The Experience

A 17th-century presbytery flanked by two houses: a retreat of gîtes at the end of the drive. Not only are the gîtes beautiful and the detailing second to none but the hosts are hospitable, professional and unfailingly generous. Aided by a black cat and a springer spaniel (bring your dog if you want it to be spoiled), Ben and David have created a place of serenity and charm.

The Priory, dating from 1640, oozes history and spreads itself over three floors, with a French hunting lodge of a sitting room, a dining room that seats eight and a fabulous kitchen opening to the garden. The Granary is a family cottage for six; the Hayloft and Stable are boltholes for two, both single storey, the latter a B&B studio. Everyone has private outdoor space and bikes are available for exploring the wonderful countryside around you. A shared pool has an ingenious telescopic shelter that can be opened in fine weather.

Find Breton cider, local honey, jam, fresh baguettes and apple juice waiting for you in these bucolic hideaways.

Reviews

Kergudon calls to anyone who appreciates the tranquillity of authentic Brittany, its history, luscious landscapes and wide open skies. It's a perfect spot for unwinding thanks to the thoughtful touches from Ben and David, who have created individual, cosy retreats with decor that combines discreet elegance and practical comforts. A wonderful rural retreat just 45 minutes from Roscoff and Brest.

Andre, Kendal

Stayed at The Priory for one week (one couple). Super-spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a great, quiet, central Finistere location. On-site owners Ben and David most accommodating and helpful and have clearly spent a huge effort on refurbishing their cottages with style. Their forthcoming swimming pool will be the icing on the cake. With over 40 years of gite experience in France this must rank as one of the best.


Céline et Arnaud, Saint-Étienne

We had a fantastic time at Kergudon. Our hosts Ben and David were very kind, their gîtes are tastefully decorated and kept very clean. They also have lots of good recommendations and you’ll find everything you need on site. We had a very comfortable and peaceful stay. We highly recommend their gîtes! And we can’t wait to come back!


JOSE Miguel, Brest

Our weekend at the Priory gîte at Kergudon was a real pleasure! It’s a calm place, next to Drennec lake and surrounded by nature, and the gîte was so comfortable with everything needed for an unforgettable stay! We very much recommend staying there, you won’t regret it. Thank you Ben and Dave! Wonderful hosts!


Deb, Portland, Oregon

My husband and I, along with our small dog, enjoyed a long stay in the Priory and couldn’t have felt more at home. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful with suggestions and insights of the region. They keep a super clean and very well maintained property. It was a special privilege to get to stay there. The kitchen is very well equipped with every utensil and appliance one would ever need. The Finistre area of Brittany is incredibly beautiful and the diversity of the landscape was stunning. There is so much to do and see, it was definitely beyond our expectations. A very special spot.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're on the outskirts of tiny Saint-Cadou in the heart of the Parc Naturel d'Armorique for sublime walks and cycles. There is a little bar in the village, a two-minute walk, which serves food, otherwise Saint-Rivoal has a good selection of restaurants from Easter to September. Sizun has lots of places to eat and drink. Drennec lake is nearby for paddle boarding, kayaking and sandy lake beaches.

Local points of interest from Ben Dickins

  • Kergudon Gîtes are sited in the heart of the Monts D'Arrée in a natural park. As such you are spoiled for choice for walking, cycling or horse-riding routes in stunning scenery including the highest points of Brittany with their breath-taking views.
  • Equidistant from the north, west and south coasts of Brittany, each with their own character and charm, you can choose from long sandy beaches of the Crozon peninsular, the Pink Granite coast to the north or rockier inlets and estuaries of the south.
  • We are 2 kms from the beautiful Lac du Drennec, one of the best fly fishing lakes in France, there is a water sports centre where you can hire kayaks and paddle boards or just enjoy lunch at the fabulous Au Lac bistro overlooking the lake.
  • We are spoiled for interesting villages, towns and cities within easy reach. Brest and Quimper being the largest north and south respectively for those who need an escape from rural Finistere with Locronan, Morlaix, Huelgoat and many others worth a visit.
  • If food's your motivation we're within easy reach of many excellent restaurants, the very traditional Breton creperies and many weekly markets to buy fabulous produce to create your own meals.
  • While a small, rural village St Cadou is surprisingly active for a village of its size boasting a lively dog-friendly pub, boulangerie and active Comité des Fêtes. If you're here when one of the many Fest Noz take place its definitely worth attending!
