looking for holiday in north east France - cottage/gite - family of 6

[Ladyemem]

Can anyone recommend a lovely place to stay with my family of 2 adults and 4 children.(17, 13, 10, 8 years old) max 3 hours drive from calais.

Would prefer it to have internet connection/wifi.

Anything like, tennis court, swimming pool, football posts/snooker table/games room/trampoline/woodland/play area etc would be a great bonus but NOT essenntial.

ideally would have a large mature garden, in the country, lovely clean and homely interior.

If you have stayed in one or own one then please tell us.

Thankyou

have you considered a mobile home? Won't your kids get bored in a gite with nothing much to do? if you are interested in campsites in brittany i can advise.

didnt think they had any mobile homes big enough for all of us. Which campsite would you recommend going to in Brittany?

we recently stayed in a fab house with loads to do cottages 4 you/france/ quiestede!

Belgium rather than France but the Ardennes are lovely - and should be doable in under 3 hours from Calais. I like this one but this website has lots of lovely houses.

lady - they do 3 bed ones - there are 5 of us and we've never filled the place. just thrown my book away but from memory dol de bretagne - chateau des ormes (little noisy but lots going on for teenagers and great football), les deux fontaines (walk through fields to beach), la grande metairie carnac (excellent area/beaches but might be too far to travel, also more reliable weather). d'atlantique - again walk through fields to nice beach. ukcampsites.co.uk also have reviews. thinking about it you get lots of families with 4 kids, but i would go for one of the largest vans.

some have wifi - not sure if these sites do
