Chateau De Lothea - Five Bedroom Castle, Sleeps 10 | Other in Quimperlé

Close to many glorious beaches of Brittany and a short drive from the charming town of Quimperlé, Château deLothéaoffers the opportunity to stay in a beautifully renovated wing of a Breton manoir surrounded by acres of ancient woodland.
it’s thought that the château dates as far back as the 15th century, possibly earlier, when its original creation was most likely for defensive reasons The grounds’ pigeonnier and farmhouse were added around a century later – both have recently been rescued from disrepair. The estate has belonged to the current owners’ family for over three hundred years and, despite additions over the years, little has changed since the 19th century.
that is except the most recent renovation of the west-wing of the château which has been wonderfully restored to feature five pretty bedrooms, including an original medieval double, reached via the main spiral staircase, boasting a grand four-poster bed Downstairs, the medieval entrance hall is stunning with original stone walls and flooring. Old meets new in the traditional kitchen-diner with its characterful table and chairs placed near the open fireplace alongside an elegantly fitted kitchen. The salon has beautiful views out to the garden whilst the cosy TV lounge adds yet more charm to this welcoming home.
surrounding the château find large lawns, space to play croquet, century-old trees and a table for al-fresco dining with the most picturesque of outlooks over the flower-decked dovecote and mature gardens
just a 5-minute drive away is the historic breton town of quimperlé with medieval lanes, an atmospheric weekly market, plenty of shops and restaurants and a picture-perfect ancient bridge covered in summer flowers There’s canoeing, kayaking and horse-riding very close by as well as magnificent hikes with the GR34 passing nearby.
brittany’s beaches are also within easy reach – there’s family-friendly shores just over a 10-minute drive away as well as surfing and paddle-boarding or discover snorkelling and sailing a little further around larmor plage Look out for the catch of the day in Doëlan, admire the ancient standing stones of Carnac, then stop off for lunch with chilled white wine and oysters looking over the mesmerising Gulf of Morbihan.
