7 night stay end of August: Family of 4 (Kids aged 7&8)

4 September 2025 at 13:18:55
Accommodation: 2 bed basic - Clean, tidy and up together. Slightly cramped for storage space and no oven (not massive issues as we knew this anyway).
Site:
Outdoor pool complex - Newly built and brilliant fun for all. 3 great slides and perfect kids splash area with smaller slides. Lovely outdoor pool... and lounger area (weather dependant! Unfortunately, only a couple short spells for us, but we enjoyed it while we could).
Indoor Pool Complex - I think the size of this pool suited our children (7&8, beginner swimmers), as we could see them at all times. 2 indoor slides, shallow Bay Area and short river swim area under the slides.
I think the indoor complex is in need of an update though as the changing facilities are basic and the whole place looks slightly dated. That said, we went swimming every day and the kids throughly enjoyed themselves. (We have been to Des Ormes the last 2 years, so the comparison comes from the indoor complex they have, which is very impressive).
Adventure Park/High Ropes - We didn’t actually manage to go on this, but had a look and it looks absolutely brilliant (one for next year).
Volleyball & Pétanque pitches - Again, didn’t manage to play as the weather was not on our side, but something we are looking forward to next year!
City Stade & Bouncy Castle - spent an hour or two over the course of the week here. Kids loved the small bouncy castle and managed to get in a small sided game of football on the sports pitch.
Small Kids Play area - Kids spent 20-30mins here when we first arrived. Basic small park on stones.
Shop - Very basic food wise. They do Croissants and bread, but unfortunately we were late risers every day so they never had any left. Luckily the site is a 4/5 minute walk away from an absolutely amazing boulangerie and the supermarket (I think this maybe plays into what they have available onsite as it would be hard to compete with what is only few minutes walk away).
Laundry - Used most days to dry our towels and swimwear as the sun wasn’t doing it for us.
Onsite restaurant/food - Didn’t eat at the Le Prad as seemed a bit overpriced and fancy for what we were after.
We had burgers and hot dogs with fries on our first night at the snack area (we didn’t eat on site again! Overpriced and underwhelming. Also, the beer I bought seemed overpriced at 8Euros, so again, didn’t buy another drink all week from there.
Entertainment - We came right at the end of August and we did not use the kids club, so cannot comment too much.
We did however watch the final show of the season on the Friday which was performed by all the entertainment staff and we throughly enjoyed it. I do feel some of the entertainment could start a bit earlier though, especially for those with kids.
The show was performed on the stage within a huge white marquee/tent. They do also have external performers who come in on other evenings, but we didn’t manage to see any of these.
One thing I did notice, which seemed very positive! The relationship between the entertainment staff and the owners of the park seemed very good and they were all very appreciative of each other and all smiles, laughter and full of admiration! You don’t always see/get this with management/owners and the staff, but it was very visible at the end of the last show, which was nice to see.
Location - The location of the site is very close to Benodet and its lovely beach. Luckily we had a clear/sunny spell on our 2nd day and spent a few hours on the beach and in the sea, then walked up the estuary and got a small boat over to Saint-Marine and found a lovely creperie overlooking the small bay.
Not far away are both Quimper and Concaeneua which we visited. Quimper for the market, cathedral and wander around and Concaeneua for the walled town and harbourside. I’m sure they are more local places to visit next year!
We visited La Playce in Quimper on the last day as it was raining hard and this place looked brilliant. The kids did bowling, Parkour, arcade games and a fun immersive game. The other areas were closed due to being out of season (start of Sep), but we’d go back again in season to get involved in the other stuff.
Pandaventure - Soft play nearby which we were going to visit on the last day but was only open weekends and Wednesday out of season.
We did find this with a few things onsite and offsite for our last 2 days as our holiday did rollover into September.
Slight negative: loo roll and hand soap in the communal toilets within the pool area and around the site. This should be a non negotiable.
Summary - The weather definitely hampered our holiday this year and we had multiple torrential downpours! However, we did manage to get out and about to visit this part of Brittany and spend time within the site enjoying the facilities on offer.
I think we will be back again next year, as we haven’t quite seen all we wanted to see and been able to use all the facilities on site at there best. Here’s hoping to better weather next year! ☀️ We have had a great time and the kids have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I would recommend this site for families with infant/junior school aged children.
