What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin

Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In Pléhédel within the Boisgelin estate, surrounded by ninety hectares of parkland and forest.
The rooms
Rooms look out over the courtyard or the golf course, furnished in quiet tones with historic moldings and woodwork.
Restaurant Mathieu Kergourlay
Chef Mathieu Kergourlay cooks seasonal Breton seafood and local produce across menus that are entirely gluten- and lactose-free.
At the table
