Fantastic accommodation in a wonderful location.

We had a wonderful week here in May. The accommodation was fantastic and in a lovely quiet location but still close to local amenities. The swimming pool was glorious and a big hit with the children! Some lovely beaches just a short drive away. Plenty to do in the local area too. A really lovely holiday!

Perfect holiday

The accommodation was lovely, looks just like in the photos and was well equipped and clean. The garden was such a bonus and was a great space for children to play whilst we relaxed on the garden furniture provided. We loved the location as there were quiet, sandy beaches, a supermarket and nice walks nearby. Stewart and Tricia were the most helpful and welcoming owners imaginable and went out of their way to make our stay perfect in every way. We would highly recommend this holiday.

Lovely cottage in a great location

The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed (although the washing machine took a bit of time to figure out!). The swimming pool was a big hit with the kids! There is lots to do in the area and the cottage being near the sea was great for beach visits. The gardens around the cottage are a lovely feature and there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy being outdoors. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were tastefully decorated. Thanks for a lovely time

Wonderful base for family with young children

Les Hibou is a beautiful barn conversion set up perfectly if you are travelling with young children. The house was well equipped and very clean. The large garden is easily accessed and perfect for children to let off steam. The owners were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The house is located in a hamlet about 1 mile from Plomodiern where you can get all supplies needed for a weeks stay. The beaches in the area were stunning and again ideal for young children - easily accessible, sand for castles and plenty of rock pools! We would definitely recommend Les Hibou and the region and are keen to return.

Perfectly charming gite in quiet countryside

We had an amazing stay at Les Hiboux. It’s perfectly French chic styled and was extremely well appointed with all the you would need away from home. The setting in the crook of a stream is idyllic. The only noise was our dogs barking at owls!! Stuart and Trish are fabulous hosts and on hand with good advice and ideas about the area. We were on maximum chill out and it certainly made for a relaxing break. The nearby beaches were fantastic to run our crazy cockapoo gang. It’s a really unspoilt part of Brittany and we enjoyed a few trips out to local towns. Highly recommended.

Stunning location, fantastic house

Beautiful house, with spacious grounds which the children thoroughly enjoyed, spending hours on the swings, in the pool and playing with the other outdoor games provided. The house itself is as pictured but was more spacious than the photos let on. The kitchen is extremely well equipment, the beds comfy, the shower powerful and hot and the garden furniture and Bbq a real bonus. The setting for the house is quite special, and so quiet. The owners were friendly and made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble.The beaches in and around the area are stunning. We also loved the table tennis table which is a new addition.An amazing holiday, thank you.

The Best <3

We *l o v e d* our stay in Les Hibous, it is really home away from home. The interieur is chosen with attention to the detail, the cottage is clean and well equipped. We (and especially our dog Benedict) loved the fenced garden with entrance from our living room, the sun loungers and the BBQ. Another highlight is the pool across the yard. The cottage is located outside Plomodiern, so a car is definitely recommended, beaches are 10-15 min away, a huge supermarket around 5 min (all by car). The cherry on the cake are the hosts Tricia and Stewart. They are around whenever needed with good advice on insider tips or just to have a nice chat. If we come back to the Bretagne, we would love to stay again (but longer this time ;)

Lovely rural retreat

Nice and cosy 2 bed room flat with lovely garden and outside dining area. We took our small dog and it was ideal, as the garden had a gated area which kept him enclosed and happy. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and a lovely welcome gesture of a food and wine parcel was a nice touch. The hosts were great as we had a problem with TV and they immediately purchased a new one. The local town was 1km away and quite quiet but with a very well stocked supermarket. 10 mins to local quiet beach and 30 mins from the busier resort of Corzon (which had a great Wednesday market) every other week). We didn't use the pool as my shy teenage daughter was a little reticent to share it with the other younger families in the neighbouring properties. Would definitely recommend.

Hi Lynn and Tom, Many thanks for your review. I'm glad the new tv worked out for you. There is always a technical issue to sort out somewhere! Sorry about your daughter feeling unable to use the pool, my daughters are very shy also, so I do understand. Best wishes, Stewart

Breton Idyll

Stewart and Tricia have created a wonderful environment in which to escape from the fast lane. Even the furnishings and colour scheme are soothing. Our two teenage daughters loved the pool and the freedom of the extensive grounds. Stewart even magicked a trampoline from 'somewhere'! Plomodiern has an excellent supermarket and interesting markets twice a week. The beach at Kervezean (sp?) was a 10 minute drive. Golden sands and surprisingly very warm sea for swimming. Very close for easy trips to our favourite places of Morgat, Quimper and Locronan. Our whippet loved the wild walks straight from the door, where each evening we would go on nature hunts. Surprising sightings included owls, jays, hares, red deer, baby newts, hummingbird hawksmoth and an adder. Our two weeks in the beautiful Breton countryside will keep us going for a long time.

