Good people of ED (happy new year!)

I am looking for recommendations for a child friendly hol in France.

Needs to be a cottage, ideally on a farm with farmy activities for the kids. Not really fussed where in France as it will be May so average weather everywhere. Will have a 2.8 year old and 6 month old.

Any recommendations please!

Hi there... just wanted to recommend my brother and sister-in-law's gites in Brittany. They have an alpaca farm (as well as chickens, dogs etc) and beautiful gites. We have two year old twins and they have a blast whenever we go to stay. It is very child-friendly - kids can collect the eggs every day, help with animals etc. You can go on lovely walks directly from the gites into the woods and their farm is at the end of a long, country road so no traffic at all other than the tractor (which the kids love). Lots of fun things to do nearby, including an amazing, huge (and usually pretty empty) softplay centre in nearby Pontivy. They can provide cots, highchairs etc with enough notice, as well as a big box of toys. If you google them, they are "Quelvehin Alpagas".

We have a cottage, le petit tresor (www.le-tresor.com), which may be of interest to you? It is next to the chambres d'hotes. The cottage is self catering, but you have the option of having breakfasts and evening meals served to you! If this is not want you are looking for try Montengrand.com.

    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
