Jaw-Dropping Lozen Flat in Clohars-Carnoet: Unbelievable Sea Views!
Jaw-Dropping Lozen Flat in Clohars-Carnoet: Unbelievable Sea Views! - A Review That's More "Real Talk" Than "Robot Talk"
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from Lozen Flat, and let me tell you… "unbelievable sea views" doesn't even scratch the surface. It's like the ocean decided to move in and become your roommate. Seriously, I spent about half the time just staring out the window, jaw permanently at half-mast. This review? It's gonna be as messy and glorious as that view. Prepare for a rollercoaster.
Accessibility & The Quest for the Perfect Room (and avoiding that awkward Stairwell):
Right off the bat, let's be honest: navigating the world is tough. So, accessibility is key. This place… well, the website says wheelchair accessible, but I didn't actually try it because… well, I tend to pick the best views, which may or may not involve stairs. (My bad! I’ll get back to it). I saw an elevator tho, which is always a massive win. They also offered a car park [on-site] so that’s a big plus. I'd advise calling ahead if you have specific needs - don’t rely on me, I’m still recovering from the seafood.
Cleanliness & Safety: Did I Survive Covid? (Spoiler Alert: Yes!)
Look, the world’s a bit germaphobic these days, and rightfully so. Lozen Flat seems to get it. They had hand sanitizer everywhere, and I’m pretty sure they were wiping down the air molecules between breaths. Seriously, the anti-viral cleaning products and professional-grade sanitizing services were evident. My room was spotless. And the room sanitization opt-out available gave me a bit of a moral conflict, though I went for the daily wipe-down. Plus, they seem to take covid seriously, they had staff trained in safety protocol and physical distancing of at least 1 meter in place. I felt safe. Maybe too safe? Just a tiny bit sterile… but hey, I’m still here, so, win!
The Room: My Ocean-View Obsession
Okay, let’s talk about the room. It was… well, let's say I'm now seriously considering selling my meager possessions and moving in permanently. I opted for the non-smoking room (phew, this time), and it was bliss. The air conditioning was my best friend during the afternoons; the blackout curtains were a godsend for those sunrise naps. The Internet access - wireless? Flawless (and free, hooray!) The free bottled water was a nice touch.
The view, though. The window that opens? That’s where the magic happened. I spent hours staring at the ocean, sipping complimentary tea (thanks for the complimentary tea, Lozen!) and pretending I was a glamorous movie star. The extra long bed made me feel like a king (or at least a very relaxed giant). The bathrobes and slippers were pure luxury. And yes, there was a shower, and separate shower/bathtub and a hairdryer because I'm not a complete cave dweller. They even remembered the reading light and safety/security feature (I’ll take them! ). They also had all sorts of things in the room such as an alarm clock, bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service. I also had interconnecting room(s) available, which is something I don't know if I actually wanted.
Food, Glorious Food (And My Vegetarian Adventure):
Okay, food. This is where things got… interesting. They have a restaurant, and it has options. I didn't manage to sample everything, because I am a creature of habit, but I did go for the vegetarian options and oh boy, how the food was amazing! They had vegetarian restaurant which were amazing - thank God! They also had places to eat like A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Salad in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant. A bottle of water was included. I spent a little time at the bar, and I was happy to grab a happy hour to relax. The staff were also kind enough to provide Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Alternative meal arrangement. Overall, I'd give the food a solid "pretty damn good."
Things to Do (Or, How I Pretended to Be Active on Vacation):
So, I did some relaxing. The first day, I found the swimming pool [outdoor], and promptly planted myself there, staring at the sea. They have a pool with view, and also a gym/fitness. I didn't go to the fitness center, but hey, it's there if you're more ambitious than I am. There's a spa with a sauna and massage, and the body scrub and body wrap are calling my name. I didn’t actually get to the Spa/sauna but I did take a foot bath (so relaxing). There's also loads of other activities such as Things to do, ways to relax. I also visited the local shops and bought some gift/souvenir shop items, and sat at the terrace.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Made a Difference:
Honestly, the little things here really impressed me. They had a concierge service, which helped with local recommendations. I was especially grateful for the laundry service after I spilled pesto down my front (don't ask). They even had a cash withdrawal service and currency exchange! The daily housekeeping was super efficient. They also had doorman. The Wi-Fi for special events was something I didn't use.
