Luxurious comfort a pebble's throw from the Atlantic surf

While there are many reasons that campers consistently return to Brittany, one is undeniably the glorious beaches. From the stunning cliff-tops at Perros-Guirec, to the opulent north coast of Dinard, Brittany has a seemingly endless stretch of majestic, unpredictable coastline.

While there's no doubting the region's epic quality, we know of a tranquil, secluded cove where soft, white sands meet the azure waters of the sea. A place that's the very essence of rest and relaxation. Interested? We thought as much. Welcome to Bot-Conan Lodge.

Just a flip-flop away from the bay, this über luxurious new glampsite boasts some of the region's most enviable ocean vistas. But this is not the crashing Atlantic swells of maritime lore. At Bot-Conan's secret beach, a meditative calm pervades – kids are safe to paddle and lovers free to contemplate the endless seascape before them. Pure bliss.

After a day's frolicking in the temperate waves, cataloguing the local wildlife, or simply lazing on the beach with a good book, retiring to your safari-lodge dwellings is simply wonderful. As well as safari lodges, three ‘atoll’ tents are available, combining the pleasure of camping with the luxury of your very own sun deck and outdoor kitchen. Whatever accommodation you choose, you’re sure to enjoy this beautiful, Breton bolthole.

Welcoming host Arnaud has ensured the site blends perfectly into the local landscape – even the two bath-houses integrate seamlessly with their green roofs and wooden facades.

Although it’s tough, do try and drag yourself away, the local area is spectacular. Brittany’s deep, mysterious interior is there to be explored – from Arthurian woodland (the fabled Brocéliande), canals, and rivers that are ideal for hiking, cycling or cruising lazily. For something more adrenaline-fuelled, surf junkies can get their fix at La Torche some 30 minutes away.

As well as a shared Celtic heritage (not to mention landscape) with their Cornish cousins across the water, the Breton's share a love for cider. Fouesnant is the spiritual home of Breton cidre. It's generously endowed with fertile orchards which produce the very best brews. If you're staying in July, the annual 'Fete des Pommiers' (Festival of the Apple Trees) is a must for all connoisseurs.

Atoll Tent

The best time!

Amazing camp site next to a beautiful stretch of coastline, well-equipped kitchen, plenty for kids to do on site (play room, table genius, rope swing, bikes). Would highly recommend. We’ll be back!

Atoll Tent

Just returning from 6 days in one of the Atoll tents. The site was already quiet with only one other family there. Facilities all good quality and we enjoyed the outdoor kitchen - though we were also lucky to have perfect weather. The main attraction though is the glorious beach just a few metres away and direct access to the coastal path. Beg Meil and Cap Coz both a shortish (30 mins) walk away, we had good meals in both Bistro Chez Hubert and Les pieds dans l’eau. Carole was really helpful throughout and ordered us croissants and bread daily. Highly recommended.

Atoll Tent

We had a week-long glamping holiday staying in one of the Atoll tents. We were very impressed with the facilities, both with what was provided with the tent and the cooking a facilities (the fridge was the most welcome new addition!), but also with the shower block and the other shared facilities. Arnaud, Carol and the rest of the team provided a great service, from very frequent cleaning to the availability of fresh bread in the mornings and a quick response to maintenance issues or queries. The setting is beautiful with immediate access to a lovely beach and easy access to other beaches nearby. The village of Beg Meil with a very handy and well stocked convenience store is a quick cycle ride away and having the quaint post bikes on site for use by the campers was a nice touch. We had a very relaxing stay and can't wait to re-book for next year.

We’ve just returned from a wonderful week at Bot Conan. The campsite and its layout are great, the tents are nicely spaced out around the site which is surrounded by trees. We stayed in a bell tent in the far corner of the furthest field, perfect for a spot of privacy and our children had lots of space to run around and play where we could see them at all times. Camping here was a real adventure for our kids, they loved the whole experience, especially the zip wire, swings and the chicken (poor chicken!). As previous reviewers have mentioned, the beach is perfect for young children - the water is very calm and shallow, and there are plenty of interesting little nooks for them to explore. The free bikes, canoe etc are a great addition, all in all, it’s the type of place you hardly want to leave all week. The washing block and the main ‘farmhouse’ building are beautifully designed, as is everything else at Bot Conan. Antoine was a brilliant host, knowledgable and friendly. Merci!

