A much loved and delightful retreat in the beautiful Brittany countryside. This delightful cottage is full of personal touches and has been enjoyed by couples and families aswell as family and friends. It is within 10 minutes of the medieval town, Dinan and 20 minutes from stunning coast. Relax in the garden late into long, warm summer evenings or get cosy in front of the wood burner after romantic walks. A lovely place to return to.

We stayed in this delightful cottage in September, definitely ‘a peaceful rural retreat’. It is full of original features and well equipped with everything that you might need for your stay. Comfy beds, a good kitchen/lounge area, complete with secluded garden for outside dining. We found plenty of places to eat out in nearby Lanvallay but would recommend not travelling into Rennes by car! Visiting the beautiful St Malo is a must.

A really lovely, peaceful place to spend a few days.
A lovely well appointed cottage. The bedrooms were even nicer than the photos portrayed. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics plus a super welcome basket. We spent a long time reading in the garden which, again, was very pleasant. And, on top of everything, there is a friendly, resident cat.

Beautiful Brittany Gite
We had a wonderful 3 night stay in this lovely gite. It was very clean and well-equipped, with everything one might need. The garden is just beautiful and we enjoyed reading and playing table tennis every afternoon/eve. Such a lovely area with so much to see and do. We will definitely be returning to this area and, hopefully, this gite again. The hosts were very helpful as well and responded quickly. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!!
Le gîte est certes petit mais tellement cosy et bien aménagé.
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine de vacances avec nos enfants.
Le calme du village nous a fait un bien fou.
Le panier offert par la propriétaire était excellent.
Bref, à recommander.
Séjour très reposant dans la jolie petite maison de Miranda, pour ces derniers jours de l'année 2023. Endroit très calme, à proximité de Dinan, Dinard... Maison adaptée pour 4 personnes.
