Enjoyable Relaxing Stay

We had a great visit. The house was as expected and had everything we needed. It was great to have fresh bread every other morning with a Boulangerie less than five minutes walk away. One of the unexpected highlights was the town fete with lots of stalls and live music in the evening. Plenee Jugon is an ideal base for visiting the sites and towns of Brittany.

Belle maison pour les vacances au calme

Un endroit très calme, un grand jardin clôturé (notre chien était heureux). Nous avons passé de très bons moments. On a pu visiter Saint-Malo (50 min), Cancale, Dinan, Dinar. Les plages sont à 30 min en voiture.

Ferienhaus mit schönem Garten zum Wohlfühlen

Wir haben uns in diesem gemütlichen Ferienhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Sanitärräume sind nicht auf dem neuesten Stand, für uns war dies aber völlig in Ordnung. Es gibt am Ort noch zwei sehr gute Bäckereien, eine Post und ein Intermarche, somit kann man alles Notwendige schnell vor Ort einkaufen. Der Ort bietet ausserdem einen schönen gepflegten Spazierweg am Bach entlang mit Fitnessgeräten, Spielplatz, Basketball- und Fussballfeld. Auch für Hundespaziergänge oder zum Joggen sehr schön. Von der Lage her gut, wenn man sowohl ans Meer wie ins Hinterland will und nicht so extrem touristisch wie die Orte am Meer. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Excellent gite pour les amoureux de la nature

Nous avons passé de merveilleux moments en famille : déjeuners et jeux dans le jardin avec nos petits enfants, le tout en écoutant le chant des oiseaux...Calme, sérénité sont au rendez vous. Aux environs, les espaces jeux pour les enfants (Jugon, Dolo) sont très bien conçus pour des petits de moins de 3 ans. La visite de l'abbaye de Boquen était également très enrichissante. La propriétaire est très réactive pour répondre à nos questions et la gardienne très efficace pour satisfaire nos demandes. Nous recommandons ce gite.

Très moyen

Beau jardin mais maison humide, les boiseries ont gonflé et la grande porte fenêtre est impossible à ouvrir du séjour . Elle est à remplacer. Travaux de peinture à effectuer. Du portail à l’entrée, accès rendu difficile par la pluie , glissant et boueux, risques de chutes… 2 fauteuils de jardin ?? Un peu léger ! Nous nous attendions à mieux !

Short stay

We enjoyed our stay, the location was prefect for easy journeys to the coast and further afield to explore. We had very warm weather and the house stayed cool at all times, thankfully. We really enjoyed Jurgon les Lac, and so did our dog who loved swimming in the lake.

As described, charming cottage in beautiful area of Brittany.

Just finished our 2 week stay June into July 2022. Cottage really was as described, everything practical you need and comfortable/cosy. Completely hidden from the street, with an extremely generous enclosed garden, so of course our 2 cocker spaniels loved it! Plenee Jurgon is a lovely village and seems to be growing. Has everything you could need in walking distance, intermarche and most importantly boulangerie/patisserie. So if you don’t want to drive anywhere you can just relax in the garden and take a short walk to the shops. Good location to explore Brittany. Dinan 30 minute drive is well worth a visit. Jurgon Les Lacs only 10 mins drive and has a lovely walk around the lake here plus water park, swimming pools and bike trails. Centre of village has a beautiful square to relax with a coffee and great options for food. Dinard a bit further away but well worth the 50 min to an hour’s drive. St Malo is just a short drive from here and also worth a visit. If relaxing and or exploring Brittany, this holiday cottage is perfect for a family. The host and local contact for the property were both very pleasant and replied to any queries we had without delay.

