FACILITIES
La Germainiere is a lovely old farmhouse that has been completely renovated to create a beautiful holiday house with enormous character. The house is spread over three floors, and is extremely well-furnished and equipped for 12 people. Lovely gardens surround the house, and there is plenty of garden furniture allowing you to fully enjoy the outdoors during your holiday. There are stunning views over the peaceful Normandy countryside: just rolling fields and trees – total peace!
The magnificent 10m x 5m private heated swimming pool is a perfect place to sunbathe or swim, and is peacefully set on the sheltered lower lawn. You can relax on the huge south-facing terrace and enjoy the tranquility of the wooded valley below. Sun loungers and poolside furniture are provided, and there is a large, pretty timber chalet situated next to the pool.
For peace of mind, the pool is security fenced with a gate that can only be opened by an adult. There is a further gate that can be locked if there are young children present. Open from May to the end of October, use of the swimming pool is exclusive to La Germainiere.

GUESTS WITH CHILDREN:
The pool is fully security fenced as mentioned above for safety. On the first floor there is a large oak door that can close across the passage to Bedroom 2, which can be used as a stair gate for young children. On the top floor there is a stair gate across the stairs. We are happy to provide high chairs and cots for babies and infants but would prefer that guests bring their own cot linen. Children are welcome to play play football, badminton and other bat and ball games on the lawn at the side of the house and we also have a set of boules.
