We enjoyed last years holiday at Le Clos du Rouvre so much we booked up again within weeks and came back this year!
It is situated in a lovely rural location yet is only 30 - 40 minutes from St Malo and the ferry port.
Le Clos du Rouvre is lovely and we have now stayed in both L'Ecurie and as the family got a little bigger, this year we were in La Loge. We have three children who are 3, 5 and 7 and they loved the freedom of child friendly environment, with much time spent in the garden playing table tennis or on the swings, hanging out in the 'toy shed', or taking on large construction projects in the big sand pit. In addition to all of this is of course is the lovely pool where we spent many happy days in the sun. All of these will provide an opportunity for Mum and Dad to find some well earned time for themselves.
Successful family holidays need plenty of variety and the area around Le Clos du Rouvre offers this in spades, with historic towns such as Dinan, Combourg and St Malo offering a lot to see and do and all demand some time, well spent, just exploring at a leisurely pace.
Beyond the towns you will find the many lovely beaches of the north Brittany coast and all make an easy and excellent day out, by the way driving is a breeze as the roads are so quiet even during August! If you like a town beach Dinnard is hard to beat.
This is one of the biggest secrets of Le Clos du Rouvre it is so quiet and peaceful but has many attractions and places to visit within a short drive. In addition to those above there is Cobac Park which is a must for a family with varied fun rides and entertainment for all ages, and La Bourbonsais is a beautiful Chateau with lovely grounds and an animal park (both are great days out).
Catering is also easy as there are a number of excellent supermarkets in and around the area for stocking up on neccessities with good quality produce ideal for the barbecue (used most nights), beer and wine.
Sometimes going back somewhere for a holiday can be a dissappointment but not here, we had another lovely holiday and still came home with a list of things we did not get round to doing, all of which will just have to wait for next time!.
