What a wonderful little place. Fantastic location to get away from it all and to explore Dinan. Miranda couldn't have been more helpful with our booking and making sure our stay was perfect. Thank you. Will be sure to recommend and hopefully stay again in the future.

We had a lovely time between the flowers and fruit trees and in the well equipped cottage! Mira de really thought about everything detail. There are lots of nice places to visit in the area such as Dinan, Dinard and St. Malo.
10.0 / 10.0
This cottage is such a quaint place! It's all very thoughtfully arranged. And the garden is also so nicely composed. The smell of the honeysuckle is amazing! We even spotted a hummingbird hawkmoth!
All in all, the house is not very spacious but alright for 2 grown-ups and 2 kids. And outside there's a big table to eat outside. The kitchen is totally equipped and there's a washing machine in the cellar, which is very handy.
The village is really small and idyllic, albeit a bit remote. That needs to be considered beforehand. We enjoyed the quiet very much. And the busy, bubbly and outstandingly beautiful city of Dinan is just around the corner (a 10 minute drive away!). And many other sights are within reach, like Saint Malo, Mont Saint Michel, beautiful beaches etc. Go visit Whileaway Cottage!

We stayed in this delightful cottage in September, definitely ‘a peaceful rural retreat’. It is full of original features and well equipped with everything that you might need for your stay. Comfy beds, a good kitchen/lounge area, complete with secluded garden for outside dining. We found plenty of places to eat out in nearby Lanvallay but would recommend not travelling into Rennes by car! Visiting the beautiful St Malo is a must.

We had a good time at this wonderful little cottage, upstairs for tall Dutch people :) is was minding your head but everything was very neat and proper. The kitchen was fully equipped, not often that everything is available. We were also pleasantly surprised by the treats the host left behind and the beamer to watch movies in the evening. The garden is great with as special highlights for our kids the ping pong table. And although the weather was not always great we had the opportunity to eat outside everyday , plenty of room for that. The bikes were great (you need a little bit of a good condition as the surroundings are hilly). The place is a little bit in the middle of nowhere but with the tips from Miranda and all information available there is plenty to do. In 30 min drive you have wonderful beaches and of course the village of Dinan, Dinand , Saint Malo and Rennes.
Overall we have a lovely time !

A lovely well appointed cottage. The bedrooms were even nicer than the photos portrayed. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics plus a super welcome basket. We spent a long time reading in the garden which, again, was very pleasant. And, on top of everything, there is a friendly, resident cat.

Beautiful Brittany Gite
Beautiful Brittany Gite
We had a wonderful 3 night stay in this lovely gite. It was very clean and well-equipped, with everything one might need. The garden is just beautiful and we enjoyed reading and playing table tennis every afternoon/eve. Such a lovely area with so much to see and do. We will definitely be returning to this area and, hopefully, this gite again. The hosts were very helpful as well and responded quickly. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!!
We had a fantastic week here. The cottage was very comfortable and only a short drive to many of the area's major attractions. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed including bikes, which was a nice surprise for us. We spent a great day biking to Dinar with the kids and wondering the streets. We highly recommend Whileaway cottage - it is a wonderful place!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Whileaway Cottage sehr genossen - haben jeden Tag in dem schönen, natürlichen Garten gegessen und auch Tischtennis gespielt. Das Haus ist klein und typisch Bretonisch - passt sehr gut in die Gegend! Der Standpunkt war für uns genial: sehr ruhig und erholsam aber gleichzeitig konnten wir von dort aus alle schönen Sehenswürdigkeiten und Gegenden der Bretagne erreichen. Empfehlenswert!

Ce petit cottage est très bien équipé et a beaucoup de charme. Nous avons passé un très bon nouvel an en famille. Le poêle chauffe bien la pièce principale. Ne pas hésitez à s'en servir. Petits plus : le tableau de craies pour les enfants, le rétroprojecteur et bouillottes pour toute la famille. A 30 min de Dinard et Saint Malo, magnifiques. A 15 min de Dinan, très jolie bourgade. Au top pour un séjour reposant et prendre le bon air marin !

Sehr schönes, geschmackvolles und ruhig gelegenes Ferienhaus bretonischer Art
Sehr schönes, geschmackvolles und ruhig gelegenes Ferienhaus bretonischer Art
Wir waren öfter in der Bretagne und haben die wunderschöne Landschaft mit ihrem teils launigem Wetter genossen. Wir hatten auch immer gute Ferienhäuser. Dieses Cottage gehört auf jeden Fall dazu. Die Größe war für uns (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) gerade richtig - kein Palast, aber wir brauchten auch nicht mehr. Wir waren eh die meiste Zeit draußen, vom Frühstück bis zum Abend. Und wenn es dunkel und kälter wurde, haben wir es uns im Wohnraum mit Kaminofen gemütlich gemacht. Im Garten fielen die reifen Pflaumen vom Baum, so dass wir öfter Kuchen in der sehr gut ausgestatteten Küche gebacken haben. Sowieso war alles da, was wir brauchten: viele gute Fahrräder, eine tolle Tischtennisplatte, wer wollte konnte sich den DVD-Player aufbauen und aus der reichlichen Sammlung etwas anschauen, gute Bücher (meist auf Englisch), Spiele und sogar eine Gitarre. Die Lage in dem kleinen Weiler war schon etwas einsam - bis zum nächsten Supermarkt sind es knapp sieben Kilometer - aber das haben wir uns ja ausgesucht. Zum nächsten Dorf kann man eine schöne Fahrradtour machen, wir sind auch bis Dinan gefahren. Abends wurde es sehr still und der unglaubliche Sternenhimmel hat den Rest dazu getan.
Ach ja - Rennes, Dinard, St. Malo und Dinan sind wunderschöne, alte Städte in der Nähe, die man sich auf jeden Fall anschauen sollte. Dort gibt es tolle Strände und auch gute Möglichkeiten, ein wenig zu Shoppen. Vielleicht schafft man es auch mal bis zum Mt Saint Michel...

Perfect place to stay
Perfect place to stay
We really loved to stay at Whileaway Cottage. We got a location plan in advance so it`s been no problem to find the Cottage. First of all, Miranda and Adam, the owner of the Cottage, are friendly, smart and interesting people, who welcomed us very warmly. We got a little basket with biscuites, Cidre, showergel etc. The Cottage is very well appointed, you got everything you need to cook, as well towels and bedclothes. It`s cosy and beautiful, surrounded by a garden full of flowers, where we liked to sit in the evening. One can visit Dinan, Dinard, Saint-Malo and other places of interest while staying at the Cottage. There`s a supermarket 10 minutes to drive by car and the beach is about 20 minutes to drive. We`d like to come back, maybe next year!
