Brittany holiday cottage with pool guestbook
I have met some wonderful people staying at this Brittany Holiday Cottage,that have made running La Forge a real pleasure. In particular i love hearing about their days out exploring and coming home after sampling my recommendations of where to eat.
For me moving to France was a dream come true, a new start in life, whats made it so wonderful is the confirmation from all my guest that i have chosen a property and location that's very hard to beat.
Its lovely meeting people from all over the UK, Holland and France that choose to stay at the holiday cottage.
I look forward to next year and the years to come, greeting new guest and those from the past returning again to enjoy the delights of southern Brittany at La Forge.
Enjoyed our stay in kerbourbon at La Forge,visiting lots of places which the kids really enjoyed. Kids loved the swimming pool, weather has been great for the 2 weeks. Thanks for every thing
We visited the Zoo at Pont-Scorff, the butterfly park, Aquarium in Vannes and enjoyed the Saturday market there. The sub marine base in Lorient was really good as was the Monday market in Auray finishing of with some lovely crepes in the old port of St Goustin. Also enjoyed the beaches at Carnac and Quiberon.

We loved the cottage and of course the children loved the pool and visiting the birds. Auray, Lorient and Vannes were all worth a visit. Thank you for your hospitality Mark and kindly sharing lots of information on the surrounding areas. All the best.

Glorious sunny two weeks at La Forge. We have enjoyed everything from good food-particularly La Cheval Blanc in Baud - to the perfect host.Thanks for providing the ideal spot Mark and for the encouragement for Luke ( almost 5) to ditch the floats and start swimming. We have all made full use of the pool to cool down- several times per day! Sorry to be leaving, good luck with your plans for the future. PS Camors adventure park a great place for kids.

Had a fantastic Easter holiday staying at the cottage and enjoyed some great weather. Really enjoyed the market at Auray and lunch at the old port. The coast around the area is truly spectacular. Tim enjoyed his daily runs around the surrounding countryside in preparation for his debut marathon. Thanks Mark for making us feel so welcome, you have chosen a great location to settle and the holiday cottage was lovely.

So much to do in the area and 2 weeks was just not enough! A great spot for exploring, relaxing and eating. Thanks for looking after us Mark and good luck with life and love. Enjoyed some great weather during the 2 weeks from 12th-26th September.

Excellent location to visit all areas of Morbhian as most tourist locations are between 30-45 minutes away. St Goustan at Auray is a must, a lovely place, as is Rochfort-En-Terre. The boat trip to the Ile Aux Moins was fantastic and a great place for a picnic. We also recommend hiring a day boat from La Gacilly.A big thank you Mark for being an excellent host during our 2 week stay. Wishing you every success and happiness in the future.

The holiday cottage is very nice to stay, I'm looking forward to enjoying my first Christmas in France this year. The pool is lovely to swim in, I learnt to swim last year and can now swim underwater without holding my nose. I love the chickens, especially Spike even tho he is a scaredy cat and I love collecting the eggs and feeding them grass.
Daddy I love your home in France, love Amie Rose xxx
Amie Rose Cavalier
Great location for exploring Brittany-Carnac and beaches with the 'savage coast' were wonderful. The markets at Auray and Hennebont so varied with great food. The cottage is a great base to explore all of this.
We do recommend the'white horse' in Baud to eat - great food 'FRENCH' style and fantastic service.
Chris & Jacqui from Dorset 11th - 18th June 2011
Lovely welcome and a lovely property. Made very good use of the pool every afternoon. Good location for visiting Morbihan would come back.

Rollsfsen family 16th -30th July 2011 Holland
The food was fantastic and we used the BBQ alot. We enjoyed collecting the eggs from the chickens and we would recommend the adventure park in Camors if you have children.
Romily, Jus,Jo,Lucy,George and Gen 5th Aug 2011
Had a fantastic holiday.Girls loved the pool and made a great friend...thanks Amie for being so much fun.Enjoyed BBQ's & fabulous food at le Cheval Blanc in Baud. Had a great day at Carnac visiting the market and beach. Enjoyed the chateaux at Josselin, Vannes is well worth a visit but the aquarian was disappointing and not value for money! Children of all ages will enjoy the forest adventure park at Camors. We had a fantastic morning at Hennebont market and afternoon on Lamour plage- very safe for children with kids clubs on beach and fantastic rock pools. All in all a very enjoyable stay.
Thankyou Mark & Amie
Sharp family. Surrey 26th August-2nd Sept 2011
Had a lovely holiday at La Forge. The weather wasn't great from the start but we still managed to get out and about and visit lots of lovely places. The adventure park you recommended was really fun as was Branfere animal park. The sunshine finally appeared in the second week and we enjoyed using the BBQ.
Thanks very much Mark for your hospitality and recommendations.
