Hotel Ajoncs d'Or, Brittany

Advantages: excellent customer support and booking advice service

...Brittany Ferries is not just a ferry operator, but also a holiday and hotel booking service. ~~ Booking ~~ Somehow, no matter how hard we try to plan things in advance we always do things at the last minute. Last July we decided, rather late in the day, that we’d like a ‘little holiday’ in France.

Bikes can be hired from the abbey as a modest rate and there is a tow path alongside the river that takes the visitor for miles.

If you are coming to Brittany for a holiday... Read review
