Charming peaceful and beautiful place
We fell in love with this property and location. It was peaceful and exactly what we wanted to experience - the house had everything we need and we felt like at home for the 6 days we were there. The host is super nice and communicated very well with us and what we needed. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to visit a beautiful area of France and enjoy the country side. I am still smelling the flowers and how scenic the entire area is.

Wie Zuhause!
Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Man kann sich direkt wohl fühlen! Neben schönen alten Möbeln sind die Badezimmer wiederum sehr modern - perfekt! An eine wunderschöne, gemütliche Terrasse schließt sich ein kleiner eingezäunter Garten an, was perfekt für unsere Hunde war. Vom Haus aus kann man gut schöne größere und kleinere Runden mit den Hunden gehen. Die Vermieterin war sehr, sehr nett und freundlich. An- und Abreise haben völlig unkompliziert geklappt.

Heerlijk verblijf in La Chanais
Een authentiek en sfeervol huis, voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. We hadden prachtig weer waardoor we tenvolle van de mooie tuin konden genieten. Gastvrouw Fiona is super vriendelijk en je kan letterlijk voor alles bij haar terecht. Ze stelde zelfs voor om op onze hond te passen als we uitstappen wouden doen. Een aanrader!!!

This is Paradise!
We’ve rented homes through VRBO over the years and have always been pleased. This home in Plouer-sur-Rance was outstanding! We felt as if we were in the owner’s own home. The home was decorated so beautifully and the artwork was so special. The appliances were all top of the line. We felt we were in our own home. The owner, Fiona, was so lovely and responsive. After she found out our likes she made amazing suggestions.

The Genuine Article
If you're looking for a charming maison in the French countryside, la Channais is it. It is a centuries-old structure with all the attendant charm, yet the living space has been meticulously modernized and is very comfortable. The owners are accommodating and undemanding. They obviously want their guests to feel at home. The property is very quiet and surrounded by "horse country." There are many beautiful walking trails, most leading down to the River Rance. La Channais is a very rural experience, yet shopping, local markets and everything required is nearby. (Do NOT miss the bakery in Plouer-sur-Rance.) The small town of Dinan, known as one of the loveliest old towns in all of France, is minutes away. Whether relaxing in the beautiful English garden of la Channais or exploring the Channel coast from a very convenient location, this is a wonderful place to be. Be careful not to bump your head on the range hood.

Comfortable Accommodation would
A city but spacious property in a small hamlet convenient for visiting Mont St Michel, Dinard, St Malo etc. Fiona was extremely helpful and always available if needed. Beds were comfortable there was ample seating in the living room & the kitchen well equipped. There is off street parking & a very pretty garden. We would certainly recommend this property.

A beautiful rural escape
The cottage did not disappoint. We were welcomed by Fiona, who made sure that we had everything we needed and was so considerate in making sure we knew what was available in the local area and didn't miss the best bits. The house was immaculate, and furnished to a very high standard. The lovely garden was a great bonus in the warm weather, and the proximity to the river meant that there were great walks nearby. An excellent way to return to France for a much needed holiday.

Erholung und Naturerlebnisse garantiert
Das geschmackvoll eingerichtete Haus mit allen modernen Annehmlichkeiten und dem schön gestalteten Garten ist nicht nur ein Wohlfühlort für Ruhe und Erholung Suchende, sondern auch ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt für vielfältige Wanderungen und Radtouren in die nähere Umgebung. Bei unseren morgendlichen Spaziergängen mit Hund zur Rance haben wir immer neue Wege und Pfade durch die malerische Landschaft mit Feldern und Wäldern rund um La Channais entdeckt. Wir haben die drei Wochen Sommerurlaub und die warmherzige Gastfreundschaft von Fiona und Bruno sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Perfect in every way
We had a wonderful week at this gite. We hated to leave and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. Fiona was a great host. She was responsive during the booking phase and helpful during our stay. The house was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped and the appliances were high end, the standalone shower was roomy with great water pressure and the beds were comfortable. The patio and lawn were lovely for relaxing and dining. The location is perfect for getting to the major sites in the area. The house is located in a small hamlet so it’s peaceful but it’s less than 5 minutes from a main road so it’s easy to get everywhere. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Une maison de la confort et efficace!
Il y a quelques jours que nous avons visité la Bretagne et les environs de Dinan. La location de la maison VRBO était parfaite pour nos séjours. Madame De Wulf était sympathique et la maison était très douillette et confortable. Si vous desirez visiter au nord de La Bretagne je vous conseille de choisir cette VRBO. Ce fut un plaisir d'y avoir séjourné!

Wonderful place to stay
The property was immaculately clean and the best equipped we’ve ever stayed in, Fiona was welcoming and very friendly and the house was warm and cosy. The walks from the property were lovely, and the drive to so many areas of France from it was easy and very interesting. The weather was good for the whole week and we enjoyed the log fire on colder evenings. Our little dog loved it and got to meet truffle Fiona’s very friendly pup. We all loved our week long stay and will definitely return to this wonderful charming property again …. totally 5⭐️

Wonderful house in beautiful surroundings
The house is beautifully located at the calm end of a rural road. We were absolutely blown away by interior design and the high quality appliances within the house. We enjoyed every minute, especially in the evenings with the cosy fireplace in the middle of the living room. Fiona and her husband are wonderful hosts and very welcoming! We hope to come back soon! In conclusion, I can only recommend to stay there.
