huge breton stone manor mansion with sea view by the lighthouse

I knew the house from a previous stay in 2018 - fine house, wonderful situation - and rented it for a family holiday - my two daughters and their families. The standard of maintenance was poor, but we had a good time. However, after leaving, we were accused of soiling one of the mattresses, which we absolutely did not do - it was already soiled, and had dried, and was only revealed when my daughter stripped the bed at the very end of the holiday, so she omitted to mention it in order to save my feelings. My credit card has been debited €800 to pay for a new mattress, and despite the best efforts of my son-in-law to sort it out, it seems that the word of the cleaners has been believed against ours. This has, of course, completely ruined what was already a very expensive holiday.

Booked this house for its location and garden. The house was big enough for my family (3 couples and 3 singles) and garden big enough for my dogs with walks right from the back door. It has lovely terraces so you can follow the sun around with large tables for alfresco dining. Although the house had 3 en-suites it would be good to have a separate shower room for the other 2 rooms and curtains for the baths/showers would be a good idea. Also full length mirrors in master and second large bed would be nice. The house has plenty of room with lovely views from the sitting area of the garden, sea and lighthouse. Also plenty of room if you want to have a bit of space or quiet time! The beds are very comfortable with nice bed linen and plenty of towels. We didn't explore Lilia apart from going for a beer in the Bar which is walking distance, so can't really comment on that but road links are good for exploring the area with large supermarkets just a few miles away. Overall I loved the house and enjoyed its quirkiness and charm and I am very much looking forward to my return trip in September. The Manager, Hans is very helpful and charming and close by if you have any problems or need advice on activities, vets or restaurants.

Fabulous location and amazing views . The house was good overall with quirky furnishings and decor. Shame that the en suites did not all have proper showers and no separate bathroom for those without en suites. No kettle - but that's not unusual in France. We were rather shocked to be charged 50 Euro for each of our 2 dogs especially as the house is not cheap and is advertised as dog friendly. However we enjoyed our stay with various family members- a good place for a get together. It was great having the beach at the end of the garden and a good restaurant in walking distance.
