House with superb sea views

A great stay for 2 families. Brilliant location and the house was better than expected.

An extremely special house in a special place. The hosts are warm and friendly and we loved the house. We hope to be able to return.

Its perfect. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful beach house with nothing between you and the sea, this is it. We come every year with our children, and look forward to it throughout the winter. The fabulous stars at night, the constant goings-on the beach with the little boats, and crabs, and wonderful coastal walks. and that is just near the house (which is the perfect beach house). Piriac is a charming village with great ice cream. go, enjoy, and find a little piece of heaven!

The property is in a quiet location (Piriac to La Turballe road not a problem), a beach just in front, and local sailors and non-professional fishermen providing much to observe (if you have anything that floats, take it!). The rocky coves provide safe bathing / swimming and plenty to explore. Piriac and La Turballe are nearby by car or bike (walking possible for the keen), having must visit markets, restaurants and shops. The house has had some impressive refurbishment in the last year and I suspect there is more to come. We suspect that this will be a future retirement home because of the quality of the changes. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate in most nights - if you wish to eat out most nights then you might prefer to be nearer a town. The arrangement of 3 double bedrooms on the 1st floor, single off the lounge / diner and two singles in the basement (but ground floor on the road side of the house) would not really suit very young children but I can imagine teenagers would love being remote from parents! Our only gripe was that the double beds are 4' 6 and we are used to 6ft and hence used a bed each, but the bed size seems to be quite normal in France. Other point was that for 9 people, clothes hanging space was limited and would need to be shared. We found every routine household item left available (even tea and coffee grounds!) so only initially needed to buy food - a welcome change to properties that have been cleared of everything. Minor warning is that we took our own linen but discovered that all pillows were 60cm square. Easy for two people to solve but more major for a large group. P.S. I never give 100%!
