Gite Ty Sauveur maison de pêcheur meublée 3 étoiles port de St Goustan à Auray

Do not rent this place unless you a) speak perfect French, and b) are willing to pay the cleaning fee, because no matter how well you clean it, it will not be sufficient. I don't understand why people make a place a showpiece and then rent it out. The minute we walked in we loved it... and were immediately afraid of breaking something. Things only got worse when we met the owner, who gave us a dirty look after asking what "that noise was" and being told it was the washing machine (listed as an amenity). She then took a picture of the electric meter. Excuse me, I believe power is generally included!?! Given this not very pleasant vibe, we decided to take pictures right before we left to show we had cleaned it. And sure enough, she claimed we had not cleaned! We have rented many places and the most commonly used word to describe how we leave places is "immaculate". This is exactly how we left this place, with pictures to prove it. Ultimately we decided it was worth the 20 euros of "damage" to be done with this owner and move on instead of fight her obvious lies. I will be sticking with (the other main home rental company that Home Away won't let me mention in this review) from now on since they have a much better rating system to weed out people like this one who is clearly in it for the money and not for the hospitality. Luckily our one other Homeaway rental on this trip was super nice and not at all like this owner.

From start to finish our visit to this gite situated in the heart of historic Port St Goustan, Auray was perfect in every way. Communications with the owner, Valerie Rouffineau, were fantastic from the initial booking through to our arrival and departure. Valerie couldn't have been more helpful. The gite itself was immaculately clean and well presented. It has a with a superb, recently refurbished kitchen and bathroom, comfortable beds and everything you could need from free Wifi and washing machine down to a potato peeler - nothing has been overlooked. There is on street parking for smaller cars directly outside the gite if spaces are available. For those with larger vehicles there is a purpose built parking area just five minutes walk away. Auray offers all the facilities of a busy French market town with the addition of beautiful vistas of the River Auray and Port St Goustan. There are great coastal walks (GR34) following the river down to Le Bono, well worth a visit to see their recently refurbished suspension bridge. Boat trips are available from Port St Goustan, or just soak up the atmosphere in one of creperies, bars or restaurants overlooking the old harbour. All in all, I would definitely recommend this gite to anyone as a great base to explore Auray and Morbihan in general and hope to return at some point in the future.

This is a really lovely house. The pictures do not do it justice. It is extremely clean and very well equipped. There is absolutely everything you need. The main bedroom was really nice with exposed beams and a stone wall with a large comfortable bed. The bathroom is nice with a big walk in shower that was very powerful. It is possible to park at the house and it takes only a minute to walk to the port and 5 minutes up into Auray. Such a lovely area. I would highly recommend this house and the area.
