Great Location

Stayed for 5 nights over Easter. This rental is very close to the seafront and all amenities in Dinard and has safe off street parking which is a big plus. Less than 10 minute stroll to small supermarket and 10 min drive to large one outside the town. It has 2 good double rooms and 2 small attic rooms for young children (not babies or toddlers, up a spiral staircase). The bathroom and toilet are quite small as is the kitchen but it was well equipped and had all we needed. Washing machine is v small (3.5kg) - not great if travelling with children. Also I couldn’t work out if it had a dryer or not, don’t think so. Wi-Fi was fast and worked well. We could also use TV as smartTV with chromecast no problem. We had to bring our own bedding and towels (left it too late to rent) not included in price. Be sure to check sizes, duvet was king size not double and one of the kids beds had a double duvet. Not very accessible if you have mobility issues or a lot to carry, up a flight of stairs and spiral staircase to children’s beds. Nigel was very responsive with any questions we had prior to arrival.

Ideale Lage, keine 5 min. zum Plage de l'Écluse. Alles gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Parkplatz ist Gold wert. Netter Host, mit guten Tipps für Dinard. Unterkunft in die Jahre gekommen, Sollte mal renoviert werden. Preis-/ Leistung in meinen Augen etwas zu ambitioniert. Ungewöhnlich war für uns, dass wir Bettwäsche und Handtücher selbst mitbringen mussten. Haben wir so nirgends erlebt, auch nicht in anderen Teilen Frankreichs. Da wir recht kurzfristig buchen mussten, blieb uns aber keine andere Wahl, ähnlich gut gelegene Quartiere mit Parkplatz waren nicht mehr verfügbar.

Déçue

Le logement est idéalement situé et décoré avec goûts il offre la possibilité de se stationner ce qui est vraiment pratique avec une belle vue sur la mer mais les équipements sont nettement a revoir. Le linge de lit et de bain n' est pas fourni et la qualité des matelas est vraiment mauvaise ,le four et le réfrigérateur sont petits pour un logement qui accueille 6 personnes. Le voisinage lors de reunions festives ne respectent pas les nuisances sonores et le voisinages. Nous avons durant cette semaine rencontré différents problèmes , pas de sèche cheveux, nuisibles tel que fouines à l 'étage et les bruits que cela engendrent ( impossible de dormir et encore moins à l 'etage ) Je suis navrée de cet avis défavorable et déçue de cette location pour une semaine de vacances plus fatiguante que reposante.

Comme vous le savais, nous nous sommes parler à plusieurs reprises pendant votre séjour afin de résoudre des problèmes que vous avez signalées. Les facteurs externes que vous avez soulevés ont été signalés et seront traités par le syndic a toute vitesse. En ce qui concerne les autres points soulevées, nous avons pris la décision de rompre avec la société chargé de la gestion de notre bien afin que tous les points soient abordés et rectifiés par nous personnellement. D’ailleurs, nous sommes fiers des excellentes évaluations que nous avons obtenue au fil des quinze dernières années. Nous avons l'intention de continuer dans la bonne voie.
