About this property

Beautifully Restored Detached Stone House

Situated in its own grounds in a hamlet between Megrit and Jugon Les Lacs. Jugon is a ‘petit cite de caricature de Bretagne’. The medieval town of Dinan is 20 minutes away and the northern coast (including ferry at St Malo) is 40 minutes.
The house is built in stone and enjoys a large garden. Ground floor: New Kitchen/Breakfast room, Dining room (one wall of renovated stone with decorative arch and large Breton fireplace), Study, Living room, (wood burning stove), bathroom and laundry room. First Floor: 3 double bedrooms (2 double and 1 twin/double with play station 3 for the kids), and 3 bathrooms all ensuite. Second Floor: 1 huge double bedroom and ensuite living room (suitable for family). FREE ENGLISH and FRENCH SATELLITE TV and FREE WI FI INTERNET. A heated communal outdoor swimming pool is just 5 minutes away by the side of the lake in high season.


Property Location: Le Tertre de Fresne is situated in its own enclosed, extensive grounds in a very quiet hamlet mid-way between the picturesque towns of Megrit and Jugon Les Lacs. A tarred single-track road leads to the hamlet, which contains about 10 houses, including a working dairy farm (ideal for children!). Megrit and Jugon are both about 5 minutes away by car and contain a number of local shops and other facilities. Jugon, in particular, is a really pretty town. It is a ‘petit cite de caractere de Bretagne’, with a lovely traditional town square with a boulongerie (for freshly baked croissants etc!), charcuterie, grocery, post office and banks. The town also contains a number of excellent restaurants, including a creperie, and traditional French bistro with set menus from about 10 Euro (we recommend this one particularly highly!). Jugon also has swimming and sporting facilities.

Local Attractions: About 20 minutes away is the medieval town of Dinan, which contains numerous restaurants, cafes, art and craft shops, medieval sites (castle, walls, churches etc.). The town is divided into two; the main part is surrounded by medieval walls and castle, with lovely cobbled streets and out door cafes. The second part is located around the small port on the river, with more restaurants and boat cruises to St Malo, Dinard or even the Channel Islands. Dinan also has a superb hyper-market on its outskirts (Le Clerc) which is open 6 days a week, including lunchtimes! The property is very conveniently located for reaching the northern coast. Resorts such as Dinard, St Jacut, Erquy etc, with their great beaches, are all a maximum of 40 minutes away. There are also many inland sites reachable within roughly the same time such as medieval Josselin and Moncontour.

Getting there: The closest channel port is St Malo, which is only 40 minutes away, but Cherbourg, Caen etc (with their faster crossings) are still only 3 hours drive away. It is possible to come via the Channel Tunnel, but be prepared for about a 6 hour drive!

The nearest airport is Dinard which is only 40 minutes away. Rennes is the next closest at about an hour and it takes approximately 4 - 5 hours to drive from Paris (all autoroute, except the last few miles)

Séjour très agréable.
Excellent séjour malgré quelques petits désagréments : Il faut faire un peu de ménage en arrivant, Internet & télévision passent mal (il faut avoir de la patience), fuite du siphon d'un des deux bacs de l'évier (propriétaire prévenu) & pas de torchon pour essuyer la vaisselle. Je recommande néanmoins ce gîte calme dans un environnement bucolique & je le relouerai bien volontiers à l'occasion.

A relaxing, peaceful stay in a spacious property
This property was located in a peaceful, rural location. There were plenty of seating areas both inside and outside. The house was very well-equipped and very comfortable. There was a constant supply of hot water. The owner sent us plenty of detailed information, prior to our arrival and checked in with us during the stay and on departure. The extensive library, board games and videos were appreciated. Les Vignes was a great place for our family holiday.

La piscine Privative n'est pas avec la maison, mais à 4km sur la base de loisir entrée 11€ par personne. La table de la cuisine était instable et une chaise qui a était recollée s'est cassée. Les prises des lampadaires ou lampe de chevet sont équipées de prises Anglaise.(nous n'avions pas d'adaptateur) quelques ampoules étaient grillées. L’état du salon de jardin en résine était plus que moyen. La fermeture du portail était descellée. Néanmoins maison très spacieuse au calme, grandes chambres avec salle de bain. équipement de la cuisine parfait.

