Sleeping 2-6, this breathtaking and atmospheric cottage has rustic and medieval character with traditional large Breton fireplace and wooden beams and exposed stone interior walls. The cottage is approximately 200 years old.
Situated 5 minutes walk from the stunning Rance Estuary where there is a small beach and picnic area. Sandy coastal beaches 15 minutes drive as well as Dinard (upmarket resort) and Dinan (medieval buildings and shopping) and Mont St Michel 30 minutes. Old walled town of St Malo is essential to visit - huge choice of restaurants.
This area has a year round wide range of local services and activities including sailing, golf, horse riding, cycling and eating excellent seafood at Cancale!
Cottage: Large living room with 3 large comfy sofas - very relaxing in front of huge traditional fireplace and natural stone walls. Large dining table with comfortable chairs. Free Wifi, satellite TV, DVD player, many books, DVDs and children's games. Fully fitted kitchen, again roomy with dining table and new units. Upstairs 2 luxury double bedrooms, one twin, family bathroom with bath and shower.
The cottage is in the old part of the charming village of Langrolay Sur Rance which is situated on the banks of the Rance estuary. The village is traditional and friendly and we are situated in the quiet church square. A village playground and garden is in the next street with swings and tennis courts. There is a bar just up the road. A Roman villa has been discovered recently which has caused much interest - see info here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6ZwI-_O7C8
There is a courtyard in front of the cottage and a small walled courtyard garden behind for privacy, sitting out, BBQs etc.
We have owned Les Hirondelles for fifteen years as our second home and always find new experiences every time we visit. This area of France has an endless choice of activities for all ages and allows you to immerse yourself in all things France with only a short journey from the U.K. With some people finding further south can be unbearably hot for a family to enjoy themselves, more and more people are returning to Brittany for a varied and stimulating break.
Travel is so easy - only 20 minutes from St Malo port (served from Portsmouth/Plymouth) under 2 hours from Caen, Cherbourg or Roscoff and slightly longer from Le Havre.
Miniscule Dinard airport is served from Stansted and sometimes from other UK airports (browse Ryanair) and is a remarkable 10 minutes drive to the cottage. Car Hire is available at the airport. We can advise on best options on all these.
We are members of Brittany Ferries Travel Club so can advise you of our membership number for discounts.
