Penquelen Huella Farm

Penquelen Huella is the ideal Brittany family holiday destination. An organic dairy farm, it rests in the heart of Brittany’s countryside at the foot of the Black Mountains. It’s easily reachable from London, as the farm is just 40 minutes from Quimper Airport, which has direct London flights. Alternatively, Penquelen Huella is only 90 mins drive from the Plymouth-Roscoff ferry or 2hrs 30 mins from the Portsmouth-St. Malo ferry.

Activities on the farm:

The tents are next to the forest in a field with an animal paddock containing pigs, rabbits and more. Most tents offer a beautiful view of the fields below. Don’t be surprised on this lovely, tranquil farm, to find a cow standing next to your tent after it has been milked. Children can roam but may stop awhile on discovering “The Hut” at the edge of the forest, the hay barn with a new wooden indoor space to play, and the rope swing in the woods behind the tents.

There are superb walking and biking options on your glamping doorstep within 600 acres of forests such as the Cascadec and Coatloch. Materials for den- and kid-size tepee- building are available. You will find that Cyrille is very proud of his herd of cows and will gladly share his knowledge. Another source of pride is the standard of amenities provided, including the honesty shop and the showers.

Explore the area:

The Brittany coastline is easily reached, by a route which takes in lovely Pont Aven, Concarneau’s entrance to sandy beaches, and the picturesque lighthouse-guarded harbour of Doëlan. Quimper is a major draw, with its cathedral, old streets, and the July Cornouille Festival. Bittany’s biggest event happens in Scaër itself – the end of May Cavalcade carnival festival. Discover the wooden huts of the clog makers in Coatloc’h forest (15 min drive) or take part in one of the 12 orientation races organized there.
