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!
