La Retraite translates as “the retreat” in French and that is exactly what is on offer at this beautiful house in the heart of the Parc D’Amorique in Brittany.

Nestling in its own large and attractive gardens, the house exudes peace and calm. Situated right on the edge of the pretty village of Huelgoat (pronounced 'Welgwat'), La Retraite is only a short walk from village shops, restaurants, swimming pool, tennis courts, and of course the famous picturesque lake and boulder-strewn forests that border it.

The house itself has been furnished and equipped to a high standard to ensure a comfortable, hassle-free stay. For those staying with little ones, we have endeavored to make it as child-friendly as possible with stair gate, travel cot, toy box and games. There is also a small enclosed garden to the rear of the house leading from the games room where small children can play safely. Plenty to do and see in an area renowned for its natural beauty and forest walks (see our About page).

A welcome hamper is provided as well which inlcudes bread, cheese, pate, wines and champagne to help you relax into the wonderfully slow pace of life that is synonymous with La Belle France.

We very much hope that you will come and stay and discover, as we have, the magical beauty of this particular region of France.
