A lovely stay in a lovely gite

We had a lovely two week stay at Laurence and Jacky’s property, the garden in particular is gorgeous and vast. The location is great and locations like St Malo, Dinard, Dinan, Cancale and Mont St Michel within a short driving distance. We would definitely recommend to others.

Good convenient family accomodation

The large garden and pool were great for the children.Everything advertised was present and in good working order. The constant hot water and excellent shower room were greatly appreciated. The veranda area and wonderful trees made being outside very enjoyable. Well situated for the many coastal and inland attractions.

Very niet place in a beautifull environment

It is a beautifull house, which includes everything that is needed for a family holiday. The swimmingpool was excellent for us and our small children, just as the house. Very large and beautifull garden. A week was just a bit short with everything the north of Bretagne has to offer: St Malo, beaches, mt. St. Michel, Dinand, Acquarium, and a lot more.

We had a lovely week here, the house has everything we needed (2 adults & 2 teenagers) and the garden is beautiful, and incredibly peaceful. Laurence and Jacky were there to welcome us on arrival, and Laurence showed us around and recommended places to visit (we went to Mont St Michel and St Malo, both short drives) - we managed well with a combination of French and English :) we rented the sheets & towels etc but didn’t have cash so paid next day. With hot weather the pool was fantastic! Also managed pétanque & badminton in well-stocked garden. The house has a dvd player and we got some dvd bargains in nearby supermarket! The layout worked well for kids to have a room each upstairs and we had downstairs room. All beds are huge! We would certainly return. Thank you for hosting us!

Brittany Roadtrip

An absolute gem of a find!! This Gite has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. We explored the area visiting the local Zoo (Bourbanais) located in a Chateaux's grounds, exceptional. Also Cancale is beautiful and the Oysters, WOW - Dozen for less than £10 - what can you say. Also visited Rennes which is oldy worldy and well worth the visit, less than 1 hour drive. Limited number of restaurants in the area, but this is rural France after all. Dol de Bretagne, about 4 miles along the main road is lovely with some nice bistros. For some days we just lay in the gardens and soaked up the sun - lovely. Laurence was very informative and made us very welcome. Thank you

Just perfect!!!!!

Beautiful spotless gîte in a quiet location in Lafresnais, perfectly located: not far from St Malo and the Mont st Michel, near the beach . Very comfortable bedding, the swimming pool was very clean and well appreciated on hot days. The garden ( or should I say park) is so big and peaceful, full of trees, plants fish/hens. You can do many activities such as volleyball/petanque or enjoy walking around it(try finding the secret pond).A perfect getaway. The owners Lawrence and Jacky were very kind and welcoming, they are clearly very passionate about their home/garden and care about their guests, which is rare these days. I give Lawrence and Jacky 10/10 . I highly recommend this gite. You will not be disappointed.

Rural stay

Lovely property and amazing garden. The property was well equipped and garden area particularly good for the children. Badminton boules swings loungers and small unheated pool. One bedroon and bathroom downstairs, with toilet directly off the kitchen area, a bit disconcerting. The other two bedrooms were slightly larger and accessed with a spiral staircase which proved a little difficult with a young child keen to explore. We found ways of blocking it off though. TV in every room but we didnt use these. No bath but good shower and well lit mirrors. Basic kitchen equipment but good enough for most meals we made. The only drawback I found was the cost of extras, sheets 20€ cleaning 80 € and welcome pack . Check out time was a bit early at 9.00am and the owner turned up on the dot to inspect. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Sejour rural avec toutes les commodités (wifi, et à 1 km commerces (boulangerie, superette, pharmarcie, station-service etc ...), dans les options il y a draps de lits, de douche et torchons qui sont facultatifs comme le ménage mais vu l'état du gîte à votre départ et l'état des toilettes je n'en parlerai pas. pour vous il aurait fallu que le ménage de départ soit facturé plus de 80 euros. Pour l'heure du départ j'ai fini le ménage très tard dans l'après-midi pour l'arrivée de d'autres touristes qui arrive à 16 heures et le balai n'était pas en option.

Beautiful Holiday

This was an amazing place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this cottage. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, bedding was good quality. It took us a few days to get used to the pillows, as they are very different to pillows used in UK, but this is only a small matter. We were brave and used the swimming pool, despite the slightly cool weather. The gardens are huge but unfortunately we were not able to mae the most of all of the space as the weather didn't really favour sitting outside. We did however eat outside under the canopy every night. The cottage is extremely quiet and private. Laurence is a friendly and beautifully kind lady who was on hand if we needed her. Our only negative comment was that we would have appreciated a welcome pack. We arrived late afternoon during a storm, after travelling since 8:00am. We had thankfully stopped at the supermarket when we arrived in France as we were aware that Sunday opening hours can be sporadic in France. This was a saving grace as there were no provisions at all other than 1 toilet roll and 1 dishwasher tablet. In previous stays in France we have been left tea, coffee, bread and sometimes a bottle of wine or juice. It just felt a little disappointing that this had not been considered. This did not spoil our amazing holiday but though it worth mentioning so others are prepared in advance. quality. It took us a little

Lovely rural idyll with a delightful garden and small dipping pool, lovely verandah for eating and the property was stylishly decorated. One bedroom downstairs and it's a french door and two more bedrooms upstairs up and metal circular stairway. There was one beautiful bathroom and toilet, both off the kitchen. Welcoming host. The only downside was a problem with bats, who were pupping in the property. The adults flew around and we found many pups in various places. Although we kept the doors and windows shut they reappeared, presumably through cracks.

Schöner Urlaub im Mai 2024

Wir (2 Personen) hatten einen sehr schönen 2 wöchigen Urlaub. Laurence und ihr Mann haben das Haus selber renoviert/restauriert. Es ist genau wie im Inserat beschrieben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können es definitiv weiter empfehlen. Es igbt einen super tollen Garten, einen Park, ein Traum. Auch die überdachte Terrasse ist super, auch bei Regen (den hatten wir das ein oder andere Mal) kann man dennoch draußen sitzen (ich habe viel gelesen). Es gibt im Garten verschiedene Sitzmöglichkeiten und Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Der Pool ist toll, auch wenn wir ihn nicht genutzt haben (es war uns im Mai noch zu kalt ;-) ). Das Haus bietet genug Platz. Das Bad ist groß und hat eine tolle Dusche, 2 Waschbecken und es gibt top genug Ablagemöglichkeiten, das gibt es nicht oft :-) Die Gegend ist toll und es gibt jede Menge zu erkunden! Vielen Dank Laurence und Jackie für die tolle Zeit.

Urlaub in einem großen botanischen Garten

Wir wurden von Laurence sehr nett empfangen und konnten uns jederzeit bei Fragen an sie wenden. Unsere Ferienwoche hatte auch Anfang September hochsommerliche Temperaturen und deshalb genoss ich es im Freien, in der Hängematte, zu schlafen und am Morgen den Vögeln zu lauschen, auch ein Füchslein hörte man. Schöne Strände findet man bei Cancale und viele Ausflugsziele in alle Richtungen. Auf dem GR 34 kann man an der Küsten entlang wandern. Vielen Dank an Familie Gauplé
