Kent, England · Dordogne, France
Children play.
Parents play too.
Family holiday cottages with a heated pool, a zip wire, tree houses, trampolines and acres of space to run, on a Kent farm and a Dordogne hillside.
Why stay with us
Children play. Parents have peace.
Child friendly
We make a point of it. Pretty well all the equipment needed for babies, toddlers, kids, tweenies and teenagers, from high chairs to hammocks.
Designed for all ages
Kids, parents and grandparents can enjoy time together and still have places to relax apart. A gazebo up the hill. A hammock under the walnut tree.
A safe place
Our cottages are a refuge in a busy world. Fenced pools, gated ponds, secure grounds. Relax, unwind, read a book, drink a glass of wine, snooze.
Our holiday cottages
Two countries. One idea.
Four acres of Dordogne meadow with a heated pool, or nine acres of Kent farmland 32 miles from London.

“What grabs you as you walk round is how quiet it is. You feel almost instantly relaxed.”
A Sol du Mazel guest
So much to do
Trampolines, zip wires, sand pits, tree houses, tennis, play forts.
There is so much to do at each of the properties that most families find they hardly leave the grounds. When you do, Kent and the Dordogne are among the loveliest corners of their countries, with villages, rivers, castles, markets and restaurants to explore.
