Cosy country cottage for two in peaceful French countryside.

The pretty stone and cob cottage offers comfortable accommodation for two. A Jøtul stove will keep you warm and cosy, all the logs you need are supplied for no charge from our 11 acre woodland, to which you will have exclusive access. A veranda, with table and chairs, looks out onto a private garden. Guests can wander freely around our 3-acre garden with its wildlife pond, small flock of Breton sheep and bee hives. Please note that the cottage is not suitable for children or pets, and smoking is not permitted inside the gite.
There is a shop and bar in the next village to us, just five minutes drive away. The shop, run by Mme Catherine Omari, sells a good range of produce, including wine and beer, fresh fruit and vegetables and some organic ('bio' in French) products. It is a "dépôt de pain" which means that a bakery delivers fresh bread each day. You can buy croissants but is is best to order; we are happy to ring and arrange this for you.

We stayed in this small 1 bedroom gite with the notion of switching off. The location was ideal, quite remote but close enough to the facilities in Dinan and surrounding towns. Stuart was the perfect host, giving us space and time to relax. A great place to stay

Great Holiday
Absolutely loved this place, Gite has everything you need and is in great quiet location with plenty of countryside walks. The garden is wonderful and it was lovely to get a visit everyday from the wandering ducks. Gabrielle & Stuart were great hosts - couldn't have wished for a better holiday.

Excellent base for quiet countryside holiday
Gabrielle & Stuart were perfect hosts, always ready to help when needed but otherwise unobtrusive. The cottage made an excellent base for pleasant cycling in the quiet lanes, on tow paths & the nearby "voie verte". Not far to great coastal destinations. Highly recommended.

Perfect base
We greatly enjoyed our week in Stuart and Gabrielle's charming cottage. Just lovely to sit on its verandah in the evening, and look out on its beautiful garden. And a wonderful base for exploring Brittany. They couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful.

Excellent. Friendly host, beautiful surroundings. Perfect relaxation.
A very relaxing and peaceful setting. Stuart and Gabrielle are perfect hosts - friendly and helpful without being in any way intrusive. The cottage is comfortable with all the amenities you might need for a week or two. Lots of wildlife in the vicinity - deer, owls etc. Also, loved the markets at Dinan and at Dinard. Highly recommended.

Everything we hoped for and more. Fabulous accommodation in a lovely rural setting.
Property was lovely. Spotlessly clean, powerful hot shower, comfortable bed (we slept Inrepeatedly !!) fully equipped galley kitchen and strong wify. Private garden with sun morning and evenings and access to a fantastic eco-pond with entertainment laid on by frogs and runner ducks!! Stuart and Gabrielle made us feel extremely welcome and very much at home. Recommend the fresh hen and duck eggs !!! Great base for striking out into northern Brittany. Many thanks for a great week: I can’t recommend this rural escape too highly!! John

Perfect honeymoon destination
The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. Even though other properties were close by, it felt secluded. Our favourite place was sitting on the porch looking at the beautiful garden. Stuart and Gabrielle couldn't have been more helpful. Would certainly go back and recommend to anyone.

Fantastic!
We absolutely loved this gite! Not only is the place itself a perfect little gem, but the owners are friendly and helpful. The gite is well thought out - from the cosy, efficient woodstove to the comfortable bed. It has all the things you might need and the chance to buy superb produce from the smallholding is a bonus. The location is good too. It's easy to make day trips to Dinan and Rennes as well as having some good local walks. We didn't want to leave!

Beautiful France
Our hosts were very welcoming, and really helped us enjoy our stay, our gite had a delightful little garden which we used every day,. The gite itself had a lovely bedroom and modern bathroom, the living space in honesty needs updating, that said we felt it was good value, loved the area, so pretty and peaceful.

Away from it all, a tranquil place in delightful countryside, brilliant for cycling.
I went to explore another region of France and found this a perfect base from which to cycle the miles of peaceful country lanes the place has to offer. Dinan is a beautiful ancient French town which a very short car journey away.
