Three cottages on a farm in southern Brittany sound delightful. Looking at the photos of the landscape, the sheep and the pool makes it even more tempting. This is an excellent option if traveling with children, as they provide equipment such as cribs, baby gates, and high chairs. Babysitting is also available.
