Luxury House in Plonevez du Faou, Finistere, Brittany Reviews

This property has been beautifully restored and makes for an extremely comfortable and inviting holiday stay. The upstairs living and dining area is a great space for families and the outside area perfect for breakfasts. Closest beach for families was less than 25 minutes drive, perfect for surfing and ice creams.

Stunningly renovated property in a very peaceful rural area, but still within close proximity of usual amenities. About 40 minutes drive to the fabulous beach at Morgat and the interesting Breton town of Quimper. A real treat.

Lovely secluded property but still within walking distance of amentities. Loads to see in the immediate area including the 'chaos of the rocks' at Huelgoat and Chateau about 10 miles at at Treverez. Coast about 40 minutes to Crozon peninsula which has some wonderful beaches. Lacronan which is officially one of the prettiest villages in France is also about 40 minutes drive.

The experience of the house was very positive, the location is just perfect. We took bikes with us which were really great as there is so much lovely countryside. The house is secluded and the way it has been restored is inspirational. The homely feel is also quite different from many other houses on the website, and that also made the stay very relaxing.

The fairly nearby canal linking Brest to Nante is a good ride and the beaches if you prefer a seaside break is pretty near and the bays are pretty quiet even in the height of summer.

This is an amazing gite beautifully renovated, which is superbly equipped. The garden is large and we put up our own badminton court! The gite is pretty remote with 3 empty houses close by but beautifully peaceful. The upside down arrangement works well as the higher BBQ area with table and chairs gets the early evening sun and the bedrooms on the lower floor are kept cool. It is well located for visiting a variety of nice towns but the nearest beach is actually a 40minute drive away - worth the drive however, as it is superb.

The house at Kervihan was a real gem, perfectly located for those who want peace and quiet. On the other hand, picturesque French towns, beaches, mountains and cliffs nearby (by car). So you have the best of both Breton worlds. The house is beautifully restored and has all modern conveniences needed. Very special is the open space on the first floor, which combines kitchen and living area. The house also has old features, such as the stable doors to the bathrooms. And a bath tub in the fire place. So cute! In one sentence... you feel at home as soon as you open the front door.

And Vanessa, the owner, is extremely friendly and helpful when you have any questions during your stay (via mail and texting).

PS Enjoy the crepes at l'Enclos in Pleyben... they are extremely good!!

I count myself very fortunate to have stayed at Kervihan on my first visit to France since the 1980s. This stone built house with its thick walls and oak timbers has a feeling that most of us will never experience in our normal lives. I particularly enjoyed the "upside down" layout which gave a rural countrywide view when cooking, eating and relaxing. This was enhanced by the large adjoining balcony for meals and lounging outside. Downstairs, the bedrooms with their excellent en-suite facilities are really comfortable. For a quiet relaxing break in rural Brittany Kervihan is unbeatable and I look forward to making a return visit there very soon.

Stunning accommodation. It has style, space, comfort, tranqillity, and character. It's been converted with innovation and flare, good attention to detail and it has original beams! We loved it, and can't wait to go again.

The local area, had plenty to interest us, with wonderful flowers, good places to eat and shop, unique architecture and fabulous beaches only 20mins away!

We found the roads quiet, making for easy driving, without tolls or parking charges.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kervihan which is an amazing property with a real WOW factor. The spacious house has been imaginatively renovated to a very high standard creating a stylish and comfortable holiday venue. There are lots of innovative ideas which have created a unique and artistic property. We particularly liked outdoor dining on the elevated patio overlooking the adjacent fields and later taking the opportunity for some stargazing. With lots of outdoor space, convenient parking and a peaceful location we enjoyed the tranquil environment and the opportunity to relax. We liked the fact that the local village has a range of shops, and there are varied opportunities for dining in the nearby town, which had beautiful flowers and an interesting rural market. Using Kervihan as a base we explored the amazing Brittany countryside, the fantastic coastline with beautiful sandy beaches, and the pretty villages with some fascinating architecture.

We hope to make a return visit soon and recommend it to others.
