The Alamo, a large 5 bedroom 12 person unit will open in time for June half term. The Alamo is a unique building. It was built by the Germans in WW2 as a target range for Meschesmitt planes to align their guns, a bit like a rifle range. It was built using the granite from the farm fields surrounding it and was made to look like a farm house (sort of!). After the war is was used as a store area. In the early 1970's when Les Ormes was a camp site it was used as the camp shop. By the mid 1990's Les Ormes opened the golf course and had ended camping. It was then used as a store and part of the green keepers shed.
The Alamo has granite and mounded earth on three sides facing the sea to the west. These will remain and the infill and east facing side will create the self catering unit. The two storey unit will have a roof terrace so guests can overlook the 9th golf hole and beautiful Rocco Tower in St Ouen's Bay.
This unit will be ideal for large families either three generation or two families together. It will be great for family gatherings.
As part of this project the Gravel car park will be paved with suitable lighting. The paving will have a special membrane to prevent any car oils seeping into the ground. This will give more spaces.
Les Ormes Farm located in a very quiet area about 200m away from the main Les Ormes buildings and on the side of the golf course will see one three bedroom and two one bedroom units ready for June half term. These buildings were built new in a contemporary style 5 years ago as staff units. The larger unit will sleep 6 and the smaller ones 2+2.
Bookings are being taken for these units now on the Les Ormes website www.lesormesjersey.co.uk
Our advice is always book early as you will save enormously on air fares. Once we get to the New Year the summer units fill up very quickly.
