A house near the beach on the Cotes D'Armor

Erquy, on the picturesque north coast of Brittany, is renowned for its beaches, market and seafood. The area offers good walking, horse riding, cycling, golf and water sports. The house and cottage have been recently renovated to provide very comfortable accommodation for up to 12 people, ideal for large or extended families. They share an enclosed garden and are situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, a short walk from the town centre, the beach and the port. There are several bakeries, a supermarket, other shops and banks close by. The house has a spacious living / dining room, a second living room with sofa bed, a well fitted kitchen, four bedrooms, downstairs shower room with WC, separate WC and an upstairs bathroom with bath, shower and WC. We have just added a large conservatory (Veranda) with a further decking outdoor dining area. There is high speed wireless internet in both the house and the cottage with telephone and multi-channel tv. The cottage has a kitchen, living room with sofa bed, shower room with WC and attic bedroom. This cottage can be rented at an additional cost if additional space is required - it is not rented separately to the house. There is also a garage, games room and plenty of off-road parking.


 

We bought Les Charmettes in 2001 and in 2012 we made significant improvements to the main house including a new kitchen and a downstairs shower room. We also built a bathroom onto the cottage and completely renovated the interior to make it into a self-contained holiday home. We have now added a conservatory (Veranda) and outdoor dining area.

 

We first visited Erquy on a cycle touring holiday in the 1970's!

 

We continue to enjoy staying at Les Charmettes with our children, friends and relatives.

We decided to buy a seaside house in a part of France that is easily accessible for long weekends as well as summer holidays. We fell in love with Erquy because of the wonderful coastal scenery, the fact that it has a working port and is not just a holiday resort and because the house itself has a lot to offer.
