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. ##### Jean H.

Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet B. 19 Nov 2018 #### 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. ##### Janet B. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faith C. 8 Oct 2018 #### 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. ##### Faith C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudine R., Rueil Malmaison 27 Jan 2018 #### 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. ##### Claudine R. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Louis M. 10 Jan 2018 #### 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. ##### Louis M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### gill m. 15 Oct 2017 #### 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. ##### gill m. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 13 Jun 2017 #### 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! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sun N Sand Hotel Mumbai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mumbai-Hotels-Sun-N-Sand-Hotel-Mumbai.h798914.Hotel-Information) > > [c-hotels Diplomat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-C-Hotels-Diplomat.h1112709.Hotel-Information) > > [Stormont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Stormont-Hotel.h26230.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta dos Poetas Nature Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhao-Hotels-Quinta-Dos-Poetas-Nature-Hotel-Apartments.h2458655.Hotel-Information) > > [Pegasus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Pegasus-Hotel.h2923693.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Swaffham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swaffham-Hotels.d4785.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Victoria Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Victoria-Island-Hotels.s50-0-d6354406.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Gairloch Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Gairloch-Hotel.h17515039.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Garden Brooklyn Sunset Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Wyndham-Garden-Brooklyn-Sunset-Park.h10645768.Hotel-Information) > > [Venus Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paphos-Hotels-Venus-Beach-Hotel.h1457659.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Times Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-OYO-Times-Square.h6697.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Hisaronu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Hisaronu-Hotels.s50-0-d6055697.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Chollerford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chollerford-Hotels.d181023.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [InterContinental Dublin by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-InterContinental-Dublin.h475902.Hotel-Information) > > [60 Hyde Park Gate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Baglioni-Hotel-London-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h23515.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Marrakech.h4270690.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Gleneagles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gleneagles-Hotels.d11258.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Aldeburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aldeburgh-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d4267-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels-Arctic-SnowHotel-Glass-Igloos.h12689601.Hotel-Information) > > [Stewart Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Stewart-Hotel.h758.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Crumlin (BFS) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bfs/lgw/belfast-to-london) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to St. Peter (JER)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/jer/manchester-to-jersey) > > [Flights from Ballasalla (IOM) to London (LCY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/iom/lcy/isle-of-man-to-london) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Belgrade (BEG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/beg/manchester-to-belgrade) > > [Flights from Chennai (MAA) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/maa/bhx/chennai-to-birmingham) ### Cars > [Car hire in Nelson](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Nelson.d6194600.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Christchurch Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch.d179996.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Rorke's Drift Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rorkes-Drift.d6126029.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Patras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patras.dx7503)
