Great week. The children really had all they could have wanted and more, so much stuff on site, pool, trampoline, boules, table tennis, pool, bikes. The children played and played and made some lovely friends, we read our books and relaxed totally. The location for us was perfect, so tranquil and rural. We had a couple of excursions which were nice. We did not see the owners after the first day, they left us to it, but could have contacted them at any time, we simply didn't need to. We would all love to go back.

Les Hiboux was perfect for our reunion with 9 families (including 18 kids under 9 years of age) from all over the world. The owners made us all feel welcome and provided everything we could imagine....trampoline, soccer field, swings, swimming pool, boule, ping pong, many many bikes, sheep to feed, fish to feed, grills and simply an amazing atmosphere. Each house is independent (with kitchen, wash machine, etc) and because they are side by side, it's also practical to have large groups eat meals together, hang out together, etc.. The kids were free to roam and enjoyed their independence. Around the bend are many working farms, some of which give tours, sell eggs, honey, etc.....all of which makes the experience of staying at Les Hiboux one to remember.

I stayed in La Grange, a beautifully renovated barn house, with my family (all 9 of us) for a week in June. The extensive and well kept gardens are great for the kids, with lots for them to do without even having to go anywhere. Very quiet and relaxing area giving you a real look at laid back rural life in France.
Thanks to Ellen & Tim for a great and memorable stay. You both really went above and beyond our expectations, a great service and a great holiday, thanks again.

We've just spent a wonderful week at Les Hiboux - a group of 8 adults and 8 children aged 4 or under. Beautifully equipped and well-supplied gites meant that half the toys and games we bought with us weren't even necessary, a real bonus when you're used to taking half your house on holiday with you to keep the kids entertained.

A large, safe garden meant that breakfast was invariably eaten outside while the kids rushed off to play on the swings or trampoline or feed the sheep. The pool was a lovely suntrap, and quite large enough for all of us to enjoy at the same time.

Tim and Ellen are brilliant hosts - unobtrusive but always on hand with a bit of local knowledge (river swimming, weather forecasts etc) should you need it. All of us would heartily recommend staying at Les Hiboux, as we expect to again in the next year or two.
