Short break in St Helen

The property exceeded our expectations and was spotlessly clean. Joanne and Richard were very friendly and helpful. I would definately return.

Very nice gite/cottage in Brittany

The overall impression is very good. The beautiful house in situated in a very nice and quiet surroundings and there is a large forest really close by (walking distance 5 minutes). The house is very well equiped, there is a washing machine in the little shed, and there is a fine round swimming pool on the grass behind the house. We also had a lovely little space in front of the house, underneath a grape vine, where we could sit and eat. We had a great time (though the beds and couch were a little soft compared to what we are used to), and would certainly recommend it to anyone who is planning a stay in Brittany. The very friendly owners, Jim and Joanne, really know the surroundings and gave us several useful suggestions for a days visit (thank you again!). Erik, Sonja and Yana

Excellent Gite in lovely surroundings

This was our first visit to the Gite at Les Fougeres in July 2015 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Joanne & Jim are very friendly and welcoming and have done an amazing job on the property. The Gite provided us with a home from home with a well equipped kitchen, tastefully decorated living space with wifi and TV included. The enclosed garden allowed us to relax with our dog on his first holiday in France. Les Fougeres is situated in a quiet country setting but with in easy reach of Dinan, St Malo, Dinard & Rennes. We enjoyed our first holiday here so much that we have already booked for next year.

10 years worth of holidays and we still love it!

As the title suggests, we have been visiting Les Fougeres for over 10 years. To begin with, as a newly married couple, and now as a family of 4. We have also introduced other family members to the delights on offer. The location never ceases to enthral us and we are still finding new things to do and visit. The accommodation is immaculate with lovely decor, keeping in a traditional French theme with a modern twist. All the amenities are included, fully equipped kitchen, use of a barbecue, washing facilities and additional freezer space. Beautiful landscaping in a beautiful setting. The location means that you can do as little or as much as you want. There is a guidebook supplied with lots of thorough information regarding sights, towns, markets, opening times, museums to visit, etc. The owners are very welcoming and friendly hosts who are on hand to offer help and information if required. Looking forward to next year!
