We are grateful to you all for your care and attention for a restful week for us at Artagnan.
We all enjoyed the week a lot, we were able to relax and drift through the week; not having to do the big shop is a big bonus and the cooked meals were great.
You are all very kind and your helpful advice and guidance was appreciated. The girls enjoyed their time with Razia and Issy has been collecting flowers from our lavender plants to make some more shortbread!
Thank you again for all that you both did to make our week a lovely time in a lovely place.

Hi Tim – Artagnan seems a distant slice of paradise now we’ve been back at work!
Many thanks to Razia, yourself and the children for such a perfect break.

Another wonderful week at Artagnan exchanging laughing by the pool for reading in front of the log fire, due to unseasonable weather. Great fun still had by all. Particularly loved seeing the children run off happily every morning to “Holiday Club”. Thanks to all.

Thomas (6) thinks this is the best holiday ever and he wants to stay for 10 years! Amelie (4) loved “Razia’s Holiday Club” and all the activities, the hens the lambs and the frogs. We had a lovely relaxing time in a beautiful environment.

We are so grateful to you for looking after us so incredibly well while we stayed at Artagnan. Your house and its grounds are really beautiful, the baby/child equipment and toys were fantastic, and the food was delicious! You were wonderful hosts, and we’re so grateful for all the shopping, lifts, suggestions etc.

Our second visit didn’t think it was possible to be more fabulous than the first one. The house as usual spotless and ready stocked with shopping by Razia, delicious home cooked meals from the cook & Croissants from Tim Sunday morning! Tim & Razia as kind & thoughtful as ever & Louis Eva & George the most lovely children!

We have had a wonderful fortnight. Thanks for a relaxing holiday (no mean feat with a 26 and 8 month old children!).
Fabulous property with all the toys and equipment for children and adults that you could wish for. The attention to detail is excellent and the hospitality of Tim, Razia and their lovely children is outstanding.

Our second visit to the haven of peace and relaxation that is called “Artagnan”. It has been even better than first time around.
It was absolutely outstanding. Artagnan is a superb property and it, and the facilities far exceeded expectations. The level of service from the Coleman family is second to none – they cannot do enough for you and are lovely people, making our stay even better than we could have imagined.
Artagnan is the best family holiday destination I have ever stayed at. Fantastic in every regard. Anywhere else we stay in the future will have BIG shoes to fill! That’s if we ever stay anywhere else for the foreseeable future…

Ruari and Molly, Fiona and Mark Barbour-Smith (August 2012)

Our third visit and our expectations were high and entirely fulfilled. Yet again we had a wonderful time, perfect setting, great weather and the super slick support of the Coleman family all making this a truly excellent holiday.
There are no superlatives left for us to use to describe the perfect, relaxing holiday set up that can be found there. Team Coleman delivered their fabulous all round service once again ensuring both parents and children had the best time!

Thanks to all for making our holiday the oasis of calm and fun for children that it always is. It is the guaranteed holiday of my working year!
This is our third year at Artagnan. Tim and Razia and the rest of the family are the perfect hosts. The accommodation is fantastic and the facilities superb.

A truly fabulous week at Artagnan. Tim, Razia and the whole family really went above and beyond the call of duty to make our holiday perfect. From the attentiveness before we came, shopping champagne and croissants ready when we arrived and looking after us so well whilst we were there.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The family that own this property couldn’t do enough for us. They recommended day trips, recommended and booked restaurants for us, also booked activities such as a drawing lesson in the garden and a massage. The property was perfect for our family holiday.
It was great to go somewhere and not have to worry about it not being child friendly – there were child stair gates, good quality cots, safety catches on the kitchen cupboards, extra locks/gates that go through to the swimming pool area and pond. There were plenty of indoor toys (even for my Husband and I) and outdoor toys such as a sandpit, balls and bikes for all ages.
Our two boys (aged 20 months and 4 years old) loved their stay. They especially enjoyed playing on the slides and swings, swimming in their own pool (including the paddling pool and all the inflatables they had access to), they loved playing with the playdough and the many toys inside the living area (all which were very clean and in good condition), they also watched a few DVDs from the large DVD collection and enjoyed collecting fresh eggs from the chickens which we then cooked and enjoyed for breakfast. Thank you again for making our holiday very special.

This holiday was absolute bliss for all of us. With aged grandparents and tiny toddlers I was worried about how it all would ‘fit’ given the diverse range of needs and expectations. I needn’t have worried. The layout, facilities, food delivery options and very warm hospitality from the Colemans at Artagnan made it a perfect holiday.

Rhonda, Stephen, Fiona, James, Isabella and Sophie Day (June 2012)

Thank you all for your care and consideration in making our week bump free. We all enjoyed the time there and appreciated all that you had provided to make our week as comfortable as possible. You have worked hard to cover everyone’s needs and we appreciated the result.

Gary, Camilla, Isabel and twins Hugh and Xavi (June 2012)

We have all benefited from all the touches that make this such a superb family destination. Isabel riding her bike, the boys so confident to go off and play, thanks for the babysitting and you are all remarkable hosts.
I hope you have a really great season and you deserve all your success.

Everything you could possibly need to entertain those from 1 to 70 !
It is very clear that the owners have put a lot of thought into what a family with children will need when they are on holiday. Everything we wanted was there. Artagnan is a fantastic place for a holiday with children. It has to be experienced to be believed!

The Barbour-Smith family (August 2011)

Thank you all once again for a lovely holiday. It was great to come back and for all to be just as perfect as we remembered. Tim and Razia you looked after us so well. Can’t wait to come back in 2012.
Thank you all for another fabulous stay at Artagnan – all of us loved it. You really get it right !
