France excels in fresh seasonal food cooked simply. You won't find better seafood anywhere in the world. . And you will revel in the atmosphere and quality of the markets in St James and Fougeres, where you can join the locals as they buy their fresh fruit and veg.

Enough from us for the moment. Here are some comments from our previous guests:

“An absolute delight. From the first moment through the door to the last evening by the fire, we have had a wonderful time.” Mr & Mrs Jacob, Manchester

“It is a lovely cottage in a really beautiful setting, and we had a great time….very relaxing.”

R. Sawyer, London

“Beautiful cottage, very homely. A very enjoyable relaxing holiday.” Mr & Mrs Byfield, Southampton

“A wonderful week in a lovely cottage.”

Mr & Mrs Hannant, London

“Lovely property, lovely countryside, lovely peace and quiet.” Sweeney family, Herts

Now some more from us:

The cottage sleeps four in one double and one twin (mezzanine) room. A cot and high-chair are also available free on request. La Petite Retraite has been charmingly restored and features many of its original features such as the huge Breton fireplace.

It has all the comforts of home, including a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with bath and shower, and separate WC. The living room has a VCR and satellite TV which receives English freeview channels. The cottage is stocked with games, books and videos for all ages. Outside, to the rear, there's a sunny decking area with a barbeque and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The local farmer's friendly cows are likely to be your closest neighbours!

To the front of the house there is a fully enclosed garden, where children can play safely. It's a charming place to watch the sun go down accompanied by a chilled glass of vin blanc.

At night, you won't believe how quiet it is. The only thing to disturb your good night's sleep will be the hoots of our local owl.

The nearest village is a mile away, where you'll find boulangeries, bars and a post-office, while just 4 miles away there's a larger town with supermarkets. La Petite Retraite is convenient for the major ferry ports of Cherbourg, Caen and St Malo, and just an hour from the airport at Dinard, a Ryanair destination.

Cosy French retreat

Review Submitted: April 4, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2010
This is a fabulous cosy cottage nestled in the beautiful French countryside - which we've enjoyed on numerous occasions. We've always had the most relaxing break away from the stress of every day life, enojying cosy evenings eating fine food bought locally from the nearby town of St James, and then settling down to a roaring log fire in the beautiful Bretton fireplace- a fantastic feature of the cottage. The cottage is idealy located for visiting the walled town of St. Malo, enojying the clean beaches and of course, Mont St Micheal - a UNESCO world heritage site, which is particulalry stunning at sunset. The new kitchen and bathroom look like a excellent addition to an already fabulous cottage and we hope to return soon to try them out!!

A return visit was necessary.

Review Submitted: February 11, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2002
We love this pretty, well equipped cottage. It caters for all seasons - the garden for relaxing in the sun and a large wood-burning stove for those cooler spells.
There are so many interesting places to visit, the fascinating Mont Saint Michel for example....whilst there do try the delicious 'Mere Poulard' omelettes. Further along the coast we enjoyed walking the 'Smugglers' Path' from Cancale to 'Pointe du Grouin'.... the coast was so beautiful.
Closer to 'home' we enjoyed exploring St. James. The town dates back to William the Conqueror, more recently it played a vital role towards the end of WW2. There is a good market and a very useful supermarket on the outskirts.
Our holiday was relaxing, the property was very well maintained. We found it a good base for exploring this lovely part of France.

A great place for a romantic and restful stay.

Review Submitted: February 6, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2010
My husband and I have stayed at La Petite Retraite on several occasions and at different times of the year and we absolutely love it. The rural location is blissfully peaceful, we can honestly say we have had our best nights' sleep whilst staying in the cottage. The cottage itself is charming, clean, comfy and very well equipped. We have enjoyed cosy nights in front of the wood burning stove over new year and sitting in the back garden soaking up the sunshine and the tranquility in May. All in all a superb holiday experience!
