Manoir du Hilguy

Brittany, France

DOWNLOAD WALK PACK

Walk Instructions

A pleasant circuit in deepest rural Brittany, away from the crowds but not far from Hilguy. Some rise and fall, but a steep little pull up to the optional diversion to St Brigitte chapel. Le Juch has no tourism pretensions and is without shops; there is a modest Calvary at the parish church. The route of the walk includes a length of the former Quimper to Douarnenez railway line and a mixture of tracks and minor roads.

Start/car parking - Opposite the Mairie in the centre of the village. Public conveniences close by. From Hilguy start as for Quimper via D784, but turn left at the first roundabout on to D56. Go straight across a second roundabout to head for Guengat. Turn left ½ mile after that village, signpost 'le Juch', and follow minor roads to the north west for a little less than 3 miles.

Leave the Mairie along the road almost opposite signposted 'Guengat', passing a small Calvary and adjacent lavoir on the left in about 150 yards. Follow cycle path orange signs (route 17).

1. Continue along this road and after passing the sign for the end of the village of Le Juch take the next left signed Lanalen & Moulin de Kerflous, red and white chain across the road. Go round to the left of farm buildings and follow this track.

2. Reach a little roadway and turn right at the junction. Proceed along this road passing two or three houses up a bank on the left. At this point the tarmac ends. Proceed on the track eventually bearing left and up a slight incline to the road. At this junction turn right and go through the Hamlet.

3. At the far end of the Hamlet the last two houses have well cut hedges these are approximately opposite a 60 Kilometre sign. Here turn left onto a sandy track which joins the trackbed of the former railway line.

Go to 5 if not following the diversion

4. DIVERSION - After three quarters of a mile a hamlet comes into view on the right and in a further 50 yards turn right go over an old stone stile and turn right along a little path. Go under the railway bridge over a stream and fork right in 30 yards. The ascent to St Brigitte chapel is short and steep it is well maintained and sits on a knoll opposite farm buildings and is usually open but there is little of interest inside.

5. Return to the railway track and continue to the road at Le Juch with its former platform, now a grassy bank, on your left and an information board on your right. Turn left up 'Route de la Gare' passing the village lavoir on the right, continue uphill and return to the village passing the Church on your right.

Holiday better with HPB

A. How can I holiday better?

Invest from £5,000 in the Holiday Property Bond for exclusive access to a portfolio of over 1,400 top quality villas, cottages and apartments in over 30 locations across the UK and Europe. For each £1 invested you will receive one Holiday Point each year which you can use to book the properties. And when staying in them you do not pay a commercial rent, just a no-profit user charge covering actual running, maintenance and refurbishment costs. This charge is level throughout the year so there are no high season premiums. For a studio the charge averages about £315 a week, for a two bedroom property around £480 a week. Larger properties are also available. This no-profit user charge is only payable when you want to go on holiday. Your only ongoing commitment is a quarterly fee of around £30 – that is around £130 a year.

B. Will there be more properties in the future?

As we attract more investors the more properties we will add to the portfolio – increasing your holiday choice still further.

C. How long can I holiday with HPB?

For life if you wish – the holiday benefits last as long as you hold the Bond. In due course you can pass it and the holiday benefits to your children and grandchildren, as many of our earlier investors have already done. If, however, at some point you and your family no longer wish to holiday with us you can surrender your Bond back to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances). You will not get back the full amount you invested, although we would hope that you will have had some wonderful holidays. What you do get back will reflect initial charges (25%) taken before your money is invested in the HPB fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself also pays annual charges of around 2.5% and other overheads. The value of the fund’s properties and securities can also go up or down and so, like most investments, your capital is at risk.

How the Holiday Property Bond works

This is a brief summary of how HPB delivers its holiday benefits. To understand it fully, including how its over 1,400 properties cater for all types of holidaymaker and the extra Holiday Points-free holiday opportunities and other offers available, you should find out more so that we can explain just how HPB can provide wonderful holidays for life.

