About the home

Recently converted former fisherman's cottage situated in the historic port area of medieval Dinan. This attractive stone house is an ideal base to explore the preserved medieval town of Dinan or to simply unwind by walking along the river into the Breton countryside. Ideally situated by the river Rance , a short walk over the arched stone bridge leads to the restaurants , bistros and cafes of the attractive port area.

Renovated and decorated with taste, the cottage has retained it's character with beams, fireplaces and log burning stove.On the ground floor, there is a well equipped kitchen, dining and living area. Sleeping up to four comfortably, there are two individual bedrooms each with it's own bathroom on the first and second floors. Ideal for two couples or a small family group, this quaint cottage offers comfortable accommodation in a sought after holiday location.

The Brittany / Cotes-D'Armor region

Brittany is an area of breathtaking natural beauty. The long coastline is a seemingly endless succession of rocky headlands, wild cliffs, island studded bays and beautiful sandy beaches. Inland is equally attractive. Fairytale castles, historic towns and ancient megaliths are sprinkled through the gentle hilly countryside. A wide variety of interests are well catered for , including golf, fishing, all sorts of watersports, hiking and cycling. The region is easily accessible from the UK with ferry ports at St Malo , Roscoff or Cherbourg and with Ryanair providing very low cost flights to Dinard.

The Dinan area

Dinan is perhaps the place where Medieval Brittany seems most alive and most real. Behind the ramparts the old centre of town vibrates with life. The sagging, cantilevered timber fronted dwellings leaning crazily on each other, still house merchants, though their trades may have changed. Rue Du Jerzual and Rue Du Petit Fort lead through one of the ancient town gates down to the Port, winding between two perfect rows of restored and protected artisans' houses.
On the Port you can sit and watch the world go by from one of the riverside cafes and restaurants, take a boat trip to the old citadel port of St. Malo or hire a self drive boat and explore the delightful river Rance. The more energetic may prefer to walk or cycle up or down the towpath. Ten minutes upstream is the picturesque village of Lehon with its own castle, twelfth century abbey and open air heated swimming pool complex.
There is a good number of excellent golf courses a short drive away from the house, including Dinard (founded in 1887), St Malo, Pen Guen (St Cast) and Sables D'Or at Cap Frehel. Perhaps the best course is located at Pléneuf Val André, which should be on every golfers 'must play' list. As the language can sometimes be a barrier , we can liaise with the course on your behalf and book tee times for you so your golf is all arranged before you arrive.

“Lovely house, great location in beautiful Dinan” The house is a great place to stay for visiting Brittany or enjoying Dinan. The house in itself is full of character where old features still remain. There is a small access to the river through the back door, we actually used it to collect my parents with a hire boat and road around the river. Dinan can be access by foot up hill in about 15 mins although it is pretty tough pushing a pram, on the other hand it is 5 mins by car and we had no problems parking near the city center. If you don't feel like walking there is plenty restaurants in front of the property to choose from. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to come back.

' Many thanks. The cottage and Dinan were delightful. We would definitely visit again ' JH June 2008

'We loved the house - tastefully modernised and perfect location, and Dinan was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed trotting across the bridge every morning to the Boulanger on the corner - we felt like locals for a week and
had a great holiday.' (PF September 2007)
