About this property

Large gîte in the heart of the Brocéliande forest, unique pond view

It is on the garden level of the castle
, in the former caretaker's accommodation, that you will stay. You will have access to the entire accommodation on the ground floor during your stay.
The cottage, open all year round, accommodates up to 15 people with its 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare good meals and then gather around the large dining room table or outside if the weather permits.
Equipped for families with children (high chair, cot, baby bath).

It is located on this mythical site of the forest of Paimpont / Brocéliande that is the pond of Pas du Houx, ideal for observing nature and disconnecting from the green.
Come and enjoy this exceptional environment in the heart of the forest. Visit the sites in the surrounding area or a little further afield.
Enjoy your stay with us!

We have designed this cottage so that you can make the most of the exceptional setting of this former caretaker's accommodation of the castle of Brocéliande. The green setting in which it is located guarantees you a total change of scenery and a reconnection with nature. The breathtaking view of the Pas du Houx pond will not leave you indifferent.

The accommodation consists of a large living room (with 2 sofa beds) and a large dining room table, a well-equipped kitchen and four bedrooms: a large master bedroom with electric king size bed; two spacious modular bedrooms with single or double beds according to your requests and a bedroom/rest area closed by curtains which can also accommodate 2 beds.

The castle is located in a 25-hectare park that you can enjoy. It is woods and meadows. You can observe animals and birds in their natural area.

You will be less than 5 minutes by car and about ten minutes by bike from the town of Paimpont.
Explore the surroundings, the mythical places of the Arthurian legend. Let yourself be tempted by the La Gacilly Photo Festival, the pretty village of Rochefort en Terre.
About 1 hour to the south, the Gulf of Morbihan and the city of Vannes are not far away...
And if you extend your stay, a good hour's drive away you can also plan a tour of Saint Malo or even Mont Saint Michel.
The city of Rennes, 40 minutes away, is also worth a visit. In short, if you want to combine an exceptional and exotic setting with tourist visits, our cottage should seduce you.
