Manoir de Kergrec'h

Located near hiking trails, the accommodation provides a farm-style breakfast with homemade products. Guests appreciate the warm hosts and spacious, comfortable rooms, including those with terraces.

It’s fun to stay in a centuries-old “castle” like this Manoir, especially when it’s been so beautifully restored by the lovely owners, who are there and ready to help you with everything. Taking the wide stone steps up the tower to the second floor of rooms made me feel like Sleeping Beauty rushing up the castle steps (tho only to prick her finger on that darned spinning wheel). In early May, the bright white calla lilies and purple irises lining the entrance were stunning. This was our first trip to Brittany, and we stayed here three nights, using it as a base to explore the Pink Granite Coast. We ended up not exploring the area right around the Manoir as much as might have been warranted because we were heading off east or west each day. (In retrospect, it might have been wiser for us to spend the first night in Perros-Guirec and then go the Manoir). We did walk down the hill to the sea the afternoon we arrived, and saw that the famous GR 34 walking trail runs right along the coast there. Earlier that afternoon we had explored a few beautiful coves within a few miles of the Manoir (where I picked up some scallop shells, which I saw nowhere else). We also saw fields of artichokes, which I had never seen growing. The next morning on our way to explore west, we drove up to Pointe du Chateau and hiked the short way to some stunning rocky views — definitely recommend. Our room was on the second floor (2 flights of stairs) and was quite spacious and casual (tho some of the chair coverings and pillows were gorgeous) with a comfy big bed and a day bed. A glassed-in shower was tucked into a corner. We appreciated the local caramels in our candy dish every day! The room looked onto the front of the Manoir where cars would pull in. Other rooms might have more interesting views (garden or sea?). There’s also a helipad. One group of six guests had arrived in two helicopters, which were parked on the lawn. Our hostess persevered on a Monday night to find an open restaurant for us and some other guests, as some places were keeping irregular hours so early in the season. The next two nights we had dinner in the places we explored during the day before coming back to the Manoir. Our hostess also recommended visiting the Beaufort Abbey to the east, which was well worth it. The big white-tablecloth breakfast room is beautifully decorated and adorned with gorgeous fresh flowers. Tho breakfast is an extra 18 euros, it is extensive and you’ll definitely skip lunch! Our hostess made crepes every morning as well as a delicious fruit clafouti. She brings around a cart full of cheeses and meats and you can have whatever you want. Camembert for breakfast!
