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.

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.

little diamond of dinan!

"little diamond of dinan!" Where do i start?.... the wonderful welcome of 2 lovely people and their pretty little pooch who greet you with homemade jam, muffins and wine, or the dynamic Robyn who puts herself well out to ensure your holiday runs smoothly as possible, the beautiful gardens with their panoramic views or even the luxurious bedlinen, soft furnishings and rustic charm of Albertine cottage herself? It really doesnt matter where i start because i couldnt think of anywhere better to stay than Albertine to compliment the sheer beauty of Dinan. Thankyou robyn, ross, molly and the "little diamond of dinan!" xx

Albertine

We spent nearly 2 weeks living in Albertine and our stay was perfect in every way. We endorse all that other reviewers have said about Albertine and the sister, slightly smaller, gite Jasmine. Albertine is a good size for a couple. On the first floor is a generous double bed with lovely sheets and the bathroom is on the same floor. A large TV downstairs in the living room is tuned to English channels. Parking is free and was always available on a steep road nearby. You must be able to cope with steep cobbled slopes, but that is one of the charms of living in this beautiful historic town which we were revisiting after many years. Robyn was the perfect hostess. She works hard in her beautiful garden which was in its prime. One day a blackcap serenaded us at breakfast, always taken outside. We thoroughly recommend Albertine

Un petit paradis de calme

Excellent séjour dans le jardin de Robyn, idéalement situé en plein Dinan, entre le port et les remparts. Un petit coeur de verdure dans la ville. Superbe jardin très calme. Robyn nous a fourni plein de bons tuyaux sur la ville et les alentours. Nous avons hâte d'y revenir.

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.
