About this property
House sleeps 9. Spectacular sea views. 300yds sandy beach. Large garden. WiFi.
Ar Sparfel is a self-catering house with 5 bedrooms, 3 with twin beds,1 with double/twin beds and 1 with a single bed - sleeping up to 9. There are two bathrooms, one with bath/shower/basin/loo and one with shower/basin/loo and a separate cloakroom with loo and basin. Wifi. A large heated drying cupboard. Dishwasher, Clothes washer. Large living room with seating for 9 persons and dining area with french doors leading to paved terrace with barbeque. Spectacular sea views from the house & terrace look straight out to Les Tas de Pois islands and many lighthouses which can be spotted winking at night. The sunsets are magnificent from the terrace and house. We built it in 1978 at the edge of a tiny unspoilt cliff top hamlet away from noise and traffic approached by a small road that is marked 'dead end' and only for the use of the residents. Ar Sparfel is the last house in the village. The house is easy to keep clean and the beds are made up for your arrival. The rent includes all outgoings and rentals are from Saturday to Saturday. Large safe garden for children to play with large lawn brilliant for ball play. Take the track from the house and the sandy beach (Porzh Mel) is 300 yds a 5 minute walk. 15 mins walk along the cliff path in the other direction takes you to one of the best surfing beaches in France, Lostmarc'h which adjoins La Palue. Local facilities include tennis, riding, sailing, kite and wind surfing. There are classes for all ages in Kayaking, Paddle Stand Up Boarding, Sailing and Surfing at the Centre Nautique de Crozon-Morgat (see their website). Drive 8 mins to the market town of Crozon with its fish and veg market most mornings, shops, supermarkets and pretty square with church and cafe. There are at least 3 supermarkets nearby and everything one could ever want that is French! It is the same distance to the seaside sailing resort of Morgat. The medieval town of Locronon with its ancient church is a 35 min drive. It is 40 mins to the medieval city of Quimper with its wonderful cathedral and Quimper Pottery factory tours as well as cafes, bars and restaurants. There are many seafood restaurants in the area and an abundance of sandy beaches suitable for different ages. Our village, Kerabars, is 65 miles from Roscoff, 160 miles from St. Malo, 280 miles from Caen and 270 miles from Cherbourg. The area is beautifully mild in the winter and the house is double glazed on all windows and heating in every room. From Ar Sparfel you look out at a spectacular view of the Atlantic, Les Tas de Pois (islands) and the Point de Dinan. A 5 minute walk, from the house down a track takes you to our beach (Porzh Mel) which is ideal for surfing, collecting mussels at low tide with many rock pools for children to play. There are wonderful cliff walks in either direction. The peninsular has a temperate climate. In the mild spring, gorse and broom flare golden and there are carpets of primroses and wild flowers. From June to September it can at times get incredibly warm. In the autumn the cliffs are covered with purple heather & gorse. The villagers say snow is unknown and frost almost as rare. The little Port of Morgat is 8 minutes drive away and Crozon, the market town, the same distance. Things to do: Eating at the little seafood restaurants is a great experience. You will be faced by Plateau des Fruits de Mer, Coquillages, Crabes and Crevettes and home seems far away! To work off the excesses - run or walk along the cliff tops in either direction from the house and/or swim and surf in the sea. Diving Clubs, Windsurfing and Sailing abound at Morgat, and Camaret sur Mer, a well known port to English sailors is a15 minute drive away. There is so much to offer from small children to teenagers. Tennis with all weather courts and indoor courts in Crozon and bicycle hire from Crozon and Morgat. Golf is 40 minutes away at Golf de Brest Iroise with 18 spectacular holes.

The house ande the whole place is just wunderful. We go there for many years now and its allways perfectly prepared. You couldn't find a place like this anywhere else. so close to the sea and a stunning view from outside the house. lots of things to do there if you like beeing outside in nature or visiting the small villiges around.

The property exceeded expectations, offering stunning views and easy access to beautiful beaches, all set near a calm village. The dramatic stormy weather added to the charm, while the nearby fishing spots and friendly neighbors made the stay even more special. It was creating a perfect balance of relaxation, nature, and local character. Overall, it was a memorable and picturesque getaway.
Our group had - once again - an amazing time in the beautiful nature in Kerabars and inside and around the house. It's calm and remote. Perfect to relax.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your review. So pleased you all had a great time with lots of surfing! Annabel.
This perfect place is off the beaten path but just steps away from the GR and hiking trails for miles. The house is cozy but spacious. This was our second visit here as a family and we hope very much to be back. The owner is gracious and quick to answer any questions. We are so grateful to her for sharing this beautiful place.