Grande maison pour accueillir une grande famille ou un groupe d’amis. Bien située pour les visites

La maison a de bons côtés car elle est spacieuse, il y a une grande cuisine, et un toilette à l’étage et un en bas, côté pratique ! Par contre, nous avons été très déçu par l’accueil, cela aurait été sympa d’avoir au moins un petit mot à notre arrivée, un message pour nous demander si nous étions bien installés…. Rien de tout cela, on n’a vu personne le temps de notre séjour. Les chaises étaient encore sur la table…. La propreté laisse à désirer, les tapis au sol sont sales et tachés. Pas hygiéniques, beaucoup d’humidité, les fenêtres sont moisies, les radiateurs rouillés, il y a une forte odeur de renfermé et d’humidité, nous avons dû relaver tous nos vêtements, même ceux qui étaient propres, la cuisine est spacieuse mais manque d’ustensiles (grand couteau, plats…..), le sol était taché et sale, les meubles de cuisine sales et gras, l’intérieur sous l’évier une horreur! La table extérieure était bancale et rafistolée avec de la corde, pas de transats comme annoncé alors qu’il faisait chaud, la terrasse est remplie de mauvaises herbes, les poubelles extérieures sont immondes! Et sentent très mauvais! Dans la trousse de toilette, certains produits sont périmés depuis 2006/2010!! C’est la première fois que nous réservons avec abritel et nous avons été fortement déçus…. (J’ai d’ailleurs pris quelques photos …). Ce serait peut-être bien de faites quelques travaux car c’est une location qui a un gros potentiel. Christelle

A wonderful week at Ty Mad

Just completed a wonderful week at this property. Everything was perfect, from the Comms with the owner through to check in and the house itself. The house was very clean and had everything you could have needed. Situated in a lovely village within a few mins drive of Jugon Les Lacs which is a great way to spend a day either walking around the lake or hiring bikes. Dinan well worth a visit as is Mont St Michel. Thoroughly enjoyed time there with my children and would highly recommend

Haus mit sehr schönem Garten in einem ruhigen Ort!

Das Haus ist gemütlich, nicht ganz topfit, aber schön. Der Garten ist wirklich sehr schön - mit einer wunderbaren Rasenfläche und dem Blick auf die Dächer herum. Es wäre sicher schön, wenn die Gartenmöbel einmal repariert oder erneuert werden würden - ansonsten können wir das Haus sehr empfehlen.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Schofield

I live in Yorkshire and I like to spend time in France. Ty Mad originally belonged to the village Miller who had it built in the 1950's. It retains many of its original features, beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace but it has a new roof, a new heating system and has been completely re-wired. What attracted me to the cottage was the chalet style of the property, unlike a lot of Brittany cottages it has big windows which make the rooms light and airy. The cottage also has a fantastic garden, with lawns and fruit trees. I enjoy my trips to the Ty Mad and I strive to provide a great holiday experience for my guests.

Why they chose this property

Ty Mad is located in the pretty countryside of northern Brittany and is within easy access of a number of places. The lakeside town of Jugon-les-lacs is just 5 miles away. It has a heated open air swimming pool and you can go boating on the lake, there is also a selection of good restaurants. The medieval town of Dinan is just under 30 minutes drive, you can look around the many shops or take a boat ride along the river. I like to go on Thursday mornings to the market for the fresh local produce and then have lunch at the artisan creperie. The emerald coast is only 35 minutes drive, there are seven different beaches and you can chose to go to one of the more secluded beaches or you can go to one of the established resorts and take part in activities such as diving or beach volley ball.

What makes this property unique

The cottage stands in half an acre of garden which has the advantage of being centrally located in a village with all the amenities and being secluded as it is hidden from view by a high wall and gate on the road side. This makes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday with the convenience of the local shops and bars. The village bakery is just round the corner from the cottage and I like to go there in the morning for freshly baked bread and croissants. The central location of Ty Mad also makes it a great place from which to experience French life and culture. There are a number of holiday homes in the village but Plenee-Jugon is still a working French village and there are a number of events which take place throughout the year in Plenee-Jugon and surrounding villages such as musical evenings and cycle races.
