Set in the heart of the Crozon Peninsula, with its spectacular views, long sandy beaches and rugged coves, Le Rhun consists of five properties comprising a warm Breton farmhouse, ideal for large families, three cottages and a self-contained apartment. Each property has been carefully restored and equipped to a high standard, combining the original character and features such as old oak beams with modern comfort and charming pine furniture. The houses are set well apart, each with their own terrace areas, for barbecues or sunbathing, and guests are free to wander at will in the wooded grounds and meadows, which are home to a variety of wildlife including deers, foxes and owls. Shared between the five properties is the heated swimming pool, fenced for safety, as well as a large lawned games area, swings, boules pitch and sandpit. The friendly English owner lives nearby and is happy to give help and advice on local places of interest. The Crozon Peninsula is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, with an immense variety of beaches to please all tastes and age groups, from the golden sands of Pentrez to the wild surfing beaches of Lostmarc'h. The port of Camaret, with its seafront of bustling fish restaurants is a welcome haven for sailors from all over the world and a boat trip round the crags of the 'Tas de Pois' (piles of peas) is an unforgettable experience. Riding, golf and tennis in the vicinity, as well as hang gliding for the more adventurous. The area is also steeped in historical and cutural interest, with the ancient druid mountain site of the Menez Hom, and the Abbey of Landevennec (the first Christian Abbey to be founded in Brittany in the fifth century). Walking enthusiasts can discover dolmens and standing stones scattered through the countryside, or explore the headlines of the Pointe de Pen Hir which has a fascinating war museum. During the summer months, the area becomes a veritable festival of music, dance and traditional constume, and gourmets should not miss out on the opportunity to sample the buckwheat pancakes, cider and langoustines fresh from the fishing boat.
