01/09/2024: Hikers, we spent 3 nights in the Gite de l'Hermine to explore the beautiful Crozon peninsula. As some comments indicate, accommodation and supplies are almost non-existent in the area (except in Morgat of course). We were so happy to be able to turn to this address.
Despite the positive points, our opinion is mixed and we find it important to explain it, to the attention of owners and hikers alike, in order to avoid surprises, and hoping that this opinion will be a little constructive.
In the gîte section (marked "Gîte d'Etape"), the common areas are clean and functional. On the other hand, a drying rack far too small near the showers for drying towels. It does not correspond to the capacity of the dormitory, it is not very functional for walkers, whose weather often washes their clothes. Inside and outside, it would be necessary to provide lines to hang wet laundry.
The dormitory is clean, but basic beds are installed very close to each other, in a row, really old-fashioned even though the dormitories of old boarding schools had bedside tables. Here, there is no space to put down and store your belongings. For a minimum of comfort and privacy, and to aim for better value for money, it would seem more appropriate and more appropriate to provide storage/locker per traveler.
For the restaurant part, the dishes are simple, of good quality, the manager and the cook were accommodating to accommodate one of us, vegetarian (let them know the day before for the next day) but the prices of the dishes remain very high (18.50 to 22 euros a dish, except on the day of mussels and fries 16.50), which is more comparable to the prices applied in the area by the seafront restaurants (which we do not frequent) than a restaurant backed by a stopover lodge, with, here, a somewhat limited choice of dishes. If you stay several nights, an alternative to (good) fries would be appreciated. It's a shame because the place would not lack charm and certainly brings life to this beautiful area.
Thanks again to the young woman in charge of the gîte for kindly dropping us off in Crozon on her way to the market. The fact that the restaurant obtains its supplies in part from this brilliant little local producers' market demonstrates, despite other reservations, a serious and of a search for authentic quality.
