Imagine renting a house in France without having to tote suitcases full of toys, books, linens, etc. None of this is necessary when you book at Country Kids, a fantastic place in beautiful countryside in South West France. When driving to the house we were astounded by the fantastic fields full of sunflowers, only to become more and more enchanted as we approached the house. It really is built on a fantastic site, with glorious views all around. And when we stepped inside the house we were even more amazed. The owners have done a superb job re-building this old barn, and we felt at home right away. Top quality linens, huge bath towels, comfy furnishings -- they really did it right. We really enjoyed the activities, even though it was difficult to leave the house sometimes -- we were enjoying ourselves so much just being there! But it was worth getting up from the sun loungers for the kayaking, horseback riding, jet skiing and caves... We would have done even more if we hadn't been experiencing a heatwave with weather of 40 + degrees. Our children really got along well with the owners' four children, and were busy all day with the table tennis, table football, climbing frame, fenced swimming pool and shaded sand pit -- something for all ages from toddlers to teens! My husband and I got some away time two evenings and ate in some delightful restaurants -- just the two of us, thanks to Tracey's babysitting! The whole experience was just terrific, and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We'll definitely be back!

We have just returned from a holiday at Country Kids. What an experience. We had a wonderful time. The facilities were fantastic. We didn't bring any toys (for once) for our three children aged 23 months 8 years and 9 years. They spent all day playing in the garden with the owners children, and when we had to leave for the activities that we booked they begged to stay!!! The activities were great. I think the children and my husband love the jet skiing while I loved the Quad biking. It was great to be able to do these things with the older children while the baby was looked after by Tracey and Martha. We had two evenings to ourselves while they baby sat. Which is rare for us even at home!!! Well worth the visit and we have booked alreay for next July. I am so happy we found this place!

We holidayed for a week in Country Kids with our 2 children sinead 7 and eoin 3 at the end of June. this is an exceptional place - clean , safe, classy, great hosts who really care that their guests have the best time possible. Absolutely loads to do for all age groups. Going on holidays can be a bit of a guessing game , and sometimes you are disappointed. There is absolutely no risk with this place. You will all have a great time. A really memorable experience for all the family.
