The Experience
This handsome manoir in big peaceful gardens has been lovingly restored by Claude, who speaks six languages, and equally well-travelled Agnès; both are charming and friendly – to you and your dog. Theirs is a fascinating house built in 1714 with French windows opening to a south-facing terrace and a salon lined with oak panelling; relax by the blazing fire.
Bedrooms, comfortable, traditional and upstairs, are dominated by dark ships’ timbers; the port of St Malo is close, so are golden sand beaches – perfect for woofy walks. Breakfast is served beneath the chandelier – delicious, generous and imaginative in front of the fire in winter.
Wander through the mini-park surrounding you, visit the permanent art exhibition and find lots of quiet places to sit peacefully with a book, or hop on a bike and head to St Malo – about 25 minutes of (mostly flat) pedalling.

We received a very warm welcome from Claude and Agnes, with tea and biscuits on fine china, which was very pleasant after a hard day's driving. We enjoyed a first class meal with a good wine, in excellent company with our host. Our room was large, with charming décor and a very comfortable bed, ensuring a good night's sleep. The en suite was excellent. We enjoyed a superb breakfast with a full English if we had wanted it. The building itself is full of character and history. We would highly recommend a short or long stay here. They also offer a self catering gite. We will return.

We stayed two nights in this very special place. Wonderful bedroom, with quality bedding, deep pile carpet, and a comfortable bed. Bathroom was a dream. Champagne by a roaring fire before dinner. Candlelight table with wonderful food, and superb wines . Breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice, boiled eggs, fruit salad, fresh pastries and bread. Claude was a wonderful host. We look forward to our next stay. Bill and Ann Sisson.

We stayed here for 2 nights in July with our 3x children, on our way through to a holiday in Brittany. We have stayed in many B&Bs over the years, but never have we had such a genuinely warm reception. Agnes and Claude could not have been more accommodating and welcoming to our whole family - offering to collect us from the nearby town when we got lost, chatting with us over tea in the drawing room and friendly to our kids. They were so generous with their time that it felt more like staying with old friends, rather than in a guest house. Excellent value for money.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're deep in the countryside here but just 10-minutes by car from St Malo for shopping, a good choice of restaurants and the sea. It's walled and charming and there's a beautiful 18th-century cathedral to explore. Mont St Michel is nearby - a UNESCO heritage site - and well worth the climb to the top of the Abbey for long views. Dinard and Dinan are a must to visit - an easy day out.
Local points of interest from Agnès & Claude François
- Saint Malo - only 10 minutes away - enjoy fabulous food & shopping & a breathtaking view of the sea! A beautiful 18th century cathedral can be reached via winding streets twisting this way & that - wandering around this enchanting walled city is a must!
- Dinard - only 15 minutes away - was THE fashionable hideout favoured by English gentry in the 1900's. After you've enjoyed imagining what living in some of the exquisite homes would be like, step into any one of many restaurants for a fabulous meal.
- Dinan is only a bit further afield. Founded almost a THOUSAND years ago it features an amazing mix of ancient, old & up to date. Walk the cobblestone streets, admire century old buildings. For images of this medieval city look at the video on our site.
- In every direction, there are many activities you can choose from - exceptional bike trails, walking paths, golf courses, ancient monuments, great shopping, unforgettable food. We've lived here for years & will enjoy helping you plan a memorable visit.
- Mont St Michel "Wonder of the Western World" is very close by. See why UNESCO classes this tiny island as a World Heritage Site, climb up to the glorious Abbey & look out over the shifting sands & rolling sea. Watch out for St Michel in the stairway...
- Most of our home was built in 1710 by Guillaume des Trauchandieres but part of it is even older. Built in the 16th century for Jacques Cartier's sister, it's now our gite! Find out more by watching this video: https://youtu.be/cFBqQnbMYrY

We had an very special stay with Agnes and Claude who looked after us so well. The house is gorgeous and bursting with character. They recommended and booked a fantastic restaurant for us and the whole experience, for our whole family was truly a highlight of our holiday.
