Highly recommended

BGJSB West Sussex
Review Submitted: August 28, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Maison Bleu is in a beautiful location with stunning views along and over the valley. It is very quiet and has extensive outdoor space (lawns and orchards). The house is extremely spacious, comfortable, homely, well maintained and immaculately clean. All the rooms are of a good size and thoughtfully furnished with comfy beds and lots of cupboard and wardrobe space. The (4) central rooms are large and means the house can easily accomodate the maximum number of people without you feeling on top of each other.This was also the best equipped house we've ever stayed in (by a mile), with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, lots of board games, books and DVDs, as well as garden games, bikes and swimming pool kit. There was more than enough to keep the children occupied in and outside the house with the big, safe and beautifully maintained swimming pool a particular positive.
The area immediately around the house is excellent for scenic walks and bicycling and there are a number of extremely pretty market towns and villages nearby. There are various more specific attractions further afield.
The (English) owners live next door which we found a real bonus. They were extremely kind, friendly, thoughtful and unobtrusive and provided any help we needed.
I cannot fault any aspect of the setting, house or garden and would have no hesitation in recommending a visit to Maison Bleu if you are considering a holiday in this area. We were there for 3 weeks and were very sad to leave as we felt so very much at home!

A home from home with many extras

Review Submitted: September 14, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have no hesitation in recommending this property for holiday.

The house was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped (bed linen and towels beautifully laundered).

The grounds, pool area, garden games and bikes provided activities for our whole party (parents with teenagers and grandparents).

The owners made us feel very welcome and were friendly, helpful,and obliging but in no way intrusive.

We had a great holiday in a relaxing environment.

'Magnifique'.

Best House our family has stayed in

James33 Clonakilty, West Cork Ireland
Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have been going to this part of the FR for 10 years and since we have 4 children (10, 7, 4.4 and 1.5) and have one main 3 week holiday a year we do a lot of research before we pay our deposit. This is the best property we have stayed in and we have had the best holiday ever.

The house is pretty, with cool rooms at night so everyone slept well. There is pleny of space in the house and upstairs there is internet access, sky, dvd and video for when it rains. The kitchen had everything we needed and was easy to keep clean (loved the fresh linen).

Outside was equally excellent. The pool was secure, clean, warm, deep and inviting and David (the owner always put the cover on at night so we kept the warmth in).

The grounds were great for the children to run about and the new swings that have just been put in were an focus for all the children when they were not in the pool.

My only reservation before we took this property let was having the owners on site (we've been there before and it doesn't always work). With this property it was actually a bonus as we never saw them at all unless we seeked them out to ask them a question such as "my daughters have blocked the loo by using a baby wipes and not the toilet paper" (David fixed this no problem and we didnt get charged).

For my family of 6, for the money we paid I can only rate this property as excellent and as a result would be prepared to act as a reference for it.
