About the home

Martel is a superb holiday destination, especially for families with lots of children. The house has a relaxing atmosphere, lots of space and interesting rooms.

There is much to see and do in the surrounding area for those who want to see and do things, or for those who want to relax, the 12 * 6 metre pool and large garden is just the place to switch off and recharge the batteries. There are good restaurants just a few minutes away.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Martel is a lovely rambling sort of a place. Lots of space and secluded bits for privacy, if privacy is what you want.
There is enough space for at least 18 people. Three families have been very comfortable and had a wonderful time.
The kitchen is the focal point downstairs. A four oven Aga with four hobs is ideal for catering for a large group.

Further details outdoors:
The garden is nearly 5 acres, so there is plenty room to do pretty much anything that you want. A mobile gas barbeque, several tables and lots of chairs make al fresco dining possible anywhere in the garden.

Further details

Catering can be provided for evening meals

Conditions

Martel is available for short breaks, except during the high season

t Martel

The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn-et-Garonne region

The Tarn-et-Garonne is a lovely part of France that remains very French. The locals are friendly and helpful. It is a very rural area, with fruit trees, vines, sun flowers and maize commonly grown.

Markets happen on most days in one or other of the local towns, where growers sell their produce. The main city is Toulouse, which, I am assured, is good for shopping. There is a marvelous food market, Victor Hugo, close to the centre.

The Montauban area

Montauban is 12 kms to the south of Martel. The centre of the small city has small streets and a fine square surrounded by terracotta brick buildings, cafes and bars.

There is an excellent market on Saturday mornings. Other local activities include canoeing on the Aveyron, golf and bicycles can be hired close by.

“The perfect place to relax with family and friends” We had a wonderful time at Martel. The chateau and surrounding area are absolutely stunning. Rupert and Mary have made it the ideal place to unwind with plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained; if we weren't swimming in the gorgeous pool we were playing table tennis or bouncing on the trampoline! We would go back in a flash. Our party comprised fourteen adults and three children (aged 8months, 20months and 2 and a half years).
