We have just returned from a week's stay at La Taillade. We were a group of three couples with four young children (aged 3 and below). Andrew was very responsive in the weeks before our stay to ensure that the cots, high chairs and stair gates we requested were all in place.
The house itself is fabulously well equipped. Lots of good quality kitchenware, a great BBQ, garden games and indoor games for the kids. The pool and hot tub area is really well done and very modern, which is where we spent a lot of time. The pool is deep enough but has no 'deep end' which worked very well for swimming with kids.
The house is also well set up for families - three large, well-appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom on the 1st floor (including a huge bath), which worked well for the parents. Then the top floor has 4 additional bedrooms which would be great for anyone but worked well for the children in our case. All rooms have AC which was really welcome on the hotter days and the bedding and towels provided were all very good quality and comfy.
The immediate area is very rural, which is clear from the listing and information that Andrew sent through. However, they have some great recommendations for things to do in the vicinity. We would suggest visiting some of the local vineyards that they mention in the welcome pack, walks through the sunflower fields were also gorgeous.
I could go on and on... we would happily return, a week is too short!
