La Pointe du Grouin

Brittany


Cracking sea views are first to greet you at this family-owned abode poised right by Pointe du Grouin, but service can be harried. The 15 rooms are bright, comfy and designed to harmonise with the sea and sky just outside your window; all rooms have a sea view and some have a terrace. There's an attached restaurant.
