  About our property

What could be more pleasant than a place of your own for a week or two deep in the heart of the enchanting Brittany countryside with the added attractions of a large heated swimming pool and a family pitch and putt golf course.

Until recently the accommodation was also a working farm, dating back to 1858. The buildings have now been internally designed by a local French architect and tastefully converted to provide first class accommodation with a  high standard of comfort. At the same time great care has been taken to preserve the original exteriors and all the old world charm you would come to expect from this part of the country.

Facilities

The heated outdoor swimming pool is probably the major attraction.

The pool is 11 x 5 metres and from June to the end of August is maintained at between 74 and 80 degrees and is filtered automatically.

The family pitch and putt golf course has nine holes and covers about five acres of a large sloping field. The views from the top are well worth the walk even if you don't play golf. 

The course was designed for the non golfer and novice but it has proved very popular with the more experienced, for practice of their short game.

The pitch distance to the green varies from about 20 metres to 80 metres and the greens about 10 metres in diameter.

The boules ,croquet and badminton have also proved to be very popular and along with the swimming pool and golf are all included in the price of an `At Home` in France holiday.

If the unthinkable should happen and the weather is not as good as you would hope there is also an indoor games room including table tennis, darts and a pool table.
Also available are mountain bikes at £5 a day or £20 a week. With some good off road tracks and the roads around Botcoet being delightfully free of traffic, they are well worth considering.

For the less energetic books and board games are also available.

About our region

In Botcoet the hectic pace of modern life is replaced by the daily commuting of cows from the local farms and the local roads are noticeably free of traffic.

Botcoet is a small community of some three working farms and associated cottages with a total population of about 20 people. If you have a liking for the tranquillity of the countryside you will be captivated by it. 

With the opportunity to eat at home you can take advantage of the excellent local produce and because of Brittany's large coastline there is a thriving fishing industry so a wide variety of superb fresh seafood is readily available from the nearby shops.

Alternatively sample some of the many restaurants, bars, cafes or creperies in the area.

The rural position of the site means there is an abundance of wild life and at night the call of an owl or the bark of a fox is quite common.

If you want a change of scenery, an hours drive will find the coast with good beaches to the south and rocky inlets to the north.
