The area around Douarnenez is a great base for walks and sightseeing. The headlands, beaches, coastal paths, Douarnenez Bay and the Crozon Peninsula are all about half an hour away. Clos de Botcarn itself is a small, carefully renovated place just 5 km outside town. There are three welcoming, well-equipped gîtes, the owner's house, and a barn with a pétanque court, ping-pong table and a sauna and jacuzzi shared by everyone. The upstairs sloping ceilings give the cottages character, though they can be awkward at times, especially in the shower. That's a pretty minor quibble, though. Nothing's perfect, but this place deserves plenty of praise. Highly recommended!
