Overview
In an enviable location just a short stroll from the beach, this contemporary and charming home, built into a rock, enjoys stunning views of the Finistère coastline in the one of the most beautiful parts of Brittany.
Head straight upstairs to be wowed by the spacious living and dining room with leather sofas and an open-plan American style kitchen all surrounded by perfect sea and countryside views. There are two balconies where you can take in the perfect vistas or simply relax inside in this glorious space surrounded by light and comfort.
On the ground floor there are three charming bedrooms and two bathrooms with impressive features such as a body-power shower and spa-bath. Two of the bedrooms lead to the pretty gardens which feature a decked al-fresco dining terrace and a BBQ, ideal for long summer lunches or an evening under the starry sky. Outside you will also find a slide and swing for little guests whilst young and old will appreciate the bikes and table tennis available to use.
The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the indoor heated swimming pool, making Le Grand Rocher ideal for all seasons. This is a real touch of luxury in this lovable and inviting home.
You can wander down to the beach or stroll to the little fishing port which has boat excursions departing in July and August. There is a surf school within a couple of minutes or a great range of watersports from kayaks to kite-surfing, not to mention sand-yachting, all within a short drive.
There are stunning beaches across this part of the Finistère coastline, not only within walking distance but also a short drive such as arguably one of Brittany’s most beautiful beaches only 4.5km away with turquoise coloured waters.
Those in search of activity can play tennis nearby or head to Carantec for golf with a sea-view, as well as hiking, cycling and horse-riding opportunities across this magnificent coastline. The thoughtful owners have even provided fishing jackets, boots, a net and a rake for those keen on sea-fishing, such a popular pastime in this region.
For the perfect day out, head to the delightful town of Roscoff and sample some of their local delicacies such as seafood soup and onions or soak up the vibrant atmosphere at the weekly Saturday market in Morlaix, a wonderful historical place to explore.
Whether you are looking for towns and cities full of charm and character or idyllic beaches and wondrous watersports, this part of the Breton coastline will be sure to enchant guests staying at Le Grand Rocher.

Location
About the surrounding area of Le Grand RocherJust a 150m walk from the sandy beach and a little further to a beach-side restaurant, Le Grand Rocher enjoys an enviable location, built into the rock with elevated sea-views, especially from the top floor.
You can walk down to a pretty little fishing port where you an admire the old lighthouse or take a boat excursion on certain days in July and August.

There are stunning beaches across this part of the Finistère coastline, not only within walking distance but also a short drive such as one of Brittany’s most beautiful beaches only 4.5km away with turquoise coloured waters. Here you will also find a lovely park with mini-golf, tennis courts and a little playground.
Keen hikers can find many beautiful coastal walks and wild landscapes of the Breton coast or follow part of the GR34 coastal footpath nearby. There are some wonderful cycling paths, including the route from Roscoff to Concarneau for the most experienced as well as some gentler trails along the coast as well as inland.
Sports lovers can have a game of pitch and putt at the local golf course (7km) or head to the course in Carantec (18km) for a golf in a beautiful setting by the sea. There is also the possibility of riding horses along the beaches within a short drive near Saint-Pol-de-Léon or Plouescat.
For a unique experience there is even a flying club in Morlaix (27km) where you can experience the stunning region from the air! There are of course many boat excursions nearby if this is your preferred mode of transport.
Kids will love the animals at La Ferme d'Eden (15km), open from April to August, with more than 80 species of animals including reindeers and yak, which could be combined with a trip to Château de Kerjean with 19 acres of grounds. You will also find bowling and go-karting in Morlaix (27km).
The charming town of Roscoff is only 14km away with its spas for those looking thalassotherapy or enjoy some excellent restaurants with seafood soup and the Roscoff onions a speciality!
Morlaix is also a beautiful town to visit with half-timbered houses, historical lanes to explore, a spectacular viaduct and a delightful harbour. There’s a lovely market on a Saturday which continues throughout the year.
Alternatively, head south to the naval city of Brest (51km) with its fantastic port and home to the brilliant Océanopolis, an ocean discovery centre. There are some great museums in the city as well as the famous Château de Brest and the beautiful National Botanical Conservatory Gardens.

Region
Brittany is famed chiefly for its beaches, and with so much coastline to explore it’s certainly one of the best reasons to visit the region. But there’s more to Brittany than sun, sea and sand, and while a good chunk of our villas and chateaux in Brittany are found next to the coast the ones further inland are just as tempting. Want to get the inside scoop on Brittany before you book? You’ll find our full Brittany travel guide below, full of tips, inspiration and great things to do.
