The Snout of the Waves

Hello Wouafer's.

Northern Brittany and its magnificent and captivating landscapes tempt you?

Le Groin des Ondes, 3* tourist accommodation, welcomes you as a couple, with family or friends but always with your four-legged friends.

Located in Saint Méloir des Ondes, a town bordering Saint Malo and Cancale, in Ille-et-Vilaine, your hairballs are welcomed with real pleasure and at no extra charge. We accept small, medium, large, categorized…so well educated masters.

A bowl of fresh water will be waiting for them when they get out of the car, but before that, you'll have to go through the “hugs” box with Laurence!

The number accepted depends on the number of humans and the breed of hairballs because we do not welcome 5 Chihuahuas as we welcome 5 Leonbergers...

Everyone has to find their place… So remember to specify the number of people, the number and the breed of your dogs when you make an inquiry or a reservation request.

The garden is perfectly enclosed at 1.50 m with rigid mesh. It has been tested from Chihuahuas to Newfoundlands via Huskies… even if we know very well that when a Husky wants to escape, it's not a fence that stops it!

The refrigerator has a 60 liter freezer section for BARF-fed dogs.

On the other hand, for the “reactive” dogs, we prefer to specify that we have ourselves a dog, a male Eurasier, which is called Print Karbon'. He's super cool but he'll be on the other side of the gate. If the agreement is cordial, he can even invite his new friends to come and play with him in his garden...

For the walk around the house, there are the fields (but collection of droppings obligatory!)

For walks on the beach, we offer:

○ the Bay of Mont Saint Michel 2 km away (dogs allowed without restriction)

○ the 5 white sand beaches of St Coulomb at 5 km (restriction from June 15 to September 15 from 10 a.m. to 20 p.m.)

It must be admitted that Saint Malo is not a very dog-friendly city (just like the bourgeois Dinard where dogs are refused on its famous market) but it is up to you to change the mentality of the “Malouins sores”.

Never leave without your poop bags and never forget to pick up. If there will always be someone to complain when you meet on the ramparts of Saint Malo accompanied by your 4-legged friend (at the base forbidden to dogs), your hairballs will always be welcomed in the majority of restaurants.

For small and big sores, we have

s the super veterinary clinic of Brocéliande 10 minutes away and whose contact details you will find in the welcome booklet.

Your dog can be left alone in the rental in your absence.

Otherwise, the pension of La Salmonais (Saint Méloir des Ondes) has a few “day” places depending on the season.

Located between Cancale and Saint Malo, quiet and in the countryside, you are ideally located to discover all the riches of the Emerald Coast and the Bay of Mont Saint Michel.

Le Groin des Ondes is a recent house of 80 m² that can accommodate up to 5 people with an enclosed plot of 100 m² including:
