The Gardens

The beautifully landscaped gardens were laid out over twenty years ago, transforming the rambling lawns, Poplar woods and old vegetable garden into a truly magical place of discovery and beauty.  The garden was inspired by the English country garden, but with a Mediterranean influence, which exploits the warm air and glorious sunshine and blends harmoniously with the surrounding Breton countryside. Paths lead you through the gardens which feature gently flowing streams, a Clematis walk, classic English gardens with herbaceous borders, Mediterranean and aromatic gardens, a tranquil lake with Asian island, a wildflower meadow and woodland. There is also an Italian terrace overlooking the gardens, with garden furniture and fabulous views. The gardens are gated and fenced near to the roads, and the gardens are open to visitors at the weekend. Activities include:  Boules on the terrace, croquet on the lawn, badminton, and also fishing and boating on the lake. There are also opportunities for clay pigeon shooting and barbeque equipment is available upon request.
