Jarvis and Barratt family - Sept 2018

Pradines is just our sort of place, nice and quiet and peaceful but close enough to all the local amenities. We do like the broadband and U.K. tv as well, a real home from home.

We were just two couples so we had a floor each and spread out. It would be great for families too.

We had glorious weather at the end of September and spent many an hour sat watching the grape pickers in the field opposite. We can also highly recommend a visit to the small shop attached to the winery in nearby Montseret. We sampled here and bought a few bottles as the tractors were arriving with this year’s harvest.

The pool was great and still warm enough for an afternoon swim. The walk up the track is well worth it for the extensive views all around.

We enjoyed driving around the wider region and spent a glorious day up at Millau and into the upper Tarn gorges. Narbonne is always worth a visit with free parking by the canal, inside the cathedral is spectacular and the indoor market is excellent. The coast has miles and miles and miles of lovely beaches.

All in all a lovely holiday. We would go back today if we could.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Pradines - we've returned with great memories of a wonderful place where we recharged and had great fun.

 I'm already missing my daily bike ride to the boulangerie - not quite hunter gatherer but  it was great bringing back fresh breakfast every day to a welcoming committee !

I’ve been meaning to write and say how much we enjoyed our stay at Pradines. We had a great time .....  Claudine asked if we had any suggestions for improvements but I honestly can’t think of anything.   The kids loved the table football and the basket ball etc but the surprising hit was the swing!  All their games centred around that swing.

La maison est très spacieuse, bien aménagée et très confortable pour 10 personnes. Le jardin avec la piscine, est également fort plaisant, le tout dans un bel environnement au milieu de la nature, avec le chant des oiseaux.

un très joli coin à découvrir.

The house is very spacious and well appointed and accommodates 10 people very comfortably.  The garden with the swimming pool is equally very pleasant. Both sit within a beautiful countryside environment surrounded by birdsong. A very beautiful area to discover . 

cordialement

Hi Claudine & Chris

Just back in work now after a wonderful week at Pradines. The house is lovely, one of the best we've ever stayed in!  Its so peaceful there and relaxing, which is what we were in great need of, thank you very much.

I am sure that you will get lots of repeat bookings and recommendations once people find out about it, we certainly will recommend it to friends.

Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

We had such a wonderful stay at Pradines this summer. Friends joined us with their 3 boys and as the children's ages ranged from 7 - 13 it was an ideal location for day trips, whether it be canoeing,boat trips,swimming in the river at pretty Le Grasse, or taking in some local history at a medieval Castle in Carcassonne. There really was something for everyone! Moreover, the local people were lovely, very friendly.

The house is delightful, very comfortable, including the beds which for me is often the thing I dread most about summer holidays. The pool is ideal, well maintained, with a variety of floats etc for the children to use.  

The house catered very well for 2 families, with the top floor an ideal hang-out for older children. 

Claudine and Chris were more than helpful in ensuring our stay was a happy one.They seemed genuinely excited about sharing the charm of Pradines with us, so much so, you are left with a very warm, familiar feeling akin to spending time at the holiday home of friends.

Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing stay at your beautiful house.

Claudine, 

Just a quick note to let you know that we had a fanatastic time and I have done a review on Owners Direct stating the same. What a great place to either sit and take in the stunning views, have a family gathering or party, use it as a base to see around you. We did all three!
Thanks,
JAK.

 Dear Chris and Claudine.

Would just like to say.  We have just come back from spending 2 weeks at Pradines.  We had a fantastic time.  In fact we wish we were still there.  It was just what we needed. 

The house is absolutely amazing, spacious, comfy and very nicely decorated. The children loved their bedroom  with all the games and gadgets. The kitchen is more than adequately equipped with everything you could possibly need.  

The pool is great, as is the outside space.  In a very peaceful and relaxing location, but still with the option of doing some of the many activities suggested in the very handy guidebook.  The nearest village has a very good local shop.  What we found a special treat was the Pizza van on Wednesdays, that served very yummy pizzas.

All in all.  We were so happy that we found such a nice place to spend our well deserved 2 week holiday.

Will definitely be recommending.

Thanks Gemma

Domaine de Pradines sits in a beautiful valley and is within close driving distance to a village with baker, grocer, wine shop and post office.

The house is presented to a high standard. The kitchen is large and well stocked. There are plenty of games for children, the television has UK channels and there is wi-fi.

The swimming pool, terrace and garden are private and very well maintained.  There is a beautiful view from the terrace.

All the best, Alex
