Bleuniek Cottage (PET.29)

Bleuniek Cottage is a 2/3 bedroomed cottage, sleeping 4/5 (+ baby), in a rural setting in the hamlet of Keharan (Finistère), 1.5km from the village of Porspoder, 30km NW of Brest (Michelin map: 512). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 2005. Saturday arrival.

A traditional Breton cottage, built in the 18th century, fully renovated in recent years to offer holiday accommodation of an excellent standard at the end of a private road, with a sandy beach a short distance away. The spacious and comfortable living areas combined with the cheerful décor create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in this smart, well-equipped property. The small garden, just opposite the house, for the exclusive use of VFB clients, is shady, well-kept and a peaceful place in which to enjoy this lovely setting. Its proximity to the coast makes this ideal holiday accommodation for families and lovers of the sea. There is plenty to do and see close by, and a little further afield; numerous walks along the impressive coastline of Brittany’s north-western promontory ‘the Coast of Legends’ start from 500m from the gîte. The pretty port of Le Conquet from which glass-bottomed boat tours can be taken is less than half an hour's drive away, whilst the marine life centre and impressive aquarium of Océanopolis in Brest is a must-see day out for adults and children. The friendly but discreet owners live next door and will be responsible for welcoming guests to this lovely house and area.

Accommodation:  Ground floor; open plan living/dining room with corner kitchen, shower room, wc. First floor: mezzanine with single bed, 2 double-bedded rooms (one with extra single bed), shower room with wc.

Comments
“We have thoroughly enjoyed our week spent at this attractive and well-appointed gîte and much appreciated the warmth and generosity of M and Mme Petton’s welcome.” “The house is delightful and the welcome extraordinary.” “All in all a very good holiday in an idyllic spot with warm and friendly hosts.” "The most beautiful area we have ever visited ... The owners were also the best ever, absolute models of kindness and hospitality - we all wanted to stay a lot longer. The area is perfect for walking ... and there are many diverse beaches of very different natures. The coastline is really lovely and the gîte perfectly located. We very much enjoyed the company of M et Mme Petton and all their animals."
