A Wonderful stay

Dawn and Rich Coventry, Great Britain
Review Submitted: May 9, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
At Mas San Julian in October 2007, we had a wonderful time. The setting of the apartments was very reassuring and relaxing for us as parents with 4 children. It has so far been the only holiday location where we happily let our 3 and 2 year olds play so freely on the lawns, knowing they were safe from traffic and hazards. We all enjoyed the pool and the apartment was very well arranged. It completely worked for us. The hospitality was wonderful. The only slight disappointment, which upon reflection didn't prove to be a bad thing was we didn't have a television for the evenings. on the whole - a brilliant holiday!
Owner's Response: Thanks for a great review Dawn and Rich. Televisions are available at no extra charge on request, this is advertised on our website. We do not include them as a matter of course as the absence of such has proved to be a positive point for many families.

We hope to be able to welcome you back to Mas San Julian again!

Best wishes,
David & Anna

Good stay at a nice place

Londoner London
Review Submitted: June 5, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
A good size apartment, could have housed two or more families. David and Anna were helpful but not imposing. Facilities in the Gite was good, everything was well thought out. It was stocked with a few essentials when we arrived, which was a relief. It has a good Barbeque and is safe for kids(our 15 month old had a very good time)
The pool was clean and everything was well maintained.

Thuir is a nice local town which has character and good amenities.

David thanks for the great directions.

Overall our stay was very nice I would recommend this place to people.

Holiday June 2007

Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
We drove to this fantastic holiday accomadation from Blackburn lancs, and although is was a longish journey split over two days[trip to euro disney] with three children we loved all of it.
The accomadation was imaculate and the owners were extremely helpful when asked about anything ie restaurants,local markets,beaches,trains to spain and directions.
The kids loved the swimming pool and the large grassed area where we played cricket, football, tennis and the rest.
Only one criticisum perhaps the owners could invest in a table tennis table and more outside sports stuff ie football goals.
The surrounding area is stunning with the coastal towns and beaches , the city of perpignan[which has everything,]and the mountains.
Recommend this property to anybody because activities,attractions and scenery are so diverse you could satisfy holiday needs for most people/family in my opinion.
Weather you drive fly or use the train it will be worth it.

Family Stay at Mas San Julian, Thuir, France

Barnes Family Barnes
Review Submitted: June 2, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
This is a superb holiday venue for a family with small children. The morning view (snow-capped mountains) is spectacular, there is an abundance of outside space for children to work off excess energy and the pool is actually warm. There is plenty to do in the local area to keep everyone happy including beaches, walking, crazy golf, coffee and croissant shops (critical for mums on holiday), dinosaur caves and walled, medieval towns. An outdoor jacuzzi and some swings or football goals would make this place perfect but then the price would go up! Signage on arrival could be improved.

Mas San Julian: perfect for families!

Ifan Carmarthen, Wales
Review Submitted: June 2, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We booked a week's holiday at Mas San Julian during Easter 2008. The location is excellent - superb views of Mont Canigou and the Pyrenees, and within easy reach of the coast and Spain. Anna and David were kind and excellent hosts.

Our lodge was first class - beautifully furnished and practical too. Clean and modern with all mod cons. We had 2 terraces, one with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Outside, the children were fully catered for, with the outdoor heated swimming pool and acres of open space. Our children had a fantastic time - and made friends not only with neighbouring families but also with the cats, dogs and horses! They even had the opportunity for some horse riding.

The area is superb for sightseeing and for adventure - walking, castles, vineyards, mountains, coast - the area has it all. Thuir, a small town just a few miles away is full of character and has all the amenities and services that you'd need.

This was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last!

Mas san Julian

Alistal Wiltshire
Review Submitted: May 28, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
Accomodation was perfect and we had a lovely time. Anna enjoyed her pony/horse ride and swimming. We enjoyed the views and the sights. We were at the bottom of a ski slope on one day and by the Med at 22C the next (all in April!). I think the property is ideal for families but not for very young children because of the stairs/two floors. One area that could be improved was the number of childrens toys/games in the Mas and maybe a trampoline/climbing frame/swings in the grounds (which are lovely).

Peaceful Getaway

Jobee Staffordshire
Review Submitted: May 27, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2007
Mas San Julian is set in the most stunning grounds, just a short drive away from many beautiful towns, beaches and the lively city of Perpignon.

The properties are clean and well maintained and you could not ask for better hosts.

Its remote location is beneficial to those requiring a quiet peaceful getaway or a relaxing haven after venturing out for those that do not mind travelling.

Good value for money.

Review Submitted: May 27, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
The apartments were spacious and immaculately kept. The grounds were safe for young children and the heated pool well maintained.
The owners were accessable but not intrusive so customer service was excellent.
All the facilities were as one would expect and we greatly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend Mas San Julian.

Great Week

L & A Essex, UK
Review Submitted: May 26, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Our daughter, who was nearly 3 at the time of our visit, enjoyed playing with the children staying in the other lodges. The grounds are very child friendly and big enough for older and younger children to share.

The region has many beautiful places to visit within a very short drive, we paticularly enjoyed our day at Castlenou only 20mins from the lodge. Thuir itself is lovely and very friendly.

Anna and David are the perfect hosts, managing to be around and accessable without being intrusive. They have done a superb job renovated the lodges to a very high standard.

All in all we had a great week and hope to return next year.

Lisa, Andrew and Charlotte
