The house can accommodate up to 12 people, you will note that there are 5 double bedrooms.
I prefer to talk to future tenants, who can also ask their questions, which is why I don't opt for automatic booking.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We had an amazing stay - it was perfect to celebrate a family birthday together. Sophie was very helpful during the booking process, and very accommodating with our different arrival times. The house itself was gorgeous! It is so beautifully renovated and full of character. You can see how much time and effort has been put into restoring it, and much more special than any commercial holiday home. We particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beautiful garden, even into October, but the highlight of our stay was sitting in front of the enormous fire. We could not recommend enough.

This is a unique and wonderful ancient manor house set in the countryside of Brittany. Sophie, the host is kind, responsive and thoughtful. The experience staying there is transformational, inviting you to enjoy a mystical part of France and feel a connection with it's past. We had a great time.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à la Motte. La maison est très spacieuse, et très joliment décorée. Elle est confortable et très bien équipée. L'accueil est très attentionné. La propriétaire fait le maximum possible pour bien préparer l'arrivée, et sa voisine qui gère l'accueil est très souple sur la procédure d'arrivée et de départ, ce qui a été précieux pour nous, car nous venions un week-end de pont, et qu'il y a eu beaucoup de bouchons sur la route depuis Paris. La région regorge de choses à faire et à voir. La situation de la maison nécessite d'être motorisée. En outre, séjourner dans la maison vous permettra de participer de façon très agréable à la préservation du patrimoine, et de découvrir l'histoire des lieux, très bien documentée dans la maison par la propriétaire.

The house is amazing - so old and so unique. It is like living in a museum. Beware of low ceilings but totally worth it. The owner is extremely helpful and hospitable. House is equipped with everything you need and more.
