Family holidays on a Finistère farm beckon at Feather Down - La Ferme de Penquelen, an organic dairy farm just under 10 minutes’ drive from the small town of Scaër. Managers Cyrille and Clara have set up everything here to make life as simple and comfortable as possible – you’ll be moving into spacious canvas tents with proper beds (and bed linen provided), a little kitchen corner and a bathroom with shower and toilet (and towels provided). Indoor and outdoor furniture means you’ll have plenty of options for places to relax, and there are lots of other additions thrown in too, including a woodburning stove, cooking equipment and a cool box. The tents are all set up along the edge of a spacious field, with trees for shade and lovely views across the meadows where the cows graze. It stands to reason then that you're likely to want to spend a fair amount of time out in the open – and again that’s been made nice and easy for you, with a picnic table, barbecue and firepit (and firewood) provided, plus hammocks slung in the trees for your alfresco snoozes. Kids can also spend time outdoors at the play area – or getting stuck in to farm life by meeting the menagerie (pigs, sheep, chickens, goats and rabbits as well as the cows), helping out with milking the cows and having donkey rides. Walks, horse riding and bike rides are all close by, too – or you could drive to the beach in 40 minutes or so to boost your outdoor time with a bit of sea air.

Local attractions

Hiking trails and cycle paths wind their way through the surrounding countryside, although it’s possible that some kids (and some grownups…) will prefer to see the landscapes from on high at Adrénature Adventure Park (25 minutes' drive). Back down at ground level, there are some great days out to be had seeing the half-timbered houses and visiting the Fine Arts Museum and Breton County Museum in Quimper (40 minutes) or exploring the walled old town of Concarneau (35 minutes) before hitting its sandy beaches for sunbathing and watersports. Elsewhere along the coast, there are plenty of other beaches to visit (Plage de Tahiti, 40 minutes away is a particular favourite) – or you can board boats for dolphin-spotting trips or outings to the gorgeous Glénan islands in Bénodet (50 minutes).
