In addition, both cottages have their own 5m above-ground pool and south-facing sun terrace with paddling/baby pool for children, which are for the solo use of guests. Set in a small friendly hamlet, within walking distance of the Centre of Quistinic - which has an excellent patisserie and freshly baked specialist breads, small general store, doctors and pharmacy - with quiet country lanes and footpaths perfect for walking and cycling. Beautiful sandy beaches are less than 40 min drive away where a host of beaches and sporting activities can be found.

Further details
Quistinic is situated in the heavily-wooded Blavet Valley where the river turns sharply towards Hennebont and the coast. Just along the valley the restored 16th century hamlet of Poul Fetan has been brought to life. Visitors may watch demonstrations of rural tasks of that period, take a drink and snack at the bar, and buy local crafts. During the summer months at nearby Pont Augan one can hire kayaks, relax over a restaurant meal, take a pleasure boat trip to see more of the countryside bordering the river, or enjoy a cycle ride along the towpath. Fishing is a popular local pastime and there is easy access along the banks to the water. For those who wish to relax, Quistinic is an ideal location, and days can be spent without travelling far afield. However, there is much to explore within the region in any direction. Seafood enthusiast can indulge their appetites at excellent quayside bar/restaurants in St Goustan, Auray, or taste freshly-baked pizzas and salads. The historic walled town of Vannes with its timber-framed buildings and cobbled streets offer a wide range of interesting shops to browse. Each major town holds its summer celebration: the ten-day Inter-Celtic Festival in August draws crowds from far and wide to Lorient. Most village/smaller shops close at mid-day until 2pm. Supermarkets likewise close between 12 noon and 2pm out of season, during the high/peak season many will stay open until 7pm.
