Leave ReviewAbsolutely beautiful cottage
By Andrew N on 20-Oct-2025We loved every moment of our stay at La Ville Thomas. The cottage was very comfortable and cosy; it had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the decorative touches in each room and although the weather was very autumnal during our stay, the outdoor spaces were equally well considered. The location is great for exploring the fabulous towns of Dinan, Dinard and St Malo. There are fantastic beaches nearby and Mont St Michel is just an hour’s drive from the cottage. A wonderful autumn break for three generations of our family.
An outstanding place to stay!
By Michelle on 21-Jun-2025Le Ville Thomas (LVT) was absolutely immaculate, both inside and out. With a nautical theme throughout and many thoughtful touches, LVT was extremely well appointed and we managed to cook meals in the well equipped kitchen. The outdoor area is well set up for dining al fresco and lounging in the sun with a book. LVT is conveniently located not far from the coast, with it's abundance of beaches (if that's your sort of thing), and interesting towns such as St Malo, Dinan and Dinard. There was far more to see than we could fit in 7 days. Overall, I would highly recommend this gite to couples, families and, with its fantastic enclosed garden, dog owners.
Visit number six and La Ville Thomas never let us down!
By Emma & Alec Dunn on 03-Aug-2024Visit number six and La Ville Thomas never let us down. We love the new flooring and feel very tempted by a winter visit so we can use the new pellet stove. The weather picked up second week and our old Puggle Steve enjoyed the garden breeze. Our new puppy Lola has been so busy exploring and taking in all the new sights. Some new places visited this time, always plenty to do but also a place, to unwind. Thanks Judith, a fantastic welcome and stay.. See you next year Emma and Alec.
A fantastic couple of weeks at the wonderfully comfortable Ville Thomas.
By Simonne & Graham Pidgeon on 20-Aug-2022A fantastic couple of weeks at the wonderfully comfortable Ville Thomas. We enjoyed a few gorgeous days, swimming and building Sandcastles at family friendly Saint Lunaire.. Dinan was particularly pretty and memorable with a fun boat ride on the river. Although busy, the Le Mont Saint -Michelle was worth a visit and the castle at Fougéres was impressive. La Ville Thomas was perfect for our three children. Thanks so much Judith for providing them with bikes. We love the tranquil setting with its beautiful views, occasional deer and wandering chickens . Thanks so much. The pigeon family.
