About the home

New in 2009, Les Huniers is a gite or cottage in the town of La Roche Bernard. Unlike many properties that advertise as being in the sought after location of La Roche Bernard, but are actually some kms away, this gite is in the Vieux Port area of this beautiful town. It is a wonderful location, being just a few paces away from the historic Customs Quay with its quaint restaurants and bars and a 2 min walk from the shops and the old quarter of the town. You can leave the car and walk. Walk to the shops, walk to a bar or restaurant, take a stroll around the Vieux Port after dinner.

The gite is newly furnished with taste and offers luxury accommodation for 4 people in 2 bedrooms . It has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher. Outside is a secluded walled garden and a raised sun terrace

The river Vilaine, nearing the end of its journey to the sea, provides some stunning scenery. Sitting in one of the bijou bars of the old port watching the sun dip down behind the rocky sides of the Vilaine is one of life's great pleasures. Sandy Beaches are about 10km away and there are many scenic local walks. As well as the old port the new marina is a short walk away and the area will have particular appeal to boating enthusiasts. There are some excellent local restaurants. For a special gastronomic experience La Roche Bernard boasts its own Michelin * restaurant. Again this is in walking distance of Les Huniers. A major attraction of this property is that you can leave your car and walk to local amenities. Send us an email for video link of property and surrounding area

The Vilaine is the eastern border of the Morbihan joining the sea at Arzal just below La Roche Bernard. It is a beautiful river with majestic scenery.

“Cosy cottage in excellent location” Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cottage is well located, just a hundred metres from the river. Easy access into town, although rather steep on foot. Cottage well presented, and being new, functioned well. Eating facilities close at hand.
