Truly the most magical, authentic, memorable, relaxing break you’ll experience staying with Sarah and Stuart & family at The Maison Famille! The accommodation, grounds and location is second to none. Beautifully presented and thought out, and Sarah’s cooking is such a treat, you’ll feel so spoilt and welcome, as my girls and I did this Summer (we’re planning on going every year from here on, it’s that special).
I hear it’s also rather amazing for the skiing season too

This was a completely laid back experience and had I known I would have booked for a few days. Sara and Stewart were wonderful. They are kind and talked with me during our stay but that was initiated by me. They are happy to allow as much private time as you need. The area is beautiful and there are some nice things to do. My daughter and I were winding down from a 5 week stay in Spain and France so it was great to allow my girl to swim in the pool and play with their little boy. We slept through the night and as promised all we heard were church bells and some night creatures! Do yourself a favor and stop in for a few days! They even have a wolf sanctuary nearby that I would have loved to have gone to see had we had the time! Thank you both! Mary Vann – USA

A big thank you to the Family Evans!
What a welcome – a charming and comfortable suite, star chef quality evening meals, a safe place for the car and good WIFI. Our hosts were generous with their hospitality. Even the weather was warm and sunny for exploring the local area. Dinah and David Austin, Cannes

We had the most amazing and wonderful week at La Maison Famille. Stuart, Sarah and little Callum were warm and delightful hosts to 5 families with 8 kids under 8! They speak fluent French and have in depth local knowledge of markets, near by towns, great day trips, lakes and things for all manner of visitor to enjoy. The late August weather was gorgeous, and if we got too hot we could cool off in the pool or under many options of shade outside; trees, hammocks, garden furniture and plenty for everyone. The bedrooms were ultra comfy, spacious and well furnished and the large kitchen a hub for many lovely meals, some cooked by us and some by Sarah. I would highly recommend this place to anyone at any time of year be it B & B or hiring the whole place with good friends. We chilled and laughed and ate and drank the very best of the local cuisine both ‘at home’ and out and about. The Ariege region is absolutely stunning and the house beautifully situated in every sense. I can’t recommend it highly enough and we are already planning next year’s visit. Sally Larkin, Bristol

This is my first visit to the Ariege region of France but after staying at La Maison Famille it definitely won’t be my last. The reception from Mr and Mrs Evans and the comfort of our room has been excellent. I took up their offer of two evening meals and Sarah’s rendition of a French Cassoulet was superb. I have made a reservation to return again in September – Truly wonderful stay!

Fantastic facilities for a family of 14. Great welcome from the hosts, who were very accommodating. Our 2 week stay was most enjoyable and the 4 children in our party have made the most of the pool. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The entire family have had a wonderful time and we’ll definitely return in the future.

Had a wonderful break at La Maison Famille. Great days out to swimming lakes that were warm enough in October! Lovely markets nearby and stunning scenery. No better place to enjoy if from than here. Sarah the Chef produced course after course of mouth watering food and generous portions. Our stay couldn’t have been better. Looking forward to returning.

Had a fantastic week staying at La Maison Famille. A beautiful location with so many great places to visit nearby. Sarah and Stuart were so welcoming, we had some great food cooked by our hosts. The house had everything we needed and the kids really enjoyed playing in the garden and with Mojo the dog. Thank you – we look forward to coming back next year!

We have spent a wonderful mid-week break at La Maison Famille, taking in the beautiful landscape, local sights and outstanding hospitality shown to us by the Evans family. Their welcome dinner menu on our arrival was a splendid start to our visit and the following day the subterranean river just down the road was a great hit with our kids. The market in Foix on a Friday morning is perfect for picking up some tasty treats for family members back home. Thank you for everything
