Family Planning for Summer Holidays

Planning a Summer holiday for you and your gal is one thing but planning one with the kids in mind is quite another.  You probably expect that you will be in for a very different holiday now that your car is stuffed to the roof rack with kiddy gear and your best beach frock is now being used to mop up unmentionable mess.  So aside from the ‘gay and lesbian friendly’ thing you will also now be looking for ‘child friendly’ places to stay. 

From the get go Further Afield has always supported alternative family holidays and believe very strongly in the Littlepink ethos of helping same-sex parents feel comfortable and supported at home or away. So we quickly developed a ‘child friendly’ theme to our website of hand-picked places to stay for gay and lesbian travellers. 

Here is a selection of some of our favourites family friendly places to stay in the UK, France, Spain and Italy. There are many more at www.furtherafield.com
