In a nutshell
The Normandy Barriere is a "fantastically child-friendly hotel." It's "glamorous and luxurious without being overly formal" and though it's "easily accessible from any of the Channel ports or Euro Tunnel", it "still felt unmistakably French." The babysitting service is "very good - we had a local paediatric nurse." What's more it boasts "wonderful service, a lovely indoor pool and a beautiful sandy beach on the doorstep." "The children are treated as well as the adults so everyone feels happy all the time." Mumsnetters agree: "expensive but worth it."
