Le Manoir de la Branche

This was a really delightful, peaceful, unique place to stay. The welcome was warm and personal, I had a large and gracefully furnished room with a very comfortable mattress. It was perfectly quiet so one can sleep well. You are surrounded by trees and there are gorgeous roses at the front of the house. Lastly the breakfast was extraordinarly good - freshest patisserie, fruits and home-made conserves, all served wit great courtesy. Very good.

My husband returned to Manoir de la Branche for a New Year visit, we were their in the early summer 2010. Joel And Rose Marie are welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is spice cakes, breads, rolls, fruits, jams.... coffee/ tea and juice. There are several rooms available each different in decoration. Our room was large and comfortable with a large bathroom with a huge tub which was most welcome after cold day trips. The Manior is located in the beautiful countryside, but close to Mont St Michel and other costal cities. The host are also ready with information on local sites- just tell them your interest ( hiking, history, art) and they will point you in the right direction. We returned to take part in the New Years’ Eve meal celebration... We were served a Wonder meal and enjoyed celebrating with three other couples. I am happy to report that a return visit did not disappoint... and f the opportunity arises we will return.

The Manoir is very centrally located in the heart of Bretagne. Mont Saint-Michel, St. Malo, Dinard as the most known, closeby sites to visit. The house is said to date back to 1050. The owners have restored it beatifully and with respect for the building. The gardens are nicely appointed with abundant flowers. You can see the love that the owners put into it. Once in the room you feel like going back in time, as far as the atmosphere goes. Rooms are well maintained and have their own bathroom. For those who need it: WIFI reception is not the best, as the building has very thick walls. WIFI is available though. The breakfast is served in the central room downstairs. The table is set as if it's Christmas time. Very special experience. The breakfast is typically French/Breton: bread, confiture, butter, fruits, coffee, tea, juice.
