We would like to holiday in France next year-we would love a cottage cos we like peace and quiet. However we'd quite fancy a pool, but will an apartment complex be quite noisy?
What do you think? Any suggestions?

I would just think that if you were in a cottage (Gite) you would be more rural and need to speak the language more.

We were in a rural part of Spain last year where hardly anyone spoke English. We got by with sign language and a phrase book! We also realised how much French we knew when trying to get our message across!

what is more important,the pool or the solitude?

me,i would go for the gite,it would feel more french.

have a lovely time whatever you decide

May I suggest Bowhills dot co dot uk we have used them last year and highly reccommend the site, we had a farmhouse in a forest ....just perfect!!!

Mm I think I would go for a cottage = no noisy neighbours, garden and even a swimming pool.

Thankyou. Probably the solitude! We could always go to the beach!

Thankyou I will go and look

We rented out a three storey manor in the lake district, cost £400 and it was worth it, very quiet, seperate shower and jacuzzi bath. Really cosy with four poster bed with on-suite. Your own private riverside garden opposite a field.

If you pick up a brochure called 'Lakelovers' i recommend places in there.
