Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool

Today at the Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool I drove back up to Pontivey hospital to see Naomi and James.

Both are doing really well and one of the jobs I had to day was to register the birth at the mayors office within the town that the hospital is situated - Pontivey Noyal.

Naomi and I had to complete 2 different documents informing the mayors office James's full name and our full christen names including place of birth for both of us.

The hospital is just a 30 minute drive from La Forge the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool.

Yesterday at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool we recruited our new future holiday cottage manager with the birth of young James.

He came in at a whopping 8 1/2 lbs and both Naomi and James are doing well. He was born at Pontivey hospital which is just a 30 minute drive from La Forge.

The Brittany holiday cottage is a perfect holiday location to enjoy a family holiday in Brittany and the holiday cottage is available to rent all year.

Today at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool  after going to the hospital at Pontivey for Naomi's weekly check up we bought a new summer cover for the swimming pool.

Just shows its good to shop around and what ever happened to customer loyalty with the shop that installed the swimming pool, heater the lot qoating 592 euros for a new pool cover compared to the 380 euros we actually paid!

I don't think we will be giving any additional business to the original pool shop and by going else where we have also made a new friend.

The swimming pool at the Brittany holiday cottage was opened last weekend and we will begin to heat the pool this weekend ready for the start of April.

Guest enjoying a holiday at La Forge during April and May have private use of the heated swimming pool.

Its been another fantastic week at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool for great weather.

Naomi and I have worked out in the garden in just shorts and T-shirts and then in the afternoons sunbathed on the terrace.

Today we took the winter pool cover off the pool and what a difference it made to how the garden looks in addition to the sound of running water.

As we soaked up the sun on the terrace of La Veille maison this afternoon it was great just listening to the running water of the pool and all the bird song coming from the garden and surrounding countryside.

The Brittany holiday cottages are situated in some wonderful countryside that is filled with the sounds and sights of some great natural history in the lovely hamlet of Kerbourbon.

This week at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool we have had fun and games with one of our chickens, so much so we have given her a name.

She is now called 'HILTS' after the Steve McQueen character from 'The great escape' after escaping the chicken run almost every day- to be found outside the property.

At first I thought it was just a one of and gave her the benefit of doubt before clipping her wings as I try to not clip to give them some protection if ever a predator was to get inside the coup but as she was now getting out she was putting herself in greater danger.

So we clipped the right wing only to find that she was still getting out. We think she is flying on to the hen house and then launching herself over the 5ft fence. Yesterday we clipped the other wing and thankfully she is now staying put...lets hope she does not learn to tunnel...lol

The other two birds stay put as they are larger birds and I expect that due to there size they can not make the flight over the fence.

Buying the chickens for the Brittany holiday cottage has been a great decision as the children staying for there holidays at either La Forge or La Veille Maison love interacting with the birds.

Today at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool we turned on the pump finally after a week of problems with the electrics and removed the winter cover from the swimming pool.

It was lovely to see how clean the water was with just a little debris on the bottom but the clarity of the water was as clear as gin, even without the pump running since September.

We will run the pump now 24 hours per day and next weekend turn the heater on so that the pool is up and running for the start of April.

During April and May the swimming pool at La Forge Brittany holiday cottage is offered on a private basis and at just £350 per week currently plus a 20% discount on a Brittany ferry crossing makes for a great value holiday in Brittany.

From 24th May La Veille Maison is also available to rent until September.

La Forge is available to rent all year.

March weather in Brittany at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool

Over the last few years the weather in March at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool has been splendid with bright sunny days and this year we have not been disappointed.

Both Naomi and I have enjoyed sun bathing on the terrace of La Veille Maison over the last 2 weeks and its been a welcome break from the wet weather of January and February.

I have owned the Brittany holiday cottages now for 8 years and every year April and May provides some fantastic weather to enjoy the Morbihan region of southern Brittany and of course the swimming pool at La Forge on a private basis.
