Beautiful property in a stunning location. Exceptionally clean and the host was just so lovely. Just one word of warning it’s very hilly but absolutely worth it!!!
We really had an amazing 6-day-stay in the Apartment. The Apartment is lovley and looks even nicer than on the pictures. We loved the big garden and the quiet place. We had great holidays in Dinan.
We had an amazing time in Dinan. You feel all the love and passion Robyn is giving in this place and we are so thankful to be able to live here for a week. The house and the garden are so beautiful and Robyn cared so much, she just made it perfect. We would love to come back again.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful revue, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank ypou for leaving Albertine in such good order, look forward to seeing you again
Kind regards
Robyn
The hosts were brilliant, the property was really well presented and the outside space was awesome, really everything we could have asked for. The local town is mediaeval and has some fantastic walks, food and shops, a short walk down to the river and the riverside restaurants and boating trips.The hosts, Robyn and Ross almost feel.like family and we will definately be back.

I have stayed at many giveaway properties but very few have been as perfect as this one.
This cottage is a perfect property as your home away from home. From its charming decor to its stunning gardens it has all the amenities needed to make this a perfect retreat. The cottage is in immaculate condition and Robyn provided the little extras that make it so special- a bottle of wine and homemade muffins! The location is also perfect for exploring the quaint town of Dinan as well as some of the other charming areas around Brittany. This is one of those places that I would return to over and over again if I lived closer.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay here with us, we endeavour to make our guests feel at home here in our lovely envirement, thank you for a wonderful eview and hope to see you again some day
Pictures cannot do this property justice, it is in a stunning location. Robyn is a wonderful host who could not do enough for us.
The property is small but has everything we needed and is perfect for two, we stayed a week and were so sad to leave.
The exterior of the property is a real treasure, gardens tended by the host and a rooftop terrace to soak up the summer sun, very private.
The property is on a wonderful street, leading from the port to the town, Dinan is simply beautiful.
We would not hesitate to recommend this property and would love to return.
A very nice, hidden little spot in the middle of the old town. Very wel equipped and cared for (for instance we were happy to have some coffee for the first morning and stuff to do the dishes). And indeed, the garden is beautiful (to stay in) and host Robyn is very kind and helpful in all concerns. I sometimes had a little trouble in finding enough space in the not too big bed, but we always could find a place for our car in the neighbourhood.

little diamond of dinan!
"little diamond of dinan!"
Where do i start?.... the wonderful welcome of 2 lovely people and their pretty little pooch who greet you with homemade jam, muffins and wine, or the dynamic Robyn who puts herself well out to ensure your holiday runs smoothly as possible, the beautiful gardens with their panoramic views or even the luxurious bedlinen, soft furnishings and rustic charm of Albertine cottage herself? It really doesnt matter where i start because i couldnt think of anywhere better to stay than Albertine to compliment the sheer beauty of Dinan. Thankyou robyn, ross, molly and the "little diamond of dinan!" xx

This replaces the previous reply submitted by Kerry for Jasmine she unfortunately got the name of the apartment wrong and submitted the review for Jasmine the sister apartment instead of Albertine

Albertine
We spent nearly 2 weeks living in Albertine and our stay was perfect in every way.
We endorse all that other reviewers have said about Albertine and the sister, slightly smaller, gite Jasmine.
Albertine is a good size for a couple. On the first floor is a generous double bed with lovely sheets and the bathroom is on the same floor.
A large TV downstairs in the living room is tuned to English channels.
Parking is free and was always available on a steep road nearby.
You must be able to cope with steep cobbled slopes, but that is one of the charms of living in this beautiful historic town which we were revisiting after many years.
Robyn was the perfect hostess. She works hard in her beautiful garden which was in its prime. One day a blackcap serenaded us at breakfast, always taken outside.
We thoroughly recommend Albertine

All expectations exceeded
We booked Albertine Cottage for a week towards the end of a six week tour of France. We chose Dinan largely because of its location in relation to many sights including Mont Saint Michel but five minutes after our arrival, we realised that we had happily happened onto a real gem.
For a start, the accommodation is as comfortable and beautiful as promised by the website photos but you can't appreciate a setting like a medieval film set until you are in it; and the gite is right in the middle of all this!
The website didn't mention the friendly, supportive welcome that you get from Robyn and Ross and their beautiful fluffy dog, Molly.
We had done enough homework to know Dinan is in a wonderful position, but we didn't realise until Robyn and Ross opened our eyes to a wealth of other attractions. Our favourite destinations, other than Le Mont Saint Michel, were day trips to Jersey, St Malo, the D Day beaches and Caen, Bayeaux, the oysters at Cancale, the walk to Léhon, the battlements around Dinan and the markets, particularly at Rennes.
Suffice to say, we stayed two weeks and we are planning to return.
Logement d’un très grand charme. Un petit jardinet merveilleux dans Dinan et des hôtes tellement sympathiques. Ce fut un véritable bonheur. Ma compagne et moi avons vraiment sympathisé avec Robyn et Ross qui aiment vraiment la Bretagne
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der sehr gemütlich eingerichteten Wohnung und dem wunderschönen Garten sehr genossen. Wir wurden von Robyn sehr herzlich empfangen und war uns eine sehr gute Gastgeberin. Die Ausstattung der kleinen Wohnung ließ keine Wünsche offen. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Je recommande ce cottage. Il est parfaitement entretenu et décoré avec gout. Robin notre hôtesse est charmante, elle est présente en toute discrétion.
Je vous laisse la surprise des petites découvertes que Robin vous réserve.
Net en schoon verblijf in een opgeknapt oud huis met een heerlijke tuin en midden in de stad Dinan. Heel aardige en gastvrije verhuurders. Heel fijne dagen gehad en zeker een aanrader.
Excellent séjour dans le jardin de Robyn, idéalement situé en plein Dinan, entre le port et les remparts. Un petit coeur de verdure dans la ville. Superbe jardin très calme. Robyn nous a fourni plein de bons tuyaux sur la ville et les alentours. Nous avons hâte d'y revenir.
Excellent séjour, le cadre est magnifique. Le jardin est de toute beauté. Robyn est une hôtesse discrète et aux petits soins, confiture et muffins maison, une bouteille de vin au frais nous avons été choyés. Dinan est une très jolie destination.
Nous avons passé 5 jours très agréables dans cette jolie ville de Dînan. Tout était parfait : la location décorée avec goût et parfaitement entretenue, le jardin anglais magnifique, le calme, l’excellent accueil de Robyn (encore merci !) nous y retournerons !
