Lozzi23 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi, does anyone know of a website that contains a list of english b & b owners around Dinard please??Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 We are 20 mins away from Dinard but I am wondering why you want a list ?Part of me says, possibly a good idea and the other half says why is it needed ?And no, I don't know of any guide books as such but a look throughcertain guide books will show obvious British names for some places.Google B&B's in Dinard area and I am sure it ought to be fairlysimple to sort out which ones are British run.

Lozzi23 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi, just asked for a list as I wasnt sure if B & B owners were allowed to give their own details out or not, we want to stop with English people as we are looking for a property and we could maybe sit down and chat with them, think we have now found one, just waiting for an email back. Thanks all x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levelstep Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Perhaps you mean English speaking rather than English? I know a number of Welsh here in Brittany, and despite that handicap they are able to speak passable English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Don't worry Miki - I think Lozzi's just looking to buy a house, not a B&B, and wants to pick a Brit's brains about the area. [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 We had a couple stay with us a while back one of whom (male) said 'You know, I could see us doing this". The other half (female) had an immediate look of horror. I thought the latter was a very appropriate reaction. I just laughed at the idea that there are more people as dumb as us.
