Ty Guen is a sunny west facing breton style 3 storey detached house in a quiet position just 500 metres from the centre of the thriving holiday location of Audierne with all its bars and restaurants.

The property is situated in the heart of Brittany close to many sandy beaches and within 10 minutes walk from the centre of town. In the nearby town of Esquibien can be found a swimming pool/leisure pool, a baker's and 2 supermarkets.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ty Guen - the facilities were excellent and the property was ideally located for the town centre and beaches. Audierne is a very picturesque town. Highly recommended.
