Welcome to The Retreat.

The Retreat Lake is in a secluded position, and located only 6 kms from the beautiful river town of Chateau-Gontier in Mayenne. The town offers excellent facilities including  a variety of supermarkets and shops, restaurants, bars, a swimming pool, boat trips along the river and a weekly market. The Retreat Lake can be reached by car from the ports of  Boulogne in 4.5hrs, Calais in 5hrs, Caen(Ouistreham) in 3hrs and St-Malo in 1.5hrs. The Retreat Lake is located about 30 mins south of  Laval, the capital of Mayenne and the A81 motorway.

Craig and Caroline Neary live on site to welcome you personally to The Retreat and help you make the most of your stay. We are on hand to provide you with information about what to do and where to go should you wish to leave the lake.

Being family run, we understand that not everyone wants to fish. Our venue has been specifically planned to ensure that all members of the family have plenty to do and naturally, being in rural France, there is no shortage of exciting and beautiful places to visit.

Enjoy your visit to our site and please feel free to browse around to find what The Retreat has available to you. Also do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries about our lake, accommodation or other activities and amenities close by.