Getting Around: (And Avoiding the Dreaded Taxi Fare):
They offer airport transfer which is great! There's car park [free of charge], so you can park for free. I took a taxi service to the city. And bicycle parking is also an option. I didn’t dare use the Car power charging station due to my lack of knowledge in electric cars.
For the Kids… (Because I'm Still a Big Kid at Heart):
I didn't travel with kids, but I spotted some kids facilities. They have a Babysitting service, so I'm pretty sure kids would be just fine here.
The Minor Annoyances (Yes, There Were Some):
Okay, here's where I get real. One tiny (and I mean tiny) thing: the room service menu was a little limited. I did get to order some room service [24-hour]. I wanted more options, but hey, that ocean view made up for it. Also, my bathroom door was a tiny bit squeaky. (The horror!)
Overall Verdict: Would I Go Back? (Hell, Yes!)
Lozen Flat? It’s a winner. The view? Unforgettable. The service? Solid. The cleanliness? A comfort. The food? Delicious. The overall experience? Absolutely worth it. Yes, there were a few minor quirks (the door!), but honestly, I'm already planning my return. So, if you want a place that's both stunning and (mostly) stress-free, book it. Just… maybe call ahead to snag the room with the ocean view. You won't regret it.

Alright, buckle your seatbelts, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into a Lozen flat adventure in Clohars-Carnoet, France, a place that's basically begging to be explored messily, honestly, and with a whole lotta snacks involved. Prepare for a trip that's less "perfectly planned" and more "winging it with French charm."
Day 1: Arrival & Coastal Chaos (and the Cheese Incident)
- Morning (like, REAL morning - the sun’s barely up): Arrive at Brest Airport (BRF). Trying to decipher those tiny French exit signs after a red-eye is an Olympic sport. Seriously, felt like I was in a James Bond movie, only I was in a desperate search for a toilet. Finally find the car rental place, which is more of a shed with a guy named Jean-Pierre looking like he’s seen it all (which, in Brittany, he probably has).
- Mid-morning: The drive to Clohars-Carnoet. Let me tell you, the coastal road is a siren song. Winding roads, dramatic cliffs… and then BAM! We almost missed the turnoff for our Lozen flat. Okay, maybe "almost" is an understatement. We were completely lost, arguing about the map (I blame the fog), and I was on the verge of a full-blown meltdown. But the views! They seriously make you forgive just about anything.
- Lunchtime: Arrive at the Lozen flat. Holy. Freaking. Cow. The sea view! It’s… breathtaking. (Yes, I know, cliché. But honestly, it was breathtaking.) The flat itself is charmingly…rustic. (Translation: a little wonky, but that's part of the charm!) Unpack, which means wrestling with luggage, and deciding if I can live without an iron for the next week. (Spoiler alert: I can’t).
- Afternoon: The Cheese Incident. Okay, so we went to the local market, which was a sensory explosion. I, being the cheese enthusiast I am, went a little wild. Bought a selection of cheeses that would feed a small army. Now, here's where it goes wrong. We leave the cheese in the car. In the sun. For a while. Discovering the damage a few hours later, it was a gooey, pungent symphony of oh my god what have I done?! I probably should have thrown them away, but I was hungry. I ate one. It was… an experience.
- Evening: Sunset drinks on the balcony, pretending we're sophisticated. More cheese. (The survivors – lesson learned, keep it chilled!) Realized that my French is…well, it's a work in progress. Ordering a beer involved a lot of pointing and smiling. Dinner in Clohars-Carnoet- a creperie that was absolute perfection. My crepe, bursting with seafood, was probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
Day 2: Coastline Craze and the Crepe Comeback
- Morning: Wake up to that view. Okay, I can get used to this. Walk along the coastal path. The air is crisp, the waves crash… and I face-planted in the sand. Grace is not my strong suit.
- Mid-morning: Explore the local beaches. Found a hidden cove, complete with perfect white sand. I almost got stuck in quicksand. Seriously, thought I'd have to call for help. But the sand was so perfect I just had to make it to a beach nearby.
- Lunchtime: Picnic on the beach. Packing a picnic is way harder than it looks, it's very important to know what you can eat and what you can't, especially since the cheese issue.
- Afternoon: Decided to take some photos, had to get my camera out!
- Evening: Back to the creperie (thank god it's good!). I knew what to order this time! Crepe comeback!