Atoll Tent

A perfect glampsite for a relaxed and peaceful holiday with options for swimming, walking, cycling and boating if you want to explore. Catching up on your summer reading from the decking outside your safari tent is also an option! The setting is stunning and easily accessible; we managed very well without a car for a week's holiday. The bus to Fouesnant is regular and reliable - the old quarter next to the cathedral is worth a visit. There's a coastal path in both directions from Bot-Conan's location on the west-facing coast of a large bay, and you can take a boat trip from Beg-Meil (30 mins walk from Bot-Conan) to visit a small archipelago of islands. There are two nautical schools within easy reach and some lovely quiet cycling along the coast and inland - there's an easy off-road route that leads directly from Bot-Conan (follow the yellow triangle and two circles signs!) in the direction of Mousterlin that winds through pine forests down to and along the coast. Try the campsite's yellow post bikes that are free to use - perfect for touring through the nearby countryside. Antoine was a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful host who looked after us really well. A lovely place for a holiday with kids - we were sad to leave.

From the host

Make your holiday a fantastic experience, in the countryside by the sea in a tented camp. Whether you are a family or a couple, our amazing tents offer an idyllic setting to relax and have fun. Located at Bot-Conan Lodge, on a gorgeous setting, with direct access to the beach, in South Brittany, a real escape from your everyday life is waiting for your family. Our lodges and tents with sundeck combine the pleasure of camping and comfort. After long days out at the beach, on the coastal paths or on your private deck, meet in the evening around the BBQ pit and enjoy the full comfort of this Glamping experience; sauna, jacuzzi, bikes, ping-pong table, paddle and canoe, ... Camping you say? No, this is GLAMPING! Beds have comfortable mattresses with duvets, linens and pillows are provided. We know you want to ‘rough it’, but up to a certain point: electricity is provided as well as Wi-Fi, if you wish to stay connected! A small fridge will also keep your provisions cool and fresh. The site is fenced so children can play safely in the surrounding grounds and the sea is kid-friendly (no currents or big waves, shallow depth). High chairs and baby cots are available on request.Barbecue pit and private wooden picnic tables will enhance this outdoor family experience. Bikes, canoe and paddle boards are available on site. Bot-Conan has two bath houses, located only few meters far from the tents they completely fit into the environment thanks to their green roofs and wood panels. They are equipped with flushing toilets, hot power showers, washbasins and outdoor dishes and laundry sinks. Bath houses are maintained several times a day so they always stay spotless. After a swim in the sea, you will find this hot shower incredibly delightful! The clubhouse is a warm and cosy place to read in front of a wood fire or to have a snack. We want you to enjoy this pristine environment: the site is car free and complimentary bikes are provided.

Nearby attractions

Bot-Conan is located in the beautiful bay of Baie de la Forêt, where outdoor activities come thick and fast. Here are a couple of suggestions to get you started. Overlooking La Foret-Fouesnant bay, Cornouaille Golf Club (0033 298 569709) is a challenging, well maintained golf course set upon the picturesque Atlantic coast. Home to plenty of wildlife including egrets, swans, herons, geese and ducks, Cornouaille is the oldest golf course in southern Brittany. The 18th century clubhouse is a converted manor house that offers meals, snacks, and a friendly bar where you can enjoy a post-round drink. Concarneau, a likeable fishing port, is only a short drive away. This charming walled town makes its living from the fishing industry, and catches more than 100,000 tonnes of tuna every year! The Musee de la Peche (0033 298 971020) is an interesting little museum that gives an educational introduction to how fisheries operate. Make sure you head outside and explore the engine room, galley, and bedrooms of the old trawler.

Food and drink

For cider lovers, the annual 'Fete des Pommiers' (Festival of the Apple Trees) takes place in July and features music, dancing and plentiful amounts of the celebrated brew. Bot-Conan Lodge is also close to the quaint village of Beg Meil which has a lovely local market, creperies, and good choice of restaurants. Bistrot Chez Hubert (0033 298 949804) is a cosy little restaurant with a big atmosphere. The high quality menu is varied, with the seafood being particularly tasty. There are no onsite catering options, however local produce can be sourced if requested and a pub is soon to open on the farm directly next door.
