Matt and Caroline made arrangements for us to ride, snowshoe and ski. We had never skied before and had thought that we were too old to try. However we went and took a couple of lessons and we loved it.
(more)The peace and tranquillity were sublime. A lovely property with all the mod cons (even a coffee machine) however in wonderful rural surrounds. The garden of the property was a delight. The countryside of the Loire was beautiful, the village a short bike ride away. (more)The pre dinner drinks and craic (good conversation) and the dinners cooked by Debbie and Mark were always something to look forward especially when the legs were tiring and the backside a little sore! (more)Marks out of 10 - 10! Really enjoyed the set up of the cabin, very thoughtfully done with lots of information, loads of smashing little touches (loved the walkie talkies!) & fresh baked muffins as a welcome did it for me. The location was exquisite.
(more)Walking through the forest at night in snowshoes. Lots of other images of the mountains - in all sorts of different conditions...It was an energetic, relaxing, fun and friendly week. I had a very good time - even if I spent most of the time when I was on skis falling over... (more)We will always remember how gracious our hosts were, the wonderful food, and the fun loving spirit of all the crew. (more)My wife just loved the fact that the kids enjoyed it and thought that the hotel was marvellous. (more)
It is almost impossible to highlight any one part of this wonderful holiday. It was the sheer attention to detail, excellent itineraries and food, thoughtfulness towards clients and generosity of all involved in the organisation, to pass on their considerable knowledge about the area that made it all so perfect.

Excellent. Having 5 separate en suite bathrooms is so beneficial and comfortable. We felt very well looked after and consider that Anna went above and beyond the call of duty to give us as much support and information as possible. (more)
I think we chose well; the gite was just what we wanted, beautifully situated... The landscape was the real asset of the region, thickly wooded slopes, ravines and blue skies.
(more)I think the scenery on the Brittany coast was the most memorable part, and a wonderful meal we had on our last day, plus some great visits to local artisan producers. (more)
Our room was a good size, air con (we were there in August) and clean. The pool was just right too. Location is excellent - far better than being in one of the towns. Meals are eaten outside in the evenings and several (including us) suggested they modified the lighting. (more)
I particularly loved our mountain walk, with spectacular views and carpets of Pyrenean irises, and I think one of the highlights for all of us was swimming in a beautiful mountain lake. (more)We loved being surrounded by historic French villages; staying in a beautiful rustic (but VERY comfortable) 19th century stone cottage; the warmth and approachability of our hosts Nicole and Alex Crawford; and being spoilt for choice when arranging our daily activities. (more)Most memorable were the looks on the children's faces as they realised were staying in a log cabin! Also the sense of achievement, climbing the Eiffel Tower. (more)
The boys loved cayonning - jumping off of cayons into pools; I loved horse riding American style through the mountains - it was fantastic & Liz was a terrific guide. We also climbed up to some glacial lakes with Mel - which was an incredible experience. (more)The most memorable part was snow shoeing on a beautiful sunny Christmas Day and completing our first Via Ferrata.

Great base for a large family or 2 families in peaceful surroundings. Lovely cottage with excellent facilities. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
France is filled with diverse landscape, activities, lifestyles and culture, and arriving there by ferry gives you all the freedom to explore these aspects at your own pace. As the car touches onto French soil at Calais your list of options are endless; do you visit the coast or a city? Do you stay at a hotel or in a tent? Do you want to admire mountains or architecture? Or do you just want to see where the road takes you? Frances variety of activities and attractions has led to the founding of many companies that cater for different needs and desires; from family holidays, romantic breaks to last minute getaways.
