Beautifully Restored Detached Stone House Reviews

This property was located in a peaceful, rural location. There were plenty of seating areas both inside and outside. The house was very well-equipped and very comfortable. There was a constant supply of hot water. The owner sent us plenty of detailed information, prior to our arrival and checked in with us during the stay and on departure. The extensive library, board games and videos were appreciated. Les Vignes was a great place for our family holiday.

We really enjoyed our visit, we stayed over new year, it is in a lovely location with very good walks nearby and further afield. We love cooking and were delighted to find that the house is very well equipped with all kitchen and dining facilities. We lit the fires, although the house is very warm with efficient heating. Highly reccommended.

The house was a lovely place to stay and. we enjoyed our stay. Just one thing would have helped us that being the name of the property as we got a little lost finding it. That said I would stay there again and recommend it highly. Thanks

Nice peaceful location. House large enough to comfortably take 8 guests. Could do with a spring clean but otherwise all good. Easy distance to Jugon Les Lacs.

What a fabulous place to stay in Brittany. The accommodation was clean and tidy with all you could need and plenty of room. The house was a little cold as we visited in early May, but shortly after lighting the log burner it was lovely and toastie. Once the sun came out there was plenty of seats and different seating areas around the garden to make the most of. The location was perfect, 40 minutes to the North coast and the wonderful scenery around Cap Frehel, 25 minutes to the beautiful medieval town of Dinan, and an hour from the stunning Mont St Michel. A 10 minute drive to the town of Jugon-Les-Lacs provided the bakery for breakfast and two very good evening meals in Le Donatello. The perfect place to stay to relax, as so quiet, and yet close enough to explore the delights Brittany has to offer.

We had a lovely week at Les Vignes. The house is everything you would imagine from a big, old, characterful, French house. The amount of space was brilliant for us with two teenage boys, but in the evenings we all gathered together in the lounge to enjoy a blazing log fire and have some great family time watching films together. The house was very well equipped and we were able to cook and prepare meals just as we would at home. The washing machine etc all worked perfectly which was important for us as we travelled light and did do a couple of washes. Our boys enjoyed the luxury of having a large bedroom and en suite each, as did we. There was a further massive room on the third floor that we didn’t use. The garden was lovely with good bbq facilities, fresh herbs for cooking and badminton and boules for the kids. Jugon-les-Lacs was definitely the best, nearest village to go to each day for bread (5 mins drive) and had 3 to 4 places to eat and a supermarket open for long hours each day and also Sunday mornings. We also made use of the swimming pool at Jugon-les-Lacs which is part of a campsite but open to the public for a relatively small fee. Mégrit which is the other nearest village is worth visiting, but now only has a small tea shop rather than a bakers, so best to go for afternoon tea or a delicious homemade ice cream later in the day. Dinan and Dinard are an easy drive away and the beaches at St Briac Sur Mer and St Lunair are a must if the weather is good. Overall we had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing week in a big, old and characterful French house which we would highly recommend.

With my wife and two friends who had never been to France, we planned to stay at Les Vignes for 21 days. From the description of the property and it's location it seemed ideal for us. To say our stay has been very disappointing is a gross understatement...it was tantamount to disastrous. The overall cleanliness of the property left a lot to be desired (the BBQ needs condemned, the place was covered in cobwebs, the doors didn't close properly etc. etc.) and whilst described as 5 minutes from the village of Jugon Les Lacs it was more like a 10/15 minute drive! Ther was no telephone signal and no wifi connection......facilities which were crucial to our stay and clearly advertised. This fact was immediately made known to the owner at the outset but it took almost a week to convince him of this. At the end of our first week there was a thunderstorm while we were away from the property and on our return the TV lounge and the study were flooded and rendered out of use. This necessitated a move out of the property for the two weeks remaining of our holiday to another farmhouse on the outskirts of Jugon Les Lacs which the manager sourced for us. This property was pre-booked by other clients for the final three days of our holiday and we had to move again! The upheaval cost us another two days of our stay Whilst the owner funded the cost of our remaining accommodation there has been no apology except by his manager who was extremely sympathetic to our situation, but there has been no offer of any compensation. The very least we could have expected is a refund for the days we spent in Les Vignes and the two days lost in transferring to other properties...a total of 9 days and a personal apology from the owner. We are all in our 70's and found the whole experience both traumatic and potentially health threatening.

We enjoyed a family break in this lovely stone cottage. There was loads of space for all 9 of us. We were able to visit many beautiful places including St Malo, St Cast le Guido beaches, the impossibly pretty town of Dinan as well as charming Jugon les Lac. We enjoyed the house which was great for enjoying a family BBQ in a pretty setting. We all had fun playing badminton too. Great value for money, would highly recommend.

Lovely warm house. Short drive to Dinan and coast. All mod cons and comforts. Thanks so much

We have recently stayed in this lovely character cottage with another family. The facilities were really good with a well equipped kitchen, utility room (if you needed it) and really good sized rooms, most with en suite. The cottage was a good size and we all fitted very comfortably and had plenty of room. The cottage makes a great retreat after a day out. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful, historic town of Dinan which is only about twenty minutes away. We hired bikes from the local village of Jugon-les-Lacs and rode around the quiet roads surrounding the cottage. Doing, this you really get a good leisurely look at the wonderful peaceful countryside surrounding the cottage. In two hours we were only passed by two cars and a tractor! The cottage is also only about 50 minutes for St Malo - again well worth a day's visit. Stuart and Julia were very helpful throughout. McDonald and Olden families
