La Ville au Tady stands in over 1 acre of gardens. It is a traditional Breton long-house, or longère, that has been fully renovated while retaining its charm and character. Located in a small hamlet in Southern Brittany, the local village of Guégon is just a few minutes drive or a pleasant cycle ride through scenic country lanes. Within the village you will find several bars, a general store and the essential boulangerie for daily fresh bread and croissants. The area is perfect for exploring on foot or cycle, with a designated cycle route passing through the hamlet. The medieval town of Josselin with its famous chateau, 17th Century buildings, bars, restaurants and pavement cafés, is a scenic 10 minute drive. Brittany’s largest inland lake is located just outside Josselin, with swimming and water sport facilities. Superb beaches are to be found all along the nearby Morbihan coast which is said to have 365 small Islands, one to explore for each day of the year. |

the most well equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in
A beautiful, cosy, well equipped cottage. Wonderful garden. Lovely location.
To be fair, these statements do not do justice to the fabulous cottage!
It was just so wonderful!
You really had thought of everything when it came to making our stay as comfortable as possible.
I am so sad to leave this darling little house.

Updates
» We have installed a new wood burning stove in the main lounge. We did love the open fire... but not the smoke, draughts, dust and the lost heat up the chimney! The stove is many times more energy efficient than an open fire and wood burning is CO2 neutral, so that is good for the environment too. After mulling the pros and cons of the situation we have sucommed to the many advantages of a stove. It is now installed, and throws out a great heat (14kw), so the cottage is even cosier for off season breaks.
» We can now offer guests up to 10% discount off Brittany Ferries prices. Check out our Travel page for a summary of ferry timetables to see what options are available. Contact us for details of how to claim your discount when reserving your dates.
» We now have a phone line connected - you are welcome to use the line and will be billed at cost for any calls made. It is far cheaper to make outgoing calls via our France Telecom line, and free for you to receive calls - unlike your mobile phone where operators charge silly prices.
»  We have set up a wireless broadband network for the cottage with always-on WiFi.
Bring your own lap-top, or use ours for internet access & emails. Internet access is great for checking the weather forecast and keeping in touch with friends and family. We provide this service completely free of charge.
» Following feedback from some guests, we decided to install a satellite dish and free to view channels are now available (ITV, BBC, CBBC, News 24, UK Radio etc.) on the Gite lounge TV, which has been upgraded to a 26" LCD Nicam stereo model. If you would rather a TV Free holiday - don't switch it on! We have a good selection of films on DVD to suit most tastes.
» We have been building up a collection of books linked to Brittany at the cottage. Examples are Memoirs of a Breton Peasant; A gift from Brittany: A Memoir of love and Loss in the French Countryside; Bumping Around Brittany; The Next Moon: The Remarkable True Story of a British Agent Behind the lines in Wartime France. There is also an good selection of thrillers and fiction books. If you don't want to weigh yourself down with holiday reading just turn up and select something from our book shelf.
For those that don't like surprises...
I have uploaded over hundreds of photographs of the cottage and garden to an on-line photo album at Flickr, organised by room. I am also adding photos of nearby towns, such as Josselin, Vannes, Dinan etc. so you can get a good idea of where you would like to visit when planning your holiday.
Your Holiday Matters....
Your holiday matters to both you and us. To confirm our commitment to this principle, I am delighted to say we are members of the Your Holiday Matters consortium of holiday cottage owners. This provides an independent assurance of quality.
Membership can not be bought, and is only awarded to owners who can show that they really care about providing a high quality property. All applications are independently verified by an owners' panel who consult three independent referees to vouch for their holiday experience.
As we advertise with Owners Direct, renters can register with the HomeAway Rental Guarantee scheme.
The scheme is designed to offer peace of mind that you are renting from a legitimate owner.
