Relaxing family holiday
A perfect holiday home for our three generation family holiday. Good road connections but also a very peaceful rural location. Close to the lakes, safe beaches and beautiful historical towns. Also a lovely garden to relax in on down time in the day. A highlight was a tart made with plums freshly picked from the orchard. Last but not least a friendly and welcoming host :)

Fabulous stay in a beautiful location
We had a wonderful time at Lyn’s beautiful Gite. The house was very well stocked and had everything we needed and was in a very peaceful location but within an easy drive of stunning beaches, the lovely towns of St Malo and Dinan and under an hour to Mont St Michele. The garden was beautiful and the pool was great after a hot day! Lyn was a very kind and unobtrusive host who gave us lots of great suggestions of places to try. Would love to return again one day!

Super holiday cottage and location
Le Chardon is ideally situated to enjoy a great holiday in the beautiful Brittany countryside. It's 40 minutes from the ferry port at St Malo and other great beaches along the coastline, close to great places to visit like Dinan (20 minutes) and Mont St Michel (60 minutes). Dolo is 5/10 minutes walk away and boasts a nice bar/restaurant serving burgers/pizza/salads etc (but no boulangerie unfortunately). However, Jurgon Les Lacs (a lovely small town) is only a 5 minute drive away and has numerous nice restaurants/bars, a boulangerie, small mini market for groceries etc, weekly market. There's a larger supermarket just over 10 min drive away. The lake is great to walk around and offers watersports, fishing etc. and whilst we were there there were lots of festivals taking place which we enjoyed. Lynda is a lovely lady and a great host. She stays in a small cottage adjoining but is totally discreet. We barely saw her although she was always there if we needed her and provided lots of info for us to get the most out of our stay. The cottage was immaculately clean, well equipped and very, very comfortable. The garden is lovely with areas to sit and eat, an orchard, and a large lawn with very comfy sun-loungers. It was very hot whilst we were there and the children spent much time enjoying the pool which Lynda keeps very clean. It isn't heated but was perfect for us. The children making lots of noise whilst having fun wasn't a problem either. We had a lovely holiday and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Le Chardon to anyone.

Lovely stay at Le Chardon
Splendid garden and yard with swimming pool. Lots of sun and also shadow if needed. Lynda even had a swing and sandpit for our little one. The house is a classic Bretagne style and matched well to the description. Nice kitchen and good sleeping facilities. Good location to travel around Bretagne.

Beautiful house lovely grounds and surroundings, the local town and area is worth visiting.
Thank you Linda for the use of your lovely home the end of August. Both families really enjoyed staying at the house and in the area. The pool and grounds are very family friendly. Jugon-les-Lacs is a quaint but beautiful village with plenty to do with a huge lake and lots of activities, there is a smaller lake and children’s play area in Dolo a few minutes from the house. There are a few very very good restaurants in the town but bigger towns are not far away Dinan is about 20mins from Jugon-les-Lacs and definitely worth a visit. We will be returning highly recommend this beautiful town and property.

Peaceful retreat in the countryside
We stayed at Le Chardon for 9 nights at the end of July for our first holiday to Brittany. Lynda only lets her house out during the Summer months, hence why other reviews of the property aren't that recent or frequent. We therefore felt lucky to be able to stay in this lovely cottage. During your stay, Lynda stays in an attached property - not that you would know - this does add some reassurance that should you encounter any difficulties during your stay, there is someone on hand to help. Lynda is most helpful but unobtrusive and works with you to ensure that she is able to maintain the pool and garden during your stay but keen to ensure that she stays out of sight and sound. The booking process and communication prior to our visit was very good. Upon leaving, we felt like we were leaving an old family friend! The property is in a very peaceful area as described and the garden is lovely to relax in however you do need a car to travel around to make the most of your stay. Dinard airport is only around a 20 minute car journey away and the coast, as well as towns of interest, 20-30 minutes away. The local village is a 5-10 minute walk away and has a creperie/restaurant that we visited one night and a similar car journey away Jugon les Lacs where there are two or three restaurants and a small supermarket for essentials (larger supermarkets are available in Dinan) During our holiday we enjoyed visiting Dinan, St Malo, Rennes, St Cast le Guildo, Bayeaux & the Normandy beaches (a 2 hour drive away), Mont St Michel and Paimpol to name but a few. The roads around the cottage are lovely and quiet, even during the school Summer holidays along with many of the local towns and villages (with the exception of the busier coastal towns). We were pretty lucky with the weather during our stay so we managed to make use of the pool, whilst we spent a good amount of time travelling around it was nice to be able to pop in it for a dip on our return. The garden is spacious enough for kids to run around and play safely. Plenty of loungers around the pool and a patio/BBQ area. The house itself is tidy and has everything you will need for your stay and more, including unexpected essentials that we have previously had to buy in other self catering properties such as dishwasher tables, wash powder, loo rolls, washing up liquid, hand wash etc. The Breton biscuits and tart were a lovely touch on arrival too! We would definitely recommend Le Chardon!

