Hotel in Brittany with swimming pool

Looking for a rejuvenating getaway in Brittany? With its cliff-top location overlooking the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, this 4-star hotel with a Breton name meaning “house of the sea” is the ideal address. Summer or winter, lulled by invigorating iodine breezes or relaxed by a stroll on the beach or a dip in the heated outdoor pool, you're guaranteed to unwind at this beautiful Côtes-d'Armor address.

An inspiring sea view

Located on the north coast of Brittany, Saint-Quay-Portrieux is a seaside resort renowned for its fishing port, making it the scallop capital of Brittany.

Its church, with its bulbous bell tower, also contributes to the reputation of this small commune of 3,000 inhabitants. Characteristic of Baroque religious architecture, this curved dome often serves as a landmark for the 4* Ker Moor hotel.

The hotel, which was completely renovated in 2024, can also be identified by its nearby neighbor, the Château de Calan, which is recognizable by its Moorish style, a trend in architecture that was very popular in the 19th century on this part of the wild Breton coast.
From the hotel's terrace, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the islands of this magnificent Breton coast.

But if the address is popular with lovers of iodized landscapes, its direct access to the beach also contributes greatly to its success.

Or perhaps it's the outdoor heated swimming pool, where you can fully appreciate the mild climate.

From the warm welcome and elegant rooms to the delicious breakfast, this hotel in Brittany has a lot to offer.

A haven of peace in Northern Brittany

Thanks to its location on a small cliff overlooking the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, all rooms at the 4-star Ker Moor hotel look out over the sea and Île de la Comtesse. Breathtaking panoramic views from rooms with large windows letting in natural light, most of which have a balcony or private terrace.

30 spacious rooms elegantly decorated with marine-inspired touches and contemporary design elements:
  • King-size beds with top-quality mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets.
  • Private bathrooms with walk-in showers or bathtubs, supplied with Nuxe hygiene products.
  • Flat-screen TV.
  • Minibar, tea and coffee-making facilities and safe.
  • Free Wi-Fi connection.
Room service is also available, with meal trays (starters, main courses, desserts) made from Meunier gourmet jars and accompanied by bread and a drink.

The upscale services offered by this Brittany hotel with sea view continue as soon as you leave your room:
  • Gourmet breakfasts based on local, organic, fresh and mostly homemade products.
  • The outdoor swimming pool, heated to 28°C and open in summer (mid-May to mid-September, 11am to 7pm): perfect for lounging and admiring the Moorish castle overlooking the hotel, with a drink in hand.
  • A bar for cocktails between swims in the pool or on the beach, directly accessible from the hotel.
  • A rooftop, the Kssar, where you can watch the sun set over the bay while enjoying an aperitif of tapas or pastry cups designed by a Michelin-starred chef from the Côte d'Azur. On Sunday mornings, the soothing maritime panorama can also be enjoyed during a convivial brunch aloft.
  • A lush garden in which to take a break after a bike ride in Saint-Quay-Portrieux, a town that is part of the Vélomaritime network and has a “Bike home” label at the Hôtel Ker Moor.

To this end, the hotel offers a bicycle rental service, but more generally, guests can take advantage of:
  • Personalized recommendations for excursions: hiking along the GR34 (the customs path passes right by the hotel), boat trips to neighboring islands, discovering sandy beaches, exploring local markets, taking part in water sports (sailing, sea fishing, paddling...).

Book a table at a local restaurant such as Atypic, La Passerelle or Signatures.
  • Advice on must-see attractions in the area.
  • Transfer to the desired train station.

Finally, residents of the 4* hotel can also take advantage of on-site:
  • Private parking.
  • Charging stations for electric cars.

A destination rich in activities

While it may be tempting to stay at the hotel and take advantage of all the facilities on offer, here's a small selection of things to do in the surrounding area to make your stay in Côtes-d'Armor even more enjoyable:
  • Discover the cliffs of Plouha (the highest in Brittany) and the port of Gwin Zegal, a listed site dating back to the 5th century.
  • Visit the Moulin Saint-Michel, just a few minutes' walk from Ker Moor. Built in 1830 and in operation until 1896, its 8 m tower dominates the landscape.
  • Follow the Bay of Saint-Brieuc along coastal paths leading to unspoilt beaches.
  • Discover the Côte du Goëlo, stretching as far as Paimpol and close to the island of Bréhat, a sun-drenched, flower-filled site that's one of Brittany's must-sees. It's also the perfect opportunity to stroll between the shops, bars and restaurants of the pretty port of Binic-Étables-sur-mer, just a 10-minute drive from the hotel.
Last but not least, the natural swimming pool at Saint-Quay-Portrieux is not to be missed either: its tidal filling inspires photographers, and this atypical bathing site appeals to children and adults alike.

In fine weather, water-lovers can fully enjoy their stay at Ker Moor, between the nearby natural pool, the many surrounding beaches and the 4-star hotel's heated outdoor pool.

Whatever the season, to come to Saint-Quay-Portrieux is to enjoy its unspoilt nature, its varied landscapes between land and sea and the Breton sense of hospitality. 

Three elements that come together in this ideal address for a romantic getaway, with family or friends.

Enjoy your weekend or vacation in Brittany.
