We had a fantastic stay. Once again, congratulations on the interior decor and the great care you provide to your guests. We would like to thank Judith also for her kindness and professionalism.
Sylvie and Dominique Christophe
20th September 2024Some Warm Sunshine and lots of Oysters.. Great location for this week in Brittany, some warm sunshine and lots of oysters, moules frits, galettes and wine. Great place to stay for visiting the lovely region, Saint Malo, Saint Suliac and le Mont Saint-Michel are all worth visiting. Visit Cancale for the oysters, you can buy them on the quai and have a bottle glass of wine and sit on the pier and eat them with lemon, the tradition is to toss the shells into the sea. Will highly recommend Maison Cachée to friends and would love to return to this region and La Maison Cachée again! Robin Smythe and Family 13th September 2024 This home is beautiful and perfectly situated We have returned to Brittany after five years away and have had a blissful week. This home is beautiful and perfectly situated for the wonderful restaurants on the K. The weather did not disappoint as always we will return Ambito Brittany many thanks Emma, James, Ben & Rosie Bunting 2nd August 2024 Eight nights, lovely Christmas feel.... Fantastic Family Christmas holiday. Eight nights, lovely Christmas feel both at the port and in the village. Everything as expected!Best wishes Seamus and Maxime - the Ryan family 27th December 2023 ‘Why are you going to Brittany' ? ‘Why are you going to Brittany? they said its no different from Cownwall! They said wrong! The weather has been warmer and sunnier, the bike riding safer, the beaches less crowded, the food ‘Frencher” (naturally), so different and so lovely. Not sure why we have travelled so much further previously…Glad we brought the bike. Wished we had checked the tide times before paddle boarding (rocky mistake). We will be back for more and more exploring, shell collecting and sailing. Anna, Angus, Angus jr, Tess, G’ma & G’dad 31st August 2023 'The house was immaculate when we arrived' Thank you so much for hosting us in your beautiful Breton Cottage. We have had a lovely week in the extremely pretty Dinan. The house was immaculate when we arrived and the location was perfect for our teens to have their independence and our younger one to enjoy kayaking on the river. We especially loved the Dinan Thursday morning market and also the beaches in Dinard and the old part of Rennes. A special thanks to Judith for immediately helping us when our car battery died one day.! We really appreciated her help and advice. Thank you. Many happy memories… Rob, Faye Graham 18th August 2023 'Every home comfort for a relaxing and luxurious stay' The house is absolutely beautiful and has every home comfort for a relaxing and luxurious stay. The location is wonderful, with a fantastic range of bars and restaurants all a few minutes walk away, with the delights of the medieval centre of Dinan just a little further. We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this property to family and friends. We also received superb, friendly support and advice from Judith, from our initial enquiry and throughout our stay, always going above and beyond what might be expected. For example recommending dog-friendly beaches and walks, and even arranging a vet appointment for us. Kate & Chris Dalglish 28th July 2023 'What a delightful fortnight we have had'... What a delightful fortnight we have had! La Maison Cachée is a beautiful house in which to have our holiday in our favourite French town. The free of charge Dinamo mini bus service from the port has been a real bonus! For an excellent meal, we strongly recommend L’Atelier Gourmand. Judith is a superb property manager; we’d love to return! Stephen & Sue Sandham 14th July 2023 'We have had 2 amazing weeks at Maison Cachée' We have had 2 amazing weeks at Maison Cachée, the house is beautifully presented and perfect in every way. The weather has been very hot so the coolness of the house was just right for our small dog to rest! The pretty walled garden was perfect for relaxing and having an aperitif before dinner. We enjoyed the Pilote restaurant in the Port for a special meal and so nice to eat in their lovely peaceful garden and also have a drink on the riverside. Atelier Gourmand is also very good. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to stay with our small dog in this beautiful house and to Judith for all the help to make the booking so easy and for the lovely welcome hamper! We will definitely be returning! Viv , Bill & Archy Everton 29th June 2023 A lovely house in a beautiful holiday town A lovely house in a beautiful holiday town. The walled patio is ideal especially for small children. We loved being able to walk to the local bakery and to the excellent choice of restaurants on the quay. Many thanks to Judith and the owners Rosie & Ian and the Ramesh family. 1st June 2023 La Maison Cachée is a delightful retreat right on the Rance ! The house is spacious and beautiful and right at the front of Dinan port. Loved the little courtyard and the rose garden a real great heat trap in the afternoon. Great location for biking, kayaking, river cruising and restaurants of which we did plenty! Thanks to the owners for keeping and presenting such a lovely property, and thanks to Judith from Brittany Connections for making the booking experience, slick and cosy. One week is not enough here! Kevin & Arlene Fitzpatrick and family 17 July 2022 The Maison Cachée seduced us! Tastefully decorated rooms, comfortable bedding. Each bedroom had a nice bathroom and each room has its own identity and delicate fragrance. On the ground floor, a spacious sitting room where young and old find their favourite place, a pretty courtyard where children can play in safety and which welcomes fresco dining. Dinan, a lively town with a sublime heritage and has to offer beautiful walks on the banks of the Rance, these are additional assets. Thanks to Judith for her kindness and keeping in close contact. Everything seems simplified with her. We would definitely be very happy to return, one week wasn’t enough! François and Violette, Isabelle, Clémentine 25 May 2022 Thanks for such beautiful and charming house.... Decorated with delicacy and finesse. Your secret courtyard is a quiet and soothing place to rest, and even work (from home!) We enjoyed very much the house and the surrounding, discovering the Rance Valley. Thanks again for the serenity and calm that your house brings to its guests! We wish to have a longer stay next time. Feeling comfortable and at home, allows you to fully enjoy the natural and tourist environment of Dinan and its surroundings. Thank you again Judith for introducing us to this very charming “Hidden House”. The quality of the accommodation and the comfort in addition to the cleanliness are equal to the other holiday homes that Judith has previously recommended to us. De la Fuente-Urene 8 May 2022 |
