We have just spent 7 nights at Camping Du Letty (Bénodet campsite | Le Letty | 5-star by the sea in Brittany) in Brittany, France and I thought I'd let the forum know what we thought.
We first heard about the campsite from forum members @JOG and @nomislotsirb, but also a couple of friends recommended it.
We decided to get the overnight ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff. This was with Brittany Ferries on the Armorique which leaves at 10pm and arrives 8.00am local time. We went on Thursday evening at the start of the school summer holidays and it was really easy, with no delays at Border control or check in - it was much easier than Dover > Calais.
Facilities on board are good and there is a bar, restaurant, duty free, and cinema. We had a cabin, which although was compact, had an on-suite shower and toilet. We have two children aged 11 and 8, and it was perfectly comfortable for the four of us. The cost was £775.35 which included a cabin both ways and the van had a rear mounted cycle rack. This was 627 miles shorter (both ways) for us than going Dover > Calais.
Camping Du Letty is 72 miles from Roscoff and is a really easy drive. It is a large site with lots of facilities.
We had a 'privilege pitch' with our own shower, toilet, fridge and washing facilities. It was great and the pitch was huge! The campsite is right on the beach and has two pools (one indoor). Both are excellent for families and have loads of sun loungers. The outdoor pool has a couple of slides which kept our two children entertained. The campsite also had an indoor play area for younger children, a restaurant, snack bar for pizzas, bar, and facilities like tennis and water sports. There is a very well stocked shop for groceries, wine, beers, Camping Gaz, etc and it is not outrageously expensive.
The site is very clean, although I cannot comment on the communal showers as we didn't use them.
There is a safe cycle path that goes from the campsite to the centre of Benodet, that follows the coast. We used this most days and it takes less than 10 minutes.
We were really impressed with Camping Du Letty and really loved the summer vibe in Benodet, which also has a lovely beach, which we preferred to the beach at the campsite. Going via Plymouth > Roscoff was really easy too.
Recommended.
As a side note, there is a large Super U , 5 minutes from the ferry terminal, to stock up with cheap wine, if that's your thing - it was ours!!!
