About this property

Newly refurbished Classic French farmhouse

The house is a classic French farmhouse with a large wood-burning fireplace, tile and wood floors and exposed beams giving it a traditional and warm atmosphere. Upstairs on the top floor, the huge loft has been newly converted to the master bedroom with a wooden floor and beams and shuttered windows which open onto a panoramic view over the fields and agricultural land surrounding. The room is newly furniture with a new en-suite bathroom. There are 2 comfortable double bedrooms on the first floor, 1 of which is recently renovated. The house is centrally heated throughout with newly fitted windows, doors and shutters. We'll leave enough wood for the fireplace for the first night or 2 at the house and more logs can be purchased at the local supermarkets thereafter.
Le Hambout is in the small village of St Andre des Eaux 5 minutes from the town of Evran set on a river with a lock. There's a picturesque lake 5 minutes away which is perfect for a stroll. The area is peaceful and the property is set off of a grass track. Le Hambout is 10 minute drive from the historic walled city of Dinan with many restaurants, pavement cafes and a marina where you can enjoy a glass of wine while watching the boats.
Forty minutes from the property is the beautiful port town of St Malo with it's tremendous wartime history and scene of many prestigious sailboat races. Also the same distance away is the awesome Mont Saint Michel which everyone should visit in their lifetime.Between the 2 are a host of sandy beaches and seaside towns such as Cancale where you can spend a day walking in the harbour and enjoying fresh seafood in the many seafront diners.

Séjour ensoleillé et merveilleux.
Nous avons été agréablement surpris par la maison et l'accueil chaleureux. Paul et Tanya Butler, les propriétaires, sont des personnes prévenantes et généreuses car tout a été pensé pour rendre le séjour agréable : les ustensiles, la vaisselle, les couchages, les serviettes, la superbe cheminée qui fonctionne à merveille et le grand terrain, ainsi que le barbecue surtout s'il fait beau. Les voisins nous ont gentiment donné du bois le premier soir pour la cheminée (les magasins étaient fermés). La région est magnifique et riche en visites variées. Merci beaucoup Tanya et Paul pour ce séjour; nous espérons revenir. Dominique et Augustin.

Snel weer terug!
Ik wil het liefst een negatieve recentie schrijven zodat niemand hier naar toe gaat en wij het voor onszelf kunnen houden..... Want het is een heerlijk huis, heerlijke omgeving als je van rust houdt maar toch dicht bij leuke steden en dorpen wil zitten. Huis is wel gehorig en de WiFi is niet heel sterk als je er met meer tegelijk op zit. Voor ons was dat allemaal geen probleem. Fijne communicatie met Paul en Tanya. Wij gaan zodra de mogelijkheid zich voor doet absoluut weer terug.

Bien mais...
C'est une maison agréable, spacieuse et assez bien équipée. La douche tout en haut, attenante à la chambre principale, est vraiment chouette. La literie est dans l'ensemble très correcte. Les propriétaires (par mail et téléphone) sont sympathiques et disponibles. Deux bémols cependant : -La propreté serait à améliorer. -Et surtout : il y a 5 coqs dans la maison mitoyenne ! Autant dire qu'entre 5H et 7H du matin, il est très difficile de dormir car ils "chantent" sans cesse...

Schön und großes Haus. Aber viel zu hellhörig. Wenn in der 2.ten Etage normal gesprochen wird , ist es kein Problem unten jedes Wort zu verstehen und umgekehrt.

Wonderful Farmhouse near Dinan
The farmhouse is just as you would hope for a country property. It is well stocked and comfortably furnished. The location is perfect for exploring the sights of Bretagne - Dinan, which should not be missed, Dinard, St Malo and Mont St Michael are all within an easy drive. The owners are very communicative, the directions perfect and the keys were easy to find on arrival. There are clear instructions for the use of all the appliances. We all truly enjoyed our house in the country and would highly recommend it.

Rustic
We enjoyed this place although house and facilities very basic. No sound proofing at all in the house due to huge gaps in floorboards so when using the bathroom a conversation with people in the kitchen below was like we were all in the same room! Plagued by flies in September possibly due to horses next door. We chose to see all as charming rustic although not all the group felt the same. Log burner was amazing though and area delightful

casa con encanto pero con falta de higiene
La casa fantástica, nos ha gustado mucho, el propietario ha intentado ayudarnos en todo lo posible, tenemos que decir que la limpieza no es correcta, y le falta insonorización entre las habitaciones por ser el interior de madera , los cristales estaban muy sucios y había muchas telarañas en diferentes estancias, el rincón de lavadora estaba muy abandonado con muebles muy viejos, la parte de arriba, la habitación del ático le falta la puerta de acceso y un armario para guardar la ropa, por lo demás todo ok

A great place to stay
The photos of the farmhouse do not do this place justice. We stayed for 7 days in early July. Our communication with the owners leading up to our holiday were dealt with promptly and efficiently. On arrival we were totally delighted with what we found. The farmhouse is located in a quiet village but so close to many tourist attractions including the coast and a great beach. The rooms are spacious and with a large garden this place is ideal for families or some couples looking for a great getaway. In summary we wholeheartedly recommend this farmhouse to anyone looking for a great holiday stay.

Maison et propriétaires sympathiques
La maison est très agréable, chambres et pièce à vivre confortables et cosy. Ménage et entretien très corrects. Région magnifique avec de nombreuses visites et ballades à faire aux alentours. Les propriétaires sont charmants et disponibles en cas de problème. Nous avons rencontré un soucis indépendants de leurs volonté, ils nous ont parfaitement bien accompagné pour la résolution de ce dernier. Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre séjour.

Maison agréable
Nous avons apprécié : - la superbe chambre au 2ème étage, grande, lumineuse, grand lit très confortable, très bel espace. - le séjour avec son poële dans la cheminée qui a ravi nos soirées d'hiver. - la maison dans son ensemble, très bon espace à vivre, avec deux enfants. L'endroit est au calme à la campagne. Rebecca qui s'occupe de la maison est très réactive et accueillante. Les propriétaires aussi, toujours à l'écoute. Seul bémol pour ceux que cela gênerait, il faut savoir que la maison est mitoyenne à une ferme avec des coqs assez "bavards" (on les entend 2 à 3 fois dans la nuit où ils chantent pendant une dizaine de minutes). Egalement, la maison est très mal insonorisée dans la mesure où l'on entend tout ce qui se dit, que l'on soit au deuxième, premier ou rez-de-chaussée.
