La Lohuas is a farmhouse set in over 4 acres of gardens surrounded by rolling fields and wooded countryside making this the perfect location to start any holiday. Our farmhouse gites, Pomme, Poire and Cerise, are only 5 minutes drive from the medieval town of Dinan, about 25 minutes drive from St Malo and the beaches on the north coast of Brittany. Facilities onsite include a fenced children's play area suitable for all children, with swings, slides, and a trampoline. Also here are lawns for football, croquet, boule and badminton. Away from the children's area, there is a larger secluded and tranquille area with many trees and a pretty stream.
The three gites are amazingly spacious and have been sympathetically modernised to give you practical and beautiful accommodation. The gites are situated in a courtyard around the main house. They are all constructed with traditional Breton stone walls under a slate roof, helping to keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Each gite has their own south-facing terrace with patio furniture and barbeque. Each gite has been extensively refurbished and fitted to a high standard.
The British owners, Ian and Caroline Haycox, live on-site and are always available to help make the most of your stay. They provide local knowledge to help you to find activities suitable to your own interests. Speaking fluent French, they will help you to overcome the language barrier, thus making it easy to experience French and Breton culture first hand.
