Tranquil, but not Remote, Near Picturesque Port Launay
3 Bedroom Cottage and 4 Bedroom Farmhouse
|
|
We are situated in an enviable position in a wooded river valley, peaceful but just a 20 min walk to the nearest bar/restaurant and 1st lock gates on the Brest/Nantes canal. We have large grounds which are completely safe for children to play in. Sunbathe on one of our loungers or sit in our shady orchard, BBQ on one of the sun terraces and enjoy the views. Near the very pretty village of Port Launay, overlooking the slow flowing river Aulne, voted the most salmon rich river in France. Port Launay has also featured in magazines as being one of the prettiest port villages in France.

Accessibility
As all our properties have upstairs bathrooms and toilets, unfortunately they are not designed specifically to take wheelchairs or people with mobility problems.
Outside
Rest Huella has extensive grounds with tables and chairs for dining out, there is plenty of choice between the 2 properties so therefore you are not on top of each other. The Farmhouse has tables and chairs outside and L'Ecurie has its own patio with table and chairs. Alternatively one can sit on the large patio in the orchard or on the large lawned area. Sunloungers are provided as well as individual chairs. There are also several barbecues to choose from. We have been asked by our regulars not to have a swimming pool please as it will spoil the peace and tranquility! And with the beaches just 12 miles away we can't see the need either.
Coast/Beach
We are 12 miles away from long wide sandy beaches and smaller rocky coves. Clean seas, often warm, fine sands, safe bathing and never crowded.
Golf
There are golf courses under an hours drive in all directions.

We are in an ideal position for the beaches, the many interesting little villages, such as Locronan, unique medieval village where Roman Polanski filmed 'Tess'. Douarnenez with it's extensive ship museum and harbourside restaurants.
Further details
We are 20 mins from cosmopolitan Quimper with its famous cathedral and old timbered buildings overhanging the narrow streets. There is plenty to see and do here. One can buy traditional Breton fare or the latest fashions and has to be on everyones 'must see' list.
