Le Tronchet holiday apartment: 35540 Le Tronchet

A great location to get away from it all, in very relaxing setting in the midst of a golf course. Located only a short distance outside of St Malo, makes it an easy place to get to and an ideal base to explore Brittany. The apartment was very comfortable with all the home comforts. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life in the UK and an excellent venue to anyone considering a golf break. (St Malo Golf Club is exceptional) Thanks to Peter and Rita for looking after us and being a great help us during stay in France.

Lovely property in a very rural setting. Wonderful spot for keen golfers as the house sits between two of the greens.  Since the sleeping arrangements in total consists of three bedrooms each equipped with large and extremely comfortable beds plus two folding single beds the property would probably create difficulties and arguments among any  eight strong group regardless of how it was made up.Cooking and catering arrangements are adequate but only one lavatory and one bathroom being available in the main appartment is not altogether satisfactory. The seperate studio appartment would be fine for a young couple but the stairs would make life difficult for anyone not altogether agile - the bed being upstairsand the lavatory downstairs. Unfortunately the weather was dull for most of our stay and included a fair number of damp, cool or rainy days which limited our use of the excellent pool. The make up of our group also tested the laundry and drying facilities to their limits: a tumble dryer would have been a welcome addition to the washing machine.   The village of Le Tronchet has very little to offer in the way of entertainment or shopping being confined to one small shop and one very gloomy bar; but if you like golf that would not be a drawback. The nearest village with a super market - Plerguer, is only about four kilometeres away but does not seem to possess any eating places much above the level of pizza bars. Having said that the area is rich in small attractive towns that can be reached within a short drive of twenty  kilometres or so where some good small restaurants can be found. The nearest town of any size is St. Malo which is well worth a visit especially for those who do not mind walking in very congested streets, for the old walled town is crammed with tourists. The walk around the walls is not as daunting as it first appears being all on one level once you have managed to get up there.The sea front at Dinard offers a tremendous array of cafes and restaurants all serving sea food - great if you like oysters; but again, lots of tourists. At a slightly longer distance Fougeres is well worth a visit, the main fetures being the moated chateau and the medieval town. 

Excellent clean and spacious apartment in a quiet rural french location. All the facilities you would need and more
Very friendly, polite and discrete UK owners live downstairs.
Although set in a quiet location, there is not much within walking distance (except country walks and golf). All restaurants & shops must be driven to. Plenty to do in the local area - good beaches - interesting towns but take a good map or sat Nav - the road directions are poor.
