Penfret Lodge Tent, Bot-Conan Lodge, Brittany
This glamping escape was created with the idea of reviving the old abandoned campsight of Bot-Conon where the owner, Arnaud, spent many happy childhood summers. The lodge is simple and open, inspired by South African designs. There is an outdoor kitchen and the lodge is fitted with one double bed and three singles. There are hot showers in the communal shower blocks, fitted with grass roves to blend into the landscape. Outside the lodge is a raised deck with a stunning view of the bay, a dining table, and plenty of space for the family to play and explore.
What’s more, just 10 metres away the property boasts its very own humble private beach, with shallow waters. The hosts also provide craft materials and activities should it be a day too rainy for the beach, and each tent comes with two traditional French postal bikes to borrow, free of charge. In the area, Beg-Meil, the near by village, has a regular market that sells fresh local produce, a lovely beach and lots of restaurants. There are also museums and libraries in the area or for the more active family member, activities your hosts can help you organise include fishing, cycling and sailing.
