About this house rental
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!

The small medieval town of Dinan is a real gem (with its abundance of old authentic buildings and small lanes and places and the spectacular view over the river „Rance“ and the port) and Dinan House is the icing on the cake: an outstanding location - probably the best holiday-accomodation we ever rented in decades. The house itself provides a lovely atmosphere with lots of charming details and a very pleasant mixture old and modern furnishing -mostly far above standard. The location next to the „centre historique“ - though surprisingly calm and quiet - gives easy access to everything you could wish for: numerous cafés, bars, restaurant of every level, boulangeries, a boucherie, epiceries and small supermarkets can be reached on foot. The „Jardin Anglais“ almost makes up for the lack of an individual garden. Enjoying a meal after a eventful day out while sitting at the table and looking at the „Basilique St.Saveur“ and the „Jardin Anglais" through the open window: absolutely heaven. The owners supplied us with extremely well organized and helpful informations. Communication always was pleasant. The parking card was very convenient and the contactless access to the house via a key-safe worked very well. A pity we didn’t meet Sean -the house manager-personally, due to pandemy restrictions. We strongly recommend Dinan House and consider booking it again in the future!
