A wonderful holiday!
Fabulous place to stay, great part of the world to explore.
Journey out a doddle, less than an hour’s flight from East Midlands to Dinard, pick up hire car at Dinard airport and a short drive to the property.
Pleurtuit is a small French town, surrounded by open countryside with the local amenities that you need for your stay. A 10-15 minute walk from the apartment into Pleurtuit in the morning to pick up fresh bread from the boulangerie is a joy!
The apartment itself is a delight!
It is the owner’s second home which shows in the tasteful décor, high quality furnishings, and how well equipped it is. The apartment is spotless, extremely comfortable and relaxing, a great place to curl up with a book or watch a good film - books and DVD’s left by the owner to choose from. For the Sport enthusiast, the apartment has Sky TV and there are bikes available, perfect to explore the surrounding open countryside or for the more energetic to cycle to the nearby seaside town of Dinard. Golf clubs are available for your use and fishing tackle to fish the lake located almost at the bottom of the garden! The shared swimming pool is well maintained and also spotlessly clean with never more than a few people at a time using it at any time.
It is a great base to explore from, easier with a car and the roads are quiet and easy to drive on. The nearby seaside town of Dinard is lovely and the market on a Saturday morning is not to be missed especially by food lovers and budding chefs! There is a superb selection of fresh produce and ingredients on offer, perfect for mooching and cooking up a treat later! The port of St Malo should be on the list with its fortress, beautiful beaches and array of shops, restaurants and café’s. Inland there is the quaint, picturesque town of Dinan set on the canal, full of fabulous medieval buildings!
There is a great selection of restaurants and café’s everywhere you go which offer good quality, fresh food at reasonable prices, it is France after all! Needless to say the markets and supermarkets also offer a wide and varied selection of food and produce should you wish to stay in and cook.
The Owners could not have been more helpful and make you feel welcome to enjoy their beautiful home and have a glorious holiday! There is plenty to do and see but the apartment and its location offers a peaceful, tranquil place to return to at the end of the day … perfect balance!
We will be returning!
