About
Loisirs en Gare in Guiscriff offers one of the most genuinely unusual places to stay in inland Brittany: an old sleeping car dating from 1926. It sleeps up to eleven people and stands in the world of the old station, now turned into a tourist site. Sheets and linen are included, baby equipment and a microwave are available, and there is a bike shelter. The place holds the Accueil Vélo label and also welcomes horses, making it particularly suited to travellers on the old railway line, now a greenway. The carriage suits individuals and groups alike. Its charm lies less in modern hotel comfort than in the railway experience itself: the sound of rain on the roof, the compartments and the atmosphere of a country station.
