Child  Friendly, Toddler Friendly and Baby Friendly
Family Gite Holiday  in south west  France
Home
We have 2 young children and we have also been letting out our French holiday cottages to families
with
babies, toddlers and children here since 1996, Wendy is a registered child minder;  so we have
some experience of what children of
all ages enjoy and what makes their parents holidays enjoyable
too. Its usually the case that if the children are
happy then the parents are too.
Our large enclosed garden has a sandpit and
swings including a slide and baby swing.
These are set on an impact absorbing wood
chip surface (just in case). There is plenty of
space to
play boules or ball. The garden and
sandpit are directly opposite ruche and
horloge cottages and within view of papillon
and grenier. Our
Pirate Ship is the star
attraction and great for climbing. Our 3m
trampoline has a safety net for secure
bouncing fun. There are numerous
large
trees
around the garden creating plenty of
shade and also lots of super hiding places.
Our swimming pool is completely enclosed by a 1m80 high
fence and wall and is accessed by one gate which is
self closing
and has a
child proof latch. It is also alarmed for extra security.
It is heated to 27c using an efficient heat pump and even
younger children will happily swim / play in it. The older
children will be
hard to get out of it. We also have our baby
/Toddler splash pool, an above ground
HEATED (to 30c) pool,
perfect for young children,
toddlers and babies. There is a good
sized terrace surrounding the pools with plenty of sunbeds also a
number of
trees around the area which also provide shade in
different areas at different times of day.  
'Our children were able to run,
swim and play by themselves and
with other guests children in
safety which allowed us to relax
that little more on our family
holiday.'

What do we mean by Child Friendly and Family Friendly gite holiday ? Well, for a start we welcome families with young children. (generally under 8
yrs in peak season and pre schoolers at other times)That means that there will be other like minded families with children, all wanting an
enjoyable
relaxing stay
where there are other children for theirs to play with. If your children are entertained then it usually means you'll be able to relax that bit
more.
What else ? We have travel cots, highchairs and stairgates available, we have other items such as potty, child toilet seat, booster seats, toddler steps, bed
guards, baby rockers, steam sterilisers
all free of charge. The Enclosed garden has swings, slide and sand pit, PIRATE SHIP and TRAMPOLINE,
brilliant for climbing. The swimming pool area is completely enclosed from the gites and garden and accessed through a self closing gate with child proof
latch (stops access by children age 5yrs and under) complete with two heated pools. And don't forget we can also offer our
'babysitting service' so you
can
enjoy a night out or our day time mini creche service. What else do you need to make your holiday as relaxing as possible - tell us....

whilst I sit back an read my book ! Wendy and Chris provided cot, change mat, bath mat, steriliser,
baby chair, high chair, toys, videos - we really only needed to bring ourselves, clothes and swimming
