This is a pretty little 19th Century house located within the walls of the medieval town of Dinan in Brittany.
Its position in 'Le Jardin Anglais' (The English Garden) and beside the magnificent St Saveur Basilica is quite unique. Only a few minutes walk from the centre of the town with its restaurants, crepêries, shops and bars, it is nevertheless a peaceful and idyllic area. The house has been renovated to a high standard and is beautifully furnished and well equipped. The main living area is on the first floor so that the views of the church and the garden can be enjoyed. It includes: a modern kitchen, a lounge area with multi language TV, DVD and hifi stereo, a dining area and a mezzanine office area with wifi. There are two double bedrooms, one large on the ground floor with en-suite bath, and one smaller on the top floor with en-suite shower. Although very compact, the space within the house is well designed and is ideal for one or two couples.


Dinan Town: Dinan is an architectural gem, ringed by 2,700 metres of ramparts. Its historic streets contain 15th and 16th Century half-timbered houses as well as Renaissance residences, Romanesque and Gothic churches and ancient chapels and convents.

The view from the Jardin Anglais is quite breathtaking, looking down on the ancient port and the magnificent viaduct which spans the River Rance.

A strenuous but rewarding walk is from the town to the port via the steep Rue du Petit Fort, one of the oldest streets in Dinan.

The town has over 35 eateries ranging from no frills bars to traditional creperies to cordon bleu restaurants.

Each Thursday there is a large market for fresh vegetables, cheese, bread and all sorts of other gastronomic delights.

Northern Brittany: Dinan lies 20 kilometers due south of the spectacular northern Brittany coastline. There are many beautiful beaches and resorts to explore including the historic fortified port of St Malo which is 35 minutes drive and the lovely seaside town of Dinard only 30 minutes away.

The capital city of Brittany is Rennes which is 50 minutes drive to the south, and well worth a day visit.

Inland Brittany is steeped in history and there are many fascinating places to visit including the fortress town of Fougeres and the towns and villages that skirt the River Rance.

    We had a lovely time over Christmas at Jacci and Rob’s beautiful town house. Dinan is a real gem of a town, with lots of history and nice local shops. It was busy with visitors which added to the festive feeling. The house was perfect for us and very central being next to St Sauvuer church, the gardens and ramparts. We managed trips to Dinard and Rennes which were also very nice and interesting. You can park outside the house to drop off/pick up and then park your car in the secure underground car park a few minutes walk away. Everything has been thought of in terms of furnishings and kitchen equipment and we managed to cook a full Christmas dinner with duck rather than our usual goose.Our stay was made perfect by the beautiful cold and sunny weather we had throughout, perfect for walking and exploring. We will not hesitate to come back when visiting this area again.

    We really enjoyed our stay in Dinan. The location of the house is wonderful, especially with a dog (who is good at walking stairs)! There is a green area right on the doorstep and you can walk along the river in just a few minutes. The house manager is very helpful and has great tips for your stay! Many thanks again!

    This quant property is perfectly located to enjoy the full ambience of medieval Dinan. The owners and manager are very pleasant to deal with and we really appreciated the English touches, particularly with the entertainment system. Everything worked well and overall it was a most comfortable experience.

    Had a great few days. Shops, restaurant/ bars all in walking distance and Jardin Anglais across the road is lovely to sit out in the sunshine or under ths shades of the trees. The property has all you need for a short break and longer.

    This was our fourth stay in Dinan and our second at Rob & Jacci’s place in Dinan, a city we like a lot, both for itself and as a base from which to explore NE Brittany and W Normandy. The use was immaculate as before, and unchanged so far as we could see. We hopeto come again!

    At the end of May, we spent nine nights in Jacci and Rob's old, small, charming house. You immediately notice that the hosts themselves are frequent guests in the house: everything is available in sufficient quantities, nothing is rationed as is often the case in holiday apartments. The living room on the first floor with the kitchenette is optimally utilised and furnished to make you feel at home – even rainy days can be spent there very comfortably. We slept very well in the actually very small bedroom under the roof, after we had got used to the limited space. If you want more space, you can sleep in the bedroom on the ground floor. It has significantly more space and a luxurious bathtub instead of a shower. For us (aged 69 and 78), the two relatively narrow and steep staircases were no problem, but this may be different for people with health problems. The location right next to the English Garden with its famous view of the Rance and the port of Dinan and right next to the Basilica of Saint-Saveur is priceless. You walk out of the house and you are in the historic old town.Despite this hot spot location, it was quiet. The parking subscription card provided by Jacci and Rob is also invaluable. The car park is on the other side of the basilica and only a two-minute walk away.Unfortunately, only 1,500 characters are allowed here. Therefore, our conclusion is:We can definitely recommend Jacci and Rob's house!

    This is a lovely apartment; everything was beautifully done…and so much thoughtful attention to detail everywhere. The owners have compiled excellent information about the apartment and the town. The location is fantastic: peaceful and quiet. You can easily walk to everything. NOTE: be sure to get clear, specific directions to the apartment and also to the correct parking garage. We had a very difficult time with both upon our arrival but finally got it figured out. All in all this is a very special and charming place; we felt very lucky to have found it. Thank you, Jacci et Rob!

    We had a lovely week, just what we wanted after our daughters had finished their exams. The house was perfect, they loved the upstairs room and the view of the church was amazing. The dog enjoyed herself too! The location couldn't have been any better, beside the little park with amazing views and a lovely pub and cafe just 2 mins walk away, and central to the rest of town. We are already familiar with the area and love the nearby coastline and all the local markets.

    My wife and I decided to stay for a month in Brittany and chose this ideally located apartment in the Dinan Historic Centre. It is situated on the lovely Jardin Anglais and is 100 metres from the city wall overlooking the Rance River valley. With the exception of a newly opening B&B nearby, it is the only apartment situated on the garden and an easy walk to shops, cafes, grocery stores and launderettes. It is next to the Basilica, which thankfully does not chime during sleeping hours. We had a fair amount of cool, wet weather in May, but the house manager Cecily kindly came by to refresh our linens every 7-10 days. The kitchen was quite adequate to cook a variety of meals, with several spices and condiments available. There was a wealth of information on the area and there is underground parking available, which is a huge plus. We felt quite at home and were sorry to leave--thanks again to Jacci and Rob!
