I am pleased that a number of you on the forum liked the cottage over the last two years. I will check on last year's interest for those who may be first refusal for this year (but do remind me in any case). Meanwhile, please PM me for further details. Briefly:


1870 stone cottage near to Huelgoat in N Finistere. 40mins from coasts, 5 mins from town and village. Wild and less wild walks, cycling, cultural stuff, smaller theme parks, tree top adventure and plenty of other activities. A very gentle nine hole golf course.


Comfortably sleeps 6, potentially more. 1/2 an acre of land. Not a five star villa with swimming pool put a holiday home we've had for 13 years and have used countless times.


Good if you like the outdoor life, a bit of privacy and want to avoid the masses. If you want five star luxury this isn't for you. I ask for a modest fee which helps cover expenses. It will be free at May half term and for most of the summer. Minimum of a week but this can be done midweek to midweek to save on ferry costs and I am pretty flexible.


I have a great project building a large rockery so those with gardening experience particularly welcome but not essentail! Ditto for amateur archiologists and fans of Time Team! Possibly good for riding too (a neighbour has some horses).

Wow! I would definitely like to go, and like the idea of the rockery. Right up my street. I would need to sort out dates with my people.Could be easier for me if we could talk or text, don't always get time to read emails. Is it easy to get to your place by boat and rail?

The cottage is free for from 2 July until 30 July and then the last few weeks of August - please PM me if interested. It would be a shame that it was not used for a week or two over high summer. Thanks to those that contacted me already and will be using it this and next month and in September.


?150 a week, photo and description above.


This is not a commercial let but a holiday home that we, friends, and new friends, have used for the last 13 years. After watching springwatch tonight a great opportunity to lay some traps for reptiles and invertibrates (corrigated iron that they bask/shelter under!)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
