Handsome, well-run hotel dating from 1913 surrounded by lush gardens, set at the edge of the estuary of the Odet River about 12 miles south of Quimper. The 16 bright rooms and three cottages feature teak parquet floors, locally themed modern oil paintings, comfortable sitting areas and a blue-and-white nautical décor; baths come with combination tub-showers. Restaurants include one-star Les Trois Rochers for locally sourced seasonal cuisine, plus a casual shoreside bistro specializing in seafood. A sea-facing lounge-bar has a working fireplace and shelves stocked with books on Brittany. Garden chairs overlooking the pretty town of Bénodet and its crescent-shaped beach provide a relaxing setting for afternoon tea.
