Château de la Ballue

Bazouges-la-Pérouse, France

The current Château de la Ballue was built by Gilles de Ruellan in 1620 and renovated in 1705. In the 19th century there was a glass factory. The highlight of any stay at the castle will be tea and a guided tour of those magnificent gardens.

Superior place. Finally a place that respects itself AND its customers. Best value for money I had in a long time. Totally recommended.

We could have wept when we departed this beautiful home. We stayed in the Perse bedroom suite which was perfection with fabric walls, the most comfortable bed and a generous bath. The gardens are astonishing, the swimming pool was heaven. It was so peaceful. Bird song lulled me to sleep on the sun lounger. Victor and Tio, sons of the owners where so very charming. So kind, so helpful, so exceptional. The breakfast (made and served by the very lovely Marie) included pastries of a standard we have never tasted on our many visits to France. This is an exceptional establishment. Did we mention tea and cake in the orangery when we arrive? You will have missed something extraordinary if you do not visit this place. Cannot recommend more highly. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Clickimin Broch

The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
