Our opinion
This is an authentic Brittany thatched cottage in a large tree-filled garden with the ocean as the sole horizon. On entering the property, visitors are immersed in an ideal setting for seaside holidays where they can spend long days relaxing in the shade of the umbrella pines. The house requires refurbishment but is already more than suitable for families seeking space and a life amidst the great outdoors. The property is set back slightly from the seafront and tucked away from prying eyes, only a short way from the gems of the Gulf of Morbihan and the famous Suscinio Castle.