  • An initial payment of as little as £5,000 gives you units in the HPB fund which holds the entire portfolio of villas, cottages and apartments, as well as a securities portfolio, the returns from which go towards management costs. The HPB fund has an initial charge of 25% and pays annual charges of around 2.5% as well as overheads.
  • Every £1 of your initial payment gives you one Holiday Point every year. You can use these Holiday Points to book the HPB property of your choice. The number of Holiday Points required for a property depends on its location and size and the time of year you want to go.
  • HPB's holiday benefits continue every year as long as you or your heirs hold the investment.
  • When you book a holiday you pay a no-profit user charge to cover the actual costs of running and maintaining the properties rather than a commercial rental charge.
  • The only additional payment is a modest quarterly charge of around £30, that is around £130 a year, which can be increased by no more than RPIX.
  • As the Holiday Property Bond is a financial product, technically a life assurance bond, its marketing and promotion requires that we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. You will be given everything you need to understand HPB and in particular the risks as well as the benefits, including restrictions on when you can cash in your HPB investment. As it is a financial product your capital is at risk and you should not expect to get back the full amount you have paid.
  • All new investors benefit from a unique "Money Back Promise". If you take a first HPB holiday at any HPB owned property within three years of investing and are not entirely happy for any reason, you can apply to cash in your HPB investment within fourteen days of your return. Whatever the cash in value the parent company of the issuer of HPB will make up any difference so that you get back the full amount of your original payment. At least one Bondholder must take the first holiday.
  • HPB has no borrowings and all its assets, being the holiday properties, securities and cash, are held by an independent, regulated trustee company.

How much should I invest?

How much you should invest depends on your circumstances – in particular your holiday requirements and preferences. HPB's Holiday Points system is designed to be highly flexible and one of our representatives can explain it fully. Each £1 of your initial payment adds one Holiday Point to the allocation of Holiday Points that you receive every year for as long as you hold your bond.

The minimum initial payment to become a Bondholder is just £5,000. This is considered suitable by a number of new investors who pay this amount to try out the Bond and then go on to "top up" to increase their holiday benefits. Others choose to make a higher payment initially with the average investment in 2021 being around £14,000.

To understand fully how HPB works and to decide on an appropriate level of investment, please book a Private Tour at an HPB holiday location or book a Personal Presentation at a hotel near you. Or call free on 0800 230 0391 to arrange for a representative to meet you at a place of your choosing.

As we have already said this is a brief summary. To understand HPB fully and all its potential advantages, please contact us.

User Charge

The no-profit user charge is all you pay when you book your holiday. It covers the actual costs of servicing the properties, including housekeeping, laundry and maintenance of the many free-to-use-onsite facilities. It is charged per property - NOT per person. And it does not vary with the season: instead, the user-charge remains constant all year round.

For example:

A week for two in the Scottish Highlands could cost around £433 user charge, including VAT*, even at the height of the season.

A week for a party of eight in a four bedroom villa at Physkos, Turkey, in August could cost around £485 in user charge*

*Prices for 2021 and for Turkey based on exchange rate of £1 = 10.5 Turkish Lira (may vary)

Restrictions

If you do not use our "Money Back Promise" offer explained in "How HPB works", you may cash in after two years at a value linked to that of the properties and securities but you should not expect to get back the full amount you paid because of charges and changes in the value of HPB’s properties and securities. In exceptional circumstances cashing in may be deferred for up to twelve months.

Your inflation-protected Holiday Points

HPB's holiday benefits are provided through a Holiday Points system. Each £1 you invest adds one Holiday Point to the allocation of Holiday Points that you receive every year for as long as you hold your bond. Each time you book a holiday, you exchange Holiday Points for the accommodation you want, with the number of Holiday Points required depending on the location, size of property and season.

Here are some examples of how it works in practice (2022 rates):

For two people, holidaying out of season:
A week in Stigliano, Tuscany from 1,530 points
A week in The Trossachs, Scotland from 2,430 points
A week in St Brides Castle, Pembrokeshire from 2,260 points

And in the height of summer:
A week in Rocha Brava, Portgual from 8,190 points
A week in the Lake District from 9,760 points
A week in Le Mont de St Siméon, France from 14,180 points

If you have a minimum qualifying investment you can also book Short Notice Points Free holidays, subject to availability. Bookings can be made up to 28 days in advance for UK holidays and up to 56 days in advance for overseas. Even if you do not have a qualifying investment, you can still book Short Notice Points Free holidays up to 21 days ahead in the UK and up to 42 days ahead overseas.

Inflation protection: Your Holiday Points allocation is re-valued every year in line with the cost of providing additional holiday accommodation for new investors. This means your holiday accommodation booking power is fixed and protected against inflation. So you can look forward to top quality holidays for life.
