Hello--I will be travelling to Hungary in August with my 6 year old son and 11 year old daughter. My daughter will go off with a dance group and for a week it will only be my son and I. We would love to find a farm stay, or rent a peaceful place where we could explore villages and nature without him getting worn out. My daughter will be in the south, in Szeged, and we want to be there some but can go elsewhere some too. Other children, horses, swimming--all would be great! Does anybody have any suggestions or leads as to how to set this whole thing up? (We don't know a word of Hungarian either!) Thanks so much!

Try google on the internet.
I tend to check out accom on www.fewo24.de (But that is in German)
Another site I have found in www.holiday-home.com or holiday-rentals.com these are in english but I have not found that much. These websites tend to have photo's and descriptions of the accomodation. Hungry may be limited but these sites will tell you location and local things to do and prices. Usually the price is around 40 Euro's per day but weekly can be negotiated with some.
Give it a go and good luck.

Thanks! Any suggestions on how to find home or farm stays (where there might be other children) in Hungary? Also wondering how to find out about swimming, horseback riding, observing things we might not see at home (Portland, Oregon!) and other such kid friendly activities?

We went to Hungary when my daughter was 2 (she's 9 now). We rented a house in Szentendre and rented a car. But, we could train into Budapest. Did the national museum and the zoo in Budapest. ALso saw folk dance performances. One day we drove west to a National Park. I don't remember the name - but maybe 3 hours west of Budapest toward Debrecen. It had species of horses and pigs that are unique to the area. The horsemen did a trick riding show - that was fantastic. Very fun. There were also good souvenir stands for the embroidery.
