We found the house as described in the ad. It lies quiet, but not isolated, in the beautiful hilly landscape of Brittany. From the terrace one has a wide view into the country, at the same time the plant and the garden offer sufficient protection from possibly too curious views.
The street at the house is rarely used. Shopping and fueling facilities are available in Plouguenast (5 minutes by car). Larger errands can be done in Loudéac (15 - 20 minutes). There is also a weekly market.
When going on excursions, it should be noted that the travel times to the beaches, for example, are slightly longer than those in the advertisement. However, the location is so central that almost every destination in Brittany can be reached within a day trip of max. 2 hours (e.g. Rennes approx. 1.25 hours, Paimpol approx. 1 hour, Vannes approx. 1.25 hours). Different beaches between St.-Brieuc and Paimpol between 45 - 60 minutes.
Unfortunately we only met Mark and not Karen personally. But the reception was very nice and informal. There was a nice welcome present so that we felt right at home. Mark was very helpful and gave us tips for excursions and sightseeing (even in his absence). Many thanks again!
All in all it was one of the most beautiful and relaxed holidays we ever had.
