Renting a holiday house in Kerbors,Brittany, breathtaking views

Quick presentation of our new holiday home in Brittany, at KERBORS, in the department of COTES d'ARMOR. It will be your favourite holiday rental !

UP TO SIX PEOPLE

A little bit of history ... not a common story ! 

When we bought this house, we were told by the estate agent that it was like a semaphore or lighthouse, with wide views over the estuary of the Jaudy and the sea . He was not lying and we couldn't help falling in love with the place ! Also it is very quiet, and we like it when it's quiet ..

In fact, we had just seen and signed for  a FIRST house 17 km away ... but when we saw this one by the sea with its exceptional views , we couldn't help buying this one too ! The prices were very different of course, the value of the one by the sea  much higher because of this beautiful situation ... So after a quick return to our place in Tours to see what our banks could suggest ... and finally we bought both houses, as choosing only one was just impossible ! The one NOT by the sea became our secondary home for 14 years ... and was rented to tourists too, it helped pay for the cost of buying two houses!  

On the other hand  buying "Le Sémaphore" meant a huge mortgage and so the house   was rented on a yearly basis (loan  interests can then be deduced ) ;but  what a shame it was not being able to benefit from it, only exceptionnally, between two tenants, which rarely happened  ! 

So when the latest tenant said he was going to leave early 2016, we were delighted, this was the right time for us to get it back ! We decided to keep it for ourselves, also to promote  it as a holiday home ... we were sure it would become quickly very popular with tourists looking for a beautiful place to stay !

We started refurbishing it, and we thought it would  be ready for mid-June 2016, but of course it wasn't ... We worked really hard till the last minute, for the first guests in August! 

As it is also our  secondary home, it had to be  nice and well-equipped, we like our comfort and nice things!

A short description now ? well, the pictures will tell you a lot too ... 

Some work is still in progress in 2017 and 2018, mainly outside , with new projects ...

- 1 km from the village of KERBORS : Restaurant/Bar/ grocery ( fresh bread and croissants !) 

- 3 kms from PLEUBIAN, nice village center, lovely church , bakery , chemist's, supermarket ...
