The accomodation was well designed and thought out, very clean and a real home from home. The owners Pam and Mark went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and the kids had different inflatables to play with in the pool as well as bikes, table tennis, pool, tennis courts and of course plenty of fishing, and loads of really good sized carp onto the bank (Mark will supply your tackle. and coaching, if you don't know what you're doing - for a small charge). The accomodation itself is joined to the owners house, but it's a very peaceful and relaxing place to unwind and relax. There is a great bakery a few miles away, and there are plenty of restaurants, shops and supermarkets in the nearby Chateaubriant, and many things to do in the local area. A great place for a holiday, with the extra benefit of some good fishing for carp.

Hunters Retreat was the perfect holiday for our family, something for everybody, Pam and Mark are the perfect hosts and welcome you into there home. My Husband and Son were in there element with the fishing facilities in a beautiful setting, will be recommending Hunters Retreat to all our friends and familiy and hope to return there ourselves soon.

A straightforward journey from Caen ferry port put us at Hunters Retreat at 6pm where we were greeted warmly by Pam and Mark. Glasses of wine or beer were offered, and gratefully accepted, as the starter to a fortnight of total relaxation. The house was perfect, clean, beds already made up, plenty of hot water etc. The lake was a short stroll through the lovely gardens that Pam and Mark have spent much time creating, and provided many happy hours of fishing, and putting the world to rights(!), for David. He managed to catch some good sized carp and on the final day hooked the sturgeon and was particularly proud and happy with that. He got into the habit of cycling down to the lake and I also got into the habit of cycling to deliver breakfast, lunch and tea so he didn't have to pack his rods up to come back. 5 bikes were provided and there is also a child trailer for anyone with young children. In fact this house has so much to offer that we didn't make use of as we are just 3 people enjoying the time relaxing. But, for those in larger groups or with children there is a swimming pool heated by solar panels which we used quite a lot, tennis court, 18 acres of beautiful gardens, ping pong table, pool table, dart board, table football, books, English TV (some of us were really glad to be able to get our daily 'fix' of soaps! Pam and Mark are really friendly and helpful - we couldn't have wished for a better relationship with our holiday hosts. And finally, Molly and Golly - what lovely dogs, so welcoming with tails a'wagging and so well behaved. They visited us every day and we enjoyed their company. When my sister and I went out for days, Molly and Golly joined David down at the lake to see what he had caught. I thoroughly recommend this house to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday. You will find more than you need and a wonderful welcome.