Day 3: Boat Trip & Breton Blues (and the Seagull Sabotage)
- Morning: Boat trip! Signed up for a fishing charter. The sea was a little choppy, which, as it turns out, does not agree with my stomach. I spent most of the time clinging to the side, trying not to lose my lunch (again).
- Mid-morning: Managed to catch a fish! Celebrated with a very wobbly victory dance and a lot of salt water.
- Lunchtime: The captain let us use the boat's kitchen to cook our catch. Simple, delicious… until the seagulls decided to launch a full-scale assault on our lunch. They are relentless!
- Afternoon: A drive to a nearby town, something about Breton history and beautiful architecture. Honestly, after the boat trip and the seagull battle, I just wanted a nap. But the town was pretty.
- Evening: Trying to find some authentic Breton music!
Day 4: The Island of Happiness!
- Morning: Wake up to the sun again. We are so lucky! A day trip to Île de Groix, a small island off the coast! Taking the ferry was fun!
- Mid-morning: Arrive at the island. This place is magical! The beaches are stunning, the atmosphere is laid-back, and the local seafood restaurant is a must!
- Lunchtime: A delicious seafood lunch! Freshly caught fish, local wine, and sea views. Bliss!
- Afternoon: Hiking the island! The views are simply breathtaking!
- Evening: Back to the mainland, exhausted but happy. The best day!
Day 5: Culture Shock and Coastal Charm
- Morning: Decided to see a museum. I don't love museums but I felt that I needed to be more in touch with the culture! It was so interesting!
- Mid-morning: I had the chance to see the local market. Not as good as the first one. :D
- Lunchtime: A picnic! This time I remembered to pack the food and avoid the seagulls!
- Afternoon: Walk along the coast.
- Evening: Trying to find some authentic Breton music, again!
Day 6: Last Days & Lingering Sunshine
- Morning: Lazy morning in the flat. Coffee, a good book, and that glorious sea view.
- Mid-morning: Last minute souvenir hunting. Panic-buying Breton stripes and caramels.
- Lunchtime: Another crepe (one last hurrah!).
- Afternoon: Final walk on the beach. Trying to soak up every last drop of sunshine.
- Evening: Packing. Trying to decide which cheese to bring home (the good ones, this time!). One last sunset drink. A wave of sadness washes over me, knowing this amazing trip is almost over!
Day 7: Au Revoir, Brittany (and the Tearful Airport Goodbye)
- Morning: The dreaded departure. Breakfast with the last of the cheese (yay!). Driving back to Brest (BRF).
- Mid-morning: The airport. Saying goodbye to Brittany (and probably shedding a tear or two).
- Afternoon: Flight home. Already planning the next trip.
This itinerary is less about perfectly ticking off boxes and more about embracing the chaos, the beauty, the mishaps, and the sheer joy of being in a place like Clohars-Carnoet. It's about the taste of salty air mixed with cheese, the sound of crashing waves, and the feeling of pure, unadulterated happiness. So, go! Get lost (metaphorically and maybe literally!), stumble upon hidden coves, eat way too much cheese, and let Brittany work its magic on you. You won't regret it. And hey, if you see a crazy person desperately trying to wrangle a runaway seagull, it might just be me. Bonne chance!

Jaw-Dropping Lozen Flat in Clohars-Carnoet: FAQ - Ready to be Blown Away (Maybe)?
Okay, so… *unbelievable* sea views, huh? Is it *actually* that good? Because let's be real, advertising lies.
Alright, alright, let's get this out of the way: yes. REALLY yes. I was skeptical, too. I've seen my share of 'sea view' claims that were more like 'view of a distant bit of sea, provided you squint and hang off the balcony at a dangerous angle.' But *this*? This is the real deal. The first morning I woke up, I just… I just stared. Coffee went cold. The croissant I'd painstakingly fetched from the boulangerie was forgotten. It was like the ocean was *in* the room. You know how sometimes the view is just… background? Not here. It's the main event. A proper, *unbelievable* experience. Though, I’ll be honest… the first day, the wind was howling and I felt a bit seasick just *looking* at it. Not ideal for a delicate constitution like mine. But mostly? Absolutely worth it.
The photos look amazing. But did they use some fancy photo editing wizardry? Like, did they add the sea in digitally?
