We will be delighted to share our beautiful home and gardens with you and wish you “Bonnes Vacances” in this lovely part of Brittany.

We are delighted to offer all our cottage guests who return to le Manoir de Mongrenier, a discount of 10% off the cost of their second and subsequent holidays with us. And, of course, there will always be a bottle of wine waiting for you on the table, to start your holiday off in the right spirit!

Spring starts early at Mongrenier – this year, the first daffodil opened its golden yellow trumpet on 29th January, a good five days earlier than last year! Under the winter-bare branches of the ancient oaks, the white snow drops and crocuses have kept our spirits up but with the first daff, we know that Spring is upon us and the grounds of Mongrenier will turn yellow. We have planted more than 3,000 daffodil bulbs of various kinds and they are truly magnificent. Yellow is the colour of spring at Mongrenier with the waving mimosa trees, the tiny celandines, the hedges of golden forsythia and, of course, the first of our sixteen or seventeen species of butterflies – the brilliant yellow Brimstone with its distinctive, almost square wing-form. And this is also the signal for us to spring clean the cottages, ready for our first golfing guests.

We are fortunate at Mongrenier to have a number of very different and exciting courses within an hours drive, including the beautiful Ploermel “Hydrangea Course”. There are more than 100 species planted around the course which snuggles beside the largest natural lake in Brittany. The coastal courses are also magnificent but our favourite is one of a number of courses built round ancient chateaux. And in the Spring and Autumn, the courses are not expensive and are rarely crowded.

Perhaps it is the magnificent autumn colours of the thousands of oaks and chestnuts that garland many of the golf courses that makes the autumnal season also very attractive. Of course, as the leaves begin to fall, so a wayward ball becomes the harder to find but this is a small penalty for enjoying this very special Breton experience. At Mongrenier, we welcome golfing parties of up to four couples, wining and dining in our magnificent salle des fêtes and sleeping in our chambres d’hôtes and the Old Coach-house.

Let us help you to create a very special golfing holiday in the Spring or Autumn tailored to your golfing and gastronomic dreams, with our special off season rates! Call us to discuss the various opportunities that exist to enjoy your golf near Mongrenier.

In 2007, we finished the conversion of our new Salle des Fêtes, in the old longère, which is now available for hire (PoA) for parties of all sorts! We are able to cater for up to 16 seated guests for luncheons and dinners, small conferences and meetings and the room (96 square metres) may be rearranged to comfortably seat up to 30 delegates for presentations, etc. If we can’t offer sufficient sleeping accommodation for your party at Mongrenier, then we "overflow" to the beautiful Chateau Hotel (www.hotel-chateau.com) in Josselin with to-and-fro transport arranged. The Salle des Fêtes is not available for hire when we have guests in our cottages.

Let us assist you with planning a different family or business event at le Manoir de Mongrenier!

We completed the installation of our sauna in spring 2008 and it is now available for our guests. The sauna is in the downstairs cloakroom of the Manoir and has its own entrance from the courtyard. The cloakroom has been designed as a changing room (unisex) and has a toilet and a shower. Sessions are limited to three persons and there is a charge of 10€ per session (1 hour). Children under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult. A great way to relax after a game of golf or a good long walk or an energetic cycle ride!

For the last eight years, Mongrenier has played host to a number of musical events each year, including the highly successful son et lumière – “Jeanne et ses Chevaliers” in 2008, when more than 2,500 visitors enjoyed this magnificent spectacle.

This year is no exception and, once again, Mongrenier will be presenting three very different soirées at the Manoir, as follows:

	13 February		Apéro Concert “Liaisons Insolites” A musical comedy of love, passion and sorcery.
	4 June		Concert de Guitare Classique performed by M. Lafarge, Philippe (de Paris).
	23 July		Soirée Médiévale a riotous evening of music, knights, troubadours accompanied by a medieval menu, hippocras and wine!

Our musical evenings are informal and open to all but the Soirée Médiévale will be by reservation only: 19€ per person.

We are planning to sell le Manoir de Mongrenier sometime over the next three years, as we are rapidly approaching our “troisième âge”!

However, we are still very much in business and will remain so, until the Manoir is sold. We are not doing any advertising, except in Gîtes de France for our B+B business, preferring to limit our commitments to those of the 200+ families who have stayed with us over the last 12 years and wish to return and to active searchers on the web, who find us there.

Rest assured that Mongrenier will always offer the top class hospitality and accommodation that you would expect, because apart from not wishing to disappoint our guests, we would wish to sell the Manoir in perfect condition.
