Hi there

We are heading off to the Brittany area this Summer, getting a ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre (not actually booked yet so if you have strong opinions about different ports please say so).  We've never been there before and would really appreciate some advice on where's good to stay and where to avoid.  FYI we're looking for somewhere not to far away from the coast, doesn't have to be too flash, but would be nice to have a pool and a few flat roads so we can go for bike rides.

Thanks in advance

You could try Les Plages de Beg Leguer near Lannion (see my review, can't do links, sorry), it has a pool with a sliding roof and is an ACSI site but not sure of the dates for the discount...just so long as you get better weather than we did, but it was horrible all over Brittany last June. It's a lovely area, less commercialised than further south.

Can't comment on ports as we drove from Dunkerque.

One thing I would mention is that the port of Le Havre is a rather busy one and last time we went we came out of the docks into very busy morning rush hour traffic. That is one of the good things about Roscoff port we like, you are off and into the quiet countryside in no time.
