Amazing location, wonderful host
Pictures cannot do this property justice, it is in a stunning location. Robyn is a wonderful host who could not do enough for us. The property is small but has everything we needed and is perfect for two, we stayed a week and were so sad to leave. The exterior of the property is a real treasure, gardens tended by the host and a rooftop terrace to soak up the summer sun, very private. The property is on a wonderful street, leading from the port to the town, Dinan is simply beautiful. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and would love to return.

Garden paradise in charming old town
Our cottage was lovely, comfortable, and well-appointed. The hosts are gracious. The gardens, on multiple levels, are spectacular. Perfect places for enjoying a drink, a book, and views. The location is within a few minutes walk of both the port and old city.

August stay
Everything was thoughtfully organised in the apartment and the garden is a lovely peaceful retreat. Great location in the town and near the river for walking and cycling. Advise parking at the top of the hill if you can as its tricky manoevring on the hill. Thank you Robyn.

Wonderful stay in a quaint secret garden
We loved our stay in this comfortable accomodation. Her garden inside the walled area is so beautiful and delightful to sit in and relax. We even used the barbeque one evening as the weather was amazing. Robyn is an amazing host and gives far more than is expected of her time and in what she provides for her guests ( muffins and wine on arrival). The setting is so convenient to explore Dinan, as is it literally in the middle of town on one of the cobbled roads. The only down, if it is a down is that the parking is extremely steep and is tight. We walked everywhere in Dinan and then hired bikes nearby and cycled on the Voie Vert to St Malo and Dinard and then the opposite way down the river as well and loved it. We also explored the coast for a day.

Simply Superb
Superlatives are needed to give an accurate idea of how wonderful Robyn's gite is. The location just outside the walls and a few minutes walk to the main town or the port make it perfect for enjoying all that Dinan has to offer. The gîte is beautifully decorated and comes with all the amenities you could want. Robyn supplies a welcome bottle of wine and home made muffins which are a lovely touch. Parking is free and available close by. The crown jewels are the magnificent garden and outdoor seating to take advantage of the views of roses and ancient walls. I cannot recommend staying here strongly enough.

You Won't Find a Better Stay
Loved our cottage stay within this quaint little medieval town. This is an excellent place to submerse yourself in Dinan & the surrounding areas. Robyn and Ross were such lovely hosts, they really went out of their way to look after us. You'll totally feel at home here. The cottage was impeccably clean, well organised & comfortable. We even had homemade treats on arrival. Our highlight was the impeccable 2 tier garden setting. You'll love every moment while staying here!

Beautiful cottage and gardens in the centre of Dinan
Absolutely fantastic stay here that I would quite happily recommend to anyone. Tucked away off the street that leads from Dinan town to the port, 2 mins walk to shops/restaurants and yet quiet and secluded. The two gardens are both delightful, a lovely place to end the day with a bottle of wine after sightseeing. Really thoughtful welcome basket with homemade muffins and jam and a bottle of wine was a lovely way to start the trip (and the tomatoes from the garden were delicious). A great central location and very easy to drive to the beach (25mins) and other pretty Brittany towns. I could have quite easily spent longer here, there is so much to see in the area. Thanks Robyn, I'm sure you'll be seeing us again at some point.

Best kept secret
From the moment you walk into the beautiful country garden the property is a delightful surprise. With a warm friendly welcome from Robyn and Molly ( the most beautiful miniature cockapoo ) you are shown around the property, eager to make sure you feel at home. The attention to detail is a credit to Robyn as she has thought of everything including a bottle of wine in the welcome pack!! We had an arrangement of flowers which I thought were silk as they were so perfect - turns out everything from the garden arranged by Robyn - beautiful. We enjoyed sitting in the tranquil garden with a glass of wine in the evenings - so peaceful. We cannot recommend this property enough and we look forward to our next visit. Thank you Robyn

Great Place
We were very pleased with our stay at the cottage, Robyn and Ross are great hosts, and Molly the dog. Nice touches such as home made Jam, muffins, and wine on our arrival. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. Dinan has lots of places to visit in the town, and Robyn is very knowledgeable of the area, a great place to stay!

we always relax in Dinan, but the comfort of this place was top class, and everything enhanced by the friendliness and helpfulness of Robyn. The weather was exceptional for mid-October, which meant we could also enjoy the lovely garden.

Magical!
It's hard to believe that just off the bustling, cobbled street lies this enchanting house with gardens on 2 levels. We spent 12 nights in Albertine and explored Dinan and many wonderful sights in Brittany. It was always lovely to return to the peaceful haven of Albertine and chill out in the beautiful gardens. Robyn was a wonderful hostess who ensured we had everything we needed at all times. From the welcome goodie pack including wine and home made muffins to the gorgeous bed linen we felt truly spoilt! Highly recommended.

A fabulous relaxing holiday
Albertine is restful and secluded yet in prime location on the cobbled road leading up into the walled town of Dinan or straight down to the little river port. Exploring the town and its excellent eating houses contrasted with river bank walls - fabulous! Albertine is well appointed and delightful. Robyn is an excellent host, nothing is too much trouble. The garden provides a beautifully scented haven for relaxing and al fresco eating, a real gem!

Magical spot in medieval setting
I can't say enough good things about our stay in this lovely cottage with its magical garden. It is truly a gem and should not be missed. It is within walking distance of everything, off one of the best streets in town - simply oozing with charm and comfort. Our great hostess, Robyn, welcomed us with a bottle of wine and home made muffins and was very helpful in all respects. The WiFi was great! We were very comfortable and sad to leave. WE hope to be able to return one day!

I have stayed at many giveaway properties but very few have been as perfect as this one.
This cottage is a perfect property as your home away from home. From its charming decor to its stunning gardens it has all the amenities needed to make this a perfect retreat. The cottage is in immaculate condition and Robyn provided the little extras that make it so special- a bottle of wine and homemade muffins! The location is also perfect for exploring the quaint town of Dinan as well as some of the other charming areas around Brittany. This is one of those places that I would return to over and over again if I lived closer.
