The house takes its name from the towers of the twelfth century castle next to which it stands. The ruins have been recently restored and you are now free to explore them. The house is in the well preserved,peaceful village of Lehon, which boasts some of the oldest and finest buildings in Dinan including an abbey dating back to the nineth century. Close by is the river Rance with paths leading out to unspoilt countryside. If you cross the ancient bridge and stroll along the river past the lock keepers cottage you arrive at the bustling port of Dinan from where you could take a boat trip or eat in one of many good restaurants. An open air heated pool and tennis courts are both within a short walk of the house.

This is a duplex apartment with two bedrooms, offering stylish and comfortable accommodation for up to 4 people in one double and one twin bedded room. An external granite staircase leads up to the main front door giving access to a very spacious living room with modern kitchen including cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer. There is also a dining area. A wooden staircase leads up to two good sized bedrooms and a shower room with WC. Central heating makes this a good base at any time of year, ideal for getting to know the area, house hunting or just getting away from it all. La Tourelle is a spacious ground floor studio apartment , sleeping 2, with fully equipped kitchen and shower room offering an ideal base for couples visiting the area ,

An open air heated swimming pool can be found a short walk away and is a great place to visit at any time of the year. Dinan is close by , and offers an unspoilt medieval town centre , plenty of reasonably priced restaurants and the opportunity to browse the wares of artisans and artists. Behind the ramparts the old centre of town vibrates with life. The many half timbered dwellings still house merchants, though their trades may have changed. Rue Du Jerzual and Rue Du Petit Fort lead through one of the ancient town gates down to the Port, winding between two perfect rows of restored and traditional houses.

There is a good number of excellent golf courses a short drive away from the house, including Dinard (founded in 1887), St Malo, Pen Guen (St Cast) and Sables D'Or at Cap Frehel. Perhaps the best course is located at Pléneuf Val André, which should be on every golfers 'must play' list. As the language can sometimes be a barrier, we can liaise with the course on your behalf and book tee times for you so your golf is all arranged before you arrive.
