Estival was opened in September of 1999 by Malcolm and Tina Kinzett after five seasons running a small camping, Gîtes and B&B establishment in the Dordogne. As experienced and expert hosts, we offer a warm and friendly welcome to you.

Estival is the ideal place to stay for those wanting a break from all the housework and needing some time away from slaving over a hot stove.

These fine Breton stone guesthouse and Cottages are located in beautiful countryside. We boast six comfortable rooms with excellent facilities in the guest house, a superb restaurant.

It is an ideal stopover point en route from St Malo but also the perfect base from which to visit the beautiful and historic region of Brittany.

The House is a fine Breton stone house located in beautiful countryside. It has large lawns and plenty of space for parking, comfortable beds, clean and airy rooms, and a restaurant with excellent menus open to residents only. .

The accommodation has six bright, airy and very comfortable guest rooms, all with private bathroom facilities, all with well sprung beds to ensure you have a good night's sleep. Continental breakfast is included.

Evening Meals cost 18 Euros for a four-course meal and there is a children's menu for under-12s at 7 Euros.

About the area

The area around Estival is as rich and diverse as one could wish for. The region is steeped in history ranging from the famous Mont St Michel to the wonderful medieval town of Dinan, commonly know as the "Jewel" in Brittany's crown

If the sea is what you enjoy - and who doesn't enjoy a break at the seaside - then you will not be disappointed. This area is crammed full of magnificent beaches - St Cast le Guildo, St Lunaire, Dinard and St Malo to name just a few. There are literally miles and miles of glorious beaches, others have rock pools where you can enjoy looking for sea life as well enjoying a well earned rest on the golden sands.

If the countryside is more to your liking then you will not be disappointed either. There are absolutely miles of walks, some of which pass through the many forests that we have here in our part of Brittany. We even have a forest that is said to have once been King Arthur's!

The little historical towns that are scattered all over our area make for great days out. We have a town nearby which is famous for its book shops, another that is getting more popular each year for the artists who live there. Each town prides itself on its ancient church and history, they are waiting there for you to discover them yourself.