A very nicely situated cottage in an unspoilt area

The cottage is well equipped, stylish and supplied with everything needed to get your holiday started, we were left a bottle of wine and cider, a nice touch, there are supplies of all the basics including washing up liquid, a few dishwasher tabs, basic toiletries and things like a proper coffee machine with filter papers, lots of the things which you find often you have to go out and buy the day you arrive with many rentals. The cottage was warm and we used the log fire in the evenings when it was colder although there are electric radiator heaters for convenience. the TV worked and you could get English channels. It is not far from some splendid beaches and the pizzeria in the village does splendid pizzas and if you want to splash out there is a high class restaurant there also and 'the Oasis' at the beach is very good and patronised by the locals, aim to eat after 7;30 which seems to be the time the locals start.

Fantastic property in peaceful location !

We stayed in Les Hiboux for 2 weeks in early August with our 6 year old son. My mother joined us for our second week and shared the twin room with our son. The accommodation was perfect for us, it was spotless. Stewart and Tricia made us very welcome on arrival and were always available if we needed to ask anything. The cottage was well stocked and there was a generous complimentary supply of fresh produce (milk, butter, coffee, croissants, biscuits, vin rouge, bread etc.) on our arrival. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden behind Les Hiboux whilst our son was enjoying the swings and playing in the garden. We used the BBQ on several occasions. The swimming pool was perfect for us and we all enjoyed it. We traveled by ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo overnight. We were amazed how quiet the roads were from St Malo to the cottage. We stopped at Quintin, approx 90 mins from St Malo, a nice village with ample parking near the church, a playground, and of course a handy boulangerie ! The lovely sandy beaches near the cottage were virtually empty until the locals arrived around 3-4pm. It was perfect. We ate at both L'Ane Rouge and Le Kreiz-Ker in Plomodiern and enjoyed their plats du jours. We also ate at Le Grand Bleu twice as we liked it so much. We were fortunate to see the annual Fete du Menez-Hom in Plomodiern where the locals dressed in traditional clothing and danced, sang and played music processing around the town. We enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already booked to return in 2018 with friends.

Great location in Brittany for exploring

We had a great 9-night stay in Brittany - the location of the house is perfect for exploring lots of local beaches and boulangeries (our favourite was Pain d’Annette!). The check in process was super easy and Stewart was a great host, helping us with recommendations for the local vet ahead of our stay, greeting us at the property after we got in around 10pm and leaving us a lovely welcome pack, and during our stay, when he was very friendly and attentive, bringing more dishwasher tablets and helping us with wood for the log burner which was great. The house pretty much had everything we needed, and overall we had a comfortable stay, though it is a little tired. The bed in the main room was very squeaky, the doors to the garden are a little difficult to manage and there are a lot of weeds in the garden, and although the shower pressure and hot water was great, the shower itself is tired-looking and the shower head kept falling out of its holder. I think there was meant to be a bbq but there wasn’t one in the garden. It was also requested in the house book that we needed to clean the house and hoover and mop before we left - which I think was a bit of a cheeky request, and should’ve been mentioned in the listing. Overall, we had a great holiday though - thanks for having us to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Stewart & Tricia Morpurgo

Host profile image
Originally from Jersey, we have lived in Plomodiern with our two little girls for three years. We fell in love with the beautiful, uncrowded beaches and unspoilt coastline which we found in the area, and decided to live here permanently. We have made friends and enjoy a peaceful way of life, making the most of the wonderful beaches when work permits. We truly feel we have found a little slice of heaven!

Why they chose this property

We love Plomodiern because of its accessability to a whole number of stunning beaches, the nearest of which is just a ten minute drive away on roads that are guaranteed traffic jam free! There is a different beach for every mood: surfing, swimming, rockpooling, kayaking, or you can seek out the little coves accessed only by narrow cliffpaths if you prefer.
We are also within easy reach of the busier beaches on the south coast, such as Pont Aven and Concarneau, for a daytrip, though we always breath a sigh when we get back home to our little idyl!
In summer, our village hosts traditional weekly Breton dances and a vibrant market day, plus the wonderful fete de Menez Hom in August, when visitors from the whole of Brittany wear their local costumes and dance through the streets.

What makes this property unique

With so many unspoilt beaches on our doorstep, find a beach for every mood: swimming, surfing, rockpooling, or discovering little coves. Our gite will suit all who enjoy exploring those havens off the beaten track.
For a daytrip, choose the more touristic beaches at Pont Aven, Concarneau, or Audiern, all just over an hour away. We will provide beach towels and parasols to make packing easier.
Alternatively, relax at the poolside or enjoy our tranquil gardens, which are edged by a pretty stream where kids can potter, and bordered by trees and a small woodland area. We provide sunloungers and barbecues for al fresco eating in luxury. Plenty of outdoor equipment is available plus swings and a trampoline and soft archery, and for the little ones, bikes for supervised cycling, toys and cot/highchair/buggy/carseat.
We have built a heated swimming pool within the walls of one of our beautiful ruined, roofless buildings. A terrace is available at the poolside for sunbathing, screened from other buildings by hedging and shrubbery.
