Ar Men Du, Hôtel & Restaurant Gastronomique

The hotel impresses with its quality breakfast, comfortable beds, and stunning ocean views. Guests appreciate the attentive staff and convenient location near attractions. However, some may find the interior too modern.

As we approach the time of the Tour de France, I am reminded of the term HC, or Beyond Category. In an age in which we are encouraged to write quick and superficial critiques of everything we buy or use, it is wise to reflect on what is really important. Ar Men Du respects its harsh but beautiful landscape. It provides much in the way of comfort without clashing with its environment. By definition, tourists keep moving on. But rarely you encounter places that remain in your consciousness and compel you to return. As with a lovely piece of music, playing it is one thing, playing it well is another. There is considerable insight and hard work in establishing and maintaining a hotel like Ar Men Du. One could make a few minor criticisms, but the overall experience here is magnificent. Most everyone in the hotel business believes in welcoming their guests. It's the ones that do so naturally, with great enthusiasm, that you remember. There is that spirit here. The setting is inspiring, whether you are physically active, reflective or both. While the wifi may be sketchy, this should be a time to understand where you are and why. There is some delightful local art work on display, and some for sale. The restaurant is memorable. The staff is hard working and congenial. This is a place and experience to savor.
