"We had a fab week here – cycling, walking, eating, relaxing. Trips to Narbonne, Carcassonne, Durban and St Pauls( Gorge). Excellent house! Full of character – we are all totally chilled’"
- Andrew & the cycling Team. Manchester & Bromsgrove UK ( September 2011)
"We had a really great week at Domaine de Graffan. The house and pool are lovely and we enjoyed the added benefits of bikes, table tennis and boules. The other good thing is how close we are to the main motorway for sightseeing etc. to top it all we had some gorgeous weather."
The Smales family Oxfordshire – ( September 2011)
(Please note. The paege is 4 miles from the house – and cannot be heard! – Clare Davis)
"Our second visit and it just gets better ….topped off with the addition of a dish washer! Still beautiful, and the sun shone every day. Lovely Cave at Tournissan where we bought some lovely Damoiselles wine. We will see you again Graffan."
Lesley Shaw & friends – Manchester UK (July 2011).
"Tremendous house. Suited us perfectly. Weather scorching! Loved Ferrals but better bread in Lezignan! A few hiccups on arrival but Michel was very obliging. Merci!"
-Clarkes &Youngs .Somerset UK (June 2011).
"One hour after arriving sporadic gunfire broke out in the street….revolution – Non!. We had just the good fortune to arrive during the rugby league final. Half an hour later we were (invited) by Michel to join the party – and brass band. What seemed like a thousand handshakes (then) ensued. What wonderful people. We danced, drank and sang with people who have been greeting us in the street all week. Thank you Clare & nick. It’s been a pleasure to stay here, although we have never met. Michel & Natalie vousetesambassadeurs de la France!’"
The Morley family & friends – Victoria. Australia. – (June 2011).

Carol Mason – Alva, Scoyland – (July 2010).
"Thank you. We had a great time. House had plenty to offer , kids loved the pool and table tennis. My nephew played piano lots. Accommodation had lots of extras which was great. Had a lovely relaxed holiday and this was my first villa holiday, even better than a hotel! A beautiful house."
Wendy Slevine Ayreshire, Scotland - (July 2010).
"Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your lovely house. Had a great time exploring the area – acyoning at Termes – highly recommeneded. Ping pongtournamenst, swimming in the river at Ribaute – wonderful! ( but watch the rocks!)"
– Dallas & family Edinburgh, Scotland – (July 2010)
"I wanted to say a quick thank you on behalf of us all for our stay in your lovely house, we really enjoyed the space, the pool and the "Frenchness" of the village and surroundings and have made a start on the local area although really didn't do it justice as we were very happy just chilling!"
Rosalind, August 2011
I wanted to say a quick thank you on behalf of us all for our stay in your lovely house, we really enjoyed the space, the pool and the "Frenchness" of the village and surroundings and have made a start on the local area although really didn't do it justice as we were very happy just chilling!"What a fantastic place! There seems to have been a great deal of thought put into every detail and the house is obviously much loved and enjoyed. It is very secluded and private, but not out in the middle of nowhere, so you get the best of both worlds. We enjoyed driving around each day and finding places to go and visit, but it was always comforting to return to the house at the end of our excursions – it felt like home. Now that we have discovered this house we will definitely be booking it again.""
Mary, Isle of Wight, September 2010
"We really enjoyed the spaciousness of this lovely old rambling house. There is a great sense of space, light, and history about the place, and a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. The swimming pool and BBQ in the courtyard really contributes to the relaxation, and is a lovely place for a quiet read.
It was a bonus to have bikes that we could use, and it was fun exploring the local villages and vineyards by bike."
Aileen O'Brien, September 2010
"Personally it is my favourite of the holiday houses/locations I've stayed in and definitely plan to return to the area. We did a lot of running and cycling around the villages and wine tasting at a couple of the local vignerons. And on the last night we had a great night at the village fete! We didn't expect to end up dancing in the village until 2am!"
Josh Lawrence, August 2010
"Just a note to say thanks, we all really enjoyed our stay at Domain de Graffan last week. The house, pool and facilities were perfect, charming and ideally located to explore the area. The weather was also great and we ate out on the terrace every night. We certainly enjoyed the local food and wine and found a few tasty reds. The kids discovered a love of the film Oliver Twist from your collection that they watched almost every day when the sun was strongest!
Best wishes, you have done a great job with the property which I am sure will give you years of joy; we are all very jealous!"
Mark Pearson, August 2010
"I'd just like to say a big thank you from all of us for letting us rent you're lovely villa. We had a great week. The village was quiet and sleepy but we did go to the wine tasting place at the end of the road when they had a live music night and had a bit of a dance. Everyone was friendly to us. I love the region and will continually come back but it was nice going out with my extended family. We were a big family group of teenagers and adults, we had loads of space. The villa was so well equipped. From badmington to table tennis, bike rides and water volleyball no-one got bored. We had long lazy lunches and evening meals. The rocking sun chairs were a huge hit we wondered where you got them from. The outdoor space was the best we have had. I would certainly recommend your villa.
There were two drawbacks though. One week wasn't long enough and we enjoyed being at the house so much we didn't do a lot of sightseeing."
Mrs C Mason, July 2010
"I just love, love, love this house. Long lazy days of bike riding, eating and drinking - the perfect recipe for relaxation."
Natalie, Witney - May 2009
"The perfect home from home. The house layout worked really well for such a large group (there were 10 of us) and the village pizza takeaway was a real hit with hungry teenagers. Already planning our return trip!"
Mr & Mrs McGill - May 2009
"Such a beautiful house, a real home from home. It was so relaxing, we could not have felt more welcome."
Laura, Kat, Em, Rach, Amy and Mel - September 2008
"Disappointed at first that in such a well presented and thought-out house that there was no dishwasher!! However, quickly rediscovered the social event of washing up. A beautiful area to explore in a wholly undiscovered area of France."
Mrs Shaw, Manchester - October 2008
"Thank you so much for such a memorable holiday. Great house and fantastic location. Carcassonne and Narbonne both beautiful and so close. Lots of biking and walking in stunning countryside. My only issue is my French, but made easier by a very friendly French speaking village. A phrase book is essential!"
Mrs Nicholson, London - September 2008
"A real taste of French France. To find a house with such peace in a village location was beyond our expectations. The villagers are so friendly - our French improved rapidly!"
Rena N, Newport R.I (USA) - July 2009
"Our family enjoyed a wonderful time this Summer in the beautiful Domaine de Graffan in the village of Ferrals-les-Corbieres. This authentic and historic French farm house truly was amazing and spacious with gorgeous thick stone walls, seemingly oozing with character. It was a perfect location in a totally authentic French village and convenient to Perpignan and a variety of other French villages. We rode bikes and took walks through the picturesque tracks of endless vineyards. We spend a wonderful day in the ancient town of Narbonne and had an amazing trip to the walled City of Carcasonne. Domaine de Graffan has all the comforts with a lovely pool and a private patio for outdoor eating and entertainment. It was exactly the trip we had dreamed of and we are looking forward to visiting again soon."
Wright Family, Charleston, South Carolina (USA) - August 2009
