I can
recommend Chateau du Lannuguy to you
as a comfortable and very interesting place to stay near Morlaix
in Brittany. It is a B&B (or as the
French call them Chambres d'Hotes). This
means that you are staying in the owner's house (in a room with a bathroom) and
breakfast is also provided.
In this
case the house was in fact quite a large chateau – and the owners only had 3
rooms that they let out. For most of the
nights we were there we were the only guests.
Our room |
We were in
a room on the second floor (next floor up from ground floor) – the room was a
good size and the bed large and comfortable.
The bathroom worked well and was so cute since it was in one of the
turrets and also had fabulous old fittings.
The bathroom |
We
definitely found that staying in this type of accommodation is quite different
from hotel accommodation. You become
personally engaged with the owners (who were very nice) and they give you
advice as to what to see and do and ask you about your day.
The breakfast room |
Breakfast
was simple but of very high quality.
Great French pastries and breads, home-made jam and good coffee. The breakfast room was very large – you felt
really special eating there.
But that
was quite unimportant with all the great things about the chateau – including the
very reasonable price!
The chateau
has a swimming pool – but we didn't use it.
Our hostess, Josiane, showed us her enormous and fantastic garden
including a large glass house behind an old tennis court.
The chateau
is about 4 kilometers out of Morlaix so a rental car is pretty much essential.
We
discovered Chateau du Lannuguy quite by accident after considering what felt
like hundreds of other places in Brittany, so we were very lucky to have stayed
there.

It seems like a charming place with lots of character, Carole.
