The Experience

Sociable souls will be happy here with table d’hôte dinners (off season) and twice weekly barbecue soirées in the summer where all the guests mingle and chat. Breakfast is served in a big salon with a fireplace for chillier days: apple juice from the orchard, jams from nearby Quiberon, charcuterie, locally-baked breads and patisserie, homemade lemon cake and English scones. On rainy days you can play board games, table tennis or piano, choose a book from the library, laze in the pool and sauna.

The house is surrounded by 6 hectares of fields and forest for cycling (there are bikes to borrow) or lovely walks – the only sound will be the odd tractor and a lot of birdsong. The brave can canoe in the moat or bring a rod and try for carp. A boules pit is fun in the cool of the evening with a sundowner.

Large, west-facing bedrooms on the first floor have views over an orchard, sturdy beds with good linen and magic-mirror TVs.

Reviews

Bernard and Frédérique adore their gorgeous manor house and we loved it too. As well as their friendly welcome you get barbecue nights, a well-stocked moat for fishing, five centuries of history, acres of space and four beautifully restored chambre d'hôte rooms.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Manoir du Guern, our hosts were charmimg and really helpful organizing wonderful restaurants for our dinners. The breakfasts were amazing and set us up for the day. The decor and arrangements in the manoir were of the highest order and it was a total joy to stay there. Peter Scholfield

The owners do so much to make the place very pleasant and relaxing, they've done a great job... Far away from the hustle and bustle...


Susanne & Stefan, Bonn (Gernany)

A fantastic experience🤩. The Manoir is beautiful, tastefully restored and furnished. An ideal place in the middle of nature with lots of peace and quiet to relax. Breakfast and dinner very varied, with products from the region, simply delicious! Bernard and Frédérique are very friendly, attentive hosts. We received lots of tips for excursions, activities and restaurants in the area. Not run-of-the-mill, but individually tailored to us. Absolute recommendation. Thank you😊!!!


Gerald, Cornwall

We spent 5 nights at the Manoir in a Chambres d’hotes room. A short distance from Pluvigner and an excellent base for us to explore the region as far as Josselin to the east and Port Louis to the west. Bernard and Frederique are delightful hosts and made us very welcome. They were most careful about our dietary needs and willingly provided a light supper every evening on request, making a special effort on our last night. Both speak excellent English and gave us helpful ideas about places to visit. The swimming pool and sauna were perfect for relaxing after a long day sightseeing.


Location

The neighbourhood

Seemingly remote, it's less than a mile from the busy little village of Pluvigner for a bakery, bar, church and shops. There are good restaurants in the port of Auray, 20 minutes in the car. It's a picture-perfect town with lots of shops, timber houses in the old part and a stunning bridge. Other Morbihan towns and villages like Vannes, Josselin, Carnac and Quiberon are all within an hour's drive.

Introducing

Bernard Baudoin

Bernard and Frédérique live in another part of the house but will meet and greet you, serve your breakfast, cook supper when they're doing it (their speciality is the locally-reared lamb) and look after you brilliantly. They bought the Manoir in 2017 and spent three years restoring it, hoping to bring the house back to all its grandeur without losing its authenticity. It's a triumph.
