Britons wanting to holiday in France this year have been given a series of top tips on how to save money on accommodation, something that may be worth noting by those keen on buying Brittany property.

Daily Telegraph travel writer Fred Mawer wrote that those keen to keep their costs down due to the credit crunch and the exchange rate could look for a number of cheaper accommodation options.

Mr Mawer suggested that those who book accommodation such as cottages in France could save money by booking direct with the owners and seeking places with less amenities, such as those without a swimming pool.

Those investing in Brittany property may wish to pitch themselves to this market by buying simple, basic accommodation rather than upmarket properties with a wide range of facilities.

Earlier this month, the same paper suggested holidaymakers on a budget could save money using the Dover to Calais ferry service, a method of travel that would suit those visiting the north-west of France.