Une maison spacieuse et confortable
Nous avons passé une agréable semaine dans cette maison à 8 (4 adultes, 2 enfants et 2 bébés). Parfaitement adaptée pour cette configuration, la maison est grande, confortable, dispose de tout le nécessaire. Point de départ idéal pour découvrir la région (château, écomusée à proximité immédiate, stations balnéaires à une trentaine de minutes.) L'hôte est disponible et a répondu rapidement à toutes nos questions. Je recommande vivement!

Lovely property
We really enjoyed our visit, we stayed over new year, it is in a lovely location with very good walks nearby and further afield. We love cooking and were delighted to find that the house is very well equipped with all kitchen and dining facilities. We lit the fires, although the house is very warm with efficient heating. Highly reccommended.

The house was a lovely place to stay and. we enjoyed our stay. Just one thing would have helped us that being the name of the property as we got a little lost finding it. That said I would stay there again and recommend it highly. Thanks

4 go to Brittany
What a fabulous place to stay in Brittany. The accommodation was clean and tidy with all you could need and plenty of room. The house was a little cold as we visited in early May, but shortly after lighting the log burner it was lovely and toastie. Once the sun came out there was plenty of seats and different seating areas around the garden to make the most of. The location was perfect, 40 minutes to the North coast and the wonderful scenery around Cap Frehel, 25 minutes to the beautiful medieval town of Dinan, and an hour from the stunning Mont St Michel. A 10 minute drive to the town of Jugon-Les-Lacs provided the bakery for breakfast and two very good evening meals in Le Donatello. The perfect place to stay to relax, as so quiet, and yet close enough to explore the delights Brittany has to offer.

Lovely, characterful, big French house in lovely peaceful setting
We had a lovely week at Les Vignes. The house is everything you would imagine from a big, old, characterful, French house. The amount of space was brilliant for us with two teenage boys, but in the evenings we all gathered together in the lounge to enjoy a blazing log fire and have some great family time watching films together. The house was very well equipped and we were able to cook and prepare meals just as we would at home. The washing machine etc all worked perfectly which was important for us as we travelled light and did do a couple of washes. Our boys enjoyed the luxury of having a large bedroom and en suite each, as did we. There was a further massive room on the third floor that we didn’t use. The garden was lovely with good bbq facilities, fresh herbs for cooking and badminton and boules for the kids. Jugon-les-Lacs was definitely the best, nearest village to go to each day for bread (5 mins drive) and had 3 to 4 places to eat and a supermarket open for long hours each day and also Sunday mornings. We also made use of the swimming pool at Jugon-les-Lacs which is part of a campsite but open to the public for a relatively small fee. Mégrit which is the other nearest village is worth visiting, but now only has a small tea shop rather than a bakers, so best to go for afternoon tea or a delicious homemade ice cream later in the day. Dinan and Dinard are an easy drive away and the beaches at St Briac Sur Mer and St Lunair are a must if the weather is good. Overall we had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing week in a big, old and characterful French house which we would highly recommend.

Perfect location and it felt like home
Les Vignes was the perfect setting for our family holiday. The house is very comfortable, provides plenty of room and is full of character, with everything we needed - indoors and outdoor and just as described. The badminton was a lovely surprise! The location is great, with the beautiful Jugon -les-Lacs just 10 minutes away. We also visited Dinan, Le Mont St Michel and enjoyed a lovely walk along the coastal path at Cap d'Erquy, with stunning views and quiet beaches. Stuart and Julia couldn't have been more attentive and helped and advised us both before and during the holiday. Their local managers were extremely helpful and although there was a problem with the internet they did all they could to fix it as soon as possible. Thanks also for the advice about the hidden jewel of the castle at Hunaudaye and the great restaurant nearby at l'Hermine Blanche. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

Fun in Brittany
I really enjoyed a week in this lovely house with my friends. It has been renovated to a high standard with all mod cons. There is plenty of room for all with 4 bathrooms and plenty of hot water for all. The weather was fantastic so we really enjoyed the huge gardens and played many games of badminton and croquet. We also went boating on Jugon Les Lacs which is just 5 minutes away by car and went to many of the stunning beaches about 30 minutes away. I really had a great holiday in rural Brittany. Thank you so much.