I'm usually the first one to yell "FAKE NEWS!" at overly-polished holiday snaps. And honestly, I went in expecting some Photoshop shenanigans. Nope. Turns out, the pictures *understate* the beauty. It's like the photographer was actively *trying* to tone it down. I'm convinced they used a potato for the camera. Seriously. The light changes constantly – dramatic, moody, playful. You can almost *feel* the sea breeze just looking out the window. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a *little*. But trust me, if anything, it's *better*. Or maybe I just caught it on a good week. Who knows!
Is it, you know, *comfortable*? Because 'jaw-dropping views' doesn't always equal a good night's sleep. I've stayed in places with stunning panoramas and beds that felt like concrete slabs.
Right? The view is useless if you're tossing and turning all night. And thankfully, the Lozen Flat is comfy. The bed was… fine. Not the *best* bed I’ve ever slept in, but perfectly adequate. I slept! Which, considering I spent most of the day gazing out the window like a lovesick teenager, is a minor miracle. And the noise? Surprisingly quiet. Unless the seagulls are having a particularly boisterous chat, which they sometimes do. You know, 'seagull-ing'. It's a thing. But it's part of the charm, I guess. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper... or just get drunk enough to not care. Your call.
What's the deal with the kitchen? Is it actually equipped, or just a microwave and a sad excuse for a fridge? Because I like to cook!
Okay, the kitchen is... decent. Not Michelin-star quality, by any stretch. But it’s equipped. There’s the basics. Pans, pots, plates, cutlery, the works. I actually managed to cook a surprisingly decent omelette one morning, fueled by the aforementioned sea view and a sudden burst of culinary optimism. Though, full disclosure: I burnt the toast. Twice. But hey, at least I *tried*. And there's a coffee machine. Which is CRUCIAL. Coffee and the sea view? Absolute heaven. Just don’t expect to whip up a four-course meal. Unless you *really* try… and then send me the recipe!
Okay, let's talk *location*. What's nearby? Because being stuck with an amazing view but nothing else is a recipe for boredom.
Clohars-Carnoet itself is… charming. Quaint. Peaceful. Full of incredibly friendly locals who speak French at a speed that makes my brain melt. So, yeah, brush up on your French. There are a few decent restaurants, a bakery that you *have* to try (the pain au chocolat… oh, the pain au chocolat!), and a small supermarket for essentials. The beach is gorgeous, perfect for long walks – although the sand can sometimes be a bit… clingy. Like, *really* clingy. And the tides! Don't even get me started on the tides. One minute, you're sunbathing, the next, the sea is right there, daring you to swim. I wouldn’t say there’s loads and loads in terms of nightlife. This is more of a chilling out type of place. But if you want the wild party life then… probably look elsewhere.
Any downsides? Be honest! Nothing is perfect.
Alright, here's the unvarnished truth. One tiny, tiny, TINY downside: the stairs. It's a flat, so, yes, there are stairs. They are a bit… steep. And I'm not getting any younger. Lugging suitcases up them was a genuine character-building experience. I had to stop halfway for a breather and a dramatic sip of water. Also, and this is a minor quibble, the Wi-Fi wasn't lightning-fast. Which, honestly, was probably a good thing. Made me put my phone down and actually LOOK AT THE GIANT SEA VIEW. I could use it as an excuse I suppose! Oh! And another minor thing: I’m not sure about the neighbors… heard a little bit of noise at a certain hour. But all in all, the pros *massively* outweigh the cons. Like, *massive*. I would absolutely go back. Staircase and all.
What's the overall vibe? Romantic? Family-friendly? Party central? Because I need to know if this is the right place for *me*.
Hmm. "Vibe." Okay. The vibe is… peaceful. Calming. Idyllic. Romantic, even. Definitely a place for couples looking to escape. Families, definitely. There's a beach! Kids love beaches, right? And for the party animals? Probably not the best choice, unless you enjoy having your epic party disrupted by the mesmerizing view. I actually tried to have a wild night in there once. (I got a bit bored looking at the sea). It involved some loud singing (badly), a bottle of wine and a regrettable attempt to dance on the balcony that resulted in me nearly falling off. I survived, thankfully. But I was left with the distinct feeling that the flat itself was judging me.
Okay, so it really *is* the sea view, huh? Tell me about it! What's the best time to experience it? The sunrise? The sunset? Or just… all the time?
Oh, the sea view. Listen, I'm not being dramatic when I say it's… transformative. I could sit thereHotels With Kitchenettes
