Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool and gym

Last week at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool and gym we finally put on the winter cover and closed down the swimming pool.

The procedures for closing the swimming pool are simple enough. Firstly the heater is switched off and we allow the water temperature to drop.

The pool is then cleaned and we then give it shock treatment of chlorine and that's it! - the winter cover is placed over the pool and we just wait for March to arrive before opening it all up again to find the water crystal clear.

One final point while the pool is closed I just run the pump once per week for 3 or 4 hours just to turn the water over.

I used to have the pump running every night for 2 hours during the closed season in earlier years but when switching to the weekly pump run noticed no difference in the water quality when opening the pool yet save a lot of money with the new regime in electricity costs.

The swimming pool is opened at the start of march with the heater switched on after 2 weeks so its all up and running for the start of April where guest staying in La Forge can enjoy the heated swimming pool on a private basis.

In April La Forge is currently offered at just £375 per week or book 2 weeks for £700 having being reduced from £549 per week.

Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool and gym

Yesterday we had one set of guest leaving the Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool and gym from Holland for a set of new guest arriving from the UK for this coming half term week.

The dutch guest leaving wrote in the guest book of La Forge " We had a lovely Autumn holiday here in Baud - unseasonably warm weather so we could enjoy the beach at Carnac and interesting visits to Lorient and Hennebont  ( submarine base and horses!) A very comfortable cottage. Thank you".

With a milder climate than the UK plus some really cheap weeks available during the low season a holiday in Brittany between October and March can be a great time to get away.

Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool

Today at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool we say goodbye to our current Dutch guest who have enjoyed a week in La Forge.

During the low season: start of October through to the end of March ( not including the 2 weeks at Christmas) we offer the cottage at just £225 or 300 euros reduced down from £299.

We also offer the holiday cottage on a short term basis at £50 or 60 euro per night ( min stay 3 nights) to allow guest to enjoy weekends away in Brittany.

If your looking for a longer stay we can negotiate on the rates depending on the length of stay to provide a base for house hunting or simply for people to try a trial run living in Brittany before making the big move of moving to France.

With a wonderful log burner within La Forge and all the exposed beams its a great place to enjoy the winter months.

Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym

Just 25 minutes away from the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym is Lorient.


Last week Naomi and I watched the above documentary on the Lorient U-boat base and were flabbergasted with the sheer size of the structure and the importance of the submarine base during world war 2. 

We recommended our guest currently staying in La Forge a visit to the base and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and its now on our must list of places to visit.
