Delightful Cottage With Heated Pool In Pluvigner, Brittany - Vine Cottage Reviews

High quality and no nonsense!

My wife and five children stayed in Vine for one week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Joanne and Adrian are sensible hosts who respect their guests with no silly stuff. This is important to us as given we holiday with a lot of children we have enough going on without ANY unnecessary fuss. Main points:
1. Accommodation was very clean and authentic
2. Joanne & Adrian, very helpful without being invasive
3. Swimming pool was well equipped and properly warm. We used it everyday. ( warmer in water (28 degrees) than outside so don't be nervous jumping in!)
4. The grounds are huge. The photos don't do it justice.
5. It's a pretty location on site
6. Broadband that works well and included in price.
7. Excellent outdoor facilities for children, including toys for pool.
8. Location was close to Pluvigner which had a range of supermarkets.
9. Cycling for adults is pleasant for adults in the area but wouldn't bother with bikes for pre-teens.
10. Fellow guests were not noisy and kids played well together in a very safe environment.(pool well fenced off, so free roaming was possible).

Suggestions:
1. Gas oven in Vine was dreadfully slow to heat up which was a little bit of a pain. Perhaps replace.
2. Supply an FM radio to offer exposure to French music etc. I used the broadband for streaming for this purpose but a simple radio would be preferable.
3. Tune the satellite to receive at least some French TV (was all English).

Other points:

The weather when we were there was similar to Ireland only a bit warmer. This meant there was no sitting out in the evening with a glass of wine or socialising really with other guests. This May or may not have been different had it been much warmer in the evening. Pity because it was only on the last night that I was there that I noticed how the place was lit up with fairy lights at night time which was lovely. Generally speaking I'd advise bringing long sleeve tops and pants if you feel the cold. (That being said I wore shorts the whole time).

I'd have no hesitation in recommending this property for those who like Brittany and want a high quality accommodation in pleasant surroundings at a fair price.

Might see you again!
