Château de La Ballue - Teritoria

We stayed here as a family after staying at a busy campsite days before . It was a haven of tranquility , yes restaurants are a bit of a drive away 20-30mins but it didn’t matter . The breakfast was the best we had on our trip . The gardens and tea room were a lovely sight to see and experience . The chochlate cake in the tea room was delicious !! Family run we really loved our stay here we had the pool to ourselves and hot tub and sauna in nature was lovely too . It’s rustic but elegant we would happily stay again

There are almost no words to describe how wonderful this is. Beautiful, obviously, but also entirely and exceptionally maintained and loved, the chateau (castle), gardens, grounds, everything. It feels like a home, and is. We were warmly greeted by Marie-Francoise and her sons, Theo and Alexandre, and their delightful Chesapeake Bay retrievers. Anticipation felt a bit intimidating (I've never been the guest of a chateau before), but no pretentions or arrogance here, just genuine love for the place and pleasure in sharing it. We relaxed by the large pool (there was shade, which I appreciated), had cocktails and breakfasts in the chateau parlors, and took morning and evening walks through the fascinating gardens. In June, the sun sets around 10 p.m. My husband, adult daughter, and I stayed in the Suite de France, and it was spacious, with comfy beds and fine linens, two bedrooms, a sitting room, and the beautiful view. The rural landscape is lovely. We explored surrounding villages, and all the restaurants were good. Events are occasionally held on site, and we experienced one. It was well managed, not overwhelming, and we were welcomed to join the festivities. A brief heatwave struck during our stay (temps in the 90s) but it remained remarkably cool inside the chateau's stone walls. We were provided a fan, and with the windows open at night slept well.

I took my fiancee there for her birthday and could not have asked for a better stay! The drive to the Chateau was beautiful and peaceful. Walking into the grounds was breathtaking. Walking around the gardens was stunning. We really enjoyed exploring and learning the history of the place. Marie and her team were incredible! They fed us an awesome brunch. They brought us hot chocolate when we asked. And were super accommodating throughout the entire weekend. My fiancee had the best birthday ever! Marie was super responsive as I planned everything. I could not recommend more highly!

A magical and delightful place to stay and to step back in time to a quieter more peaceful world. Although hidden in the countryside it is very easy to visit all the local towns and the north coast of Brittany however personal transport essential. Bedrooms charming and my sole reservation was the lack of a proper shower in the bathroom. There is no dining room however breakfasts were excellent and plenty of restaurants in local villages. My advice would be to indulge in a spectacular sea food lunch each day in Cancale or Dinard and then have a snack meal in the evening. We will return and that is a better compliment than any written words.

We received a warm welcome on arrival, and given information about local restaurants before being shown to our room. There is also secure parking on the grounds if you are driving. The Chateau is absolutely beautiful especially the gardens which are opened to the public at certain times. It is a great spot from which to explore the towns of Dinan and Cancale and Mont Saint Michel and the Normandy coast. Our room was large and very comfortable, there is no shower as such in the bathroom but a hand held shower tap in the bath. The pool looked so inviting but it was too cold for us when we were there. Breakfast was served in the beautiful dining room which was very good. We stayed here for two nights and would definitely recommend staying here if you are travelling by car. Leave time to explore the manicured grounds, so beautiful.

Beautiful historic castle with great gardens. Great location, close to many tourist spots (St Malo, Cancale, Mont St Michel, etc..) Our room was clean, large and comfortable with minimum appointments (no TV, no fridge, no AC, poor/weak lightning). Great breakfast although a little pricy.
