We stayed at Madam Platel's house for the second time in April 2019.
The house is very comfortable and really well equipped and beautifully presented. Everything was spotlessly clean.
The house is attached to the family house but is entirely independent. There is a shared driveway behind electrically operated gates with space to park. The patio area is at the front but the family have their own sitting and BBQ area around the corner so you are mostly private, with the occasional family member walking by.
Downstairs is an unusually well equipped kitchen and dining area, and a comfortable sitting area, and a downstairs loo.
First floor has a lovely bathroom and a large bedroom, very comfortable double bed. Top floor has another bedroom with two singles, but note sloping roof means if not ideal for very tall people.
The thick stone walls meant the house was cool when we stayed in the summer of 2015, and this year when we arrived in an unusually cool April, the central heating made the house lovely and warm. There is a separate store room attached where BBQ equipment or beach toys or bikes could be stored.
M Platel has a few words of English so having some French is useful but not essential. She was very welcoming and very helpful, but allows you your space.
St Pol de Leon is a nice old town but don't come looking for nightlife. There are a few nice restaurants including the Michelin starred Pomme d'Api which is really friendly and worth a meal, especially the midweek lunch which is a steal. Booking essential. SuperU supermarket is literally just around the corner.
Very pleasant stay, M Platel is helpful and kind. Ideal spot for a couple or couple with two kids, or four adults.
Highly recommended, and we will be back.
