The Service was excellent from start to finish.. We received a very warm welcome when we checked in at reception plus this Lady's English was brilliant. Such a multi talented lady. She was informative and very cheerful in her delivery of the information. We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday on the Calypso. The upper deck was spacious enough to relax and enjoy the views or be the Captain for a while. The table was a little on the large side as it was in the way when not in use.. Having a BBQ on the upper deck was a great asset. If we book another Le Boat holiday then I think we would hire bikes too as touring around from the boat would be easier on wheels rather than on foot . We stopped by at very characteristic villages and really loved our holiday in Brittany.
