The Garden

 

To see is to be amazed. Not only will you feel free from all the daily grind of home but a sense of belonging will transfer you back to nature. Whilst following the lawn through the mature trees, which give plenty of shade on those hot summer days, the perfume from the wide variety of plants and flowers permeate your senses, with natural aromatherapy. 

 

 

 For the kiddies, there is a sandpit, swings, and plenty of space to burn off all that energy, all within the safety of a wall that encloses the entire garden. 

The garden is fully equipped with sun loungers and furniture.  A barbeque is available for use. 

There are secluded areas to sit and read, laze or just dream in either sunshine or shade.

 

The villa even has its own boules pitch.

Comments from past guests

"Rural bliss, a relaxing & perfect break. We’ll be back!" Dennis & Jennie from Jersey

"Thank you for a great time. Villa is fantastic, has everything you need and much more. The children especially enjoyed the garden, the swings and the chickens. Dinan port is very nice in the evenings for eating out and for the best beaches head towards Ploubalay. The market at Combourg was nice and good for wine tasting too!  Wished we could stay longer!" Corinne & Mark from Nottingham

"Thank you so much for everything. Like everyone else you made us so welcome. Your villa is lovely and your garden is fantastic. With your hospitality and kindness we couldn’t ask for a better place for a holiday. Looking forward to our next visit already." Paul & Carol from N. Ireland

Wonderful villa in a great location. We very much enjoyed the garden and especially having breakfast and dinner outside most days. Daniel appreciated the swings, slide and sand pit and most importantly the hammock!! We enjoyed the local markets, the beach, walking the ramparts at St Malo, eating lots of ice-cream and drinking lots of great French wine! Calvin, Jacqueline & Daniel from California
