This breezy boutique hotel is the perfect base for a seaside holiday, just a stone's throw from the beautiful beaches of Brittany's south coast. The style throughout is beach-hut chic with lots of pale wood and linen, but it's incredibly family-friendly, too: there's a small heated outdoor pool and garden, books and board-games to borrow, mountain-bikes for hire and a baby-sitting service. There are 20 rooms including several family suites, some of which have private, shady terraces, and inter-connecting rooms which can cater for family groups of all sizes. There's no restaurant but the yachting town of La Trinité-sur-Mer with its crêperies and seafood restaurants is just 100m away.
From 150 for a junior suite sleeping two, plus 25 per extra bed. Buffet breakfast 14 per adult, and 9 per child. lodge-kerisper.com
