About the home

Set in a hamlet of just 10 properties near the market town of Pleyben in Western Brittany, our house is about 100 years old with lots of character. Since buying the house we have decorated, modernised and furnished throughout to bring it up to a high standard without losing its charm and character.

Keriok is a lovely quiet location, suitable for families or groups of people alike for a great holiday. Sandy beaches just 30 minutes away, with rockpooling for the kids, or surfing for the more energetic. Beautiful walks and cycle rides down by the pretty canal, salmon fishing on the Aulne River or on the canal approximately ½ a mile away, and good golf courses within 30 to 45 minutes drive. The house sleeps between 2 -12 people in a 6 bedroom house, plus there is a cot for a baby. The 6th bedroom is used primarily for a games/chill out room.

The Brittany / Finistere region

The house is situated in the hamlet of Keriok in the region of Finistere, in the West of Brittany. It is a few miles away from the market town of Pleyben and near the Parc Regional D’Armorique. The landscape is reminiscent of Cornwall and Devon with gently rolling hills with forests, interspersed with Dartmoor like moorland.

The coastline is like Cornwall and has wonderful sandy beaches, great rock pools and some rugged dramatic rocky sections. There are nice fishing villages dotted around the coast. Quimper is 20 minutes away to the South, Brest is about 30 minutes away to the Northwest and Chateaulin is about 10 minutes West.

Weather: In general the weather is dryer and warmer than the English South Coast and is often much better.

The Gouezec / Pleyben area

Beaches: There are a number of nearby beaches: Pentrez, Douarnenez within 30 minutes, Benodet, Fouesnant or Crozon within 40 minutes, South Coast beaches within 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Shopping: There is ample local shopping at Cloitre Pleyben and at Pleyben where there are all the local shops you would expect in a small French town plus a Lidl and an Intermarche supermarket. For more choice there is great shopping in Quimper, Brest and Chateaulin.

Eating Out : Pleyben has a selection of restaurants and bars, many family run. They all have good food and are reasonably priced. You can also find more in Chateaulin, Quimper, Brest and most small villages near the coast have good seafood.

- Salmon Fishing at Chateaulin, canal fishing locally (1/4 mile walk)
- Beautiful Canal walks and cycle paths locally, or at Chateaulin and elsewhere
- There is boat hire close by at Pont-Coblant on the river Aulne, and boat and cycle hire on the river Aulne at Chateauneuf, where there is also indoor swimming.

For architecture or history the choices are vast – see the magnificent church at Pleyben, just 10 minutes away, or if you feel adventurous you will be stunned by the chateau at Josselin, particularly the scene from the riverside, and not to mention the cobbled streets and market places which create a fantastic ambience. (It is approx. 2 hours drive, but worth it and would be my tip for a day trip – Phil)

Guestbook for 100 year old House in Keriok

Hi Sue,
yes we had a great holiday. The house is excellent and the location is lovely. I don't think the kids have ever been so close to nature with corn and wheat growing all around, grasshopper, bats everywhere. They went to mass in Pleyben church and to fest noz beneath the stars in Spezet and Cloiste de Pleyben, played with Daniel's kids up the way, a picked kilos of blackberries and elderberries from the hedgerows. They had a whale of a time.

Thanks to Kim for setting the house up so well, all the sleeping arrangements were great and the bread, butter and jam were very welcome on arrival. The games were really appreciated.
You have a great house there and I hope you venture goes well.
Many thanks and best wishes
Patrick
