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 !

The MacEachan family (Summer 2011)

Another fantastic stay but a week just doesn’t seem long enough. Thank you so much for your hospitality and thanks to the kids for spending so much time entertaining our children. We really wouldn’t change anything. Wonderful.

The Prasher family (August 2011)

Our favourite holiday place in the world. So glad we came back and already planning our next visit. The house, setting and facilities are only bettered by the unbeatable Coleman hospitality.

Siobhan, Gavin, Milo and Zac (June 2011)

Another very special stay at Artagnan. There is nowhere else like this! Stunning Gers countryside, amazing choice of local activities, great local produce, a beautiful house but what makes it unique is the Coleman family and their wonderful children.

Don, Linda and Sam Howell (June 2011)

Thank you so much for all your kindness. We had a lovely time and Sam loved all the toys, tractors and pool. You have created a special place and worked hard to keep it so lovely. It wouldnÕt be such a wonderful place though if it werenÕt for the wonderful family who are lucky enough to call Artagnan home.

Catriona and daughter Sarah (June 2011)

My 5th Stay and 3rd for Sarah. Keeps getting better. Sarah asked this morning what the birds were saying. I told her they were a little sad she was leaving and that they hope she comes back again next year. She said of course she will again and again even when she is an adult! Thanks for all the TLC and kindness.

Gemma and Sean Lamont with boys Aaran and Euan (May 2011)

Another fantastic holiday at Artagnan. The kids have adored the garden and the pool and we will all be very sad to leave.
Tim and Razia you know just how to make a holiday feel like a holiday with two small children. You really do think of every detail and it is appreciated.

Mirchandani-Whiteside family

The level of information from the house owner was astonishingly good and very, very helpful, and this level of service was superlative and input carried on throughout the holiday. It was like having a gifted concierge service – bookings at restaurants were made for us, massages arranged, horse riding arranged, lots of information about events in local towns was provided, odd grocery items were bought for us and we had produce from their garden. This was a truly exceptional holiday experience. The Coleman family was so welcoming and the whole family was such delightful and charming company that we have immediately booked to go again.

Lamont family

It was utterly fantastic. The house itself was beautiful, roomy and had everything in it you could possibly want. The outside areas, play ground and pool were perfect for us and our sons. And we cannot speak highly enough about the Colemans. Just wonderful people, so friendly, accommodating and fun. Their children were terrific and attentive to our sons above and beyond the call of duty. We have never felt so welcome in a place nor had such a fantastic stay before. We will most definitely be returning as our holiday was the best we have ever had and the level of customer service was amazing!

Clare, James and Oscar Barclay

This is a piece of heaven and we have loved every minute. Oscar has had the time of his life and does not want to leave. Your kindness and generosity are among the amazing memories we take away with us.

Just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had staying in this wonderful house. It exceeded all our expectations and everything has been catered for down to the finest details. If Carlsberg did holiday homes, this would be it!
The making of the week was the welcome of the entire Coleman family allowing the grown ups to have more relaxing than we could ever have imagined.

Isabelle, Jan, Ronan and Charlotte de Laat-Leuenberger

What a fantastic holiday! The best and by far the most relaxing one since the birth of our son. The house and surroundings are very well equipped and very safe. It is also extremely clean, convenient and of very good quality (I already miss the White Company towels). Our son was thrilled by all the toys around and loved playing with George, Eva and Louis. The heated swimming pool is also fantastic and very much appreciated having a 10 month old daughter. Razia, Tim, Louis, Eva and George made us feel like friends of the family. They spared no efforts to make our stay enjoyable.
Razia kindly babysat our children twice while we were there and we felt extremely confident about it as she definitely has a special sense with children. We cannot recommend the place highly enough. Thank you again to the Coleman’s family for its kindness and generosity.

Giles, Amelia, Matthew and Josh Heeger:

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for a great holiday. Your level of commitment to ensuring we had a great holiday, attention to small details and effort you put into making our holiday a success was exceptional and was greatly appreciated by us. The service and attention to detail by the owners was exceptional and probably the best I have every seen.

Tim and Razia have realised everybody’s dream of being “Lost in France”, Artagnan has a unique ambience of comfort and relaxation – this was a wonderful experience thank you again to your delightful family. We had a super time in your beautiful house – you provided absolutely everything we needed which made our family holiday very special indeed.
Thank you for your generous hospitality.

Olivia, Michael, Sebastian and Christian Veal & Jim, Clare and Conor O’Leary

Firstly an enormous thank you again for your kind hospitality and for all your help and advice before and during our stay.
It was a very memorable stay which we all enjoyed tremendously and we really really appreciated all of your assistance that definitely went that extra mile and far surpassed our expectations.
It was lovely to meet your family and your very well mannered children! So our little gift was only a small token of our sincere appreciation of all your help so thank you again.

Adrian, Tessa, Ralph and baby Hugh Suggett

At last – a place that’s perfect for our toddler and baby, and great for the grownups too! There’s nothing that you haven’t thought of!
Thank you for a marvellous holiday home, and for all your thoughtfulness and attention to detail which was much appreciated.
We are still raving about our wonderful week with you and are busily recommending you to all our friends. We can’t thank you enough for making us so welcome and for such a glorious week in your beautiful Artagnan. I’d be back like a shot. The house is just marvellous. We have treasured memories of our time with you, and can’t thank you enough!

Katy, Jason, Tilly, Tallulah and Oscar Wheatley:

Thank you for the most relaxing family family holiday ever in the history of ever. Your hospitality has been second to none and it has been a dream holiday.
The house you will be pleased to know, was as fabulous as I had dared to dream. The children didn’t want to leave. We agreed that it was the first family holiday that we have ever had where we all enjoyed it equally as a family.
Our host and hostess, Tim and Razia, were grace personified and couldn’t do too much for us.
We were spoiled and pampered, pampered and spoiled and I cannot recommend it highly enough if you have children or if you don’t.
The house was beautiful and fantastically furnished. It was blissful.
