Eden & Jean in Brest, Brittany

Eden & Jean Self-Catering

In the pretty town of Morlaix, this family-sized home is a short walk from the harbour in the centre. Here you’ll also find the striking facade of the towering viaduct the town is famous for. It also means bars, restaurants, a train station and supermarkets are all on your doorstep, so stocking up on supplies and stepping out for a drink is a doddle.

The home itself is undeniably stylish with midnight-blue walls against exposed grey brickwork in the open living room. Hardwood floors and wicker lampshades add a touch of boho-chic. The living area is a social spot, with the sleek kitchen, a big dining table and comfy sofas all sharing the same, vast space (it used to be a café). Glass doors open up to the garden where there’s a lawn for the kids to run around and chairs and tables on the terrace for drinks and dining. The bedrooms are all tucked upstairs.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for infants, just ask
*All of the bedrooms are upstairs so this home may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There is only one full bathroom to service four bedrooms, but there are two separate WCs
*There is private parking with this home should you wish to bring a car
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll have your own private entrance here
