Hôtel Des Deux Mers

At the entrance to Saint-Pierre-Quiberon, Hôtel des Deux Mers gives you a seaside base with the beach just outside. The atmosphere is informal and sociable rather than staged: the veranda and shared areas are made for sitting down, playing board games, having a drink and talking through the day’s plans.

You can choose between rooms looking towards the garden and rooms with views over the ocean and Penthièvre Beach. The building has three floors and no lift, so a room upstairs means using the stairs. That is the sort of small practical detail worth knowing before your legs have already done enough work.

You are staying in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon, in Brittany, at 8 Avenue Surcouf. The hotel stands on the seafront, with direct beach access and the sea around 30 metres away. Plage de l’Isthme is about 300 metres away, while Penthièvre Beach is roughly 1.3 miles away.

The setting gives you a useful mix of coast and transport links. Penthièvre railway station is about 350 metres away, and L’Isthme station is around 1 mile away. Saint-Pierre-Quiberon is about 5 km from the hotel and Quiberon around 8 km, so a car remains useful for exploring further along the peninsula.

For a meal or a drink away from the hotel, several addresses are within driving distance. Kreiz an Avel, Pizza Baïa and Viviers de Saint Colomban are around 2 miles away, while Le Bar’Oudeur, Le Kawa and Bar Breton are roughly 3 to 3.2 miles away. Carnac Stones are about 3.4 miles away, with several dolmen sites and the Kergonan abbeys also within reach.

The room choice matters here because the layouts are not all aimed at the same stay. For two people, a Superior Double Room or Comfort Double Room keeps things straightforward. If you are travelling with family, the Family Suites give you separate single beds alongside a double bed, with room for up to four guests. The Superior Suite and Comfort Suite are the middle ground for a couple or a small group of up to three.

The views are the real dividing line. Some rooms look onto the garden, while others face the ocean and Penthièvre Beach; rooms on the third floor offer a sea view. Choose the latter if the first thing you want to see in the morning is the coast rather than the car park or the corridor. Choose a family suite if four people and their belongings need to coexist without turning the room into a luggage experiment.

Every room has a private en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet, toiletries and hairdryer, plus free Wi-Fi. You also have a wardrobe or cupboard space, heating and non-smoking accommodation throughout. Housekeeping is daily, and the beds have been well received for comfort. Upper floors are reached by stairs only, so factor that into your choice if climbing with bags is not your preferred warm-up.

Breakfast is served daily as a buffet and is included in the stay. The hotel describes it as a gourmet breakfast, giving you a proper start before heading out rather than leaving you to negotiate the first coffee of the morning elsewhere. The breakfast room keeps the arrangement simple and practical.

There is one small bar, used for an evening aperitif on the veranda or terrace. Wine and champagne are available, and the common areas also include a coffee house. You can sit down with a drink, a board game or a conversation instead of treating the room as the only place to recover. Dinner and continuous snacking are not part of the hotel’s stated food offer, so plan your evening meal separately; the nearby restaurants are reached by car.

The beach is the main outdoor amenity, with direct access from the hotel and the sea only a short walk away. You can also hire bicycles here, which gives you a practical way to explore the peninsula without turning every outing into a driving plan. Cycling, hiking, horse riding, canoeing, windsurfing and fishing are among the activities available in the surrounding area.

Back at the hotel, the garden brings olive and cypress trees, while the terrace and sun terrace provide outdoor seating. The veranda has comfortable seats and plenty of natural light, making it useful when you want to read, talk or simply watch the weather change without committing to another expedition.

For quieter evenings, you have board games and a games room. The arrangement suits a couple who wants a coastal base with a few gentle diversions, as well as a family that needs something to do once the beach day has run out of energy.

Check-in runs from 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm, and check-out from 11:00 am to 11:30 am. The minimum age for check-in is 18. Children of any age are welcome, and cots can be requested for children aged from birth to two years; extra beds are not available. Pets are not allowed.

You have free private parking on site, with no reservation needed, and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. The property accepts cash. There is no lift, and the upper floors are accessible by stairs only, which is worth considering if you are arriving with heavy luggage or prefer to avoid stairs after a long day outdoors.

You can reach the area via the Breizh Go bus network. By train, Quiberon station is around 8 km away and Saint-Pierre-Quiberon station around 5 km away, while Penthièvre station is closer at roughly 350 metres. By car, the route runs via the dual carriageway to Auray and then the D768. The nearest listed airport is Belle Ile En Mer Airport, about 16 miles away; Vannes-Meucon Airport is around 21 miles away and Lorient South Brittany Airport around 19 miles away.
