Nice but not perfect
Reviewed By 619thibaudvThe place is nice, it is close to nice beaches and walks. The staff is nice. We staid there for 8 days, having fun in Bonifacio, Piantarella beach and windsurfing. We had two problems : no wifi in the room and the air conditioner was no working well. The Studio has a nice price-quality ratio, but the price of the room was less justified. Unfortunately, the swimming pool of the villa was closed, even for poeple who took a room in the villa, except if the villa is fully booked by the same groupe/familly.

Too bad, it could be good.
Reviewed By carolel135Alarm beeping all night, passive aggressive elderly lady at the desk, two forks for three, I had to make the beds and was told that it was to save on the costs with the cleaners when wondered about it, teen caps yelling all evening a meter from our « peaceful quiet lodging », the place has a potential but unfortunately the experience was ghastly. The only peaceful place could possibly be the floating house’s far from the riding spot. Very unpleasant experience.

The gites are lovely, the setting is idyllic - peaceful and within easy reach of interesting places to visit. The facilities are excellent and all within a short stroll. Richard, Olivia and the team make you very welcome and if you want a quiet break for 2 or an extended family holiday for all ages it’s perfect

It is a XIXth century house in the French country side, totally renovated,modernised,with a lovely garden and pool, near Perpignan, the mountains and a two hours drive from Barcelona.
Overnight on trip to Little Yellow Train
Reviewed By DavidandPaulaSuperb old style Chataeu. Lovely room with super bed. Public rooms and gardens lovely. Main regrets Forgot our swimsuits and early leaving to catch train meant missing breakfast. WiFi was good and town had many ATMs within short walk. Needed as you need to pay with old fashioned money.
5. Pagel
Overall Ratings
5 based on 151 reviews
Through Pagel, and its other location, Mas Sarrat, we aim to provide unique baby, toddler and child friendly holiday locations focussed on families and booked only to families with young children. Our ethos is to provide small familial safe places which allow your children to run free and play amongst nature, making friends and exploring their own imaginations, moving from one play zone to another, from play barn to pirate ship to the Indian village, and on. To create a magical place that allows families to spend time together, create memories that last a lifetime and to have fun and laughter!Children have all the toys, play equipment and imaginative play areas but there are also treats for Mummy and Daddy too. We offer a ‘Chef for the Night’ service, a weekly BBQ, massages, manicures and pedicures, mid stay cleans, welcome baskets, wine, adult seating areas, shaded areas with sofas near the pool, English speaking baby sitters and locally sourced homemade frozen meals.
Pagel is a unique holiday for parents with small children
Reviewed By plg101“I’m a parrot and you are a pirate! Let’s get to the ship and make them walk the plank...” echoes across the field. Many chuckles and laughs as a gang of giddy 5,6, and 7 year olds run towards the 30ft pirate ship (I kid you not) As returners (albeit with a 4 year gap) we knew what to expect from Pagel. Travel light. No buggies or the normal extras needed when making what feels like an expedition rather than a holiday with small children. Be under no misconceptions; Pagel is not a few gites with a kids club; it is more of an institution with 60%+ returning guests. Why do we like it? The kids club is ideal, at least from 3+, and the older children (7/8/9) enjoy helping as well as playing. A few hours of peace and the teachers have lots of ideas for all ages. My 3 & 7 year olds were never bored. The pool is very clean, salt rather than chlorine, which is ideal when the kids are swimming up to 3 times a day. In the high heat it is perfect to cool off, but not too cold for the smaller children (and the little pool is also even warmer… though the little ones are often want to join in the fun in the big pool) On-site is an honesty bar with drinks, ice creams, a well stocked cupboard of staples and a range of ready made meals (both home made which were really good (I’m a fussy and demanding cook and went back for more) and easy kids-pleasers like pizza) so you are never stuck for a meal. The daily bread/croissant delivery is worth considering. What makes it special is the combination. Older kids can run free making lasting friendships on the pirate ship, trampoline or in the pool… or just playing in the shade. Younger kids play in the sandpit while adults can watch from nearby (maybe even with a nice glass of local wine). As it is aimed at British families there are no language barriers (not that kids care when playing) The weather is generally very good given how far south it is. September can cool a little but that can be equally pleasant. Bored of cooking? Have dinner at one of the restaurants or their «chef for a night». Fancy an escape? The markets at Bergerac are excellent. Cahors offers a day of exploring. Catus is a lovely village for supplies. Cazals has a nice market and an outstanding boulangerie/patisserie. The local castles offer a good distraction for all ages and some good dining options. There are many attractions we still haven't done. Need some beach? Catus has a small beach next to a lake which is very clean (and also has a playground) Is it a holiday for grown ups? No, not entirely.... BUT it is though possibly the best compromise for parents with children up to 10 (ish) with the least luggage, least queuing and the most peace and quiet with access to great French countryside and food… and if you don’t really have to leave and drive anywhere if you don’t want to! And as the sun comes down, Pagel makes for very happy, very tired children and adults who are significantly more relaxed than at the start of the week.

Fabulous holiday
Reviewed By dylank376This was our third stay at La Lohuas and it was wonderful to be back. It's a beautiful peaceful setting, lovely gite and my daughters (4 and 8) loved being able to play, feed the chickens and swim every day. We love Dinan and the local area too - we cycle a lot as a family - and the host Caroline is always happy to help with recommendations, directions etc.

Painting
Reviewed By n0rahjanetMy second time on a painting holiday Manzac des Bas with Louise and Giles. The whole ambience of the gites, the location, the delicious food, wine. The daily trips out to paint in stunning locations then Giles arrives with an amazing picnic incredibly civilised and perfect. My big birthday with the group we were served champagne lunch and a magnificent day of food, wine, fun and laughter I could not have asked for more and never expected such celebrations. Thank you both I will return and recommend you to all my friends. Xx Norah Stocker

Most memorable family trip
Reviewed By W4731ONanniekThere's no Country Kids without Sylvain & Laure and their hand-picked team and so it would be too impersonal to refer to this wonderful place as a "hotel". Even before we arrived, they were attentive and helpful over email. Once we pulled up to the secluded property on Saturday, Sylvain immediately greeted us at the door with the kind of warm enthusiasm that makes any child (and any parent) happy to arrive. We literally had everything ready for us (food, bed, toys, towels for the heated pool!) and our daughter was enchanted by the setting. During our stay, there was nothing that was too much to ask for, and no detail that was missed. Although you can self-cater, we opted to let ourselves be spoiled by cooked meals every day - and it truly was a culinary delight for us foodies. Laure made sure our time was well spent including on our evenings out, with reassurance that our daughter was well looked-after by Laure and the babysitter. We really look forward to coming back!

Fantastic, relaxing and fun family get away.
Reviewed By bellscap19Ian and Sandra are the perfect hosts with great local knowledge, they are very willing to recommend brilliant days out and places to eat. The gite was immaculate on arrival and full of all the home comforts you could possibly need for your stay. My children spent hours enjoying the pool and the local area is beautiful with lots to see and do. Already booked to return next year, Thank you for a wonderful break.
