Manoir de Kerhuel de Quimper

This castle is perfectly located to commute around this south area of Bretagne. The whole experience gives you the feeling of being an elevated guest full of appreciation. Very special and unique.

Don’t think you’ll get the room you paid for here Booked a Cottage, on arrival told we had booked a room. We took out phone to check and on seeing that, the receptionist said, oh, sorry, yes you booked a cottage but we ‘upgraded you to a superior room’. Some other waffle about the room being better and more expensive than the cottage. Bottom line, the hotel made a unilateral decision to not give us the room we had booked and paid for. The Superior room was not more expensive than the cottage we had actually booked (on checking on their website). Their ‘fine dining’ restaurant has zero flexibility for dietary requirements. Every person at a table must choose the same menu from their choice of 3… 59, 49 or 39 euro. No A La Carte possibility. You get what you get. The ‘Superior room, was ordinary, simple and plain. We’ve had better and bigger in many hotels that were not ‘Manoirs’.

The staff is super friendly, kind and generous. The location is ideal for people looking for a calm, relaxed stay away from the city noise. Think about reserving a spot for dinner at the hotel restaurant, there aren’t any around the area.

I stayed at Manoir de Kerhuel for a few days to attend my friend’s wedding. I really loved the place, it’s beautiful and unique. The food was delicious and the service was great. The staff were very friendly and made sure all our requests were met quickly.

So, how you view this is up to you. We were making a stop on the way back to Roscoff. We couldn’t check in until 5pm due to a wedding. That was up front not a surprise & not a really big deal. Restaurant was closed, also stated (either on a “we’ve been busy with a wedding” basis or “this is France, get over it” basis). OK no big deal. Thus no bar either. It’s not exactly convenient for other choices of activity. However, this is not a cheap hotel c€140 for the night and so, as it had very few guests, personally i’d have thought of upgrading the ones they had to make up for the above. Our room was in the attic basically. The windows required you to step up 2 steps to be able to get on tiptoes to look out. It was pretty small. The bed was comfortable and the shower was also really good, with quality products. We used the pool and sauna, albeit a little later than we’d have normally planned, and both were good. We didn’t pay extra and have breakfast and so can’t comment on restaurant. The building is beautiful as are the gardens. A beautiful setting for the wedding. Access is by code entry after 9pm as reception closes at that time - unusual for a hotel in this category but not a big issue. Beautiful, comfortable but limited would be my overall comment
