Vallons-de-l'Erdre accommodation from NZ$116

Stayed here with my family and my brothers (4 adults and 5 children in total ages 7-15). We had a really great time. The facilities include a pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, petanque and a nice BBQ. It was perfect place for us all to spend time together. The pool is a little too deep for very small children to stand in (maybe 1.2m deep) BUT there is a small shelf around the sides just below the waterline which I think makes it a great pool to learn to swim in. With arm bands or a float jacket a small child could easily get in and out and at only around 4m across width ways it's a good distance for a small child to attempt their first swim going from shelf to shelf. There is a large washing machine and dryer for your clothes and plenty of cooking equipment. From here we visited Puy De Fou, Terra Botanica and Nantes (to see the castle and Les Machines). We had a great time on all three trips. We really enjoyed staying here. It was about a 6 hour drive from the Eurotunnel terminal in Calais.

Very cute hotel with amazingly friendly staff. My only complaint is that "air condition" is not truly air conditioning, and in the heat of summer it was quite hot in the room.
