The site “Manoir du Bourg” comprises three stunning 17th-century properties, steeped in history and located in the centre of the village of Saint Helen.
The properties can be booked as all three houses or as single units. (See above for more details).
The calendars may be blocked for all three properties rented together but we may have availability for individual properties. Please enquire.
Rented all together, they can accommodate 22 guests in total from May to the end of August. During September and October total capacity is 18 guests.
The properties provide luxury accommodation for families, groups of friends or individuals looking for something a little bit special.
The 3 properties are situated in a grassy, landscaped courtyard. The owners, Laure and David live on site.

Inside all the accommodations:

Cots and equipment for young children (high- chair, baby bath, baby changing mat) are available on request. Please bring your baby’s bedding with you.

Guests are requested to bring their own personal bath and pool towels.

A private parking area (outside the property but adjacent to the main gate) allows 6 cars to park. For more than 6 cars, a public parking place (free and safe) is also very near to the property (1 minute walk).
In 2023, it will be possible to recharge your electric car on the private parking area. There will be a cost for this. Please ask when you make your booking.
The gardens are large (total 2000 m2!) with a lovely grassy area, an ideal haven to play safely. You can play football, molkky, (Scandinavian skittles) badminton, palets Breton (kind of breton ‘pétanque’), etc. There is a shady area with also a pergola and tables
There is a heated outdoor swimming pool, (safe access via a gate) dimensions: 9x4 meters. Deckchairs and parasol are available there. The pool is open from end of May until the end of September. Please bring your own pool towels.

Also at your disposal is a covered games area with table tennis, darts and a pool table.

A popular addition for the youngsters is an indoor den, also known as “The Kid’s Only” room – no adults allowed! This has a flat-screen TV and children's DVDs together with games and books. It is a great place for the youngsters to chill out.

The Manoir is located in the peaceful heart of the village Saint Helen, close to Dinan in northern Brittany (10 minutes away by car).
It's just a minute's walk to the local bar (with a small grocer's shop where you will also find regional products) and a bakery where delicious fresh breads and pastries are baked daily.
The closest supermarkets are located at Lanvallay, 7 minutes ago from your accommodation by car.

In Saint Helen, there is also a tennis court adjacent to the property (some racquets from the owners are available) and a small fishing lake a few minutes’ walk away.
The beautiful forest of Coetquen is only 10 minutes walk from the Manoir. Ideal for walkers, joggers, trekkers, bikers etc.
Bicycles can be hired locally and delivered to your accommodation!
There is much to see and do without travelling far! It makes Le Manoir a perfect place for a happy and relaxed holiday.

A little bit further, just a few minutes away by car, the nearby zoo and aquarium are great places to visit. You should not miss visiting Dinan, Saint Malo, Dinard, Erquy, Saint Cast-Le-Guildo, Cancale, Le Mont Saint Michel, and all the wonderful beaches along the north Brittany coast, walking on the famous long hiking trail GR34 bordering the Brittany coast from Mont Saint Michel to Saint Nazaire (about 2000 km for fans of trekking!!)! More details on what to do and see and to travel across our region will be sent to you in the welcome booklet of your accommodation a couple of weeks before your arrival.

Cook /chef, catering services:
Complete your experience during your stay in France by enjoying a gastronomic meal served at your cottage. After deciding the menu with Laure, she will take care of all details, from buying ingredients, preparing and serving the meal to you. Your chef can also take care of your daily meals. (services to be booked in advance before your arrival)

A food truck offering freshly made crepes, a Breton speciality, can be arranged to visit Manoir du Bourg. This is dependent on a minimum number of 12 guests wishing to book. It is a great opportunity to sample the local cuisine. Please ask Laure if this may be of interest to you during your stay.

Please enquire for pricing of individual properties. I am happy to suggest the best combination of the properties for specific groups and numbers of guests.
