About this property

The Gite is one of 3 properties in this location (see also The Farmhouse and The Grange).
This stone built former cowshed is situated in a very tranquil part of rural Brittany, yet within convenient access to medieval Dinan (10 minutes) and a leisurely 30 minutes country drive from many excellent beaches on the north Brittany coast (Cote d'Armor). It stands in well maintained grounds of 1.2 hectares / 4 acres and looks down across rich farmland and wooded countryside.
You can safely walk, ride bicycles around the small local roads and marked trails directly from the property, with plenty of scenic variety, from corn and wheat crops to pasture and wooded/forest areas.

There is table tennis table and a spacious lawned areas to the front and side of the property for games of football, badminton etc. A BBQ area is provided in the courtyard for outdoor eating and to enjoy the afternoon or evening sunset.

Beaches & things to do: There is a great variety of things to do in the area without having to spend hours in the car. Within 45 minutes drive there are countless beaches to choose from such as le Val-Andre, Erquy, Sables d’Or, St Cast-le-Guildo, St Jacut-sur-Mer, St Briac, St Lunaire and Dinard to name a few. Coastal walks and spectacular coastal scenery is a feature of this region. Coastal walks including Cap Frehel, from St Pabu (park on Plage de Caroual) to Erquy or west to le Val-Andre are also recommended. Le Mont St. Michel is also a worthwhile day trip being one hour away. The route back via the 'shellfish coast' from Cherrueix to Concale and the superb beaches and coastal walks from Concale to St.Malo make for a memorable journey.

Mediaeval Dinan (10 minutes) is a wonderful place to visit, market day is Thursday. The cathedral city of Rennes and the direct TGV link to Paris is also within an hour’s drive. Within 2 hours drive the tapestries of Bayeux (near Caen) and the war cemeteries of Normandy (Omaha beach) and World War II museums are also worth considering.

Closer to home there is horse-riding in Plelan-le-Petit, golf in St Michel de Plelan, swimming, sailing, cycling and pedaloes at Jugon-les-Lacs (10 mins), go karting at Lamballe, a lovely aquarium at St Malo (also walk the ramparts).

Really quiet and rural setting.Small and traditional.

It was a traditional french cottage and was a little basic and lighting was a bit poor at night. But as the weather was good we were outside a lot with the dog and the garden is great. Everything worked in the house but internet reception is quite poor unless you go to the garage.Had not realised we would be opposite other guests in a bigger place but that was no problem and made it interesting. Bed was comfortable and water hot in the shower. Couple of lovely pretty villages nearby one for shopping and one with a brilliant lake for walking around. There is a sports centre and swimming pool there attached to a campsite which offers a number of things to do and see. All round we had a great week.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018

The Gite, Pehe

We have stayed at the Gite twice now and definitely recommend it as the perfect location for a holiday hideaway for two. It's set amongst beautiful countryside affording cycling or long walks on lanes that see one or two cars a day at most. The Gite is well appointed, comforatable and warm. On sunny days the gardens allow for lazy relaxing days with a bottle of local wine and a good book, perfect for unwinding. Lots to visit in the local area with the coast only 40 minutes away and the medieval town of Dinan 20 minutes. An array of shops and cafes are to be found but for us the value and quality of the local produce tempted us to self cater most of the time and eat al fresco.

Beautiful house in the beautiful place

We had spent 6 days in Gite, and this was definitely one of the best vacations in our life. We'd been there at the end of November - beginning of December, there was lots of snow, and this was exactly what we wanted to see at this time of the year, we couldn't wish for a better weather. The house had everything we needed - it was clean, warm, had all amenities, and that was all we needed. It's perfect for two people, although could probably accomodate up to four. We had arrived late at night and had no problem finding the place, although GPS really helped us. The owners provided us with the GPS coordinates, and this helped us a lot. The location of Gite is great - in the middle of rural France, there are two beatiful small towns very close - Dinan and Dinard, and the majestic Le Mont Saint Michel is within a pretty short drive. For people who are looking for a romantic place to stay or want to explore the French culture this place is great. This is definitely not a place for the big city lovers or for those who is looking for some luxury accomodation.

Leben wie Gott in Frankreich

Wir haben gerade zwei Wochen in der Bretagne verbracht und es einfach nur genossen. Das Ensemble steht irgendwo im Nirgendwo. Aber wenn man es einmal gefunden hat, findet man auch, was man gesucht hat: Ruhe, Entspannung und Erholung. Wir hatten in der ersten Woche traumhaftes Wetter und Frühstücken in der Morgensonne vor unserem Häuschen hat einfach dazugehört. The Gite ist klein und schnuckelig, für zwei Personen super. Unten Küche, Sofa und ein Ofen (Feuerholz direkt neben dem Haus), oben finden sich ein Bad und das Schlafzimmer. Wenn man etwas kräftiger ist, könnte der Einstieg in die Dusche etwas beschwerlich werden (etwas sehr eng..). aber sonst passt es. Es ist alles etwas einfacher, aber es findet sich alles, was man braucht. Wir haben jedenfalls das ganze kulinarische Programm der französischen Atlantikküste in der kleinen, überschaubaren Küchenzeile "abgearbeitet". (Ein Tipp für Selberkocher: In St. Lunaire findet sich eine kleine Poissonerie mit einer ganz reizenden älteren Fischverkäuferin, die einem nicht nur mit Rat zur Seite steht, sondern auch ganz hervorragenden frischen Fisch anbietet. Die Muscheln sind der Knüller!) Péhé liegt nicht weit entfernt von Dinan, einem der wenigen erhaltenen mittelalterlichen Städtchen. Sehr reizvoll, entspannt, gutes Eis (Ecke Rue Jerzual) - lädt einfach zum Verweilen ein. Der Markt jeden Donnerstag ist sehenswert. Die Betreuung vor Ort, Pamela, spricht englisch und französisch und kümmert sich bei Problemen und Fragen wirklich sehr nett um alles. Nicht zuletzt funktioniert die Kommunikation mit den Besitzern schnell und problemlos, sehr nett. Wir jedenfalls waren nicht zum letzten Mal in der Bretagne.
