Brittany, Les Gîtes de Kerdalidec

Les Gîtes de Kerdalidec - We stayed in the Longhouse which had 5 bedrooms, during the last two weeks of August. A mixed group of French and English. There were six adults and five children under seven years old. We found the facilities in the property to be ideal and it was good that we could leave the youngsters to roam the gardens as there was very little that they could harm themselves with. The problem was usually with each other. They all loved feeding the rabbits and eating the raspberries which were beginning to ripen (sorry Debby).Debby was always available for advice when we needed it. The single large room downstairs was good as we could keep an eye on the children while preparing food. In the evening the only sounds to be heard were those self inflicted following the compulsory glasses due to the French wine drunk between the children's bedtime and ours. The beautiful beach near the house was great for kids with plenty of rock pools. A morning visit to the bread shop next to the supermarket was compulsory (it opens at 0700) and the Casino supermarket was also handy. The Tuesday visit to the market is also a must as you can buy huitres (oysters) for about £3.50 a dozen. There is a stubby knife in the kitchen drawer to enable you to get them opened up. The Internet access was also important for us to keep in contact with home. We would not hesitate to use Les Gîtes de Kerdalidec again or recommend it to others. It is ideal for families with young children
