Rented all together, they can accommodate 22 guests in total from May to the end of August. During September and October total capacity is 18 guests.
The properties provide luxury accommodation for families, groups of friends or individuals looking for something a little bit special.
The 3 properties are situated in a grassy, landscaped courtyard. The owners, Laure and David live on site.
Le Manoir, can be booked in 2 main configurations, depending on the season and the number of guests.
• in July/August: configured for 12 persons
• in May/June: either for 12 or 8 persons

The Manoir is located in the peaceful heart of the village Saint Helen, close to Dinan in northern Brittany (10 minutes away by car).
