We are delighted to invite you to spend a holiday at Mongrenier, for a night – or a week – or more! Let us be your hosts in introducing you to this wonderful region of the Morbihan in Brittany, France.
Le Manoir de Mongrenier, which dates back to before 1248, is situated in the heart of rolling Breton countryside (shops 4km, medieval Josselin 6km). The Manoir offers all-year-round walking, fishing, biking, tennis and golf nearby.
We would be delighted to welcome you to our holiday cottages and our bed and breakfast accommodation in le Manoir de Mongrenier.
Welcome to le Manoir de Mongrenier, a listed Breton manor house, set in peaceful, rolling and wooded countryside. Steeped in history since the 13th century, le Manoir de Mongrenier and its 19th century farmhouse have been beautifully restored by Chris and Carol Sealy.
* The Old Coach-house sleeps 6 + baby, central heating & log burning stove.
* The Little Byre – an idyllic cottage created just for two! Central heating.
* Bed and Breakfast – two spacious double rooms (ensuite bathrooms) and private salon with satellite TV/Video/DVD, accessed from the Manoir courtyard. Antique furniture, original roof timbers and granite walls. Central heating.
Please note that we cannot accept dogs and that smoking is not permitted in the accommodation.
We will be delighted to share our beautiful home and gardens with you and wish you “Bonnes Vacances” in this lovely part of Brittany.
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.
Let us assist you with planning a different family or business event at le Manoir de Mongrenier!
In late July and early August of 2008, we are presenting a magnificent Son et Lumière drama in the grounds of Mongrenier. There will be six performances of this exciting spectacle, open to the public. Please click on "Son et Lumiere" in the index for further information and then book your tickets!
