A big house on the sea

This is an absolutely fantastic house in the best location. It is full of quirky character and family history, overlooks the beach and Aven estuary and one evening we watched the full moon rising over the sea - magical. We were a group of 11 across 3 generations and it worked for all - walkable in 5 mins to the beach and a great beach restaurant. We could also order morning baguettes and croissants from a local shop - also walkable. Névez is a 5 min drive with an interlace, bars, restaurants and tourist office. So much to do in this lovely area and Les Roches is perfectly placed. The house itself was very clean with comfortable beds and good bathrooms. The heated pool was a bonus and extremely well maintained. WiFi was strong and there was an information sheet on arrival with helpful details about the house and local area. Communication with Stephanie, the owner as well as two local contacts was excellent. Overall Les Roche is an exceptional house and we highly recommend.

The house and location is beautiful- the bedrooms and shower/ ensuites were fine and clean. However we were a group of 7 who cook every night - the kitchen was very old and tiered- the sinks blocked easily and there was no plunger to easily clear. The cupboards were full of previous occupants food and opened packets which we had to throw away to make space. The cupboards were also jumbled with many items which didn’t work like food mixers etc. Basically the kitchen needs a total refit to come in line with the price/quality of the Villa. There were some drainage smells at the front of the house that should be looked into. Also there was no instruction manual at the property and the house keeper couldn’t locate it either - simple instructions on where to take waste and recycling. Also no instructions on WiFi existed and we had to call the house keeper and owner. Overall though the house was fine and it’s location beautiful, it just needs a modern and efficient kitchen.

We absolutely LOVED this house! The size, the space, the gorgeous bedrooms, the terrace, the easy access to the beach all made it the most fabulous holiday for us all. We were a mixed age group from us (in our very early seventies!) to grandchildren aged 12-17 and some sensible 40 somethings in between. We walked, we swam, we kayaked, we sailed, we ate, we drank and we talked! Entry and exit were so simple thanks to Livia and any queries swiftly answered by Stephanie by email. Thank you! We will come again.

Nous avons adoré le site exceptionnel à l'embouchure de l'Aven, surplombant la plage Nous avons apprécié l'espace, le grand nombre de chambres et d'équipements sanitaires, les trois salons permettant d'être à la fois nombreux ensemble ( nous étions 12) et de trouver pour chacun des espaces d'intimité et de confort Nous avons adoré l'ambiance de cette maison vaste, pleine de charme et habitée par une histoire , Nous avons aimé le sentiment d'être dans une maison vivante et de ne pas arriver dans un de ces lieux tristes, aseptisés et à l'équipement minimaliste, mais au contraire ici une cuisine magnifiquement équipée ( pas au sens "salon des arts ménagers" mais vrais lieu pour cuisiner pour de grandes familles) De même pour le reste de la maison les quelques dysfonctionnement mineurs observés sont ici avant tout la marque de l'authenticité de cette maison et de son histoire et n'ont jamais gâché notre plaisir: Nous avons enfin apprécié à la fois l'accueil , l'attention portée à nos demandes et la souplesse de la propriétaire et de la personne qui nous a accueilli ; merci à Stephanie et et à Mylène En un mot enfin, merci de nous avoir donné l'impression d'être comme chez nous mais en mieux tous ensemble Un groupe de neurobiologistes en retraite qui espère bien revenir
