Owner profile
About the owner
Married with three children who were 2,3 and 5 when we bought the cottage. We live in the midlands and all like to spend time in France.
Year purchased: 1999
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We fell in love with the cottage at first sight - and signed the Compromis de Vente (to buy it) on the same day ! We have loved it there ever since and especially love being in lovely countryside and yet only 15 minutes from Dinan (a number of vilages are closer) and less than 30 minutes from the coast.....
Our neighbours are delightful and the area offers something at any time of year. Although Dinan and this part of Brittany does attract its share of visitors, there is loads to do at any time of year, and the local towns / villages are communities which are not dependant on tourists and so the local markets etc. function all year.
When the children were younger the ease of access from St Malo and Caen made it a very easy trip over ( not too many 'are we nearly there yet's).
Unique benefits of the property
The peace and quiet is wonderful; it is ABSOLUTELY dark at night - fab for looking at the stars and for sleeping; there are good local markets, supermarkets and restaurants close by.
The cottage is genuinely old with exposed beams etc. and really charming - we feel better just for being there.
