Fantastic holiday home in a beautiful part of France
We have just returned from a wonderful 2 week holiday at La Tourelle. This beautiful old house was lovely and spacious and very well equipped for our large party. The beds were comfy and the kitchen worked well for our large group. The children enjoyed exploring the woods and playing in the games room, we all enjoyed the pool and we spent most evenings enjoying a glass of wine under the tree (although the now TV box was a godsend at times!). The village was a short walk and had a small supermarket, bakery and a bar which served lovely ice creams. There is plenty to do if you wish to. We spent several days at the nearby lac la Raviege where we hired pedalos and leisure boats (there is also a snack bar and pizza restaurant), we took a scenic drive to the coast one day which was worth the drive and we also visited the amazing Sidobre rocks. We had a fabulous holiday in this lovely house in a beautiful part of France - we would love to return!

Fantastic week for a family holiday with everything we wanted and more
The property had everything we needed for a holiday for family of 13. Rooms were well laid out and gave us ample scope for being together of separate groups. Had a problem with the pool that was responded to promptly and caused little inconvenience. Large wooded are for kids to make camp in as well as pool made it ideal for wide age range. Local village in comfortable walking distance provided bakery, bar and small supermarket. We were lucky enough to catch the last 2 days of the village fete which was fantastic. All we had to bring was pool towels. Had a meal for 13 at Parc Résidentiel du Roussinas ( first turning on right towards village) at unbelievable price.

Fantastic holiday here in 2017
We stayed here for a relaxing holiday with our extended family (three sisters, husbands, and children) in August 2017 and it was fabulous. The accommodation was spacious, well equipped, well maintained, and very clean. The pool was great and a real suntrap (although you have to mindful of splinters from the decking in places). The table tennis was a particularly big hit with the more competitive members of our family. We've stayed as a large group in many villas in France over the past 10 years, and we all agreed that this was one of the best. We enjoyed being able to walk into the village of Angles for croissants and other daily essentials, as well as an expresso at the café (many of the previous villas we've stayed in have been very isolated). We also liked the slightly cooler evenings due to the elevation of Angles - we all slept really well! All in all, a great week and we hope to return again.

Véritable "maison de famille"
Nous avons séjourné une semaine à la Tourelle avec nos enfants et petits-enfants. Il y a 8 chambres décorées avec goût, ce qui fait que tout le monde a son intimité et 4 salles de bains très jolies également. La cuisine est fonctionnelle et comme il a fait très beau, nous avons toujours mangé dehors à l'ombre d'un grand arbre. Une grande piscine bien abritée du vent. Et une petite forêt où les enfants ont pu faire des cabanes ainsi qu'une grande pièce qui leur servait de salle de jeux. Bref, nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans cette maison. Tom, le propriétaire est très gentil et accueillant. Il n'a pas hésité à rentrer d'Angleterre pour résoudre un problème électrique. A 20 min, il y a une baignade aménagée et surveillée sur le lac de la Raviège. Sinon il faut savoir que dans ce coin du Tarn, les routes sont très sinueuses. Si il y avait un seul petit bémol, ce serait pour le peu de place de parking. Vu la taille de la location, on arrive avec 3, 4 voitures et il n'y a pas d'autre solution que de les garer devant la maison. Mais c'est mineur au vu de tous les attraits de la maison.

Super maison
C'est une magnifique maison, avec 8 grandes chambres, toutes sympas et bien aménagées. Il y a beaucoup de jeux pour les enfants et les adultes, la piscine est très agréable et sécurisée. Le propriétaire est très réactif en cas de besoin. La localisation est à 800 m d'altitude, donc il fait plus frais qu'en bas. Plusieurs ballades à faire à pied depuis la maison. A refaire sans hésiter.

Tres bien mais...
Dans l'ensemble, la propriété est chouette, le jardin, les chambres, la cuisine super, la piece de jeu des enfants... Vraiment tres bien. Après, le 15 aout, la piscine reste trop froide pour vraiment en profiter, la literie de certaine chambre n'est pas dingue et dernier bémol, la moitié des invités n'aura pas d'eau chaude pour la douche. Mais mis a part ces details, qui malgré tout compte, c'etait tres bien.

Dejlig feriebolig til en stor familie
Vi havde lejet la Tourelle i to uger i juli 2019 for her at fejre vores guldbryllup sammen med vores nærmeste familie (tre generationer - i alt 13 personer). Det store hus var velegnet til formålet. Tom White sørgede for, at skaffe en meget dygtig kok, der lavede en fantastisk middag til festen. Vi nød den under det store træ på gårdspladsen. Tom var meget hjælpsom. Selv om han opholdt sig i England en stor del af tiden, mens vi boede på La Tourelle, forhindrede det ham ikke i at ringe til kommunen for at få løst et praktisk problem, der opstod undervejs. Det var dejligt, at der var god plads til alle. Der var fine bade- og toiletfaciliteter. Blandt de mange udendørs faciliteter var især swimming-poolen, trampolinen og bordtennisbordet et hit blandt de yngre medlemmer af familien. Det eneste væsentlige minus var et lidt dårligt indeklima i det store stenhus. Men det betød ikke så meget, da vi opholdt os udendørs næsten hele tiden. Vi kan absolut anbefale La Tourelle som feriebolig for en stor familie. Birthe og Klaus Brorholt

Quiet and authentic week in the french countryside!
This fantastic and authentic big french countryside house has everything you need if your are looking for a great stay in France. We were four families spending a week together in this house and we all felt that we had enough space both for privacy and to be together as much as we wanted. The rooms were big and well equiped, with a rustic touch to it. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. The kids loved playing around in the garden and in the pool. The host was very welcoming and helpful. The small village is just five minutes walk away to stroll around, and to buy your basics from la boulangerie and the local store. We could easily have spent one more week at la Tourelle!

accueil très agréable
La Tourelle est une maison très agréable qui a été rénovée en conservant le charme de l'ancien. Elle est très bien équipée et sa superficie permet à chacun d'avoir son petit espace. Les propriétaires bien qu'habitant juste à côté sont d'une extrême discrétion et très sympathiques. Seul petite bémol la piscine un peu vieille autour de laquelle nous nous sommes mis plusieurs échardes à cause de l'usure du bois et qui était assez fraiche.
