Built in 1814, Val Rive's setting is very picturesque – directly overlooking the medieval toll bridge which leads up to the 9th century Abbey and ancient ruined Chateau of Léhon. Indeed, Léhon has the status of ‘Petite Cité de Caractère' (small town of character) and visitors fall in love with it, returning year after year to this charming village. The owners are confident you will feel the same should you decide to book a stay at Rose cottage!

‘Rose’ is one of two cottages and six apartments that are all located within the grounds and house of ‘Val Rive’, beside the beautiful Rance river. It’s located in the quaint quartier of Léhon on the outskirts of the historic town of Dinan – one of the best-preserved medieval towns in France. Rose cottage is well equipped and furnished to a high standard with antique and solid oak furniture throughout. The accommodation is on three levels, consisting of an open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area on the ground floor, twin bedroom and shower room/WC on the first floor and a spacious ‘penthouse’ bedroom (with king-size bed) on the second floor. There is also a large, shared terrace garden, patio area, and private, off-road parking next to the property. There is a laundry room in the main house which has a washing machine and clothes dryer. You'll also find an iron and ironing board in this room, along with a hairdryer, that can be borrowed and then returned to the room. A cot and high chair is available too – please contact us if you'd like to use these for the duration of your stay.

Riverside paths in front of Val Rive lead into the tranquil Breton countryside – perfect for walking, cycling or taking a picnic – and to the scenic river harbour of ‘Port de Dinan’ where you’ll find many restaurants and brasseries. From here you can walk up the pretty cobbled street of Rue Jerzual, to the centre of Dinan. The Rance flows into the sea between Dinard and St Malo, and these picturesque seaside towns are well worth visiting too. For those wishing to swim there's a 25m public swimming pool (outdoor heated, with waterslide) less than 5 minutes walk away. Léhon also has a tennis club, with four indoor courts and one outdoor court. Other activities in the area include golf, hiking, fishing and watersports. There's much to explore in the surrounding region: rugged beaches, ruined castles, beautiful churches and town squares with delightful cafes serving Breton specialities. A hire car is the easiest way to get around but bicycles are great fun too. You might choose to cycle to Dinard along the old towpaths of the Rance valley that help make up the ‘voies vertes’ network. Alternatively, you could rent a boat, canoe or kayak for an hour or two on the Rance.
