The Experience

A late 17th-century farmhouse and its outbuildings have been transformed into two warm and relaxed gîtes by the talented Sue and Steve. They’re set in a small hamlet in flat farming country and although it feels remote you’re only 15 minutes from Saint-Malo.

If it’s raining, stoke the wood-burner and find comfy sofas, books, films and board games as well as a big screen TV; when the sun shines you have your own corner in the leafy garden for a barbecue and two bicycles to explore the surrounding countryside.

Find a welcome basket with sparkling wine, eggs, local cheese and bread; there’s also bakery a two-minute walk away. The nearest towns, Châteauneuf and Miniac Morvan, are less than ten minutes by car and have shops, restaurants and markets; cycle the back roads to the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel in an hour.

Reviews

I love the Garden gite and can imagine a cosy romantic break for two here at any time of the year. Sue's considerate attention to detail will make you feel so at home and relaxed.

Carola, Munich

We passed two fabulous weeks in the Gentilhommière. The House was absolutely stunning! Restored with greatest attention to every detail, comfortable and well equipped. The wonderful garden provided us with apples and plums - Sue and Steve really have created a little paradise. Thank you for the wonderful time and your great hospitality!


David, London

We gave just had an exceptionally enjoyable week in the smaller of the La Binellerie Gites. The Gite was part of a ramarkablly well restored farm, executed over may years by a lovely couple Sue and Stephen Davison. The standard of the restoration is really exceptionall; Stephen was a cabinet maker and Sue has a flair for enhancing the beauty of the restoration. The grounds, including the poplar enhanced entrance, is elegant and tranquil, provideing a restful respite from everyday life. It is well situated to enjoy the many delightd of Brittany. We cannot praise it sufficiently.


Anna, Stroud

We had a lovely holiday in the beautifully restored farmhouse. Sue and Steve have obviously taken great care to create somewhere very special. There was also the added bonus of having all the practical conveniences on hand that we might need and Sue and Steve were always available for help. The boys loved playing in the garden and on the swing and we really enjoyed getting to know this part of Brittany. Thank you!


David, Cambridge

A superb gite, comfortable, well equipped and centrally located for where we wanted to visit. Close to St Malo, Dinan and some lovely villages on the Rance. In easy driving distance of great beaches and Mont St Michel. Good restaurants nearby. Our longest trip was to Omaha beach in Normandy which did not seem too far to drive. Great hosts. Wi fi was dodgy when we were there but was repaired before we left.


Location

The neighbourhood

Saint-Malo has all you need for water fun: surf, sail, sand kart or hire a sea canoe, and from here you can take numerous boat trips – a regular ferry service to the seaside town of Dinard takes ten minutes. There are numerous châteaux and gardens to visit within a half-hour drive, along with the medieval town of Dinan, which has half-timbered houses lining narrow cobbled streets, and the fishing village of Cancale, a must for seafood lovers.

Local points of interest from Sue & Steve Davison

  • La Binellerie, a renovated 17th century Gentilhommière and barns is situated in a peaceful, rural setting, in 1.6h of gardens and woodland. A perfect location for a relaxing holiday with family or friends.
  • Our nearest boulangerie is actually just around the corner! A small bakery which makes artisanal bread twice a week. The boulangerie in Chateauneuf is a 15 min walk, but we do have a couple of bikes for the uses of guests.
  • The nearest supermarket is at Miniac Morvan (10 min drive), which also has an excellent fishmongers, a delicatessen selling local products, and the usual bank, and Post Office. There is a market here every Friday morning.
  • We are just a few kms from the river Rance where there are numerous restaurants & bars at St Suliac, Pleudihen, Lyvet, Mordreuc, St Jouan. From the lock at Lyvet you can take a pleasant walk along the river to the medieval town of Dinan.
  • If you enjoy seafood then Cancale is the place to go, famous for its’ oyster beds. Here you can sit on the sea wall in the sun and eat a plate of freshly opened oysters with a glass of cold Muscadet! There is also a huge choice of restaurants.
  • La Binellerie is close to all of the main attractions in this beautiful area of Brittany, including Le Mont St Michel (the most visited place in France, after Paris), St Malo, Dinard, Dol de Bretagney, and Rennes, the capital.

Introducing

Sue & Steve Davison

Sue and Steve live in a little cottage next to their gites. They’ve lived here since 1996 and have spent much time renovating the properties – it’s a definite labour of love. Sue is originally from Leeds and studied music at the Northern College of Music, later becoming a private piano teacher. Steve works as a cabinetmaker – the cabinets, stairs, doors and windows in the gites are all his work – and has specialised in bespoke kitchens in the UK. In their spare time they have a boat and enjoy taking it out on the Rance river.
