Fabulous place, perfect getaway
Review Submitted: April 11, 2008

Our first visit to Le Pretre was in April 2007. Prior to arriving our enquiry was handled in a friendly, yet professional way. The directions for finding the cottages which Julia and Lawrence sent were easy to follow. On arrival we were greeted by Lawrence who showed us around the cottage and explained how everything worked. We were very pleasantly surprised by how tastefully the cottage was decorated. Julia and Lawrence had made sure that everything matched, everything was of good quality and in good working order. They had thought of everything their guests could possibly need, dish washer, washing machine, proper oven and hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and a full array of crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils. In addition there was a TV with Sky which picked up British TV channels and a stereo. The cottage was immaculately clean.All linen provided.
It was the perfect place for a romantic getaway – and fantastic to celebrate both our birthdays! It was lovely to come back after a day’s sightseeing, have drinks on the pretty terrace before the sun went down and then retire inside to light the wood burning stove and snuggle up cosily. Having said that, there was every facility for a family with children (including cot etc etc), but it was not “in your face” in a way that would spoil a romantic break. Guests also have use of the large garden at the front of the house. A car is very necessary. There are not many amenities in Treverec, although a bar and restaurant are currently being built. However the cottage is well situated for exploring that part of Brittany, with Binic, St Quay Portrieux, Paimpol, Isle de Brehat all within easy reach. A little further away – maybe half an hour’s drive or so is the Rose Granite Coast, where Tregastel and Ploumena'ch are well worth a visit. Good walks along the coast. Loved Isle de Brehat.
We enjoyed our short break so much that we returned for Easter in March 2008.
Lawrence and Julia are most hospitable and friendly hosts. We arrived as guests and felt that we left as friends. We would thoroughly recommend either of the cottages and hopefully we will visit again.
