Le Lodge Kerisper ★★★★

Explore the wild coast of Brittany and feed your soul on fantastic French food, culture, and architecture. Wander the cobbled streets of its villages, decorated with colourful shutters and flowerpots. Sample the local cuisine with its rich flavours and artisan cheeses. Then discover the region’s history including the magnificent Suscinio Castle and the famous Saint-Malo fortified peninsula, once referred to as ‘pirate city.’

Le Lodge Kerisper encapsulates the region with its welcoming family atmosphere, wild gardens, and old French charm. Dating back to the 1800s, the historic building has been transformed into a boutique hotel with a luxurious four-star design.

Its spacious rooms are bright and comfortable, each with a terrace and a sitting area with views of the garden. The cosy lounge bar emits a homely ambiance with a bar, a fireplace and authentic bistro furnishings from the 1920s to 50s. There is also a spa offering relaxing massages and treatments.

Excellent breakfasts are served at the hotel’s dedicated breakfast room, while there are also plenty of delicious snacks including charcuterie, cheese platters and fruit salad.

The hotel ’s heated swimming pool is a hidden gem in the middle of the garden, surrounded by trees and flowers. During the holiday season from April to October, it is heated to 28C and open from 8am to 8pm. There is also an elegant outdoor terrace and a sitting area with views of the garden.

When you are not taking advantage of the hotel facilities, stroll down to the harbour. There are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants to explore nearby for those who prefer a change of scene for the evening. While the nearby Gulf of Morbihan and Quiberon offers a fabulous wild coast with stunning coves and beaches. A former 19th century farmhouse transformed into a boutique hotel, the Lodge Kerisper offers 20 rooms and suites entirely decorated in the “Family House” spirit.
