“A truly relaxing family holiday enjoyed by all - for the 3rd time!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We have just returned from our 3rd visit to "Les Hiboux"and it was just as fantastic as in previous years (despite some poor weather!!). We were introduced to the properties by a friend for her 40th birthday where the party was mainly made up of adults, and it worked perfectly: the pool is great for lazing around and the games room provided entertainment in the form of table football, darts and pool in the evenings after a barbeque. We stayed on for a further week with our 2 boys (then 2 and 3years old) which was equally successful as the garden is an absolute haven for an old fashioned adventure - you can let your children out of eyeshot so that they are free to explore and "be kids", knowing that they are safe and with friends. There always seems to be a great crowd of children staying in the other gites, and they love playing together, mixing ages. The boys are now 5 and 6, and it continues to work brilliantly for us as a family holiday. This year, we had one week of glorious weather, followed by a few wet days. There was still enough to do with all the games and toys provided (including my youngest learning to ride a bike without stabilisers for the first time on one of the bikes provided- rain no barrier!) but we did feel the need to venture out. There are plenty of markets throughout the week, but the major attractions are all quite a drive away. Nevertheless, the whole family enjoyed Zoodyssey, and the aquarium at La Rochelle is great. Tim and Ellen have always achieved the perfect balance of being on hand with information or help with problems yet leaving you to enjoy your holiday in their beautifully maintained houses and garden. Don't worry about carting out lots of toys and books for your children - they have thought of all of that too! We'll be back again!!

“GREAT FAMILY HOLIDAY”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

people found this review helpful

Visited in July with family 4 adults 3 kids aged 3, 7 and 10 had a great time. We stayed in the very well equipped Les Hiboux Farmhouse for 2 weeks. Didn't even need to eat out ,we visited the French markets in the nearby villages and BBQ'd most evenings and when the weather wasn't so good cooked in the large farmhouse kitchen. Very relaxing for the adults as the kids were quite happy to play with their new friends in the fantastic garden and swimming pool. The gardens were very safe for small children to run around without being supervised , my sisters 3 year old enjoyed his freedom as did his mum. We visited Futuroscope in Poitiers which was well worth a visit for the older children. Hope to visit les Hiboux again in the future.

“ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS - 2 happy children = 2 relaxed, happy adults”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

people found this review helpful

We choose this for the excellent range of activities on site for our 3 and 5 year olds and were not disappointed. We also wanted to have the potential for 'playmates' with other gites on site and this too was a huge success, especially for our 5 year old son.
As for the adults - we chilled out completely doing some touring around, but mostly just enjoying the pool, the garden and the great environment provided. Tim and Ellen were fantastic hosts offering valuable advice and info.
We loved the bread/croissant van that called at the top of the drive during the week.
A great stay and we will definitely be back!

“Excellent holiday, couldn't fault it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2011

Tim and Ellen are the perfect hosts and have done everything you could wish for to ensure your stay is perfect. The accommodation is fantastic; spacious, clean and fully equiped. The grounds are beautiful and large enough that you can still find a quiet spot if you wish; although given the attractions of the trampoline, swimming pool, slides, bikes and pool table (not to mention the sheep and fish) it is unlikely that you will want to be alone. There is plenty to explore close by but to be honest we didn't venture that far!

“Absolutely idyllic holiday setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011

We have just returned from 9 days at Les Hiboux, and the most relaxing holiday we could ever have wished for, even with two 3 year olds! The properties have been beautifully and sensitively converted, bright, spacious and fresh and were equipped with everything we could need. But the gardens were the icing on the cake for the children, with acres of space to run freely, exploring the tree houses, pond, sheep and trampoline to name just a few! They even dipped into the pool in April! We really didn't want to leave and will definitely be returning. Thanks to Tim and Ellen for being such friendly and helpful hosts.
