La Longère - Luxury Guest House in Southern Brittany, France
A warm welcome awaits you at this luxury Guest House/B&B.   A beautifully restored 18th century stone longère, with large outdoor pool and luxury Jacuzzi, located in the beautiful countryside of Southern Brittany.

Perfectly placed for peaceful retreats or busy, exploring/activity holidays or a perfect base for golfers with 4 excellent courses within easy reach.






La Longère has much to offer the golfer who is tired of large hotels and would just like the opportunity to relax in more comfortable, luxurious and informal surroundings. Groups are welcome (max 6 people) and ultimately small groups can enjoy exclusive use of the property and it's facilities.
La Longère sits in an acre of unspoiled farmland just 5 mins from the village centre of Languidic. It offers the ideal retreat yet it is also perfectly placed to enjoy all the sights and activities available in Southern Brittany. For the golfer we are within easy reach of several good golf courses, the closest being St Laurent, Val Queven, Baden, and Ploermeur Océan (closest 20 mins - furthest 35 mins drive). Details on each course given below.
Please visit www.formule-golf.com for further details on each course.)

St Laurent (20 min drive)
Listed amongst the top 40 'best' French golf courses. Saint Laurent is an exceptional golf course in the centre of a beautiful pine and oak forest.
Val Quéven (20 min drive)
Age-old trees give way to links that provide a range of situations and the undulating landscape of this former estate is quite striking.


Baden
- (approx 30 Min drive)
Baden (pictured left) sits on the very edge of the Morbihan Gulf and the Auray river, where the countryside meets the sea. A delightful setting provides plenty of golfing variety and beautiful scenery.

Ploemeur-Océan (approx. 35 min drive)
With beautiful views across the sea and the island of Groix, the extensive links of Ploemeur, provide a wonderful experience for golf connoisseurs.

 

Comfort is the main focus at La Longère with large airy bedrooms all with uninterrupted views over the pool and surrounding countryside. The rooms are beautifully furnished, with full height ceilings and exposed beams retaining the character of the building. Large comfortable beds with a choice of arrangement -either a large super-king sized double bed (6ft wide) or twin bedded rooms. Quality crisp white bed linen and plump, soft pillows ensure a good night's sleep while TVs in each room together with tea/coffee-making facilities also allow you the opportunity to relax in your own private space. Wi-fi is available throughout the house.

Each bedroom has its own superb en suite facilities and, of course, all towels are provided.

Relax in the Jacuzzi at the end of a full day's golf or swim or simply relax around the pool, alternatively we are also ideally located for you to explore the coast and countryside of Southern Brittany - the choice is yours!

We look forward to welcoming you into our home where a truly relaxed atmosphere, good humour and a peaceful stay awaits you!

JOIN THE GOLF GETAWAY CLUB
We are two ladies who started playing golf just over three years ago. We really enjoy getting away on short golf breaks - and we try to do this as often as we can. One of the problems we have is making up a viable group of players - we find groups of 4 to be the most enjoyable. As working women (and novice golfers) our network of fellow golfers is quite small. Sometimes we find it difficult to get a time when there are four of our group free at the same time. This means we often lose an opportunity to get away and play golf.

We know that our enjoyment of golf and travel with a group of liked-minded ladies is widely shared. That's why we have developed a plan to help lady golfers network more effectively.


We set up GolfGetawayClub.co.uk for lady golfers who want to get away to play golf, and would like to link up with others in a similar position. The main purpose of the club is to make it easier to "get away", to have a break, to play golf with other ladies, to meet new people and make new friends.

We thought that some ladies may find it rather daunting to join such a group, so we also offer an alternative. For those who would like all the details taken care of, it is possible to join us in beautiful Provence, France where we will meet and greet at the airport and host a small "house party", providing breakfast each day and a "chauffeur" service to golf courses or sightseeing excursions.

For further details of what we offer, go to www.golfgetawayclub.co.uk

The Sea Club, Cala Ratjada, Mallorca

Cala Ratjada, an attractive seaside town in the North East of the island of Mallorca, is now only one hour on the new motorway from the airport and close to some of the finest golf courses on the island.

The town is centred on the port and pedestrianized promenade where there are many cafes and restaurants, all within easy walking distance of The Sea Club, a charming family-owned and run hotel.

With just nineteen individually styled ensuite rooms, with sunny patios and a pool terrace, The Sea Club makes a peaceful and relaxing base from which to sample the local courses.


Brit owners Luis Cumberledge and Jenny Saunders are hosts who treat their visitors as family friends, and guests appreciate the informal atmosphere and high quality cuisine on offer. The medieval hilltop towns of Arta and Capdepera are close by, as are superb sandy beaches.

The hotel is now open year round and welcomes golfers looking for winter or spring breaks when the courses are less busy and the weather is pleasant and balmy without becoming too hot. Non-golfers may enjoy taking part in one of the art or yoga classes at The Sea Club
There are four local golf courses, Canyamel, Son Servera, Pula and Capdepera, all set in spectacular mountain scenery with stunning views over the island. Pula has had a redesign aided by Olazabal and is a challenging course generally reckoned to be worth traveling to from all over the island. All are attractive with excellent facilities including restaurants and Golf
Capdepera has a delightful setting, where the back nine holes climb into the foothills Arta mountains. Players seeking a greater challenge have the Alcanada course, designed by Robert Trent Jones for the more advanced and adventurous player only a short drive away on the north coast

Lunch at The Sea Club

followed by a rest on the patio
