Overview
A fairytale escape of epic proportions, Domaine des Etangs proves you don’t have to put the finer things in life on hold because you’re with the little ones. Whatever your age, boredom is strictly *off* the agenda at this romantic, sprawling Estate. While children will revel in roaming free, exploring the gardens, ponds and forests, there’s plenty of supervised fun too in the place of a traditional Kids Club – with happy-to-help staff leading excursions and serving up delicious afternoon tea treats, leaving parents free to indulge in the award winning spa or just sip on a cocktail in peace. There are plenty of activities to enjoy together, too, whether you’d rather take to the water in a rowing boat, explore the grounds on horseback or picnic in a hidden meadow spot. The charming attic Games room is packed to the rafters with toys and treasure boxes come rain, while come shine, two sparkling pools await
