Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Moelan-Sur-Mer Holiday Home Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: Moelan-Sur-Mer, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Breton Coast! (A Review That's Probably Too Long)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I just got back from a little slice of heaven – Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Moelan-Sur-Mer Holiday Home! And let me tell you, "Dream" isn't just marketing fluff. It's… well, it's a dream. But, before you book, let's get real. This isn't going to be one of those perfectly polished, corporate-speak reviews. This is me, after a week of Breton bliss, spilling the (organic, locally-sourced) tea.
First things first: The Vibe. And, Oh Boy, is it Good.
Moelan-Sur-Mer. Just the name makes you want to grab a beret and start eating crêpes. (Spoiler alert: you will be eating crêpes.) This isn’t some sterile, cookie-cutter resort. It's a proper holiday home, tucked away in a stunning corner of Brittany. Think windswept beaches, dramatic cliffs, and the kind of air that makes you breathe deep and immediately forget every single stress you've ever had.
Accessibility: More Than Just Ramps (Thank Goodness!)
Listen, I value accessibility. It's important. It's ethical. And, thankfully, Escape to Paradise gets it. While I don't require a wheelchair, I appreciated knowing that facilities for disabled guests are a priority. They have an elevator (essential!), and the staff seem genuinely committed to helping. I didn't, thankfully, need to use any specific facilities for accessibility but it's reassuring to know they thought about it and, more importantly, built for it. That takes a load off so I can focus on, well, existing.
Oh, the Grub! (And the All-Important Coffee)
Right, let’s talk food because ANY trip is about food. The Restaurants situation is… chef's kiss. Okay, maybe not exactly that, but it's seriously good. They have a vegetarian restaurant which is amazing. Plus, an Asian cuisine in restaurant. The Western cuisine in restaurant is great, too. The Breakfast [buffet] is a star. I'm a sucker for a good buffet: good coffee, decent croissants, and the ability to just… graze. This one didn’t disappoint. The breakfast service was efficient and the staff always had time to help. I skipped the Breakfast takeaway service, mainly so I could enjoy the Coffee/tea in restaurant. I'm pretty sure I'm a caffeine fiend, so my day started and ended with as much Coffee as I can drink.
The "Things to Do" (Or, More Accurately, Ways to Not Do Things)
This is where Escape to Paradise excels. It’s not about non-stop activity. It’s about… well, escape. But if you do want to do something, they've got you covered. The Fitness center is there, should you feel the urge to punish yourself for all the delicious food (I didn't, at least not much). There's a Swimming pool [outdoor] – glorious, especially with a Pool with view. I spent hours just floating, staring at the sky. They also offer a Body scrub, which, let's be honest, I'm probably going to need after all the sand I've collected. There's a Spa, a Sauna, and a Steamroom. Okay, I'm starting to feel a little guilty about not utilising all of these. But still, a Massage? Yes, please!
Spa Day: My Personal Descent Into Bliss (and Maybe a Nap)
Okay, so I caved. I went for the spa. And, folks, it was worth it. I booked a massage, and I swear, I woke up ten years younger. Or maybe it was just that I spent two blissful hours floating between the sauna and the steamroom, and then had a foot bath while sipping herbal tea? That's my guess. Whatever it was, it was perfect. The Spa/sauna experience was the biggest draw for me. Total and utter relaxation. I just melted. I melted. (And then, yes, I took a nap. Don't judge me.)
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Secure, Not Paranoid
In these… interesting times, safety is paramount. Here, they take it seriously, but without being overbearing. Anti-viral cleaning products are in use, and there's Daily disinfection in common areas and the Room sanitization opt-out available . Lots of Hand sanitizer. The staff are all trained in safety protocol. They're using Professional-grade sanitizing services. All sensible stuff. The biggest reassurance for me was the feeling that they're on top of things but not in an in-your-face, nervous kind of way. That really helped me to relax.
Rooms: My Room (A Real Story)
Ah, the room. My room was a real home-from-home. Air conditioning (essential!), Blackout curtains (vital!), and a Coffee/tea maker (hallelujah!). It was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The Desk was ideal for a bit of work, and I made good use of the Free Wi-Fi in my room, especially the Internet access – wireless. The Refrigerator was filled with those little bottles of water, which I appreciated. I’d opted for a non-smoking room, and it was indeed as well. The In-room safe box was useful in case I had any valuables. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The Daily housekeeping was fantastic. A proper home from home.
Food and Dining: The Important Stuff
Right, I am obsessed with food, and you will be too. There's a Restaurant serving all kinds of deliciousness. Breakfast was a joy, as I've already mentioned. The A la carte in restaurant means that you can order whatever you feel like. It's all delicious. And yes, there is a Snack bar. Desserts in restaurant? Don't even get me started.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
The Concierge was incredibly helpful, from helping me find the best crêperie to sorting out my rental car. They have Luggage storage which is handy. There’s a Convenience store on site. The Daily housekeeping was on point. They have Car park [free of charge]. They offer Taxi service. They even have Cash withdrawal. And the best perk of all? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!
Getting Around: Easy Breezy
The Airport transfer was super convenient, and they offer Car park [on-site, free of charge]. So, getting around is easy. Plus, the little town is walkable.
For the Kids (And, Okay, the Grown-Ups Too)
While I didn't bring any kids, Family/child friendly is definitely the vibe. They have Babysitting service available.
The Minor Annoyances (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Okay, here’s where I get picky. The Internet access – LAN wasn’t the fastest. The Hair dryer in my room was a bit pathetic. Minor, insignificant, completely forgettable.
Overall: The Verdict – Book It Now!
