Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of Chez Pierrette.
Where Chez Pierrette is and how to get there
Chez Pierrette is in Pont-Croix, Brittany, at 17 rue de la Liberté. It is a small town with character, described by travellers as very pretty and close to Audierne. To make the most of the coast, it is best to come by car.
One guest recommends it to anyone who wants a good time near the Pointe du Raz. The description also lists the Pointe du Van and Quimper, with its departmental museum, among the possible trips. For me, it is a good base if you like to explore from one fixed point.
What the rooms are like
The rooms at Chez Pierrette are comfortable, clean and well arranged. They have a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer, a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Some accommodation also has a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave.
Reviews come back to a few details.
- Very comfortable, good-quality bedding.
- A welcome tray with kettle, tea or coffee.
- Rooms described as cosy, with towels and shower gel.
- A toilet inside the room.
The description also mentions a sauna, a hot tub and a terrace. No traveller talks about them in the reviews I read, so I suggest you confirm these facilities before booking.
What travellers say
On Google, Chez Pierrette has a rating of 4.8 from 46 reviews, which is excellent. Almost all the comments are about the same thing, the welcome from Pierrette and her husband.
Several travellers describe a couple who go out of their way, are available and give very good advice. One of them says they even received tips on surf spots. For a first time in a guest house, that is reassuring, and one person says they were delighted. The atmosphere is family-like, cleanliness is described as perfect, and several would happily have stayed longer.
The breakfast and the crêpes
Breakfast is the other highlight of the house. Travellers describe it as generous, good, fresh and local, with both savoury and sweet options.
What comes up most often are the homemade crêpes, mentioned in many reviews. For me, that is a real reason to choose this place over a more anonymous hotel. If you want a good day out walking, such a start helps.
What to know before you book
Criticism is rare, but I prefer to be honest with you. One old review found the room too small, cleanliness lacking and breakfast average, apart from the crêpes. That review is isolated and old, against many enthusiastic comments, but it is worth mentioning.
- Chez Pierrette is presented as a hotel, but travellers talk about a guest house. Expect a family welcome, not a hotel reception.
- I have no information on parking, a lift or air conditioning. Ask before you come.
- Room sizes can vary from one accommodation to another. Say what you need when you book.
Who it is for
Chez Pierrette suits couples and travellers who like attentive hosts, a good breakfast and the calm of a small Breton town. It is also a good option for anyone heading out to discover the coast, the Pointe du Raz or Audierne.
I would not choose it if you are looking for a place with a restaurant, entertainment or hotel services. Here you come for the welcome and the crêpes.
What to do in Pont-Croix and around
Pont-Croix has lovely walks along the Goyen as far as Audierne, according to travellers. You can also head out to the Pointe du Raz and the Pointe du Van, or go as far as Quimper and its departmental museum. Ask Pierrette, who, according to the reviews, loves giving good advice. If you want to compare another Breton address, Hôtel La Voile in Locmariaquer is another address to compare.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
