Steve and Judi (Grandparents of Rory and Harry)
What a precious few days we have spent with some very special people, in an amazing place, so conducive to fun and relaxation for all members of the family. Thank you Razia and Tim for the warmth of your welcome and your hospitality. You have developed an amazing concept at Artagnan and we are leaving all too soon but with treasured memories.
Tom, Gaby and Cosmo (17 months) Richards – June 2015
Thank you for the most fabulous and relaxing week. We had a wonderful time especially Cosmo who adored his mornings and afternoons with The Colemans. Thank you for being so sweet with him and for such a brilliant family holiday. We cannot wait to come back x
Charlotte, Richard, May (4 and a half) and Herb (2) – June 2015
A joyous holiday had by all. To cap it off – singing frogs! What could be finer. Thanks again for all your help and kindness. We really did feel it was the “best holiday ever.” You have a very special place.
Clare and Jules Colborne Baber – May 2015
Another fabulous holiday at Artagnan – the children were so happy and loved their mornings with Razia in “kids club” which meant that we had much-needed time to relax together. The wonderful Coleman family couldn’t have done any more to make our holiday relaxing and memorable. Just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you all.
Alex (8 months), Nick (2), Amanda and James Byers (London/San Francisco) – September 2014
A spectacular vacation! Thank you to Razia and Tim for creating a relaxing and restful experience, with a beautiful home, excellent advice, thoughtful touches and an amazing experience for our kids. Nick (2), especially was thrilled to race over to the barn each day to see what creative activities Razia had planned. He came home happily chattering about his day and exhausted from all the fun. YouÕve created a wonderful family getaway!
Alfie (3) Daisy (2) Rachel and Mark Hewland – September 2014
Thank you so much Tim & Razia for an incredible week, by far the best holiday we have had with the kids! You guys have created the perfect setup – we have loved our time here. Shall look forward to next year especially through the Winter months x
Ollie (3) Oscar (7) Claire and James Barclay – August 2014
Thank you for yet another unbelievably relaxing holiday here at Artagnan (4th visit). We always arrive with high expectations and every year those expectations are exceeded. We have relaxed, refreshed and de stressed completely.
Claire and Paul – August 2014
We’ve enjoyed a spectacularly wonderful time here at Artagnan a terrific respite from the chaos and noise of everyday life Ð very relaxing on every level to spend time with great friends in such a beautiful place.
Romilly (4), Bertie (2), Krista and Mat Morrison – August 2014
Hard to think how this could have been a better holiday, our hosts kinder or more attentive, or the toy chest more overflowing. Thank you so much from both adults and (more importantly) from Romilly and Bertie
Henry and Antonia Stewart with Serena (5), Xandie (3) and Annabel (1) – July 2014
Thank you so much for such a lovely week with you at Artagnan. We all loved it and the children had a blast! We have tried several options for family holidays over the past few years and we both felt that last week was the best yet; the combination of nice weather, a lovely place to stay, knowing that the children were having a lovely time in the mornings but in a homely way rather than in a more stereo-typical “kids club”, being able to do a bit of work as necessary and yet still have time to relax and then all have time together. It was our IDEAL holiday! Thank you also for doing the (enormous!) weekly shop for us at the beginning – not having to go to the supermarket makes all the difference!!
James, Elise, Thomas (3 1/2) and Elektra (1 3/4) – July 2014
Perfect in every way.
Many thanks for a wonderful stay at Artagnan
You have created the most incredible experience for families with young children. Our two flourished over the course of the week in no small part due to their time spent with you both and with Louis, Eva and George.
Thank you also for the most incredible drinks on Sunday it was a feast and the most delicious nibbles.
How you manage to make it all work so magnificently and smoothly is extraordinary
Best wishes
James and Elise
Camilla and Andrew Symington with children Freddie (3) and George (1) – July 2014
Absolutely excellent from start to finish! We all had a fantastic week, especially our two little boys who adored Razia and Tim! Thank you so much.
Andrew, Juliet, Annabel and Edward – June 2014
Another wonderful week at Artagnan! Marvellous hospitality and the kids loved every minute of kids club.
Virginia, Chris, Monty (2) and Archie (1) with Grandparents Anthony and Susan – June 2014
We had a fantastic week here with our 2 boys, aged 1 and 2, and my parents. The house is gorgeous – spacious, very comfortable and all the equipment is first class. The owners are incredible – so welcoming and helpful, but not at all intrusive. Our boys spent every morning having enormous fun with Razia and her children. They learned huge amounts from them and loved every minute. We had a super time too, and enjoyed having time being a couple again, as well as having hours of fun with the boys in the pool and fabulous garden. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Lance, Clare, Ella (2) and Harrison (9 months) /Johnny, Kirsty, Finn (2) and Callum (11 months) – June 2014
We have had a BRILLIANT week! Your thoughtfulness, attention to detail, warm welcome and consideration of all our needs combined with a beautiful home in a gorgeous location have meant we have felt happy and relaxed and return to the UK very refreshed.
Thank you for your kindness and energy with all our 4 children they’ve Loved it and we felt totally happy leaving them with you. THANK YOU

John, Onnagh and Sirkka “sausage” – June 2014
Finally a holiday with children that’s actually a rest. Seriously you have cracked the code far better than we ever imagined: From your amazing hospitality to Tim’s unique ability to get “Sausage” to wear a hat – its been perfect thank you.
Paul, Wendy, Frank (4) and Oliver (2) Ð June 2014
This place is just as good as you might hope from reading the other reviews, in fact it took us a while to believe that it wasn’t too good to be true.
Overall Experience Rating: 100%
