Holiday Cottage in Lostmarc’h Brittany
On our recent holiday to Brittany in France we stayed in two stylish holiday homes in the department of Finistere. I discovered Frenchberry whilst searching for family friendly holiday accommodation that provided that little bit extra.
After our first week of holiday at the Kistinic Gatehouse in Quimper we spent the second week in Brittany near the coastal town of Crozon in Lostmarc’h. Located in a small hamlet of beautifully renovated longere properties that are ideally situated less than 10 minutes walk from the beach.
The setting for our Lostmarc’h holiday home was stunning. Situated in a protected conservation area, it is surrounded by thoughtfully restored stone cottages with views of the Celtic Sea.

Our daily activities involved walking, swimming, playing on the beach, watching surfers ride the waves, picnics on the sand and enjoying the fresh sea air at the stunning beaches of Lostmarc’h and La Palue.
The beach town of Morgat is a few minutes drive away where there are several lovely restaurants where we enjoyed crêpes and moules frites.

The location of this holiday home is unique and perfect for families who love the beach.
Benodet Brittany
Whilst we were staying in the idyllic Frenchberry Kistinic Gatehouse near Quimper we took the opportunity to visit the coastal town of Benodet.
Benodet is located in Finistere in southwest Brittany and is less than a 30 minute drive from Quimper. This truly beautiful seaside resort is perfect for families and I thoroughly recommend a visit if you are in this region of Brittany.
The beach is pristine with crystal clear water and the sea is dotted with boats.
The shallow and calm water is great for children who want to swim in the sea.
Imogen loved the sunshine and playing in the sand and water.
Mummy and Daddy helped to build sandcastles.
Breton architecture adorns the coast with houses benefiting from the sea view.
Sea Fun at Days Bay
Some of the best beaches in Wellington are found in Days Bay near Eastbourne. There are cafes, restaurants, shops and several stretches of beautiful coastline with warm clear water.
The East by West Ferry takes passengers from Days Bay across the sea to Wellington city in 20 minutes. It would be the perfect location to live if you work in the city and want a relaxed lifestyle with the beach on your doorstep. There are some incredible walks in the Eastbourne area which is surrounded by hills and New Zealand bush.
