Mark, Rachel, Alfie (6) & Daisy (5) – August 2017

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.

Clare, James, Oscar (10) and Ollie (6) – July 2017

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.

The Small family – June 2017

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

You have all created for the second year running a truly wonderful and treasured time. Perfect hospitality. The ultimate family retreat. We loved catching up with you again and appreciated all of your efforts throughout our stay. Alice and Freddie will be talking about their time with you for months to come! Thank you again

Many thanks for a wonderful week at Artagnan. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the holiday has been relaxing as is possible with 3 young children in tow! Freddie and Alex will miss their mornings with you and all the tractors and dinosaurs here. They are already campaigning to come back next year…

Our second visit and just perfect! Thank you for a wonderful fortnight – the boys have loved their mornings with you playing, baking, feeding the animals and will miss you greatly. We’ve had a fab time exploring the area and restaurants – we are returning fully rested and relaxed. We are already looking forward to a return visit ..

Chris, Heidi, Rory, Harry and Fraser – June 2016

Another fantastic week – as usual everything has been truly wonderful – the house perfectly equipped for three little boys who had the time of their lives and we have managed to have a real rest. Thank you so much to the whole Coleman family for your first class hospitality.

Tom, Gaby, Cosmo (2 1/2) & Wilf (8 months) June 2016

Thank you so much for another wonderful holiday – we have loved every minute and I’m not sure who is sadder to be going home – the children or us! From the baking which has been so kind & thoughtful to feeding the sheep, saying hello to the frogs and endless playing both on the swings and in your beautiful barn. We are so grateful to you all and and have had the most wonderful time. A huge thanks to the whole Coleman family and we hope to see you again next year x

Jules, Clare, Henry (6) and Steffi (4) May 2016

Thank you for another wonderful holiday. Henry and Steffi had an amazing week – baking cookies, making gratin dauphinoise, fishing for tadpoles and helping to clip the chickens’ wings. They loved every moment and are disappointed to be going home. Once again your hospitality, kindness and thoughtfulness have been second to none.
