A warm welcome from Rhiannon, who couldn't have done more for us. A delightful, listed building which used to be a boulangerie. It is quirky and interesting. We stayed in the room at the top of the house, which is huge with the biggest bed I'd ever seen! All manner of toiletries provided, + free wine, beer, and soft drinks... More

Stayed at the old salt house while on business in the area, the B & B is great. The room was very large and I slept well in the large bed, fridge just out side the bedroom door with FREE wine, beer and soft drink, that was a nice touch. The bathroom has molton brown products, breakfast was 10/10 and... More

We really enjoyed our stay Rhiannon's hospitality was brilliant The rooms are a great size and the bathroom was lovely The only problem was the room was very cold ( there was no one else staying in the house) and also the shower needs updating All in all it was great value for money Thanks Rhiannon

Thank you for taking the time to post a response. I would just like to add that additional free-standing heaters are available to all guests, if the warmth from the central heating is found to be insufficient. Any guest just has to say if they are too cold or hot in the rooms and we are more than happy to... More

We recently returned from a lovely few days in Brittany. It was a spur of the moment decision to return to the beautiful ‘Old Salt House’ near Chateaulin. A quick phone call and we were in. This was our third visit and Rhiannon gave us the most wonderful welcome. She really is a gem. It must be a couple of... More

Totally amazing place and luxurious all round. The hostess Rhiannon was wonderful and helpful and very knowledgable. The area was relaxing and scenic and the property was situated in just the right place for exploring. You would be mad not to visit here . I gather the owners are opening another establishement shortly in Chateauneuf Du Faou again on the... More

I was extremely disappointed to find that the the owner/s of the establishment banked my deposit cheque when we were unable to make our stay here in October. We were not able to make the trip due to Brittany ferries and the disruption to the service caused me all sorts of problems. I am not in a position to be... More

We stayed atvthe Old Salt House for 4 nights in Sept and thought it was just as wonderful as the reviews had told us. It is a beautiful old house full of character and charm and our room, the Cotes d'Armor had a great view of the canal. Port Launay is also a good centre for exploring Finistere. It's notable... More

Having never been to France before, choosing to stay at the Old Salt House was very random and yet it was one of our best decisions! First of all, we felt we were away from a typical tourist destination and staying in a house over three hundred years old in a more residential neighborhood made us feel we had more... More

I came upon the Old Salt House purely by chance whilst scouting the internet looking for a B&B for a short break in Brittany for my partner and myself. What a fantastic find it turned out to be! The accommodation is first class and Rhiannon is a brilliant host. We stayed in the Ille de Vilaine room which had its... More
