From our Visitors Book:
 

"A thoroughly enjoyable week...[our son] has loved it here"

 
"Very relaxing and very very children friendly. We've all a lovely time."
 

"Exactly what we wanted - good location, excellent hosts...and attention to detail for our kids' needs was all-encompassing."

"Refreshing to find family friendly accomodation that catered for all our kids needs, the salt water pool was a big hit with all even probably your youngest visitor of only 3 months old!"

"The parents loved the trampoline and managed a consitent 6.9 throughout the week - although the Dads' swivel lifts need work."

      

For Children

Holidaying with young children and babies can sometimes be a less relaxing experience than it should be, not helped by the huge amounts of equipment that even the smallest baby needs.  Our aim is to do everything possible to alleviate your stress, and to give your children (and you) the best holiday possible.

Both our properties are situated on the edges of villages, in a rural environment  with fresh clean air and plenty of space for your children to run around and make as much noise as they like. 

 

We have lively young children ourselves, and have used our experiences holidaying with them to shape the accommodation we offer.

Both gardens contain a play area, including a sand-pit, climbing frame with slide, and a wooden Wendy house as well as other outside toys which will be available. 

The play areas are situated close to your private terrace so you can linger over your after lunch coffees whilst your children play.
 

 

The pools have been especially designed with children in mind.  Both have shallow areas for toddlers.  Steps lead into the shallow sections for ease of access.  The pools are boiler heated to a comfortable temperature for both you and your children (as far as children are concerned a cold pool may as well be no pool at all).  The pools are fully fenced for safety.  We have adopted saline sterilisation systems in preference to less costly conventional chlorine; this is far kinder to skin and eyes.

For ths year we have added a full sized trampoline for both play areas.  They are great fun for all the family, but particularly good for slightly older children who have out grown climbing frames.  (also particularly good for Dads who haven't outgrown anything.)

The accommodation includes all the items you would normally need when holidaying with children:-
 

·         High chairs

·         Toddler booster seats

·         Children's table and chairs

·         Toy box - with toys suited to the ages of your children (includes Duplo Lego!)

·         Children's plastic plates, bowls and cups, and children's cutlery

·         Steriliser for baby bottles (on request)

·         Blender to make baby food (and microwave to heat it up)

·         Bouncy chair

·         Stair-gate for stairs to the mezzanine at Les Alouettes (note that most of Les Alouettes is on the ground floor) and to the upper floor in La Maison.

·         Proper cots for a good nights sleep

·         Blackout blinds in rooms with Velux windows

·         Cotton waffle blankets in cots

·         Baths, with bath mats, in both our properties (young children sometimes aren't keen on showers)

·         Toddler toilet seats, with steps, and potties

·         Changing table for baby

·         Baby listener

We also provide a buggy hire service (including an all terrain buggy for beach trips), which you may find useful especially if you are flying.
 

Whilst we cannot guarantee a totally safe environment (we don't have a padded cell!) we have made strenuous efforts to make your holiday home as safe as possible.  We have safety catches on some of the kitchen cupboards where chemicals and breakables are stored. We do not have bunk beds in our properties as we do not regard them as suitable for young children.
 

We can provide evening meals on request, including a separate children's menu.  Babysitting is available, to enable you to sample some of the fantastic local cuisine in peace.
