Facilities for Bigger Kids


Our French gites have the following facilities to keep the children entertained so that you can all enjoy your holiday:

Swimming pool

Emerald Coast Gites (Brittany, France): Our heated 13m x 6m swimming pool area.Splash around with the kids in our secure 13 x 6 metre heated swimming pool. We have seen many a child learn to swim in the pool and is a great way for the kids to burn off energy.
There are dive buddies and other pool equipment to increase their fun and enjoyment.

During the school holidays, we run Midnight swimming sessions.  Not at midnight but basically as soon as it gets dark.  We turn on the lights and let the fun begin!  This is a big hit with the bigger children, as well as the parents!

For maximum safety, the pools are guarded by a security cover and the area is surrounded by a locked security fence. The cover and the fence both conform with the strict French swimming pool security standards.

Tent
We have also added a big Arabian tent, complete with large screen TV, Wii and lounging area for the kids to hang out.  We regularly hold movie nights in here in the evenings for the bigger kids where we provide the pop corn!!!

If your child has a birthday whilst staying with us, we can arrange a small bithday party in the soft play area.  Just ask and we can sort something out for you.
