2hrs from Roscoff, 3hrs from St Malo and 45mins from Brest airport, our gites are located in an idyllic part of Finistere.
The varied coastline of sandy beaches, rockpools, craggy cliffs and secluded coves is just a 10 min drive away. Still unspoilt, and far less built up than many other parts of Brittany, our beautiful, family friendly, yet relatively undiscovered beaches, are a rare find. We feel privileged to be able to offer holiday accommodation in this wonderful and special area.

The buildings have been very recently renovated by ourselves, maintaining as many original features as possible, such as the beautiful beams, and exposed stonework. We have designed, built and decorated all of the buildings ourselves, scouring antique markets for the perfect pieces to bring back and restore, and reclaiming and incorporating as much of the original fabric and character of the buildings as we can. Our guests love the attention to detail and the friendly, homely feel of our cottages, which they tell us is second to none. We completed The Farmhouse and Les Hiboux in 2015, and Le Petit Renard in 2018.
Le Petit Renard:
Le Petit Renard is the latest property to be renovated (we finished it in 2018). It took us two years to design, renovate and decorate the longere and we have been overwhelmed by the positive responses of our guests so far.
We were very excited about turning the farm's bread oven into a three bedroom gite because the stone breton oven has been perfectly preserved and makes a wonderful feature in the kitchen along with the old oak beams which we highlighted with a spacious vaulted ceiling. We also turned the arched doorway into a bespoke window seat using beautiful carved planks from the original building. The modern kitchen comes equipped with a butler sink, induction hob, dishwasher and oak shelving. The hand painted table and chairs seat five, as do the comfy leather sofas. The living room has a TV, Wifi, DVD plus a supply of books, DVDs and games. There is a wood burning stove with wood provided, and electric heating in winter.
From the living room, large glass doors provide a view of the tree-lined grounds, and lead onto the patio where you will find a bbq, table and chairs for 6, and comfortable outdoor seating. From the garden you can watch the children play on the large play lawn, but enjoy the privacy provided by a pretty low wall planted with colourful flowers.
Bedrooms are beautifully decorated with hand painted furniture and exposed stone walls, and all overlook the lawns and flowerbeds. The master has a kingsized bed, wardrobe, dressing table and armchair. The twin has a double wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedroom chair. The single is spacious, with a beautiful antique iron bed, drawers and chair. There is a large bathroom which has a bathtub with shower attachment and a Bosch washing machine in a discreet cupboard.
The Pool:
The heated swimming pool is available from mid May till end September. It is housed inside the walls of the beautiful roofless coach-house, across the courtyard from the gites. Our pool is 8 x 4 m with no shallow end, which gives plenty of room to either swim laps or play games. We heat it to 28 degrees during summer, regardless of the weather. This keeps it warm enough for the smallest of toddlers to use, even when our Brittany weather is not at its best! The poolside is decked, with sunloungers, and the pool adheres to current safety regulations. Outside the coach-house is a table tennis and swing ball area. The pool can be used at any time of day, and we have found it the perfect place for the kids to get to know one another while parents enjoy some downtime. Towels are provided.
In the garden the swings, trampoline, badminton, swingball, football nets, soft archery, table tennis and other play equipment will keep your kids busy, plus some small kids' bikes. Les Hiboux and Le Petit Renard each has its own private garden and eating/barbecue area secured by an attractive low fence,low stone wall and flowerbeds, overlooking the grassy play lawn so you can enjoy a glass of wine in comfort while supervising the kids. The Farmhouse has a large private, fenced garden area separated from the main garden, making it safe for small kids and pets and giving extra privacy, whilst at the same time the play lawn is visible from the garden.
Entertainment:
If you have children, we provide personalised toyboxes for them, plus each cottage has board games, books, DVDs, TV in English and French and an excellent Wifi connection.
Kitchen supplies:
Our kitchens come fully equipped with oven, dishwasher, washing machines, microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers etc. We leave some basic kitchen supplies such as washing powder, washing liquid, sponges, cling film, tea/coffee, salt/pepper, oil and, during high season, a welcome pack including fresh milk, bread, croissants and other goodies so that you can relax with a cuppa before unpacking, or have a breakfast of croissants and cereals next day without having to worry about shopping enroute. If you arrive late, just let us know what you need and we can pop to the supermarket for you!
For the kids/babies:
We love having kids to stay and have tried to make packing as easy for you as possible, providing baby baths, changing mats, travel cots with comfy mattresses and blankets, plates/cups etc, booster seats and highchairs. Let us know if there is anything particular you need and we will do our best to accommodate you.
We have travel cots on hand with cosy mattresses and blankets, and use high quality mattress protectors for your peace of mind.
Other things we provide:
We also provide plenty of towels and high quality bed linen at no extra cost and, of course, bathroom supplies such as loo rolls and hand soap.
We live all year on site so we can answer any queries and provide advice and recommendations about the area. If you like, we can make your vet, or, if necessary, doctor appointments, and can even book a restaurant table for you if you are not confident in using the french language.
Our hamlet:
Our complex is part of a tiny hamlet called Leskobet, proud guardians of the St Corentin Chapel, which is a local pilgrimage site and connects to a network of walking routes leading to majestic views at the Menez Hom, highest point in Finistere. The mythical stream of St Corentin runs through our garden and feeds eventually into the Odet River at Quimper.
Our village:
Our local village, Plomodiern, has splendid sea views, a supermarket, tourist office, several restaurants and bakeries, a takeaway pizzeria/creperie and a bustling market each Friday. It is also host to the annual Fete De Menez Hom in August, when locals dressed in Breton costumes parade through the streets together with Breton dancers from all of the regions of Brittany. During summer a Fest Noz is held every Monday night, when all are welcome to join with the locals, trying out these special Breton dances (or just watching of course!).
Local beaches:
A ten minute drive away, are a number of sandy beaches, for swimming, surfing, or sand buggying. All are unspoilt, backed by dunes and cliff paths. We will provide you with beach towels and parasols for your daytrips.
Other attractions:
Equally accessible is the stunning historic town of Locronan, often used in filmsets, and the canal town of Chateaulin, with cycle tracks along the banks of the beautiful Brest-Nantes canal. Within half an hour, you can visit the facilities of the historic town of Quimper, the fishing port of Duarnenez, or the unspoilt Crozon peninsular with its pleasure beaches and cafes. Further afield it is easy to reach the more touristic beaches of Southern or Northern Finistere, simply take your pick. Or explore the countryside inland. Feel free to ask us for recommendations regarding the many museums, beaches, national parks or attractions nearby.
For the sporty, there is swimming, surfing, and paddle boarding at the nearby beaches, also kite buggys, diving and kayaking are available at Pentrez or Crozon. Cyclists can enjoy the canal paths at the Brest/Nantes canal or the Foret du Nevet at Locronan, and there are tennis courts in the village, a swimming pool at Chateaulin, a kayaking school on the canal, hiking paths, climbing crags and paragliding.
