Your next holiday destination with your dogs
Two holiday cottages in Southern Brittany
La Belle Vilaine enjoys an ideal location in Southern Brittany, right on the border with Loire-Atlantique, perfect for those seeking the best of both worlds. Your cottage is nestled in a peaceful and friendly hamlet, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, exceptional wildlife and just a short stroll from the beautiful Vilaine River.
Your English hosts, Paul and Elaine, live on-site and have been welcoming 2- and 4-legged guests since 2005
The Belle Vilaine cottages are located in Brittany, in the commune of Nivillac, close to La Roche‑Bernard — a ‘Petite Cité de Caractère’ on the banks of the Vilaine River.
Located on the border between Morbihan and Loire‑Atlantique, these cottages enjoy a privileged setting — surrounded by countryside yet only ten minutes by car from the shops, restaurants, and picturesque lanes of the sleepy medieval port of La Roche‑Bernard.
The environment is calm and green, perfect for relaxation, with the Vilaine River nearby offering beautiful walks and water activities from the door. Each cottage has its own enclosed private garden, as well as a large shared space, ideal for families and travelers with pets AND a bespoke doggie paddling pool!
The region is rich in heritage: ports, beaches, museums, artisans, and traditional crêperies are just a few kilometers away. On a map, La Belle Vilaine is easy to spot — in southern Morbihan, right at the edge of Loire‑Atlantique, between peaceful countryside and riverside charm.

They stayed with us… here are their impressions
A spacious and comfortable cottage in a beautiful region. The welcome is warm, and canine activities (hoopers, scent work, training…) are offered by Elaine, who is both passionate and a great teacher
We had a wonderful stay with Paul and Elaine by the Vilaine river. The cottage is peaceful and restful, and we slept very well. Thank you to Paul and Elaine for their kindness and warm welcome. Special thanks to Elaine for her valuable advice, which helped us better understand our dog. We’ll be back.
We had a pleasant stay at Elaine and Paul’s cottage. They are charming, responsive, and attentive hosts, while still giving space. The cottage is very well designed and perfectly suited for furry friends — it truly feels like home. A big thank you for your trust and the moments we shared