We had a wonderful time in this extremely beautifully located house. the weather and the sea showed up from all sides. A generally very exciting place that offers a lot of activities. But it's best to leave the car behind and visit the nearby cliffs and beaches on foot, watch birds, or visit Crozon or Morgat by bike. The furnishings of the house are a bit old, but that doesn't matter. Everything is there and everything works. you can also surf.

Lovely holiday home at fantastic location and wonderful view
The house is perfect for families/friends, with enough bedrooms and bathrooms/toilets. The living area might be a bit small if one needs to stay inside with nine people all the time, but we do not know really since we lived outside as we had really non-Breton hot weather! It was even too hot to have lunch at the picnictable without a parasol. We mentioned this to the owner and the next day we were provided with a big parasol; very helpful indeed! The interior of the house is not brand new, but it has a cosy atmosphere and the beds are fine (although with a length of 1.90 a bit short for tall people like the most of us 😃). The great attraction of this house is the location and the magnificent view. One can start walking from the house along the GR 34 or just go for a swim less than ten minutes walk to the beach. Also a great location for surfers with La Palue and Lostmarch close by.
We enjoyed our stay very much and certainly would like to come back!

Ar Sparfel
We have spent two fantastic holidays with friends at Ar Sparfel and hope to go again soon. The location is wonderful, five/ten minutes walk from a small but quiet beach and at the end of a quiet road so virtually traffic free which is so relaxing especially with small children. When the tide is in on the small beach there are various other bigger beautiful beaches close by within easy cycle or drive.The garden is large and surrounds the house. It is mainly grass with both sun and some shade which was perfect for toddlers/babies to enjoy : my son learnt to walk at Ar Sparfel and on the little beach close by. The view from the garden is stunning (especially the sunsets). The house is comfortable, attractive, well equipped and clean. The various paintings on the walls throughout the house provided endless dinner discussions. We took sea kayaks, surf kayaks, snorkels and bikes with us because it is a brilliant place to explore by bike and boat, plus some of the local beaches get some of the best surf in Europe. There is a network of walking and cycling paths across the peninsular which we really enjoyed. You can hire bikes in Morgat 15 mind drive away. The aquarium in Brest and the swimming pool with water slide at Morgat are excellent for any rainy days. You do need a car if you are staying at this property to get to the supermarket etc but we were quite happy spending our days messing about in the garden and playing around on the beach so used our vehicles as little as possible which was lovely. A very relaxing place to stay.
Unser dreiwöchiger Familienurlaub an diesem traumhaft gelegenen Fleckchen Erde war wunderbar erholsam…Spaziergänge zu den Pointes der Halbinsel von der Terrasse aus, das Meer mit seinen Stränden in fußläufiger Nähe, Ausflugsziele in guter Erreichbarkeit….
In dem persönlich eingerichtete Haus haben wir uns schnell sehr wohl gefühlt.

Hervorragend für schönste Wanderungen entlang den Klippen. Auch das ornitologische Erlebnis kam nicht zu kurz. Das Highlight bildete ein Seehund, den wir vom Strand her beibachten konnten. Kulinarisch wurde mit frischem Fisch für höchstleistung gesorgt.
L´emplacement de la maison est vraiment unique avec une vue à couper le souffle. L´équipement est parfait avec tout ce qu´il faut pour y passer même plusieurs semaines. L´ accueil et la remise da la maison au départ se sont parfaitement déroulés. Nous avons vraiment apprecié le temps au Sparfel et espérons revenir bientôt et avec plus de temps.
Its a very nice house with big garden at the most beautiful place. Very close to the sea and a very interessting location to discover. Huge cliffs und sandbeaches, good food, beer and very comfortable to rent, check in and out.
Wonderful location with easy access to cliff walks, cycle paths and sandy beaches. Fabulous terrace for eating outside and sunsets over the ocean. Good living space inside for families.
Der Aufenthalt im Haus war perfekt. Wir hatten die schönsten Ferien seit langem. Das Haus mit seinem grossen Garten, der unvergleichlichen Aussicht und der nähe zu mehreren Stränden sind so kaum irgendwo anders zu finden. Auch die Organisation und Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin sind extrem einfach. Vielen Dank!

