Sol du Mazel Child Friendly Holidays. Dordogne. DISCOUNTS available!

We had a fantastic week at Sol du Mazel which is located along a small road about 10 - 15 minutes walk west of St Pompom. This very pretty village has a boulangerie and small supermarket as well as a restaurant. You are also just a short drive away from Daglan and Domme The house has a fabulous pool which was a very comfortable temperature and is surrounded by wonderful lawns for football or badminton There is also a wendy house, castles and trampolines and table tennis to keep all ages occupied. The house is fabulously quiet - a real escape for city dwellers. We found some lovely bike rides that start and finish at the house including a nice route down into St Pompom, past eth supermarket then north west along the D60 and then turning back via Duriat Jean Paul. A large part of the D60 can be avoided by using the Chem to Tramway. For the keener cyclist there is a lovely route via Daglan to Castlenaud la Chapelle, Domme and then back round to St Pompom via Daglan. We would recommend Domme for trip as well as Les Jardins de Marqueyssac. We are a family with teenaged kids and we loved the house but it would also be the ideal house for two families to visit together. We were only there for a week but wished that we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful week with family at Sol du Mazel - great pool, very well equipped properties and excellent play facilities for children. Thank you!

We had a wonderful week relaxing in beautiful french countryside. The property has everything you could need for small children, including books, toys, sandpits and Wendyhouses!

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour dans la maison. Elle est parfaitement équipée, propre et très cosy. La piscine pour nous tout seuls a été un luxe! Et le jardin a ravi les petits mais aussi les grands qui ont pu lire et faire des siestes à l’ombre en haut du jardin dans l’abri! Nous garderons de très bon souvenir et recommandons cette maison au calme mais seulement à quelques kilomètres de tout ce que le Perigord Noir réserve de trésors.

We are just back from an Idyllic 2 week stay in Sol Du Mazel and we loved it. Beautiful, rural, peaceful - a real chance to relax. St Pompom is the most gorgeous little village. Hope Cottage is so well set up it is staggering - 'clean and well maintained' does not even half cover it . Everything you need and plenty more besides, our 2 young daughters said they felt like princesses on the first night and adored playing with all the toys and new stories. The outside space is AMAZING, so much fun to be had - they didn't know what to play with first. Hours and hours of outdoor fun for all the family. The pool another dimension again. We did not want to leave.... the beautiful views, the peace, the lavender hedge.... so much else, we would absolutely recommend and would love to return ourselves. Thank you so much

Rose Barn is every bit as good as everyone says. As we approached for the first time, our 9-year old said ‘what’s that park?’ And indeed, the grounds look like nothing so much as a grassy children’s park, scattered with climbing frames and slides, and with a beautiful large pool. It was the pool that proved the real highlight for our children (9 and 11): it’s clean, modern, very well maintained, and warmer than other outdoor pools we’ve used. And because we were sharing it with only one other family, we often had it entirely to ourselves. The barn itself was brilliant. It’s very spacious, with loads of room for relaxing and dining, and the best equipped kitchen I think I’ve ever encountered. For smaller children there are plenty of toys, books and other equipment such as high chairs and stair gates. The location is also perfect: easy walking distance to the pretty village of St Pompont (with baker, butcher, pharmacy and small supermarket) but separated enough to be completely quiet. The crickets take over at dusk - quite a sound! It’s a short drive to some of the Dordogne’s most famous sights. Our neighbouring family were delightful and we enjoyed sharing a barbecue together one night. In short, we thoroughly recommend Rose Barn for a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Stayed out of season (October 17) to use both cottages between extended family. This meant we could open the intervening door during the day to enjoy meals together and close it at night for more privacy. The property was immaculately presented and very comfortably furnished. I particularly liked being able use the log burning stove in evenings although a useful addition would be a bin for the ash. This is an ideal place for those seeking a quiet break but still within walking distance of a village with a butcher, restaurant and supermarket. The easiest way into the village is to follow the road but do try the old footpath for a better view. We no longer have small children so can't comment on that area other than there seemed to be plenty of activities available. I was impressed by the construction of two small play forts in the grounds complete with arrow slits and battlements. This holiday is ideal for seclusion hunters
