About this property
Chateau Lignol is a 14th century hunting lodge - a miniature castle in the middle of the Brittany countryside.
A slice of French charm without overwhelming acreage, Chateau Lignol is tucked away behind Breton farmland. A long track opens up onto a vista of the famous tower which can be glimpsed through the trees. A stay at Chateau Lignol is the perfect opportunity to explore and immerse yourself in the peaceful and beautiful local area. Surrounded by farmland, this is truly rural France at its best.
Built in 1251, it was used as a hunting lodge for the Princes of Rohan from 1384 when they wanted a bolthole from the hustle of nearby Guémené sur Scorff. It is five minutes by road to a compact busy village that boasts three boulangeries, a cinema and a weekly market, as well as an active cultural life.
The chateau is a reflection of the owner's eclectic and antique style. The airy spaces of the salons and the kitchen show off the candles, fabrics and salvaged stage pieces that shine in the restored rooms.
Good news! For a little extra, this property can be booked as a Vill’otel

The Chateau is atmospheric, eccentric, and even larger than we expected from the photos. We had no trouble finding it, and the host gave us a warm welcome. I loved the multitude of vintage chandeliers, the many big bathtubs and the sense of slightly ramshackle elegance. Our party of 6 really enjoyed our Christmas stay. There was lots of rain and some howling wind, but we were cosy by the fire with games, puzzles and books – and we dipped into the house’s huge collection of DVDs. We also enjoyed the large and well-equipped kitchen, with some delicious meals provided by Kes from EntreCopains Lignol. The spacious venue was perfect for our gloriously slothful family time together. We also took a few walks and explored the nearby village during some brief patches of sunshine – all very low-key and relaxing. (The rooms away from the fire were a wee bit chilly in the wet weather, so a few extra space heaters would not go amiss.)
