Family at La Bomba
We were a party of nine adults and there was more than enough room for everyone.
It’s a fantastic and quirky old house that has not been over restored, it’s a little remote, there is nothing in Saint Paulet, so a drive to get delicious bread and pasties every morning.
Fantastic pool. We really enjoyed our stay, Sam was very helpful even though he was not anywhere near.

Wonderful week at La Bomba
A group of 8 friends had an amazing week here. Bedrooms are enormous with very comfy beds. Plenty of different seating areas to accommodate large groups inside and outside. We were lucky with the weather most days so our evenings were spent outside under the amazing stars. We have stayed in many holiday rental properties before but none of them were as well equipped for self catering as La Bomba. Every utensil that you could possibly need was there. To add to all this the swimming pool far exceeded our expectations and much fun was had in it. We enjoyed our trip to Castelnaudary on market day which was well worth a visit. Carcassonne and Revel were also lovely. The owner Sam couldn't have been more helpful.

Absolutely Delightful
What can I say? We had a brilliant time at La Bomba. It was the best experience we’ve had in 10 years of booking villas across Europe. From first enquiry to our last day, Sam was on hand to help out and advise on everything. It’s a big house suitable for two or three families. We were 2 families with 8 children and they weren’t bored for a minute. The swimming pool is bigger than normal for villas like this, there is a table tennis table, a boules set and even a basketball hoop. The kitchen is excellent for preparing big meals in. There’s a side kitchen off the main kitchen with an extra dishwasher (complete lifesaver) and second fridge. Bedrooms were clean and tidy and a good size too. Possibly our favourite thing was the walking near the house. We found a path that runs along a stream all the way to a lake and a great restaurant where we ate 4 times! I would definitely recommend this property if you’re looking a for a villa suitable for big families.

La Bomba review.
La Bomba is a beautiful property set in a very peaceful part of the French countryside. Our party was 7 adults and a Scottie dog ! and we all had a great time. Plenty of long walks to enjoy and the property has plenty of space to relax around the pool and outside areas.
Sam, the owner was really helpfull with lots of tips on places to visit and would defiantly recommend to friends.

Stunning property in glorious surroundings!
What can I say?! We had high expectations from the images on the website yet the property managed to surpass all of our wishes and desires! It easily catered for all three generations of our family from aged 25 - 80 and is clearly well cared for and maintained by the owners.
With good access to surrounding villages and towns, and with superb customer service from initial queries onwards we cannot recommend La Bomba highly enough.

A lovely house in a lovely part of France
We were an extended family with 3 little ones and the two wings of this spacious house worked very well for us. The pool which is lovely, great size, is very close to the house but at a different level so little ones could play safely outside on the terrace without the attraction of the water under their noses. We loved the rigole walk - shady for most of the day and ideal for getting little ones to sleep apart from the chance to see fish, butterflies, otters and hoopoe birds. Lots to see in the area from St Felix Lauragais to Castres, Revel and Albi only an hour and a quarter's drive away.

Beautiful house, ideal for groups
Just back from a lovely two weeks at La Bomba and would thoroughly recommend it.
The house is wonderfully spacious and tastefully done out. All the mod cons are there, but without the character of the place being taken away. Very well set up for larger groups (we were 14) with two dishwashers and two fridges, lots of crockery and cutlery and a wealth of high chairs and cots. Add to that a lovely big pool, beautiful outside dinning terrace and plenty of games for the kids to play and you have the ideal spot for a family holiday.
The owner was a pleasure to deal with and always very happy to help when we had any questions.
We loved our time there and would have no hesitation in recommending to others.

Beautiful house in lovely countryside
We (3 families - 6 adults, 9 children) stayed at La Bomba for 10 days over Easter and had the most fantastic time. The house is beautiful, a quintessential French farmhouse with a spacious and stylish, yet homely interior. We loved the space of the Grand Salon and our enormous bedrooms. The children were very happy finding secret corners of the house to play in! When the weather was good, it was glorious to sit outside on the patio or by the pool. The house is set in divine countryside. We walked both directions along the pretty canal at the bottom of the garden - one direction took us to a lake where we found ice creams / beer and the other direction was good for otter spotting (one seen). We visited the poignant Cathar memorial near St Felix Lauragais, then walked around the pretty town which is set on top of a hill which yielded amazing views across to the snow capped Pyrenees. One beautiful day was spent exploring the fairy tale fortified town Cacassonnes - much enjoyed by the children. All in all a wonderful and relaxing break! Would heartily recommend! Thank you Sam & Emma.

Lovely house, peaceful location
We had a lovely time at La Bomba - 3 couples with 4 children between us. The house is very spacious - there was more than enough room for all of us and to escape to be on your own if necessary. The house is well equipped, the table tennis table came in handy for the few unfortunate rainy days we had whist there. The grounds and pool are fabulous, well maintained and perfect for young children to explore.
One thing I did feel would make a good addition would be some sort of visitor book or additional info on the local areas/restaurants rather than just leaflets or a list. We ate at Chateau Pomerade which was fabulous and the nearest restaurant (about a 30 minute walk) was actually really good as well.
A really wonderful place and great value for money - would recommend to anyone looking for a 'get away from it all' holiday in a fantastic area of France

Conforme mais service nettoyage à revoir
La maison est dans son jus. En vieille pierre, sombre et fraiche comme le sont les maisons du Sud. Bien equipée et grande pièce à vivre très agreable pour reunir une famille nombreuse comme la nôtre. Piscine accessible et proche de la maison, bref tout ce qu'on aime.
En revanche, le ménage reste à discuter... toile d'araignée avec les insectes qui vont avec partout dans la maison, canapés avec mauvaises odeurs et tâchés, serviettes proposées tachées, pas de nettoyage de piscine dans la semaine (tous les 10 jours selon l'annonce) donc plein de feuilles.
Bref la maison est conforme à nos attentes, bien équipée mais le niveau de qualité de nettoyage ne correspondait pas au prix payé.
Merci pour ce séjour dans cette region.
