Ty Ar Pennduig - loin de la foule et du bruit

We can’t praise this delightful cottage enough. First, there’s the location: because it’s not on the coast, you’re not immersed in crowds and tacky, touristic atmosphere. At the same time, you’re only a short drive (in all directions) from wonderful sights. It’s a half-hour (or less) to some of the most remarkable of the parish closes (Guimiliau, Lampaul-Guimiliau, St Thégonec, La Martyre, Pleyben). An hour’s drive will get you to Locronan, a uniquely and perfectly preserved medieval town; to Landerneau, a historic town with many finely preserved houses, one of the last inhabited bridges in Europe, and a new arts center (currently with a large and important Chagall exhibition), and to Perros-Guirec, where you can explore the Cote de Granit Rose or take a boat to Sept Iles to see puffins and seals.

The cottage itself is a dream. It’s tastefully decorated, and fully equipped with modern appliances. Yet it’s a romantic old stone house, surrounded by flowers. There’s a lovely conservatoire for meals, with a view over a large lawn (and a herd of cows just beyond a border of tall trees). The bed was great, and we slept really well because it’s so quiet—aside from the occasional mooing of a cow or the bleating of a baby goat, you don’t hear a thing. You’re really out in the country here, with few neighbors. We cooked all our meals in the cottage, both because the kitchen was so comfortable to use and because the local shopping and markets were so good.

Annick and Yves were also a pleasure to work with. They’re friendly and professional. They helped us get oriented over email before we arrived, and they accommodated us in many ways while we were there.

We wish it were possible to give this rental a higher score than 5. My wife and I have rented many European apartments and cottages through VRBO, but this may have been the very best.

The cottage beautifully presented and furnished with good quality new items. The location is perfect for anyone who wants to get away from it all and relax. The nearest shops and supermarkets are a 15 - 20 min drive away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this very comfortable cottage in very peaceful surroundings. Annick and Yves made us very welcome and provided helpful advice about places to visit. Kerbriant was an excellent base for exploring Morlaix and the Baie of Morlaix and the spectacular coastline of the Cote granit rose. We also visited Huelgoat and took walks in the nearby countryside. Particular highlights were the starry night skies and the sound of the owls in the garden.

This is a spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated and well-equipped cottage in a peaceful rural setting. It was spotlessly clean and warm when we arrived. Everything worked well, including the wi-fi. We also appreciated the supply of wood for the fire. It was a very good base for touring round some of the best of the 'parish closes' of Finistere (highly recommended).

We really enjoyed our second 2 week stay at Kerbriant this August (2015). It is away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns but only 40 mins from some excellent beaches. The beautiful setting and large garden were just right for our children (3 & 6) to run around. Hosts Annick & Yves are very friendly and welcoming. We'd recommend this property whole-heartedly to people who love France and some tranquility within a family holiday. Falling asleep listening to 2 different kinds of owls is to be recommended.