Look, if you want a truly relaxing, rejuvenating getaway, with all the conveniences you could ask for, Escape to Paradise is it. It's not just beautiful; it's comfortable, friendly, and feels like a real escape. Was it perfect? No. But it was damn close.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your glossy travel brochure experience. We're going to Moëlan-sur-Mer, France, and it's going to be… well, it's going to be something. This is less "TripAdvisor Approved" and more "Diary of a Slightly Disorganized Tourist Who Somehow Ended Up in Brittany With a Fridge Full of Cheese."
The Moëlan-sur-Mer Mayhem: A (Mostly) True Story
Day 1: Arrival! (Or, the Ballad of the Luggage Cart)
- Morning (ish): Heathrow Hysteria. Picture this: Me, attempting to navigate the airport with luggage that's clearly plotting an escape. Ryanair's the airline, which already sets the tone. A near panic when I THOUGHT I lost my passport (turns out it was just stubbornly refusing to emerge from my ridiculously overstuffed handbag).
- Afternoon: Land in Brest. Beautiful coastline visible from the plane. Breezy. I feel optimistic! The hire car is where the second layer of chaos gets peeled away. The map, the car, everything seemed to be in a different language. Also, I’m pretty sure the steering wheel wasn’t where it should have been. Driving on the "wrong" side of the road? Turns out, it’s as terrifying as it sounds. Imagine a squirrel attempting to pilot a spaceship. That was me. After a minor heart attack and a few near-misses with oncoming voitures, I finally, finally, arrive at the holiday home in Moëlan-sur-Mer.
- Evening: The holiday home! Ooh, it's charming. Rustic. Maybe a little smaller than the photos suggested. But, the garden! The fragrant breeze carrying the scent of the sea, the flowers…it's already better than I imagined. I'm half certain a gnome lives in the flowerbed. Unpacking is a disaster. I unpacked all my clothes and left them in an unfolded heap on the bed. I was too tired to sort them out. The fridge, though…that's the important part. It's going to be cheese central, people. Cheese. And wine. A celebratory bottle of something red that I have no idea how to pronounce. The sun blazes, and I fall asleep with a book on my face. Bliss.
Day 2: Beach Day! (And the Great Sandcastle Catastrophe)
- Morning: A croissant and coffee on the terrasse. I need to learn French faster. The sound of French is like birdsong. The sun! Heaven. Beach time! I found a gorgeous little cove, Plage de Kerfany-les-Pins.
- Afternoon: Build a sandcastle. It's a masterpiece! I, an artistic genius, carved moats and towers. Then, the tide… well, the tide had other plans. The sandcastle, my magnum opus, was reduced to a soggy pile of sand with terrifying speed. I was devastated. Absolutely crushed. For a moment, I considered crying. Then, I decided I'd be better off trying again.
- Evening: Seafood at a crêperie! I don't even really like seafood. I ordered a galette (savory crepe) crammed with ham and cheese. Simple. Delicious. The salty air, the sunset over the water… it washed away all the bad feelings. Feeling good, I decided to try some French lessons on my Duolingo app. Turns out, I am terrible at French.
Day 3: Exploring the Area? (Or, the Quest for WiFi)
- Morning: The internet at the holiday home is… unreliable. Like, "exists in another dimension" unreliable. I spent, like, three hours trying to connect to the internet. The sun is too bright. I'm restless.
- Afternoon: Okay, let’s explore. I drove to Pont-Aven! The famous artists' village of Pont-Aven. I wanted to see the art, the atmosphere, embrace my inner creative. I found the art but missed the vibe because I was too busy chasing a lost WiFi signal. I got horribly lost on the way back. I somehow ended up in a field of cows.
- Evening: The jardin! I'd bought some good bread and pâté! I eat the pâté! I eat it with a spoon! I'm alone and there's no one to judge me. I fall asleep again, this time drool-covered, under the stars.
Day 4: Doubling Down on the Beach (Because Why Not?)
- Morning: Determined to conquer the sandcastle challenge, and armed with a better bucket and spade. I made a bigger, sturdier, more impressive sandcastle. I added a seashell flag. I was utterly transported. I forgot the world.
- Afternoon: Sunburn. I did not use enough sunscreen.
- Evening: I have a sunburn. It's my fault. I am going to eat an entire pint of ice cream in a bath. Maybe add some more wine.
Day 5: A Day Trip? (Or, the Mystery of the Bakery Closed Sign)
- Morning: I had planned on going to a local market, but I overslept. I woke up and went straight for the fridge. The good news, I made a coffee. I wanted to get bread and pastries, but the bakery was closed, and they also didn't have an explanation. I don't understand. So, more coffee.
- Afternoon: Decided to just drive somewhere. I ended up at a different beach, which was wonderful, but the wind was vicious. It blew my hat off. I spent a solid 15 minutes chasing it. I returned to the car, and realized I was starving.
- Evening: The local boulangerie (the bakery). It's open! Hooray! I bought an entire baguette and ate half of it on the drive home. I watched the sunset. I felt like a cliché. I felt amazing.
Day 6: (Sigh) Departure
- Morning: Packing. Again. This time, everything's damp from the sea air. So much sand. So much cheese.
- Afternoon: The drive back to Brest. Driving on the wrong side of the road is now somewhat easier. I somehow managed to get the car to the airport in one piece. I get on the plane, and realized I would have time to spend at home.
- Evening: Landing in London with slightly too much luggage, a tan, a heart full of mixed feelings, and a fridge full of cheese I'll be eating for the next week.
And that, my friends, is Moëlan-sur-Mer. It wasn't perfect. It was messy and imperfect. But it was mine. And I can't wait to go back.
