have cycled from South London.

Just returned from a mild and misty few days in Brittany putting the cottage to bed for the winter.  A good time to consider a spring or summer trip to France, even if not our lovely place!  Whilst the ferries are still relatively cheap.  This time we spent a day in Nantes, and also visited the standing stones at Carnac; last Autumn we did a day in Bayeux before catching the ferry back, having never seen the tapestry before - highly recommended!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
