We absolutely love our holidays at Artagnan and have just completed our fourth consecutive year. If you are looking for a quieter holiday (which we always are!) then this area of rural France is perfect; it is rural, simple and quiet and gives to your children the ability to have fun, outdoor adventures in a safe environment. Tim & Razia are an integral part of the holiday. The success of their secret recipe is that they want you all to have a lovely holiday – and they go out of their way to help you achieve this – from doing the weekly shop before you arrive, to making sure the house is looking perfect for each persons stay, to taking the children off most mornings for fun-filled hours of cooking, art, bike rides, swings, egg collecting, pond dipping ……. and to being on hand to help give advice on local things to do or to organise somewhere for supper or to go riding. For us it is the Swallows and Amazons type of holiday that we want for them – where they are learning about themselves and having experiences in the best way possible! Activities are all based appropriately for the children’s ages.

A huge thank you all – a magical week for which we are very grateful. So good for the soul to have some space from hectic London and to be looked after by you. Thank you for making Marciac happen and spoiling Alfie & Daisy with endless football, baking and drawing. They and we have loved it.

We have just returned from Artagnan having had what can only be described as the perfect family holiday.
The setting is idyllic. The standard of the property is superb and enhanced by Tim & Razia’s eye for quality and detail, which is applied to everything in the house, including the toys (we suspect their children have a hand with these!)
We have 3 children and finding the right setting can be a challenge. Artagnan exceeds that challenge by far. The house is full of everything you would ever need to cater for young children – from sterilisers, high chairs, toys and bikes. Everything.
However, what set this trip apart was the hospitality of the Coleman family. Prior to our arrival, they were a source of great advice and whilst we were there they went to great lengths to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Arrival shopping, babysitting, culinary advice all included! And their 3 wonderful children were equally as welcoming and helpful.
A fantastic holiday.

We’ve been away for 3 years and wondered why we left it so long. This is a wonderful place, so tranquil and so full of joy. Our boys have had a fantastic week. We have all enjoyed Tim and Razia’s legendary welcome, hospitality and knowledge. From lazy hours in the pool to late afternoon cricket, to lovely fresh food this is the perfect spot. It is always a wrench to leave after settling in so easily to the relaxed pace of life. Thank you for everything. A bientot.

Thank you all for your tremendous effort you put in this week, we had heard so much about your magical place here and it surpassed our expectations.

Another amazing week at Artagnan. Thank you all so much. We all have loved every minute here and have created some very special memories.

Our fourth and a wonderful week. Our 3 boys have adored their time in the barn and flourished with such wonderful care. Again attention to detail is exceptional and created a family holiday for all. Thank you team Coleman.

Another fantastic week seeing our grandsons delighting in all that is on offer here and flourish. Thank you team Coleman – a great team. Legends as far as we and our grandsons are concerned. Judi and Steve (grandparents to Rory, Harry & Fraser)

Another wonderful holiday – it just gets better and better. Thank you so much to the whole Coleman family for another fabulous fortnight and we are very sad to be going home. The boys absolutely loved their time with you from the tractor rides, delicious baking, swings, painting, stories and so much more. Once again its been a funpacked holiday for the boys and a lovely break. We are already looking forward to next year

Unique – we have had a most wonderful time. Thank you

Our first visit here and to this part of France. Everything here met but also exceeded our expectations. The children loved their mornings with Tim and Razia and so did the parents! We hope to be back next year

Echo from Grandma! A most comfortable luxurious week with everything provided for us.
