HPB provides holidays for life. As it is an investment product, however, it is subject to charges, your capital is at risk and you may not be able to cash in during your first two years. Please read "How HPB works" for a summary of the principal risks and benefits.

Manoir du Hilguy is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,500 properties to over 40,000 investors across more than 30 locations. You can find out more about Manoir du Hilguy below, but first a brief explanation about the Holiday Property Bond.

A. How can I holiday better?

Invest from £5,000 in the Holiday Property Bond for exclusive access to a portfolio of over 1,500 top quality villas, cottages and apartments in 32 locations across 13 European countries, including over 600 properties in 19 locations in the UK. 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. The average charge for a studio is around £360 and around £540 for a two bedroom property, for 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 under £38 (that is around £150 a year), linked to RPIX.

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% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly, as well as 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.

Close to the village of Plogastel St. Germain, in one of the most picturesque corners of Brittany, stands the 18th century chateau of Le Manoir du Hilguy. Once the home of French aristocracy, this fine house has been restored and converted to provide modern apartments and cottages, providing a unique holiday experience.

Here you can enjoy the peace and beauty of a particularly lovely part of rural France. This is also an area that is steeped in history, with many magnificent chateaux, stately homes, castles and fortifications to discover just a short drive away from Le Manoir.

Among the other local attractions are Bénodet, a charming seaside village with white sandy beaches; and Pont l'Abbé, southwest of Quimper, which has a superb shopping centre, a fascinating market and many fine castles, museums and churches. And for holidaymakers who love exercise and fresh air, there are plenty of walks to enjoy in the region, following well-marked paths, taking in glorious cliffs, forgotten river valleys, beautiful medieval villages and the most unspoilt scenery.

Brittany is famed for its seafood cuisine – 80 per cent of France's shellfish come from the region, so don't just go for the scenery, go for the food too!

Manoir du Hilguy, Brittany, France is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,500 properties to its 40,000 investors ("Bondholders"). If you are not already a Bondholder and would like further details please see below.

Take in some fresh sea air

The seaside resort of Bénodet is popular with tourists and locals in the summer, thanks largely to its sandy beaches. Keen walkers and cyclists also love the resort's many cycle and footpaths.

Alternatively, Le Guilvinec's quayside is a wonderful place to watch the fishermen come in with their catches. As you might expect, the seafood restaurants here are superb too.

Go for a walk along the Crozon Peninsula

Part of the Armorique Regional Nature Park, Crozon Peninsula is one of the best places to go walking in the region. With 120km of coastal paths, you'll enjoy stunning views, particularly from the Penhir headland and the three rocks better known as Menez-Hom (‘at the giant's feet'). However, many of the paths can also be enjoyed on horseback or bicycle.

Play a game of golf (or two)

If you love golf, then you're in luck – there are five courses within an hour of Manoir du Hilguy. The 18-hole golf course at La Forêt Fouesnant, Golf de Cornouaille, gives players a fantastic view of the bay. It's also the oldest course in Brittany and surprisingly challenging, so beware if you're a newbie to the sport!

Take part in one of the many festivals

The Bretons are fond of their festivals – a huge number occur every year in the summer. There's something for everyone too, as there are festivals for music, religion, food, dance and more. Each one is traditional and colourful, so it's worth checking to see if any coincide with your next holiday.

Enjoy the rugged coastline of Pointe du Raz

Pointe du Raz is a popular tourist spot, and it's easy to see why. The most western point in Finistère, the rocky cliffs, crashing waves and La Vielle lighthouse make this one of the best views in the area.

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 £324 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 £577 in user charge

We're so confident you'll be delighted with HPB that we offer you a 'Money Back Promise'!

In regular surveys, Bondholders tell us how happy they are with HPB holidays. That's why we feel confident in giving you the extra reassurance of our unprecedented 'Money Back Promise':

If you take your first HPB holiday within three years of investing and are not, for any reason, entirely happy, you can cash in your HPB investment within 14 days of your return.

Whatever the encashment 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, including charges.

This offer applies to a holiday at any HPB owned property which is taken by at least one of the Bondholders themselves.

Full details of the offer will be provided before you invest.

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 (including any adviser charge) 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.
