Disappointing

Small campsite,staff on hand were helpful and polite and showed up straight away if you needed anything. Accommodation was tired, dated and not particularly comfortable. We were sited under a conker tree with less sunshine than others and with conkers falling from the trees the noise felt like we were... being stoned regularly. A BBQ was provided,we had a gas one which worked reasonably well but others had charcoal types. It was nice to eat on the decking but the constant shade was disappointing. No room to park car alongside so had to put it further down the road although others had space to do so at thiers.
No organised entertainment at all on site and no information provided about there being any in contradiction to the advertised brochure so we just did our own thing.
Swimming pool was a nice area but never saw a lifeguard at any time. Beach area was also very nice with nice sand, rock pools and the sea was of a type you could take a relaxing dip if you fancied to. Just a short walk from the campsite.
Restaurant was basic, menu limited but expensive. Bar was very simple and boring. Shop stock was limited and small but there was a supermarket in nearby Névez.
Facilities were a mix, a decent tidy ablutions building and laundry facility but play equipment was dated and tired. Roadways had high hedging and could be narrow too and care needed to avoid pedestrians and other cars when rounding corners.
Local areas, interesting to visit but restaurants were shut a lot of the time and were also very expensive and could be hit or miss with quality of food.
Dog poo on the streets and play areas was quite obvious and not a very touristy thing really. Dogs being allowed in cafés and restaurants seemed to be acceptable there too. Not my thing.
Plenty of free parking about but some were pay & display.
Roads were quite tight through the
towns and villages.
Roscoff town was worth a visit, lots of restaurants and gift shops in a lovely sandstone building setting, so very useful if you have time to kill before your ferry home.
Overall, I felt disappointed with the holiday, I didn't feel relaxed, facilities were tired, entertainment was missing and dining out was expensive only the pool and beach were the upside.
Most locals were helpful with the language barrier if you attempted to speak French so generally that was overcome positively.
