In Brittany, Driing brings together holiday rentals offered directly by their owners, from the Gulf of Morbihan to the tip of Finistère and the Emerald Coast. With ferries from Portsmouth and Plymouth landing at Saint-Malo and Roscoff, it is one of the easiest regions of France to reach from the UK. The median price is €85 per night (typically €70 to €230). For properties also listed on Airbnb or Booking.com, booking direct works out on average 15% cheaper for the same home.

Why book direct in Brittany

Every property on this page is booked directly with its owner, with no platform commission added to what you pay. The saving is real: for holiday rentals in the region that are also listed on Airbnb or Booking.com, the direct price is on average 15% lower for the same home on the same dates. Over a week by the ocean, that often adds up to hundreds of euros.

The price you see is the one set by the host, with no middleman between you and the person welcoming you. Same home, better price.

Where to stay: the Morbihan, Finistère and the Emerald Coast

The region is built around three areas that most travellers look for:

• The Gulf of Morbihan and Carnac, from La Trinité-sur-Mer to Ploemel and Guidel: a stone's throw from the beaches, the standing stones and the harbours.
• Finistère and Cornouaille, from Concarneau and Plomeur to Plouescat and Kerlouan: coves, wild headlands and seaside towns, close to the Roscoff ferry.
• The Emerald Coast (Côtes-d'Armor), around Saint-Cast-le-Guildo: seaside resorts and long beaches near Saint-Malo, with Lake Guerlédan inland.

Types of property and prices

Properties range from B&Bs in coastal villages to family houses close to the beaches, as well as traditional Breton longhères and gîtes in the countryside.

Prices reflect this variety:

• Apartment or small gîte: around €70 to €90 per night
• Family house: €100 to €180 per night
• Large house (groups, seafront): more, depending on the season

The most common amenities are Wi-Fi, free parking, a barbecue and a garden; some houses are just a few minutes' walk from the beach.

What to see in Brittany

The highlights are easy to reach from most properties:

• The Gulf of Morbihan and its islands
• The Carnac standing stones
• The walled town of Concarneau and the Pointe du Raz
• The Emerald Coast and Saint-Malo
• Lake Guerlédan, in the heart of inland Brittany

To get around, the coastal path (GR 34) follows the entire shoreline, the Gulf of Morbihan is best explored by boat, and harbours and markets set the pace of the stay.
