Dated and unsafe
Tregastel is a beautiful place, but I wouldn't rent this particular property again. As others have mentioned, the house is dated, with a very old kitchen and bathroom. In particular, the gas stove is ancient and there are no fire safety measures, no CO2 alarm, and I only found the smoke alarm hidden in a drawer near the end of our stay. As the only escape route from the bedrooms is a creaking wooden staircase, it is negligent not to have alarms fitted. The "enclosed" garden is also unsafe for small children - it has large gaps in the hedges which lead on to a road with traffic coming around blind corners, and there is a well at the end of the garden covered only by a flimsy-looking wire fence.
More generally, the standard of accommodation was rather poor for the price we paid. There was wifi, but it wasn't very reliable and kept cutting out. The beds were uncomfortable and unusually short, the bedding smelled damp and made us sneeze. The parasol outdoors was tattered and the deck chairs mildewy. The sofa cushions and rug had not been cleaned for a long time. In general, a bit old and tatty, and not in a particularly "charming" way.
There were extra charges for linen, towels and cleaning, and once we had paid the cleaning fee we were told we would actually have to do much of the cleaning ourselves (beds, floors, dishes, table, bins...). Although we complied, the owner then tried to take our entire deposit, claiming that there were crumbs on the sofa, that we had broken a lock (how??) and also broken her washing machine (it was working when we left).
I've rented about 20 houses in France over recent years, and this one doesn't compare well. I've never lost any deposit previously, and never paid nearly so much for a property of this quality. If you read the owner's replies to some other reviews, you will perhaps get a sense of her attitude towards her guests. You have been warned!
