Where to stay for 4 driving days in Brittany?

I%26#39;ll be exploring Brittany, by car, for four days or maybe five in mid June. Where is a good spot to stay, conveniently located so I can visit various towns? My wife and I love the beach and wonder if it will be warm enough in the region in mid June. We prefer to stay in towns with restaurants and shops rather than in remote locations. Also, can we find tennis courts in any Brittany towns?

Dear Christopher

We stay at a hotel (also has campsite %26amp; golf course in another part of the facility) once a year for the last few years. It is situated about 30 minutes or so from St Malo %26amp; not far from Mont St Michel (30 minutes), Combourg %26amp; Rennes within driving distance. Staff fluent in English if language an issue %26amp; SUPERB meals very reasonably priced. Web address as follows:

Tennis court on site the last I looked. Lovely restaurants in town but the hotel one we found to be very good. In fact we are headed there once again this weekend. Temperature in JUne upper teens to lower twenties (celsius). Good luck with the search for your holiday.

Try Mur de Bretagne in Central Brittany.

Mur has 4 restaurants: 2 creperies - Creperie Chapelle St Suzanne, Creperie Bles d%26#39;Or; 1 Gourmet restaurant - Auberge Gran%26#39;Maison; several bars one of which is a bar/restaurant - Hotel La Perriere.

Mur is 10 minutes from the mediaeval ruins of Abbey Bon Repos; 10 minutes from St Aignan and its Electricity Museum; 15 minutes from Pontivy with its chateau, Monday Market; 20 mins from Loudeac with its shops and swimming pool; 15 minutes from Gouarec with its Crazy Golf and Swimming Pool; 20 minutes from Corlay with its chateau and horse racing.
