Reviews
 07 Oct 2012 |
The perfect gite for a small family with a lovely log fire for those cold evenings. Judi & Graham are extremely welcoming and helpful, any problems encountered with the gite were dealt with immediately. Our son especially enjoyed picking the fruit from their trees and spotting all the local tractors. We found plenty to see and do in the area, including La Bourbansais (chateau & zoo) which is great for kids of all ages. There is an aquarium in St Malo. Cancale is a nice place to go for a meal. Of course the main attraction is Mont St Michel and even with a two year old in tow, it was a great day out. |

Our holiday in Ardilloux was a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home and relaxed. The surrounding countryside and picturesque hamlet of Ardilloux are wonderful. We were met by the owners, Judi and Graham, who couldn't have been more helpful. A welcome basket of local produce was fantastic. La Lune is a very comfortable accommodation, supplied with all essentials for a happy and relaxing stay in rural France. It was very clean and well maintained and provided ample space for four people. We explored many places of interest and were supplied with helpful information from Judi and Graham, which made our visits even more special. We also thoroughly enjoyed the produce from local markets and restaurants. We very much look forward to another visit and are confident that a holiday, in whatever season, will be equally as comfortable and exciting. |

We enjoyed a lovely week at la lune. It is in a very pretty area with lots of lovely places to visit. I would say St.Malo and Mont st Michel are a must. The owners were first class hosts nothing too much trouble they were great. We would definitely go back again. |