Excellent - this property is a hidden jewel and I
Stuart and Julia guided and supported us through the booking process and answered all questions promptly. The directions to the property were accurate and although the house is located in a small hamlet away from main roads and towns, we found it easily after a fairly long drive from Calais. The photographs on the website do not do this property justice. It is quite simply amazing and everything we hoped for. The house is huge with lovely rooms and furnishings and the kitchen had all mod cons. The garden, well gardens actually, provide privacy but a lovely setting. Brittany is such a lovely area and Dinan and St Malo are a must and are both less than 45 minutes away at most. Jurgon Les Lacs is also a must and that is much closer - as are supermarkets and petrol etc. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning here on holiday again. Thank you to Stuart and Julia who were excellent.

Wonderful Rural Retreat, with all mod cons
We had a wonderful holiday in this property, which was exactly what we expected. This is really rural France, which is what we wanted, and we loved the extensive gardens, which are really well kept. There are so many different areas for the kids to explore. The house is huge and the pictures really do not do it justice. It has so much character that you really do feel that you are in a different era, but with all the mod cons that you need, including good internet, UK and French satellite TV, dishwasher etc and a very well stocked kitchen. The whole experience was totally realaxing. Thank you Julia and Stuart for allowing us to use your home. We will certainly recommend it to all our friends.

Traumatic..worst experience I have ever had on a holiday
With my wife and two friends who had never been to France, we planned to stay at Les Vignes for 21 days. From the description of the property and it's location it seemed ideal for us. To say our stay has been very disappointing is a gross understatement...it was tantamount to disastrous. The overall cleanliness of the property left a lot to be desired (the BBQ needs condemned, the place was covered in cobwebs, the doors didn't close properly etc. etc.) and whilst described as 5 minutes from the village of Jugon Les Lacs it was more like a 10/15 minute drive! Ther was no telephone signal and no wifi connection......facilities which were crucial to our stay and clearly advertised. This fact was immediately made known to the owner at the outset but it took almost a week to convince him of this. At the end of our first week there was a thunderstorm while we were away from the property and on our return the TV lounge and the study were flooded and rendered out of use. This necessitated a move out of the property for the two weeks remaining of our holiday to another farmhouse on the outskirts of Jugon Les Lacs which the manager sourced for us. This property was pre-booked by other clients for the final three days of our holiday and we had to move again! The upheaval cost us another two days of our stay Whilst the owner funded the cost of our remaining accommodation there has been no apology except by his manager who was extremely sympathetic to our situation, but there has been no offer of any compensation. The very least we could have expected is a refund for the days we spent in Les Vignes and the two days lost in transferring to other properties...a total of 9 days and a personal apology from the owner. We are all in our 70's and found the whole experience both traumatic and potentially health threatening.

Had a lovely week in a peaceful idyllic setting. Fantastic value for money.
We enjoyed a family break in this lovely stone cottage. There was loads of space for all 9 of us. We were able to visit many beautiful places including St Malo, St Cast le Guido beaches, the impossibly pretty town of Dinan as well as charming Jugon les Lac. We enjoyed the house which was great for enjoying a family BBQ in a pretty setting. We all had fun playing badminton too. Great value for money, would highly recommend.

Stunning Property & Great Location
The property is wonderful and is in a superb location. Only my partner and I went away and as the property is so big, we actually only used three rooms and really didn't realise how big it was as the pictures don't show the true size of the house. For a family, it would be fantastic as you have so much room, the outdoor space is great and we made use of the badminton/tennis rackets and nets on the sunny days. Around 20 minute drive to the nearest large supermarket but the french roads mean that this is easy and no traffic or stress! We loved our stay, the price was amazing and we booked at such short notice so have to thank Stuart and Julia for accommodating us. The communication with the owners is great and they are happy to answer any questions. I would not hesitate to book this property again, especially with a larger group of friends and family!
