About David Bartlett
We are David and Sandy Bartlett. We bought the property, an old farmhouse and barn in 1999, on the eve of the millennium. In 2001 we moved over here to live permanently with our two daughters, Daisy and Kitty, who are now twenty -two and twenty, respectively.
Sandy was a Primary School teacher in England and has continued to work as a teacher over here. Fortunately she has a degree in French which has been an advantage. David is an audio-visual and sound engineer whose work is usually overseas.
Brittany is a lovely part of the world and we are very happy here. We will be on hand, but not intrusive, to offer advice and information to make your stay with us as enjoyable as possible
David Bartlett purchased this barn in 1999
Why David Bartlett chose Jugon-les-Lacs
We had often dreamt of owning a property in France but it became a reality after a visit to friends in the region in 1999. Sandy viewed the property and instantly fell in love with it and we put an offer in before David had even seen it. David, subsequently, spent a weekend here and
the deed was done!
We spent many holidays here and then decided to move here in 2001. We actually unloaded all our furniture and belongings in the morning and were on the beach at midday. It was a truly wonderful start to our life here.
While Dolo is a very small village, it is perfectly positioned in relation to some of the most beautiful sights in the area. Dinan, a medieval town and port is only twenty minutes away and there are also stunning beaches twenty- five minutes away in either direction.
What makes this barn unique
Dolo is a peaceful little village but benefits from a great little bakery with a bar and shop attached. The bakery is literally next door and provides a variety of bread and patisserie. We also have a really great creperie in the village which serves savoury buckwheat galettes, burgers and steaks and delicious crepes.
There are some great walks in the area and marked cycle routes of varying difficulty. There is a children's playground, basketball court and fitness trail next to the lake which is about 100 metres from the gite. Small sailing boats and pedalos are available to hire in the next village, Jugon-les-lacs with its many restaurants.

The Gite was beautifully presented clean and comfortable with everything needed for our holiday
We would like to thank Sandy and David for their helpfulness and friendliness during our week long stay with them. Our three little grandaughters absolutely loved the pool and hot tub and were quite tearful when we left to come home. Thank you also Sandy and David for our welcome pack of beer wine and other essentials it was extremely welcome after a day travelling in the car. We would love to return again soon.
Fantastic Gite in beautiful surroundings
We had a wonderful holiday the Gite is perfect and the facilities and gardens
David and Sandy are the perfect hosts and we look forward to staying again
Highly recommended.
Absolutely fantastic
What a great place to stay with everything you need, plus really hospitable hosts. 5 + a baby all had a fantastic time, and can't wait until we can arrange another stay!!
Perfect holiday
Great cottage, fantastic hosts and centrally located to all the must see's in the area. I give it the highest recommendation
Lovely family friendly holiday.
We enjoyed 2 weeks here, with our 2 sons aged 3 and 16 months. The boys loved playing in the garden and exploring the local area. The barn is spacious and well equipped.
The owners went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. The bottles of wine when we arrived were very well received.
We were fortunate to have warm weather, which meant we went to some nearby beaches. They were easy to get to and ideal for young children to play.
We visited Dinard, St Cast and Dinan. We also went to the local lake and market. The water park not far from the barn is good to walk around and has a nice playground. We stopped for drinks at the cafe here and watched the wake boarders.
We were sad to leave as we had such a lovely holiday.
Lovely gite. Very well kept and tidy.
Had a lovely stay. Gite is beautiful - everywhere is clean with lovely furnishings. On arrival there is a welcome pack of milk and other essentials and the log burner lit so lovely and cosy.Would like to say a special thank you to gite owners sandy and Dave who are the most helpful and lovely people and nothing is too much trouble for them. Would definitely stay here again.
