One of the great traditions of golf in France, La Bretesche has many, many admirers. Laid out amid a sumptuous 200-hectare park and with its facilities spread between several Breton buildings, there are several sides to the hotel’s character – from the snug bar in the old stables to the fabulous food in the manor (or by the lake in fine weather), and from the walled putting green to the smart pool.

All very nice and with only 32 bedrooms, very exclusive. La Bretesche effortlessly combines warmth with class. There is a cosy spa, indoor and outdoor pool and sauna too. The bedrooms are large and well-dressed and, with all the service and facilities but so few rooms, La Bretesche makes you feel special very quickly. A lovely boutique hotel.
