By Elizabeth M on 16-Aug-2025We had a lovely time at the villa thank you. We thought it might be handy if there were coffee filters already at the house, even just one for the first pot of coffee, and salt and pepper. We enjoyed the big garden and the house. The boys gave the beach 10/10.

By Barry G on 11-Jun-2025We enjoyed our vacation very much. Not the best time of year for the weather, our dates were decided by a birthday event! Villa Armor was just as advertised and we much appreciated how well it was presented. One son was unable to join us due to last-minute work obligations, so our party was only three persons. The location was great and easy to reach in one day driving from Buckinghamshire via Eurotunnel. We tallied our bill with a full refund of security deposit promptly on day of departure and was back in Bucks, early evening same day. We were surprised that there were no UK TV channels as we normally stayed at Gites and owned by Brit’s. No complaint here, but it would have been nice to have a UK channel. The internet was brilliant and real 5G too! Really appreciated that. The gardens (front and back) were remarkable, a bonus, and much appreciated. Also Select Villas website was 100%. My son Daniel is a Web Master by the way! Nice quiet location and walking distance to good quality restaurants. I would just leave one PS regarding the quantity of toilets in Villa Armor. There is one en-suite and one common shared toilet. This was totally sufficient for a family of 3 or 4 like us, so no negative comment here. Given that there could be 7 or 8 adults, I pondered it could be an issue. Again, we were not in the least troubled. We would 100% not hesitate to return to VIlla Armor!

By Sally F on 25-Jun-2022We had a lovely stay. I certainly wish I wasn’t back it’s much nicer there!! It was a well-equipped spacious house in a perfect location for us. We had a very pleasant stay. The town had all the amenities we needed within walking distance. It is well positioned for visiting lots of lovely areas of the Brittany coast. Also, some of the beautiful inland historic towns. Christophe was a pleasure to deal with and ensured everything went smoothly.

By Elizabeth K on 23-Jul-2022We had a lovely stay at Villa Armor thank you. Our hosts were very responsive to any questions we had and replaced a broken toaster very quickly. The house was comfortable and well equipped and the location was excellent. A bit of an uphill walk from the beach but very close to the town centre, bars and restaurants and we appreciated being so close to all the amenities and shops. We were provided with a map of the town and enjoyed exploring the local area. We discovered a little bar and hotel nearby which future guests might like to be made aware of. It meant we could enjoy a drink without having to walk down to town and back up the hill! We would rate the property 5 stars (out of 5).

By Vanessa S on 12-Aug-2023We had a lovely time at Villa Amor – the house was well equipped and a short walk to the beach. The garden was great too so the kids could run around and play games. We loved the area and visited many places and would definitely come back to the area!
