The lodging of Rondel Chesne

Our family could not have had a better experience while we stayed in this home. The owners are kind and welcoming, and they have created a house that carefully preserves its fascinating history while adding all the necessary modern conveniences (like the state-of-the-art washing machine, which was a welcome bonus). Even while hanging laundry, we were stunned by the views in every direction; and we were charmed by the details inside and around the cottage. Our hosts also gave us excellent personalized recommendations for cities and sights to take in during our week's stay. Those recommendations were perfect for our family. Additionally, they introduced us to the charm of the Saint-Germain-sur-Ille village centre, which is amazing. Shops and restaurants are located nearby (in town or in the many neighbouring villages), so everything is very handy. Our favourite home feature was the outdoor family cat, who protected us throughout our stay. :) We would return to this property in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful week's stay in this brilliant house. The owners live next door and are very friendly and helpful. The house is big and very well equipped, having a sitting room space both upstairs and downstairs is a great bonus. The outside terrace over looking the valley is lovely, along with the garden space. It's very well located and was very easy to drive to Rennes or St Malo, also Mont Saint Michel is fairly close by and lots of other places to visit. We brought our little dog with us who was very welcome at the house. Unfortunately most of the beaches along the nearby coast don't allow dogs in July and August, which makes the beaches lovely and clean if you aren't bringing a dog with you. All in all a wonderful week's holiday and I highly recommend this house.

In this house, we felt as though we were living not in a designed-for-tourists property but a genuine French house, the kind one might rent for a year or longer. The house is very spacious, the kitchen (gas stove! Great!) is complete and well-equipped, even with a small freezer, and a dining table that easily seats six. AND there is a small deck and back yard overlooking meadows and woods, a view that was likely the same 200 years ago. One note for Americans: the house is really 1-1/2 baths, not two full baths. The landlady is very friendly and helpful. She and her husband live just across the courtyard so are readily available to answer questions. If you stay there, do try to eat once at Le Cot Vert, in a nearby village. Fabulous food and a beautiful large deck on the water.

La maison était très confortable et nous avons aimé la vue sur la vallée. Il y a beaucoup à voir et à faire dans les villes environnantes. Marion était très accueillante.
