Who says you have to give up boutique holidays when you have kids? Well not here! Le Sarrail is a cluster of four newly converted luxury houses that wouldn't look amiss on the pages of Wallpaper* and Elle Decoration in a setting that could inspire the most reluctant of artists. It’s the realisation of a dream for, Becky and Philip, the style-savvy parents who renovated them, but also the answer to the prayers of many families just like them.
Along with the mid-century classic furniture pieces, beautiful polished concrete surfaces, luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets, WIFI and IPod docks, come a long list of nursery gear, a host of toys, and funky little log-cabin playhouse, not forgetting the stunning views from the heated outdoor pool, the elegant lines and chic loungers of which are very often accessorised with a collection of kiddie inflatables.
Guest comments such as ''You have created such a perfect haven for children and grown ups alike that I'm not sure I want to tell anyone else about it - see you next year! (guests with 2 kids under 6yrs) mean that the summer months can often be booked up a year in advance. This is not only because the kids are so happy here but also partly due to the 'hotel style' services that are offered, the extra services list is endless, practically anything can be arranged; on-site wine-tasting, massage, flights over the Pyrenées even a visiting photographer to capture your families happy, tanned holiday moments!

Having stayed at various "baby friendly" places in the past, Le Serrail tops them all. The really have found the authentic balance between practical and stylish without it feeling imposing or pretentious. A true masterpiece of a holiday. A short 15 minute drive to the house made for happy family and then the house and grounds are perfect. Even more little details than what was publicised - we really didn't need to bring any extra kids stuff. The little playhouses are beautiful and the play barn ideal. I even read two books! We will definitely be back and be recommending to friends!Review dated 27/06/2016
Great week. Friendly environment in a good location that ella loved.Review dated 19/07/2015
Beautiful place, highly recommended.Review dated 20/10/2010
We just wanted to say thank you for giving us the most incredibly calm, relaxing holiday we could ever wish to have had with two small children in tow! We can't express just how much we enjoyed and appreciated every aspect of your beautiful home. On paper it would seem impossible to create a place where adults and children could be equally happy and relaxed, in our experience it has usually been one or the other. It was such a treat for us to be in beautiful 'grown up' surroundings, wonderful furniture, uninterrupted views, and most importantly peace, while the children could enjoy that all important feeling of freedom to explore the little houses, the barn and the pool. What you have created really is totally unique, what clever people you are!!Review dated 07/07/2014
We have found a little piece of heaven and we shall return. Many thanks to Becky, Phil & their lovely girls for their hospitality, warmth and friendliness, they have made our trip even more special. Until our next visit...Review dated 03/11/2009
We were privileged to have been the first families to fill Le Sarrail - fabulous houses in a fabulous setting - we hope everyone that follows us will have as much fun, enjoyment and laughter that we have had.Review dated 03/11/2009
"...heres a place with genuine class... an oasis of retro-chic style....the luxuries are all modern crisp Egyptian-cotton sheets, iPod docks, gas barbecues and all. Theres a good shared pool, a huge open barn for entertaining and a log cabin for the kids to play in, all with a view over vineyards to the Pyrenees. Its where were heading this summer." The Sunday Times, Jan 2009Review dated 03/11/2009
La Sarrail was perfect. It had everything we wanted, but not too much that we felt we were paying for things we didn't need. Would highly recommend it and definitely returnReview dated 03/11/2009
Arriving at Le Sarrail is the nearest I have come to the feeling of staying in a boutique hotel since I had children and stopped hotel holidays! The house is immaculately designed and decorated, the views beautiful, the children's facilities plentiful and excellent. It's a great location for exploring Languedoc-Roussillon with lots of lovely toewns and villages nearby to explore. What makes this a really special place is the lovely familly who own Le Sarrail who have created a wonderful atmosphere and make you feel so welcome. I thoroughly recommend it - we will definitely be going back!Review dated 03/11/2009
We had a fantastic, relaxed holiday here. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive and the facilities were high quality and well thought through. Good kitchen equipment, comfortable beds, plenty of fluffy towels and great kiddy play equipment. Its a great area to explore also. Highly recommended.Review dated 03/11/2009
We had a fantastic holiday at Maison Figue. Our little boy was occupied 24-7 and worn out by the evenings! We were made to feel very welcome and provided with lots of information about the local area and sites to see. A huge thank you to Becky and PhilReview dated 03/11/2009
