About this property

At the other end of the bedroom is the bathroom with a feature free standing roll-top slipper bath, wc and basin.

Location - La Marette is perfectly located to explore Brittany and easily accessible to transport links. Situated close enough to the N12 to be a great advantage to reach airports, ports and cities such as Rennes, but not so close as to be a nuisance. The medieval town of Dinan is only 20 minutes away, St Malo port 50 minutes, Dinard Airport 30 minutes, Rennes Airport 40 minutes and the north coast of Brittany only 45 minutes away. The local village of Caulnes offers all of the day to day conveniences for your stay in our Brittany gites, supermarket, café, Post Office, bank, petrol station, bakery etc. So although you will be in the heart of the Brittany countryside, all conveniences are only a stones throw away.

La Marette Gites offer a Gite holiday with a difference - Catering Available

The gite is beautifully equipped for self catering but for something a little special in high season a 'plat du jour' (dish of the day) is offered every evening of the week (except Sunday) which will be prepared by the owner from wonderful local and home produced ingredients and delivered to your gite for you to enjoy at your leisure. From antipasti platters, to Gourmet 5 course meals, La Marette can cater for all occasions. Out of high season catering can be provided by request.

So what can you do whilst at La Marette:
The beautiful emerald coast with its plethora of beaches are from 30 mins away.
If you are a golfer, so many courses to choose from, from 20 mins.
For the kids: the Aquarium up at Saint Malo, the Zoo at La Bourbansais, Jugon les Lacs with various water sport activities, Dolo with the zip wire water skiing, lots of walking trails and cycling routes - a great place to explore Brittany.

If you are a keen cyclist, the Tour de Bretagne is coming our way. Calling all cyclists and all "like to watch cyclists" - The Breton Tour 25th April to 1st May (ending in Dinan) - so just up the road. Book your stay at La Marette - stages 5, 6 & 7 all very doable from La Marette Gites.
