If your idea of a perfect family holiday involves zero stress, plenty of fun for the kids, and the chance to actually relax, then Country Kids in the South of France might just be your dream destination. 

Set in a beautifully restored 17th-century Roquefort cheese dairy, this small but perfectly formed resort promises an all-inclusive experience that’s designed entirely with families in mind. Plus, with their “Absolutely Everything Included” package, the whole family is guaranteed to have a super, all-inclusive stay. 

What makes Country Kids special? 

The resort blends luxury, comfort and personalisation, ensuring every family member is catered for. 

Unlike large, impersonal resorts, Country Kids offers seven private apartments that create a warm, intimate environment where little ones can roam freely while parents switch off.

In fact, from the moment you arrive, their dedicated team will cater to your every need and will provide an ultra-personalised service that allows you to relax while your DC explore and play freely. 

The “Absolutely Everything Included” package takes care of all the details, so you can focus on making memories instead of making plans. 

Here’s what’s on offer: 

  • Spacious, family-friendly apartments: thoughtfully designed and fully equipped with hotel-style services, so you can settle in straight away.

  • Exceptional childcare: no need to book in advance. The crèche (for babies from three months) and Kids Club (for up to 12-year-olds) offer drop-in care whenever you need it.

  • Babysitting evenings: enjoy a peaceful dinner while a trusted babysitter looks after the kids in your apartment.

  • Fresh gourmet meals: locally sourced, delicious food with plenty of child-friendly options, plus unlimited snacks and treats.

  • A car-free, safe environment: with plenty of outdoor space, including a playground, mini-golf, a zip line, a sandpit, and even a petting farm.

  • Heated pool and spa: a family-friendly swimming area plus an adult-only zone complete with a pool, a whirlpool, and a sun deck.

  • Activities galore: think swimming lessons, yoga sessions, cycling, tractor rides, tennis, and pétanque, plus evening entertainment for all ages.

  • A stocked café, bar, shop, and wine cellar: open 24/7, so you’re never caught out when hunger (or the need for a glass of wine) strikes. 

With the resort’s concierge service, every little detail of your stay will be taken care of so you can focus on what truly matters - those unforgettable family memories.

Guilt-free relaxation for parents, non-stop fun for kids

Arguably one of the biggest draws of Country Kids is the childcare on offer. The drop-in crèche and Kids Club mean there’s no rigid scheduling—just flexibility, so you can enjoy your holiday your way. Little ones can play, rest, and explore under the watchful eyes of expert childcare professionals, while older kids enjoy outdoor adventures, games, and crafts.

And if you fancy a proper evening out, the babysitting service means you can enjoy the local gastronomy without a side order of bedtime battles.

Food and drink: French flavours, fuss-free dining

Country Kids takes food seriously but without any of the faff. Parents can indulge in gourmet French cuisine, while children enjoy healthy, balanced meals designed with their tastes in mind. 

Think freshly baked pastries, artisan cheeses, and regional specialties, all made with top-quality local ingredients. There’s even freshly prepared baby food on hand for the youngest guests.

As part of the all-inclusive package, you can also enjoy free ice cream every day, along with unlimited drinks, snacks, and treats. Whether it’s a barista-made café crème in the morning or a hand-picked local wine in the evening, the focus is on high-quality, stress-free dining.
