Although the hostess speaks no English, she does her very best to communicate with through paper, hand gestures and a lovely smile. A continental breakfast is served daily in the lobby. If you prefer, you may also dine in the comfort of your room like my friend did. The hotel is locked in the evening, the only access is with a door code staying guests have access to. Sleep well. If you have traveled to France before then you already know that the majority of buildings do not have an elevator. When I made a request for a lower level room for my mom who has bad knees, not only was my request granted she was given a room specially made for a handicapped person. Not that my mother is fully handicapped, but the fact the room is an option was fantastic. It is designed for a guest in a wheel chair. So don't leave anyone behind because of a wheelchair! There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. The village church is within an eyeshot of the hotel and very much worth a peek inside. While the hotel does not have a parking garage, there is a parking lot a few yards away.

You MUST book a tour with Alex and his 2CV! For you those not in the know, a 2CV is a Citroën deux…read morechevaux. Extremely popular during its production years from 1948-1990 in France. A compact car with a big personality! As one of our wedding presents, we were gifted an adventurous tour of the countryside from Concarneau to Pont-Aven. Typical of Brittany weather we encountered showers during our ride. Alex was quick with manually switching from drop-down convertible to hard top in seconds. Then back again. ha! Some of the stops included: * Trévignon Headlands - wildlife conservation area since 1980's. Wild, spectacular · Fort Le Caballou - Built in 1746, it provides a 360° view of Concarneau and Glenan Island * Kerascoet - one of the only thatched roof villages in Bretagne, Kerascoet. Homes here are like something out of a Grimms fairytale. I would have loved to take a peek inside one. * Port Manech & Nevez - Beautiful seaside village * One of the oldest moules farms and distributers in Bretagne Alex, who speaks both English and French (and I think Spanish as well!) educated us on the history of each spot we stopped in as well as those along the way. Buena Vista Social Club is playing in the background, to ensure a lively ambiance on the road. Have your cameras ready, you'll want photos of everything and be tempted to stop just about everywhere! Our final destination included a beer at my favorite beach-side bar, la châtaigneraie in Nevez (see my past review). Should you happen to visit in the summer, the beach is divine. Being a local from Concarneau, Alex knows the roads very well! If you want a 'locals view' of the region, call up Alex and Galipette to show you around. You'll see things otherwise missed by tourists!

Absolutely as good as it gets. The Abalains are outstanding hosts. Peaceful and in the country…read morebut an easy trip to get to a city if you need to. Recommend to all.
