spacious house with large garden and terrace in the Bay of Douarnenez

Very friendly welcome at the house, which is very tastefully and with care decorated. Great modern bathroom. Fully equipped kitchen and spacious livingroom. Compliments for the owners of the house! Nice garden with blue, purple and pink hydrangea, view over cornfield and country. Location is beautiful, quiet, near several beaches, hiking trails and small villages and old towns. We had a great time!

The house is beautifully decorated to a very high standard; obviously a lot of money has been spent on the furniture and decoration. The bed we used was extremely comfortable, and the quality of the bathroom fittings is excellent. The garden is attractive, with views over a cornfield to the distance, and not overlooked. For guests with animals or children, a point to note is that there is a laburnum tree next to the patio, which carries poisonous seeds; also the garden is not secure for dogs, with open access to a fairly busy road at the front. The only niggles with the house itself would be that if there were six people staying (the house has three double bedrooms) they might find there are not enough cups and mugs, or everyday wine glasses. Also, if there is sufficient demand for it from English-speaking guests, the host could add some English language channels to the TV / satellite, as the TV is currently set up to receive French and German TV only. Plomodiern is a very attractive village (market day Friday) with a cafe, salon de the, and restaurants. Be aware that in late June (when we travelled) many French businesses are closed while the owners take their own holidays ahead of the main tourist season. I must give a special mention to le Cenote restaurant which offers fine dining, beautifully presented, allows dogs, and is very good value for money. The location as a whole is excellent for exploring the Crozon peninsula, north west Finisterre , and south.

We were delighted with the house. It is very well situated, in easy reach of beaches and so many interesting sights. The town is a short drive away and we shopped and ate there. The house is spacious, very well appointed and equipped and absolutely sparklingly clean. There was nothing more we could have wished for. There is ample parking and the pleasant gardens are quiet and private. Mme Mahe made us welcome with a short explanatory tour and left her contact details. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Ideal location near several beaches (sand or stone), a village with a supermarket that is opened on Sunday morning, a fresh bakery, an antiques shop, a pharmacy and a pancake house 'Crêperie les Genets' owned by French and British people. The house is very nicely decorated, especially the rooms upstairs (fresh paint and wallpaper). The beds are good but small (140 cm) but for a holiday it is okay. The bath suite is outdated and lacks a shower (there is only a handshower in the tub). In the garage there is a wash machine and a dryer that both function very well, so you can wash your towels and clothes every day. The lovely kitchen is fully equipped (dish washer, oven, microwave, coffee machine, electric kettle, toaster, ...) The living room is nice with a leather couch and some cute French seats but it is cold and a little damp, so in the evenings we had to heat it with the electric heating, even in summer. There are only French programmes on the satellite tv but we didn't miss anything, there are plenty of other things to do. The garden and terrace are heavenly. The neighbours are quiet people that you can't see from the house nor the garden. We would recommend this house for a summer holiday, not so much for a winter holiday. Places we visited: the small town Quimper, Huelgoat, Pointe du Raz, Roscoff (in the north). Make sure you take a boat trip (20 min) to île-de-Batz from there, it is dream! On this island is also a stunning exotic garden from the 1900's.
