About this property

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.

St Madennin June
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.

About the host

Hosted by Gabrielle Anderson

Host profile image
We met in Brighton and moved to Brittany, buying our house in 2006. We’ve made great efforts to learn French and integrate into our local community, making good friends along the way.
Ex-townies, we’ve had lots to learn as we establish our permaculture smallholding growing herbs, vegetables, fruit and nuts, variously accompanied by chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep, pigs during the summer and, more recently, bees. In the winter months, we work in our 11 acres of woodland.
We enjoy running the holiday cottage and have recently finished converting the barn into another comfortable gite for two which is separate from the cottage and will have its own private garden.
We're always happy to stop work and chat; that said, we'll leave you to enjoy the privacy of your own gite and garden.
