Les Ormes Domaine et Resort

We have visited here a few times now and enjoy it. We always go out of season when it's quite as it is a big site with everything going for it. For us, peak season would not be our cup of tea as we suspect it would be far too busy and noisy, that's just us though. If you have kids, in peak season this is the place to be as every activity for all ages is covered. The Dome pool complex is out of this world. We're looking forward to seeing the new development finished. There are loads of lovely places to visit in the area. The nearby town, Dol du Bretagne is worth a visit. The main ancient street with it's timber buildings are fab as is the Saturday morning market. Get there early to get parked. Also in the town area are a couple of big supermarkets, petrol station, car wash, restaurants etc so well catered for. Coast about a 10-15 minutes drive away. We would recommend and we will certainly be back but as I said off season for us, enjoy your stay.

I should firstly inform.. we stayed on a camping pitch with electricity in July, 2 adults 2 children. For a 5* camping.. I was pretty disappointed. In short: Good points: - plenty of entertainment and activities for the kids - enthusiastic kids club entertainment - quiet at night on the camping - food can be hit and miss in the pizza restaurant but staff good - nice spar supermarket with fresh bread/croissants/pan au chocolat in the morning - felt safe letting the kids explore alone Bad points: - free wifi in the bar was impossibly slow, especially if busy - wifi could be bought for 25euros a week! - toilets were ALWAYS dirty and/or had no paper ( unless you count the paper strewn on the floor ) and no soap. - showers dirty, missing tiles, water ran for 4 seconds before you need to press the knob again... HOLES BETWEEN CUBICLES! confetti-ed with short & curlies. - bar staff very slow, even when not busy - paint flaking off the pool floor outside - dirty water puddles you have to walk through to enter the pool - parts of indoor pool smelled mouldy - washing up sinks leaked through the tap and were always dirty - our camping pitch was brown from previous tenants.. and showed no signs of growing back I dont think the fact there are many pools/restaurants/attractions makes up for the lack of basic cleanliness and upkeep of a 5* resort, especially when we pay a 5* price, hence my lower rating.

Having been to Des Ormes three times previously, we were looking forward to our return trip this summer. So disappointed with the standard of hygiene in the gites - filthy toilets, matresses and showers. Dead flies and spiders everywhere in the date of move in and all the crockery/cutlery in the kitchen was filthy. Reported to management... nothing could be done. We won’t be back! Disgusting... both in terms of hygiene and in terms of response from the management.

Oh, Domaine des Ormes! Where do I even begin? This campsite is simply divine! Nestled amongst the Breton woodlands, it's like living in a fairy tale, only with better plumbing (and hopefully less grumpy trolls). Now, some might warn you about the "local wildlife." Don't let those pesky travel bloggers with their fancy cameras scare you with tales of bloodthirsty mosquitos. Nonsense! These little critters are more like social butterflies... well, social vampire butterflies perhaps. They do enjoy a good natter and a chinwag over a spot of your finest O positive, but hey, that's just their way of showing affection, right? Besides, a bit of mozzie repellent and a good dose of Irish wit (which you'll find in abundance here) keeps them at bay. Speaking of the Irish, this campsite is practically an Emerald Isle reunion! You'll hear more craic and ceol (that's fun and music for the uninitiated) than a leprechaun convention. The friendly banter is enough to chase away any lingering mozzie blues, and let's be honest, there's nothing funnier than a gaggle of pasty-faced Brits trying (and failing) to master a jig after a few pints of Guinness. Domaine des Ormes is pure magic, with a healthy dose of Irish charm thrown in for good measure. Just be sure to pack your midge repellent, your best one-liners, and an extra bottle of holy water (for those particularly enthusiastic mosquitos, ahem). You won't regret a single giggle, céad míle fáilte (that's a hundred thousand welcomes)!

First time as a family holidaying in France. Les Ormes is the perfect place for an active holiday centred around the kids. The pools were fantastic. The Dome has things for everyone to enjoy, water flumes, wave machines, aqua aerobics, and a lazy river. We swam every day. The kids loved it! Everywhere was kept SO clean too. We did the pony riding which was a wonderful, special memory and the pedalo is a lovely, relaxing way to spend time as a family too. We stayed in a tao mobile home directly through les ormes, very clean with comfortable beds. Take cleaning stuff and extra bin bags with you, along with cooking additions such as butter, oil, salt and pepper. The accommodation can with a microwave and hob to cook on. There wasn't an oven which was unusual but not a big problem at all. The animation team go all out for the big show. I've never seen such a theatrical spectical, the attention to detail and amazing fireworks display was something we will fondly remember. Recommend the pizza restaurant was a hit, really delicious fresh pizzas. The shop on site has plenty of things to buy, a little more expensive, but to be expected. Les Ormes, we had the best time. Your staff team are a credit to you.

We had been looking forward to this trip since we booked it & it was our first time going to France in our Campervan, we made a single booking for 2 pitches, one for us & one for our friends (each 2 parents & 2 children) on arrival we were told that we were not together & if we had wanted 2 pitches together we should have paid extra & put it in the notes, there was no option to do this when I booked & that was the exact reason for doing it as one booking rather than two & it getting lost in translation! So not a great start! The pitch that we did have that we all crammed into in the end was very shaded & therefore very chilly. It seemed to be that the French guests got the better pitches. The toilet/shower block is unisex & always clean but there are not enough toilets, always a wait for one no matter what time of day. Showers only stay on for between 6 & 8 seconds at a time which is very frustrating! Lots of washing up stations which was good but not many water refill stations. The little shop on site was good, fresh bread everyday & a array of food, meat, cheese, milk, juice, beer, wine & ice cream etc as well as souvenirs at a decent price & pool wear & accessories. The indoor pool is brilliant, loads of different areas & things to do & lots of chairs dotted around. Sadly we didn’t get to use the outdoor pools as it was too cold. Mini golf was good & reasonably priced. We also did horse riding which was good & foot golf which was a great laugh despite the rain! The drinks, especially soft drinks, at the bar are quite expensive. The pizza restaurant is great, pasta & pizza both delicious & well worth a visit, you can always get the pizza to take away too!
