Fantastic hotel/guest house personally operated by the hospitable owners. Maison de la Garenne is centrally located, offers wholesome breakfast, and my lovely room was clean and bright on the 2nd floor. I walked 20 minutes directly from the train station to the hotel and a 5 minute walk into the center of the village. I would be delighted to come back.

Excellent location, walking distance to all of Vannes’ restaurants and attractions. I stayed in the Red Sail Room, which has a private yard area. It’s super Clean, bright, with a huge bathtub and amenities. The breakfast was varied and delicious, and owner Christine was warm and eager to take egg orders. Christine and her husband Antoine were available to provide recommendations of restaurants and help find a gas station or taxi to the train station. I thoroughly enjoyed my weeklong stay and would love to go back.

“Charming B&B in Vannes”

The Maison de la Garenne & Spa is a B&B which offers five guest rooms in a beautiful, very charming, large country house just outside the city walls of Vannes. The location is just perfect: it’s only a five minute walk to the restaurants, shops and yacht harbour. And yet you feel being at the country side. The nice garden with a lovely, refreshing swimming pool is an excellent place to relax after a hot day of sight-seeing. We had the Terre & Mer suite on the first floor. This guest room consisted of a large, cozy bedroom, a handy adjacent room with a coach/bed for an extra person, a small bathroom and a separate toilet room. Breakfast was excellent and you’re well looked after by a very helpful waitress, who can assist you with any additional breakfast request. Christine, who temporarily took over from the owners who were off on a one week vacation, was an excellent host with good advice on restaurants and sightseeing destinations. Make sure you reserve a parking spot for your car as only three spaces are available in front of the house behind the green gate. There’s a public parking (St. Joseph) just behind the wall of the B&B, but it was always fully utilised during the three days we’ve stayed at the B&B. Most parkings close to the city centre seem to be full during the high season. I would have loved to give a five-star review, but the absence of a decent shower in the bathroom was quite a disappointment (not even a shower curtain to keep the bathroom dry). The bathtub is a rather small one too. The absence of airco should normally not represent an issue in Brittany, but I must say that the room becomes quite hot late afternoon on warm summer days. Note however that a fan is at your disposal. This is a bit of a shortfall for a suite, I feel. But do not misunderstand me, this is a great B&B! Excellent address.

“Vannes has amazing Farmers Market!”

I would give the location 5 stars because it is so closed to the old town. Just a walk down the stairs and across the street to get to the entrance of the walled old town. There are no hotels inside the walled old town so this is why we chose the Maison de la Garenne. The host and breakfast staff… lisää

I would give the location 5 stars because it is so closed to the old town. Just a walk down the stairs and across the street to get to the entrance of the walled old town. There are no hotels inside the walled old town so this is why we chose the Maison de la Garenne. The host and breakfast staff were very nice. The room we had upstairs was large and had a very large bathroom. The pool was closed up (we weren't planning to use it) but grounds did not look as beautiful as the website photo. I understand it was the time of the year. I found the common room and grounds looked more like a daycare center during our visit. We loved Vannes and the walled old fort is beautiful. Please make sure you visit their large Farmers Market if you are here on a Wed or Sat. It was one of the best farmers market I have been to in France.
