Our group of 9 have just enjoyed a great relaxing 5 day stay. We were all very impressed by the size and quality of the accommodation. The heated pool was great and well used. We found everything clean and tidy with good sized rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of glasses, cups, crockery and cookware. Having a huge table and dining area separate from the large living area was much appreciated. We were provided with ample wood for the wonderful open fire in the living room. Having entry via a key safe but someone to hand close by in case of problems was ideal.All in all a great property and we would happily visit again.

It was a pleasure to welcome you all and we’d be delighted to welcome you back again soon.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location

Everything we could need and close to most of the major attractions such as Mont Still Michel, Bayeux and the beaches. A truly lovely Normandy holiday with a wonderful pool and garden for the kids. Highly recommend Champereus Zoo too.

Spacious and comfortable

My family really enjoyed our time here. There is a lot of space which is a bonus for a large family group. The kids (and adults) particularly loved the pool which was deliciously warm - even when the weather wasn't. The table tennis table was in constant use. There is a homely and friendly atmosphere about the house and the location is brilliant for the many visits we made around Normandy.

Location is amazing and perfect to head to Granville and Mont St Michel. Lots of little villages around also to explore. So close to the beach by car. House size is fantastic and pool is such a fantastic added benefit to use. House could do with better fans for sleeping on hot nights in every room. Kitchen is so well equipped. We played games out the cupboard and kids played tabletennis badminton and used the bikes. We were family of 9 so house size was perfect

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the location, especially being close to the beach, Granville, and Mont St Michel – it's such a beautiful area to explore. We're also glad the house, pool, and all the games and equipment helped make your stay fun and comfortable for all ages. Thank you as well for the helpful feedback about the fans – we really appreciate it. We find if the shutters are kept closed in the hot weather the house keeps very cool. It was a pleasure to host your family of 9, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future! Sue

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille dans ce gîte tout à fait adapté pour un groupe avec enfants: calme, grands espaces extérieurs sans aucune circulation. Nous avons aussi apprécié la déco rustique.La piscine est un élément essentiel de ce gîte, elle est vaste et TRES bien chauffée ce qui permet de l'utiliser même lorsque le soleil n'est pas au RDV.Les personnes qui s'occupent du jardin et de la piscine sont charmantes.Arrivée très facile.

Perfect house for a family holiday!

La Germainiere House is lovely. Off the beaten track but in easy reach of plenty of interesting things. We were four generations travelling together but the house catered for us all. Grampa loved making us a cozy log fire when it got chilly. The children loved the space to play and run around. The pool area is amazing and the ping pong table was a lovely bonus. Even the weather was good for an autumn break, so we got to see and do lots of things in the area. Would definitely visit again.

Beautiful Normandie farmhouse

The beautiful farmhouse has all amenities you could possibly wish for. The house was immaculately clean, homely and very relaxing. The gardens were lovely and the pool was just perfect to cool down in the summer sun. The area is so convenient for exploring the beachside villages or local historical sires. Very enjoyable holiday, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Would highly recommend and hope to return.

bonne impression

Avons passé 4 jours dans cette maison très agréable et chaleureuse. Salon très agréable et convivial, chambres et sanitaires très bien. N'avons pas pu tester la piscine puisque nous étions en décembre. Seul bémol, il faut être anglais car la majorité des indications est dans cette langue, ce qui est dommage lorsqu'on loue une maison en France.

Bonne impression mais

mais vous ne nous avez pas informé que la TV était uniquement en anglais, wi-fi très faible et communication presque impossible (difficile pour des enfants entre 27 et 37 ans) et manque bouilloire électrique. La maison est agréable, les parties communes (cuisine, salle à manger, salon) sont vastes pour loger 12 personnes. Nous avons à cette époque beaucoup apprécié et utilisé la cheminée.

Ideal for a group visit.

9 of us stayed at La Germaniere and were very impressed with the accommodation. The facilities were ideal for a group and the house is lovely - a mix of traditional and modern. The description on the website is absolutely accurate and everything was provided as we were told. We would certainly recommend the accommodation to others.

Stunning property with plenty of amenities.

Very impressive frontage on arrival. Completely isolated apart from one other property nearby. The facilities were ideal for our party which comprised four young children, oldest five years old, and four adult couples. The best facility was the heated pool which was a sun trap. It was an ideal size and depth for for both adult swimming and children playing. Being surrounded by a childproof fence was another big plus. The only criticism was some of the beds were a bit lumpy and the bathrooms were shared. We did have one wet day but between table tennis, English tv, dvds, board games etc we kept adequately amused. The restaurants and sights that were recommended in by the owners totally exceeded expectations. We were unanimous in the opinion that we would return to such a beautiful house in a such a lovely setting!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed such a lovely holiday with your family at La Germainiere and loved our stunning farmhouse and its amazing peaceful setting. The pool is always a great hit with families, particularly with young children. We too love staying there and have spent many happy holidays at La Germainiere. The beds and mattresses are checked and replaced regularly. We are over there next week so I will double check them again then. Thanks for your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you all again soon. Sue
