BRUYCHOUS

Très bon moment avec Tom (notre hôte) dont nous partageons le goût de la musique et des chansons. La maison respire l'authenticité, la chaleur d'une maison vivante. On s'y sent bien ! Faites simplement attention à la petite route où on ne croise pas facilement d'autres véhicules. Merci à Tom pour son accueil. Andrea Jean-Marc septembre 2023.

Les enfants étaient ravis de partager ce grand espace avec les poules, les chats et surtout l'adorable chien , Moses.

Ariège authentique et au calme

Le propriétaire Tom répond très rapidement aux besoins de ses locataires. il possède chats, chien gentil et joueur. La grange de trois siècles bien équipée est appréciable pour sa fraicheur par temps chaud. La région est riche en sites culturels et historiques. Le seul bémol les chemins de randonnée ne sont pas toujours bien dégagés renseignez vous.

Hidden Gem in nature

We booked Tom's place as a quiet retreat for our family (2 adults, 3 teenagers). It was a wonderful stay. The winding road takes you up the mountainside to this quiet home with views in both directions. We stayed in the spring (late March) when the grass was green but the leaves were not yet on the trees. The weather was pleasant, and the homes unique fireplace kept us warm on the crisp evenings. The place was perfect for our family, with one bedroom for the parents and another for the teens. The teens even had a separate fireplace that we used on two of evenings. The hot shower was very refreshing, and we utilized the jacuzzi tub on one occasion. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed cookware for us to cook dinner there for one of the evenings, and we had a lovely dinner in Saint-Girons (25 min) for another evening. We enjoyed day trips to Foix, Grotte du Mas d-Azil, Alus-les-Bains and especially enjoyed the local markets on Friday and Saturday mornings. Tom was a very kind host who did everything he could to make our stay comfortable. If you're looking for luxury accommodations in the hustle and bustle of the city, this is not the place for you. But if you want a rustic, charming, comfortable and affordable place away from it all, yet within driving distance of the local sites, we recommend Gite Bruychous.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Zoethout

We are your neighbors, and I'm your host, useful if you have any question, but we also realize that you are on holiday and maybe just want peace and quiet.
Our goal is you spending a wonderful vacation just the way you like it.
Beside the vacation rental we grow shiitake mushrooms on a part of our land for a living.

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet, the fresh air and the view, no traffic around you but the chirping of birds and crickets and the wind in the trees. Stay in nature at 800 mtr altitude overlooking the valleys and foothills of the French pyrenees in one of the most beatiful departments.
