HYGIENE AND SAFETY AT  LA FERME DE L’OUDON

Is it safe to stay at Ferme de L’Oudon?

At La Ferme de L’Oudon, we are lucky to be able to offer fully individual and independent accommodations nestled in the heart of our magnificent Normandy countryside. All of our accommodation has an independent entrance leading directly to the outside of the farm building, thus preventing our guests from crossing paths and limiting the risk of physical contact. In addition, all our accommodations have either a garden, a patio or a private terrace for a stay in complete independence and privacy. Enjoy a stay in the great outdoors in complete serenity.

However, in order to limit the risks of infection linked to the virus, rest assured that our entire team has implemented new hygiene and distancing measures to ensure you a safe stay. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to consult our information note on this subject. You’ll find all the answers to your questions.
