Poulmarvezen is at the end of a very pretty lane, there is no passing traffic, so it is very quiet and tranquil. Each of the 5 cottages has its own exclusive area of garden and share a large pool. There is a woodland walk leading to a stream and picnic area.
Le Relais, built in 1729, sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms. On the ground floor there is a very large open plan lounge with dining area and fully fitted kitchen, tiled throughout with rose-coloured terracotta tiles, which contrast nicely with the clean white walls and 300 year-old beams, and the prie-dieu used by pilgrims for washing and praying. The lounge area has comfortable sofas and pieces of Victorian pine furniture, and the smart kitchen area is complete with single-drainer sink unit, fridge-freezer, gas cooker, and microwave oven. On the first floor there is a spacious double bedroom with en-suite shower room, a twin room, and on a slightly higher level a second double bedroom and second shower room. Very high white-boarded ceilings and all roof timbers on show, full of character.
The villages of Ploerdut and Lignol are each three kilometres distant and offer restaurants, bars and boulangeries. Guemène-sur-Scorff is ten minutes away by car and offers supermarkets, banks, a wider range of shops, and even more restaurants.
The area is ideal for walking, cycling, fishing, painting and drawing, photography, not to mention eating, and there is a multitude of interesting places to visit within half an hours drive, including the mysterious Chapelle St. Barbe (ring the massive bell), St. Fiacre, Le Faouet market hall, Les Rochers Du Diable (white water kayaking), the pretty Vallee-du-Scorff (picnic here), the Lac de Guerladan (boating from a tree-shaded beach), and many local street markets, notably Hennebont, Rostrenen, and further afield Vannes on a Wednesday, all ideal for gourmets and photographers. The picturesque, rugged coastline of Southern Brittany with its sandy beaches and coves is 40 kilometres away. There are many markets to visit selling delicious fresh vegetables and fruits with wonderful cheese stalls, local bread and much more.