Einmaliges Haus, in einmaliger Lage auf einmaliger Halbinsel in der Bretagne
Am "Ende der Welt" in "Finisterre" befindet sich ein ganz besonderer Ort mit dem man am Ende des Weges des Weilers "Kerabars" gar nicht rechnet. Ein gemütlich eingerichtetes Haus, keine 10 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt von einer herrlichen Badebucht mit tobender Brandung und beeindruckenden Felsformationen ermöglich schon eine erste Erfrischung in den Wellen am Morgen vor dem Frühstück. Das Haus, welches auch für größere Familien geeignet ist, bildet eine hervorragende Basis für unzählige Tagesausflugsmöglichkeiten auf der Halbinsel Crozon. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten von Kultur bis sportlichem Aktivurlaub (z.B. Wassersport, Wanderungen, Klettertouren etc.) sowohl für Kinder und Erwachsene lassen sich in einer halben Stunde bis maximal 1 Stunde erreichen. In zwei Wochen ist es dabei trotz der kurzen Entfernungen leider nicht möglich alle angepeilten Ausflugsziele zu besuchen, da das Angebot derart vielfältig ist. Auf dem Rückweg von den Ausflügen gibt es in Crozon und den Nachbarorten die Möglichkeit in den umfangreich bestückten französischen Supermärkten den Kühlschrank und Grill ausgiebig auszustatten. Um sich nach Ausflügen zu erfrischen und für lange Grillabende neue Kraft zu tanken sind die nahe Badebucht aber auch die weiteren Strände der Umgebung eine hervorragende Möglichkeit. Die Krönung jeden Abends waren am Grill die langen und späten Sonnenuntergänge bei wohlschmeckenden französischen Weinen mit Baguette und gesalzener Butter zu genießen und die Tage ausklingen zu lassen. Die Aussicht vom Haus auf das Meer und auf den "Ponte de Dinan" mit der vorgelagerten Felsinselgruppe die aufgrund ihres Aussehens als "Tas de Pois" also "Erbsenhaufen" bezeichnet werden, ist einmalig und lässt jeden Abend zu einem neuen Urlaubshöhepunkt werden.

Wunderbare Lage, nur wenige Meter zu schönen Stränden
Nach etwas turbulenter Ankunft - wir kamen eine Stunde zu früh, da wir uns auf die Ankunftszeit bei Home-Away verlassen hatten (16.00 Uhr) in der Beschreibung des Hauses jedoch die Ankunfstzeit nicht vor 17.00 Uhr angegeben war, was wir leider nicht gelesen hatte - haben wir in dem Haus eine wunderschöne Woche verbracht

Ein Haus.... das uns sehr gefallen hat, weil es eine Seele hat. Wir haben uns dort so wohl gefühlt & der Abschied fiel uns sehr schwer. Hierher möchten wir auf jeden Fall wiederkommen, denn es entspricht genau unseren Vorstellungen.
For us, this house is a special house, because it is in every corner .... feel the love with which this house was planned.
Everything is organized and also our thanks to Anni ..... who greeted us warmly. When booking was thought of everything & very well organized.
A house .... which we liked very much, because it has a soul. We felt so comfortable there & the farewell was very difficult. We definitely want to come back here, because it is exactly what we want.

Ein Kleinod an der bretonischen Küste
Ar Sparfel ist ein wunderbares Familienferienhaus. Familiengeschichte ist spürbar, und zugleich auch einladend für Gäste. An alles ist im Haus gedacht. Das an sich nicht grosse Haus ist sehr gut eingerichtet. Dazu gehört ein wunderschöner Garten, von dem die Wanderwege der Küste erkundet werden können. Zwei Strände, einer mehrere hundert Meter vom Haus entfernt und ein grösserer Richtung Süden sind bequem auf Naturwegen zu erreichen.
Wir haben den Ort im Oktober 2018 besucht. Das Wetter war überwiegend mild, auch wenn der Wind zeitweise bis 50km/h blies. Die Natur zeigte sich mit ihrer herbstlichen Farbenpracht - das Heidekraut war verblüht und die Felder färbten sich besonders in der Abendsonne in einem violett-bräunlichem Kleid.

Why they chose this property
Having holidayed with our 3 small children several years running, we found our favourite beach at the end of a country lane leading to nowhere except for a small Breton hamlet. We bought a field overlooking the sea and in 1977 built a house where we have spent our holidays every year since.
What makes this property unique
Spectular sea view. WiFi. Terrace to watch sunsets. Close to many sandy beaches. walking for 20mins from our house takes you to the famous surfing beaches of La Palue and Lostmarc'h where the annual Surfing Competitions take place. Attractive countryside and small farming villages. Our sandy beach is 5 mins walk from the house. The house is set back from the cliff paths and is in the area that is a designated area of beauty. A 20 min drive takes you to Camaret, the French Port where there are many seafood restaurants. It is a family house sleeping 9 with two bathrooms, separate cloakroom and large drying cupboard & outside line. Large grassed garden area for children to play. The house is the last one in the village up a dead end road designated to the residents so it's very quiet with no dangers of passing traffic. Our beach is utterly uncrowded consisting even in High Season of mostly the residents in the village and us! Masses to do for young children and teenagers. There is a brilliant Nautique Centre de Crozon-Morgat at Morgat where you can fix up classes in just about everything nautical! You can go riding along the beaches with the local riding school or bicycling along the cliff paths. The walks are absolutely magnificent and at all times of the year the gorse or heather seems to be out.
