Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Fantastic holidays
We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. It has a lovely garden and it is very peaceful. The house is spacious and well equipped. There is a lot to explore nearby in Saint Malo, Dinan, Dinard, Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer. We warmly recommend it.

lovely comfortable cottage
Our first impression of this cottage was, Wow. Such a lovely place in a beautifully peaceful setting at the end of a quiet lane. The furnishings were very comfortable and the cottage spotless. Wish we could have stayed longer as it's a good place to unwind. Thank you Gillian, we would love to come back one day. We would highly recommend your beautiful cottage.

Delightful cottage in beautiful setting
Have just spent a week in this charming cottage which was a home from home. A very good base to explore the surrounding countryside, We found an excellent restaurant in nearby Courseul and managed to visit our old haunts in Dinan, just a short drive away. Thank you Gillian for all your help, we hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful cottage
We spent two great weeks in this beautiful cottage in a very peaceful location. The coast is only a 20 minute drive with beautiful beaches and coastal walks and there are also great walks along the banks of the Rance river. Gillian and Christian are great hosts and have some great tips for places to visit. We hope to return soon

Tout est parfait... que ce soit le cadre, calme et reposant, ou le gîte correspondant parfaitement au descriptif. Nous avons été très agréablement surpris par les équipements, tant en cuisine que les jeux et divertissements pour les enfants (jeux de plage, jeux de société, livres, dvd, etc..., un bonheur pour les enfants et du coup également pour les parents! Encore merci à Gillian et Christian, sans oublier Poppy 🤗

A Gem!
Gillian and Christian were gracious and helpful hosts and their cottage was a true gem! Every room was very carefully and lovingly restored and decorated. The living and dining areas were roomy and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for making simple meals, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had plenty of room for our toiletries and a great shower. It is very private with both a back and front door and pleasant sitting areas on both sides. It was a pleasure to spend 4 days there! The location was perfect - between two small towns with grocery stores, restaurants, gas station, and a Saturday market a few minutes drive away. It's about 15 minutes drive from Dinan and 25 minutes to the coast - a perfect central spot for touring.

Wonderful peaceful week
Location couldn’t have suited us better, down a quiet lane... parking in private courtyard out front where we enjoyed breakfast in the morning. Lovely garden out back to relax and read with only bird song for accompaniment... Gite itself spacious and comfortable with everything you could need, including bikes in the shed if you fancied a tootle around the local countryside. Loads of great places to visit all within an hours drive .... hosts great too, never intrusive but on hand if required .... thank you. Would love to return again if in area.

Cosy cottage
Lovely quiet cottage, very peaceful and good location for exploring the Brittany coast and countryside with our dog. Comfortably furnished with everything we needed for our holiday. We loved the sunny courtyard and garden and the hosts were very accomadating, offering to help with queries and even booking our dogs vet appointment. Would recommend to others for sure.
