Affordable Holiday Cottages in France

A French country cottage conjures up images of chocolate box houses, pretty gardens, open fires and quirky interiors; all very typical of France.

Today's rural holiday cottage often benefits from having been renovated with all mod cons, offering the potential guest a very comfortable stay with all the charm of days gone by.

French holiday cottages are typically located in the countryside, or have been redeveloped from a barn adjoining a farmhouse or granary. Generally, cottages tend to be more competitively priced compared to a villa or gite because they are less spacious; however they do make a great base from which to explore the local area and a welcoming homely environment to return to at the end of a busy day.

French holiday cottages offer good value for money, especially compared to UK cottage rental rates, and make an ideal retreat for a short out of season break.

Coastal cottages are also perfect for a quiet romantic break out of season, with lots of long walks on deserted beaches.
