Holiday Rental Cottage in Carhaix-Plouguer, Brittany Reviews

Lovely cottage - quiet location, perfect to get away from everything
The cottage is in a lovely hamlet, the locals are all very friendly mixture of English & French in the Hamlet (brought us some tomatoes they'd grown!!) The cottage itself is the perfect get away, good sized lounge with comfy leather sofa, TV if you want it and selection of DVDs (although a lot are French with English subtitles so might be worth bringing some with you. The kitchen is small but perfectly functional with everything you could need. The bedroom is lovely, really simply but tastefully decorated - very relaxing space and the bed was comfy too.

The patio was a suntrap in the afternoon - perfect to sit out with a Pastis / G&T early evening - we were very lucky with the weather. Having the washing machine & dryer was also very useful.

We explored the local area - canal walk was really lovely. Local town had everything you need with a large L'Eclerc supermarket and a good choice of restaurants to eat out. Locally (15/20miles) the Abbey is worth a look - you have the option of taking an ipad (at no extra cost) which gives you a tour of the rooms with virtual pictures of the rooms how they would have looked which really brought it to life, and the bar across the bridge did the BEST ever Moules Frites - perfect place to watch the world go by and popular with cyclists. Also the Lac Guerlidan (probably not spelt right) is worth a visit and it's on the way too/from the Abbey

We would definitely recommend a stay here - and the owner was very helpful and prompt to reply to queries.

Lovely part of the world to visit - perfect if you just want to escape from life !!
