I chose this hotel in this location for the crazy reason that it looked like parking a car here would be easy (which thankfully it was). It was my first time driving in a foreign country, and I didn't know what to expect when it came to staying in a village. I had pictures in my head of quaint little one-lane medieval streets and no place to leave my car.
Fortunately, this lovely hotel has much more going for it than just convenient parking. It is a charming, welcoming place with a friendly staff and a gorgeous restaurant that I was sorry I was too tired to dine in, because everything they were serving looked heavenly. The room was small but nice, with very nice, updated bathroom facilities including a walk in shower (no wet, sticky shower curtain to contend with!).
The hotel is located close to a lovely lake, and sits next door to the chateau. A walk of a hundred yards puts you right in the middle of nice shops and restaurants.
Combourg was to be the launching pad for my trip to Mont St Michel the next day, and I wish that I had planned to stay longer, so that I could have had a day to look around Combourg itself. Especially that chateau and its grounds!
