La petite brise

😊: Rural setting with on-site parking. Good base, only 40 minutes from ferry port of St Malo, for exploring this lovely part of Brittany including historic towns of Dinan and St Malo. Generally well-equipped kitchen for self-catering. Adequate furnishings. Comfortable bed in main bedroom. While there are various French cuisine restaurants within about 5 km, only one, Pigments et Papilles seemed to be open in the evening in September.. 😢: Description doesn't indicate that the bathroom is accessed via the main bedroom, so occupants of the second bedroom have to pass through the main bedroom to reach the bathroom and shower, and that there are steps between the landing (where the toilet is located) and main bedroom, and another step down into the bathroom. A bit hazardous at night! Strangely, the property has no TV or radio and only two dinner knives. The microwave is located on top of the fridge/freezer, too high to be safe when removing containers of hot food. Furnishing is certainly not luxurious, probably from 1960s See photos. It was disappointing that the owner made no contact throughout our four-day stay, despite apparently living very near and being very welcoming according to other reviews. Unusually, the small print says: 'A damage deposit of € 250 is required on arrival. This will be collected as a cash payment. You should be reimbursed on check-out. Your deposit will be refunded in full in cash, subject to an inspection of the property.' We went to the trouble of getting this considerable amount of cash from a cashpoint on our way to the property, but it proved unnecessary. In the last 10 years, we have stayed in many Booking.com properties and are slightly puzzled by the '9.5 Exceptional' rating of this property and would have expected a rating around '8.5 Good.'.

😊: Very nice host that showed us the property and gave us advice on where to lunch. It's a nice and spacious house, with all the comforts you need. Great masterbedroom and a nice garden..

😊: beautiful house in the countryside furnished with good taste. kind and friendly host.. 😢: It would help having the possibility to control better the temperature of the rooms..

😊: Everything, the place is wonderful and especially very kind and attentive owners.
