Soooooo............where to take my two (11 and 8) on a week's holiday in July? I want something interesting for me as well as them, looking at camping in Wales or France, doing a week surfing course in Cornwall, maybe a safari.....

I've looked at the single parent holiday companies and they do look a bit like dating and childcare services, and I have no desire to end up in a hotel with a whole bunch of desparate single mums telling me what a git their ex is over their Pinot Grigio.

Any ideas?

Drive through France and hire a Gite, or camp, plenty to keep kids busy. Does it make any odds if you are single or not? If you want to avoid the single mums, I'd just opt for any standard family holiday

Why ever not?

An 'activity holiday' could be good for you too, no?

Have a look at Eurocamp, somewhere warmer on the west of France like around La Rochelle or Bordeaux. Rent some bikes when you get there and have a relaxing but enjoyable time. Their camps are very safe and the children will love it.

Alternatively, Norbert's suggestion above sounds good too!

Not really, looking at RV rental in Florida, for example.
