It is within close proximity to a small town with supermarkets, a doctor’s surgery (English speaking), dentist, schools, pharmacy, bakeries, banks, post office, newsagents, hairdressers, garages, pizzeria, creperies, bars, campsite, river and a park. The business provides an excellent income from a very successful business which is already established and fully operational in a highly desirable area, famous for its tourist attractions. It lies within easy driving distance of the beautiful Pink Granite coast to the north, the Gulf of Morbihan to the south and the superb surfing beaches to the west, and only about 1.5 hours away from major ports and airports.

Alternatively it sleeps 12 comfortably and could be let as a gite for about £1800 a week in high season.
