An ideal beachfront holiday with family or friends awaits…
“What a pleasure to wake up in the morning and feel as if you’re almost on a boat”
Guestbook entry for L’Hippocampe, February 15, 2020.

At the Port de la Houle, you can enjoy a historic fisherman’s cottage that has been renovated to preserve the spirit of the Cap-Horniers, fully furnished and decorated, with 150 m² of living space spread over two floors. The Hippocampe residence can accommodate up to 10 people in its 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It includes all the comforts you need: beds, mattresses, comforters, pillows, a TV, and appliances such as an oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher…

From the bright balcony, adorned with magnificent 1-meter-tall bronze seahorses and offering a direct view of the sea, you can see Mont Saint-Michel at the far end of the bay while enjoying oysters.

Must-see sites…
The Hippocampe residence is ideally located on the Brittany coast, near the walled city of Saint-Malo, just a few kilometres from Mont Saint-Michel and its bay, Cap Fréhel, Dinan, and the Rance Valley, and one hour from the Forest of Brocéliande. It boasts an exceptional and privileged setting.

If you’re coming for a cultural getaway, you’ll be close to all the region’s major heritage sites.

If you’re coming for a culinary getaway, Cancale is home to the best restaurants in Brittany, including “Le Coquillage” by the famous Michelin-starred chef Roellinger.

Work or telecommute with a view of the sea…
The Hippocampe residence has ultra-high-speed fiber-optic internet and Wi-Fi coverage on both floors, making it ideal for telecommuting in peace or for small workshop groups.

Wonderful Cancale!

The property is in a great location within the old port with magnificent sea views, which change every day. With a short walk to shops and restaurants and a short drive to amazing beaches, we would highly recommend a holiday at L'hippocampe aux Bornes!

Notre séjour entre amis à Cancale a été très agréable. Le logement est très propre, lumineux, proche des commerces. Il bénéficie d une vue magnifique sur la mer. Il constitue un excellent point de départ pour visiter la région. Le propriétaire est accueillant, disponible et répond immédiatement aux petits problèmes techniques, dus aux travaux d amélioration du logement. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir et recommandons cette location. 😀
