Ty Héolik

This lovely 17th century farmhouse for 7 has been carefully restored, retaining some excellent features from the past which, combined with modern necessities make it a comfortable and pleasant holiday home. There are antiques from this region of Brittany, including a display of Quimper pottery. Ty Héolik means sunny house in Breton, and it is well-named, with a south facing terrace overlooking a verdant valley. The property is set in well-tended grounds with its own swimming pool. The countryside is dotted with pretty villages with ancient granite-spired churches. Nearby Audierne has sandy beaches and water sports and miles of sea-side paths to explore. Here are wild, wave-washed rocks, fishing ports where you can buy from the days catch on the quay-side, and lighthouses dramatically punctuating the vistas.
