On the outskirts of tiny Saint Cadou is a 17th-century presbytery flanked by two houses, a place of serenity and charm. Ben and David, generous to a fault, have created four immaculate gites at the end of the lane… and if you’re a couple, you can do B&B. Choose between ‘Hayloft’ (kitchen, log-burner, sweet sunny garden) and ‘Stable’, an adorable studio with sliding doors to its own patio. Eggs Breton, porridge, fresh continental, full English – whichever breakfast you go for it’ll be delicious, and delivered to your door. Fly-fish at lovely Lake Drennec (a 10-minute stroll) or hop on the bikes and cycle the Velo Vert.
We had a wonderful week with Ben and David. The Stable is compact but every detail has been thoughtfully planned. Comfortable bed, lovely linen, scrumptious breakfasts and peaceful surroundings. This is a perfect base from which to explore the wild and wonderful north west corner of Brittany.
