The house is situated on the 'Rue du Jerzual' which is a hill linking the port area to the old town centre, guests with mobility problems may not find this suitable.

Courtyard area with flagstones and table and chairs. Separate attractive garden with small lawn and flower beds and shrubs.
Coast/Beach
The beautiful North Brittany coast can be reached by car in 30 minutes from the house. There are a number of beautiful sandy beaches here as well as attractive coves and family oriented coastal towns. Our favourites include the beaches at Pen Guen and Saint Jacut, the towns of Dinard, Saint Malo and Saint Briac and the ruined castle and sandy coves of Chateau Guildo - a hidden gem!
Golf
There is a good number of excellent courses a short drive away from the gite, 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 Andre, 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.
Travel
The nearest airport is at Dinard, about 20 minutes by car, which has regular and cheap flights to the UK. The ferry port of Saint Malo is 30 minutes by car. Other ferry ports are at Roscoff (2 hours) and Cherbourg (2 hours).
Distances
The house is set in the old cobbled medieval street of Rue Du Petit Fort. This street links the port area of Dinan to the historic town centre area of Dinan. The street is on a hill with the town at the top, you can walk up to the town in about 7 minutes.
Further details
The port area and town of Dinan has been remarkably well preserved and contains many beautiful old buildings, as well as a medieval castle and impressive stone ramparts with high town gates. The town is proud of its heritage and promotes many activities throughout the year, and with a very good selection of restaurants attracting both locals and visitors alike. Unlike some locations , Dinan remains open throughout the year, Spring and Autumn are particularly good times to visit - good weather but less busy than the peak summer months.
The town invests signifcantly in promoting arts and cultural activities right through the year for all tastes.One of the highlights of the Dinan calendar is the Fete des Remparts - one of Europe's biggest medieval festivals - which takes place every two years in the third week in July ( the next one takes place July 2012). Other events include a weekend of live music in June , jousting on boats on the port, fireworks on July the 14th and a series of free open air jazz concerts in August.

Guest comments
Hi Jeremy, I just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing week we had in Dinan. La Maison Medievale is a fantastic house and we thoroughly enjoyed walking around Dinan and enjoying the architecture. Everywhere we looked we were stunned by the beautiful buildings and scenery.' SM May 2008
'Jeremy, just to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely house. Haven't had such a relaxing holiday in a while. We really loved the house and were impressed how well equipped it was. This is not always the case with holiday homes.We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Thanks for a lovely stay ' C. and family May 2008
'We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Dinan and the house was everything we thought it would be and more. The men enjoyed the golf and found the courses really good especially the one at Val Andre. Five of our party had not been to Brittany before and they thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - they thought the houses, food and Dinan were fantastic'
