"We are just back from an idyllic two-week stay and we loved it. Beautiful, rural, peaceful — a real chance to relax. Rose Barn is so well set up it is staggering. The outside space is AMAZING. We did not want to leave." Guest — two-week stay, Sol du Mazel
What guests say
"We enjoyed a fantastic week with two families — three children aged 3 to 8. The grounds are huge with so much to entertain the kids, and the pool was a welcome relief on warmer days. Inside and outside, lots of space to relax. In the surrounding area, so many stunning villages and opportunities for wild swimming. We will certainly be back."
"Rose Barn gave us everything we needed for our family holiday, plus a 70th Birthday celebration. The property has absolutely everything you would need when travelling with a young family — all essentials for an 18-month toddler in excellent condition. And the play equipment outside is extraordinary."
"Le terrain est fabuleux avec sa piscine profitant du soleil du matin au soir, ses jeux pour les enfants... la sensation d'espace et de tranquillité est vraiment ressourçante. Nous avons même vu des biches se promener dans la partie un peu plus sauvage du terrain. Magique."
"Super séjour. Très jolie propriété au calme. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Katie et Andrew entre amis. Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir."
"We have just returned from our holiday with two young children — five years and eighteen months — and definitely plan to return. The property has absolutely everything. Stair gates, travel cot, high chairs, plastic crockery, great selection of toys indoors and outdoors. Not to mention dominoes, which has now become his favourite game."
"Everything you need and plenty more besides. Our two young daughters loved the bunk beds and adored playing with all the toys and new stories. The outside space is AMAZING — so much fun to be had. Hours and hours of outdoor fun for all the family. The pool — another dimension again. We did not want to leave."
"The communication with Andy and Katie before the holiday was excellent. A long wait for a holiday — the property did not disappoint after such anticipation. Beautiful views, the peace, two lovely terraces, so much else. We would absolutely recommend and would love to return ourselves."
"Nous avons passé 2 semaines de rêve. Le gîte est magnifique — grand espace ouvert au rez-de-chaussée avec vue sur le parc — et très bien équipé. Un petit sentier permet de marcher jusqu'au centre du village en 20 minutes pour acheter son pain et ses croissants du matin."
"Sol du Mazel is a paradise for play. In addition to the heated pool, there is a playground, trampoline, play-house and the unique play-fort. With exclusive use of the two combined gîtes, the pool and four acres of meadow, you hardly need to leave the grounds — though the Dordogne beyond the gate is magnificent."
