Gite Abricot has been carefully renovated in the old barn of the farm.
The front door leads you into the main room with a high ceiling, oak beams and exposed stone walls. There is an open plan kitchen (fan oven, gas hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, coffee machine and toaster), a dining area and a sitting area with a comfortable sofa and armchairs. On the ground floor there is a toilet.
Upstairs you will find a bathroom with bath and WC and three bedrooms: a master suite with a queen-size bed and en-suite shower room and WC; a bedroom with two single beds; a bedroom with a single bed and bunk beds.
There is also a terrace in front of the house facing east overlooking the fish pond, then the gardens, playground and pool enclosure. It is equipped with a table, parasol and barbecue.
The gite is private; the pool, gardens, playground and laundry room are shared with other travellers. La Lohuas is an old farmhouse with character, typical of the region. It is built of stone, wood and slate. Bathed in sunlight, its charm is enhanced.
The six gîtes open onto a courtyard with a fish pond. Each of them has a terrace where you can enjoy the sunshine and birdsong.
The various outdoor areas allow you to relax and offer your children something to play with, even during the occasional rainfall, thanks to the covered play area. The secure, covered and heated swimming pool with waterfall and sunbathing area is very popular with everyone.
It is a great place to meet other families and your children will enjoy making new friends.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and cannot wait to return next summer!
Before we arrived, the communication from Emmanuel about our stay was excellent. When we got there, nothing was too much trouble - the care for the guests was first rate. Our gite had everything that we needed and we felt at home. Our daughter loved the swimming pool and the play barn. There are also so many things to do in the local area for adults and children alike. This is a hidden gem!

A great family holiday
We last stayed in the summer of 2023 and we liked it so much we came back this year. Emmanuel and Aude are great hosts and have made a number of improvements in the two years since we last visited. Gite Abricot is spacious and well equipped and the swimming pool, trampoline and Wendy house, feeding the animals etc. kept the kids entertained while they made friends with the other children staying. The location is great with Dinan and a zoo a short drive away and beautiful beaches 30 mins away.

We had a wonderful family holiday, and were so well looked after by our delightful hosts.
There were so many activities to entertain the children. They enjoyed the games and the trampoline, and had fun feeding the animals. It was such a bonus having a covered, heated pool - that was definitely the highlight of our stay.
Abricot Gîte suited our extended family very well. It was comfortable and well appointed, and we all felt very much at home. We particularly appreciated the fresh bakery delivery every morning - thank you, Emmanuel.

About the host
Hosted by Host
Hello, we are Aude and Emmanuel, a young family with our first child. We would like to offer you a place to relax, get away from it all and recharge your batteries as a family. We are happy to make this magnificent place live, which was first a farm where many animals lived and then has been renovated into different gîtes over the last twenty years.
We aim to make your day-to-day organisation easier by providing you with everything you may need and allowing you to travel light. All the gîtes are designed for families and to allow you to get to know other families if you wish. The shared play areas and swimming pool allow children to make new friends.
We are passionate about local produce and gastronomy and will be happy to help you discover the riches of our region.
