About this property

For an unforgettable family holiday or fairytale wedding, book Château Du Chevalier, a magnificent 15th century castle in Brittany.

Beautifully located on a ridge overlooking a charming pastoral landscape, the estate comprises a stunning main château (sleeping up to 15 guests) and three annexe buildings dating back to the 19th century and fully restored in 2000 (which are able to sleep a further 20 guests).

The 54 acres of grounds with spectacular views include three ponds, a heated outdoor swimming pool and a charming chapel. Enjoy outdoor pursuits like fishing and hunting, schedule a wine tasting, play table football in the games room and explore the region’s historical sites.

The château's dining room features an original fireplace, and the drawing rooms, lounges, library and bedrooms have wooden panelling and paintings from 18th century.

The Big Maison (8 guests) sits just 100m from the château and has direct access to the pool and the kitchen garden. The Little Maison (4 guests) enjoys a superb view over the old castle park and the chapel and is just 25m from the pool. With two and  four welcoming bedrooms respectively, both houses are particularly recommended for couples or families.

All buildings have high ceilings, massive oak beams, original fireplaces, grand windows, inspiring country-style kitchens, extravagant drawing rooms and beautiful bathrooms creating a superb living environment.

Furthermore, they all have easy access to the swimming pool and their own outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy relaxing evenings with enchanting views overlooking the park and valley.

Drive to the village of Combourg (4km) to see an impressive castle and town centre. You’re also 30 km from Rennes’ cultural sites or Dinard’s beaches. History buffs will want to visit the D-day beaches (150km), and golfers can choose from 10 nearby courses, some just 15 minutes away.

Château Duval is 45 km from the Saint Malo port.

Not only is Brittany wonderful in the summer, it is also a great destination in spring when flowers are in full bloom. Likewise, autumn is the perfect season to gather around the fireplace and spend cosy afternoons in, not to mention December, which will take your breath away as the characteristic French morning mist settles like a lake in the valley, creating a spectacular scenery.

Please note that whilst the main château can be rented independently (15 guests rates), the annexe buildings are only available as an addition to the main castle (35 guests rate). When only the main château is booked, the annexes may be rented separately to other guests who share the estate and swimming pool with château guests. However, the 35-person rate guarantees exclusivity of the pool and grounds.

Château Du Chevalier is a short drive to the village of Combourg (4 km), which has an impressive castle and town centre. You’re also only 30 km from the cultural sites of Rennes or Dinard’s beaches. History buffs will want to visit the D-day beaches (150 km). With 10 golf courses nearby (the closest just 15 minutes away), you can work on your swing.

Château Du Chevalier is 45 km from the port of Saint Malo. 45km from the Rennes Airport and 45 km from Dinard Airport

The nearest port is St Malo with its characteristic town wall. All the ferries that go to the Channel Islands leave from here. Nearby lies the coastal town of Cancale, where shellfish connoisseurs meet from all over the world, to visit the oyster farms and savour the fruits of the sea at one of the picturesque restaurants.

Other sights worth seeing include the abbey and former pirate nest Mont St Michel, as well as the villages of Vitre and Dinan - with their ancient city centres dating from the 12th century. In addition to good food, fascinating culture and beautiful beaches, there are seven different golf courses nearby. Some of these courses are placed around fantastic castles while others like Golf de Dinard is a seaside/links course with breathtaking view over the sea.

    We have just returned from our wedding which we held at Chateau Duval. I am struggling to find words to describe how beautiful it was, the Chateau and grounds are best described as something from a movie and the owners Marie & Roland could not do enough to ensure our day and entire stay was as smooth and memorable as possible. It was a special day and a memory that will stay with us forever.

    The days we spent at your castle will remain in our memories for ever. We are the parents of the groom Brn Lindell, and I, as his mother, would like to show my gratitude to you. From the first moment we felt right at home at your castle and we experienced a wonderful week in France.

    Just want to thank you for the incredible vacation we had at the castle down in France last week. Words can't describe how delightfully beautiful it was. Nice atmosphere and great people. All our guest thought it was their best vacation ever and, that said, most of them have traveled all over the world. The wedding worked perfectly, and everyone involved were just great. The chef's food was heavenly. Gwen sang wonderfully and his dj music was awesome. Everything was just perfect.
