We have exactly what you are looking for, sleeps up to 17 adults in two houses, all bedrooms en suite, huge games/party room, heated pool and acres of private grounds. Not Brittany but only 40 minutes drive from Rodez or an hour and a half from Toulouse. This is us:

thanks everyone, that's all very helpful. I'll check them out.

Have sent you a PM

We advertise here as we have a gite in France (small one!)

actually, just thought, a friend has this house

We've booked through www.cottages4you.co.uk before and there's a 7% mumsnet discount too.

Might be worth getting a copy of their brochure rather than just looking online as then it's easier to spot smaller adjoining / neighbouring properties that can be booked together.

Chez Nous
Brittany Ferries have an associated site and you can get a big discount on bookings

We need to find a house to rent next summer for a family celebration for 20 of us (10 adults, 10 kids aged 2-12), somewhere in France that's either a fairly short drive from a ferry port, or not far from a major airport. I've looked on Owners Direct & not come up with anything.

Does anyone know of any websites that would be good to search on, or even better, can recommend somewhere?

thanks
