I've used the http://www.talabardon.fr/ before and it is very good. Nothing flashy but full of French character. Book a sea view room if you can and the tide comes in directly below your window. It's easy to find right in the centre of the town in the Place d'Eglise.

As for restaurants, you're not going to have much choice I'm afraid. At 8.30pm on a Tuesday evening in late September there's not likely to be much open. You'll just have to take a walk around and hope you can find somewhere. To be honest, if it were me, I would eat in the restaurant on the Pont Aven before arriving and then just go out to a bar for a drink on arrival in Roscoff.

When the ferry arrives, you might be lucky and get to drive off quickly but often it can take a while to disembark. As you drive out through customs, keep in the right hand lane and don't follow the signs and all the other cars out of the port. Go straight on and take the exit up towards the Casino, turn right at the trafic lights and take the coast road around into the town. This should get you ahead of most of the other cars. Drive through the town and hopefully you will find somewhere to park in the Place d'Eglise. It will probably be nearer to 8.30pm by the time you have made it into the town and checked into your hotel.

Hope you have a good trip. I've always enjoyed spending a night in Roscoff - it's a pretty place.

We've stayed a couple of times at the Hotel Ibis in Roscoff. Many rooms have sea views, it's right on the waters edge near the Church. Very reasonable too. I found the family room very good value. Breakfast is extra on top of room, again reasonable price and quality. When we've eaten out, we gone to Pizzeria du Port, doesn't only do pizza's, steaks etc and caters for children aswell. The bar is downstairs and you are called upstairs to the restaurant when a table becomes vacant. Not sure how the bar 'works', we had a drink downstairs before we went upstairs for our meal and when we finished we went downstairs to have another drink and the bar was closed, the lady had the chairs on the tables and was sweeping through and it was just after 9.00pm! I guess we should have stayed upstairs and had another drink, we weren't asked to leave, I think we could have stayed as long as we wanted. It's not posh at all, but not 'greasy Jo's cafe either.It's closed every Sunday night. We tried another similar priced restaurant a couple of doors away, it was ok, not much atmosphere, but staff were pleasant.Both are a short walk from the hotel. You can book rooms via the internet but if you want the family room you have to phone.

I hope this has been of some help.
