A traditional stone farmhouse (newly renovated 2008) surrounded by beautiful Breton countryside in a hamlet 1m from Yvignac and 15 mins away from the unique city of Dinan. There are restaurants and shopping in nearby town of Broons while Dinan, probably the best preserved medieval city in France, has wonderful restaurants, pavement cafes and a fabulous traditional market. The delights and daily markets of Rennes are only 40 mins away. It is well positioned for easy access to the stunning Bretagne coast with miles of surprisingly empty beaches, coastal walks and seafood at prices we can only dream of in Britain. The fully furnished house (non smoking) has its own south facing courtyard with patio and pool from June to Sept only and can comfortably sleep six/eight people. With modern bathrooms and electric central heating, with bed linen provided (not towels). Travelling is easy as it is only 35 minutes from Dinard airport (Ryanair) and 40 minutes from St Malo (Brittany Ferries).

Guest comments
Thank you for a lovely holiday, we all loved your home and enjoyed looking at the photos of the house pre and during renovation- we were nearly captured by your enthusiasm and looked around a property further up the road! But its not for us now! Hopefully in the future! 7/6/11
Dear Shirley and Bobby,
Just a quick email to say thank you very much for allowing us to rent your lovely Gite. It was such a lovely area and so quiet and peaceful. We would certainly recommend your Gite to our friends and may even return ourselves to Brittany in a few years' time and will consider renting your Gite again.

friends. Until the next time!

Owner profile
About the owner
Bobby and Shirley Ormond arrived in France May 07 for the weekend. Purpose? To buy a property to renovate and live in France for 8 mths. We found La Bossiere that's it. From idea to reality was only 2 weeks we decided to regret doing it rather than living with the regret of not doing it, as in this life you only have one go. Arrived Aug 07 and started our 8 month adventure. Kids 6 and 11 went to local schools and we started work on the house, moved in Jan 08 with the main rooms complete. We had a wonderful experience and our time in France will remain as one of the best times of our lives.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Secluded, tranquil and in the country with short commute to beaches and towns.