Charming holiday home in lovely surroundings- great for families
We had a lovely stay in this quiet countryside property, surrounded by farms, with spacious, beautiful and well maintained gardens. The house is clean, tidy and well equipped for 6+2, with two bedrooms on the first floor and a large family loft room with ensuite on the second floor, ideal for families with children who are old enough to climb the wooden staircase independently. The weather was not quite warm enough to use the swimming pool; however, we took lots of trips into the surrounding area and to the nearby beaches, towns and castles. There is so much to see around here! The property is also within easy walking distance of Dolo village with a wake park, lake and playground.The children (aged 1 and 6) had a great time playing on the swings, in the sandpit and Wendy house in the garden and flying their kites in the nearby field. Would highly recommend for families visiting Brittany for a relaxing holiday and to enjoy the French culture and lifestyle. Many thanks, Lynda!

A great place for a family holiday
We stayed at Le Chardon for a week in August and had a great time. Our 3 children especially enjoyed the lovely spacious garden and the pool, which was brilliant for the sunny weather we enjoyed. Lynda was an excellent, friendly host - the house was spotless on arrival, and the wine, cheese and tarte au fraise were a lovely touch. Lynda also popped by during the week, at our convenience, to clean the pool. Dolo is a quiet place - even more so during our stay as the boulangerie and restaurant were shut, although the creperie was open - but pleasant enough, and Jugon les Lacs five minutes down the road has more to offer and is an attractive little town. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, and Le Chardon is a lovely place to stay for a relaxing time, but if you want to hit the road and explore there is lots to see in the area - Dinan is a must! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Le Chardon.

Lovely cottage in a great location
We had a great week. The cottage is pretty, and cool in hot weather which is great. (It also has a huge wood burner for cooler months which we admired but didn't need). Plenty of space and well equipped. The showers are great. The sitting area is especially comfortable and the garden is a sheltered sun trap - with shady areas when you need them. But we spent most of our time out and about. The local area is beautiful! Full of old buildings and architecture and farms. You don't feel close to the road but we were within easy reach of St Malo and Dinard, Dinan and even Mont St Michel. Ile de Brehat is also well worth a visit - very pretty pink granite and coastline and not busy off the main paths. Our highlight though was the Wakepark almost next door. The guys running it are friendly and speak great English. Their guidance took our kids from never-tried-it to waterskiing and it was just a fun experience (twice). Dolo and Jugon-les-lacs are very French and friendly. Croissants in Dolo are so much better than most English ones but you have to be there by 9 - the boulangerie in Jugon is open longer and probably bakes again if you miss the first batch. All in all, a great holiday! Thank you Lynda.

Beautiful country house in beautiful settings
My family and I had a wonderful stay, it was like home from home. We had use of wifi and free sat English tv. Like I said great. The kids didn't want to get out of the pool... Nothing is to far away so if it is a quick shop or visit to the coast everything is easygoing..

Perfect holiday
Just returned from a wonderful, relaxing stay at Le Chardon. The house and garden were very pretty, and in the perfect location for what we wanted to see. The outside is covered in flowers, and the house is well equipped. We arrived in the evening to french bread, cheeses and wines that Lynda had left for us, which went down very well! Lynda was the perfect host, very welcoming and on hand for a chat and useful advice about the local area and places to visit further afield. We fished on the lake at Jugon les Lacs (caught 5 breem) and enjoyed Dolo's Fête de la Musique, held once a year on 21 June, a very French experience! We visited Dinard, where we caught a boat to St Malo which was beautiful, Dinan, a picturesque medieval town and Le Mont St Michel which was just amazing. We also visited the beach at Sables d'Or les Pins, stunning! We would highly recommend this property, thank you so much Lynda x

Haus in ruhiger ländlicher Lage
Wir haben das Haus als Ausgangsbasis für Tagesausflüge mit dem Auto in verschiedenste Regionen der Bretagne genutzt. - Cap Frehel - im Westen bis zum Pointe de Corsen (längere Fahrzeit) - im Südwesten bis Carnac (längere Fahrzeit) - im Norden Granitküste bei Perros-Guirec - Erquy - Saint-Malo - Le Mont-Saint-Michel - Dinan - Omaha-Beach / Normandie (längere Fahrzeit) Da wir sehr viel unterwegs waren und das Wetter in unserer Urlaubswoche nicht warm war, haben wir den Pool nur zweimal benutzt. Der Pool wird täglich von der Vermieterin gereinigt. Der Garten ist sehr weiträumig mit etlichen Sitzgelegenheiten und Liegestühlen. Das WLAN im Haus funktioniert gut, die Kinder waren zufrieden. Die Fotos vom Haus und vom Garten sind zutreffend. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es liegen viele Reisetipps bereit. Wir fanden sehr positiv, dass es zwei Badezimmer gibt, eines im ersten und eines im zweiten Stock. Sehr positiv fanden wir auch, dass wir alle Schlafgelegenheiten im Haus nutzen durften.

Wir haben einen wunderschönen Urlaub mitten in der Bretagne erlebt. Das Ferienhaus ist genauso wie Linda in der Anzeige beschreibt. Haus und Garten sind schön gepflegt. Der Pool wird von Linda jeden Tag gereinigt und war für unsere Kinder ein großes Vergnügen. Von hier aus lässt sich die Bretagne wunderbar erkunden und Linda hilft gerne bei Fragen, sei es wo die schönsten Stränden sind, wann und wo die Markttage in der Umgebung sind oder wenn eine KfZ-Werkstatt gebraucht wird.
