Wonderful stay!

Our extended family group of 12 people stayed for five days in early September. We had a wonderful time. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. The setting is idyllic with beautiful views of the surrounding hills and mountains. Lots of great outdoor activities for the kids, and great proximity to Lourdes, to spectacular mountain drives, and to some great hiking. We would definitely return!

Amazing...Loved it!

One of the best places we've ever stayed. Impeccably clean, well equipped, and gorgeous home. Susan, Doug, the property owners, were so welcoming and most helpful! Wonderful hosts! Definitely, a little peace of heaven on earth where one can detox from the hectic and busy city life. My children loved it there! Happy children, happy parents! 😄

Très agréable séjour dans une propriété très belle

Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances chez Doug et Susan. Non seulement les propriétaires sont très accueillants (Ils sont d’excellents cuisiniers—nous recommandons la table d’hôtes), mais ils sont aussi très intéressants; Doug est un musicien, et il a joué de la guitare (il chante très bien!) pour nous un soir, au coin d’un feu. La maison est très jolie, la piscine très agréable, et le jardin, génial pour les enfants (avec des balançoires, un parcours spécial...), avec une vue imprenable sur les collines et montagnes. De plus, il y a de jolis sentiers (créés par Doug!) qui partent de la maison. Pour toutes ces raisons, nous recommandons ce logement avec engouement et espérons y retourner!

Perfect stay :-)

Es war ein toller Urlaub und die Vermieter sehr herzlich und nett! Jederzeit gerne wieder! Es ist sehr ruhig gelegen, daher ist der Supermarkt/die Bäckerei weiter entfernt - etwa 15/20 Minuten mit dem Auto (auf zum Teil sehr schmalen Straßen). Die Ruhe ist andererseits aber auch einfach genial! Das sollte einem vorher bewusst sein. Die Vermieter bieten allerdings Frühstück an - so dass es doch einen Weg zu frischen Croissants gibt ;-). Wir haben das allerdings selber nicht getestet. Dafür haben wir am letzten Abend die Paella mit Tapas vorneweg und genialem Dessert hinterher getestet im Rahmen des "Table d'hôte" - sehr lecker und absolut empfehlenswert!

Stunning location - utterly tranquil, beautiful scenery

The postives - Susan and Doug are lovely hosts; the location is jaw-droppingly beautiful, lovely the views from the garden; very peaceful and absolutely silent at night, great to unwind. Lovely pool area, table tennis, badminton, benches to sit on to read and take in the view. Beds comfy, nice linen and towells. Lots of space, grass, trees. Not quite 5 stars as we believed from the descriptions in the website and HomeAway that there were two bedrooms in the downstairs suite, so we had a few issues agreeing who was going to sleep where across our two families holidaying together - less of an issue probably if travelling with younger children (ours 14-18). The dodgy wifi and poor mobile coverage was a little frustrating but I guess that's rural France. Be aware also if you're planning where to stay that the wonderfully peaceful location also means it's quite a drive in either direction to nearest towns/routes down into the Pyrenees, so what you think is a morning's activity basically takes all day! Having said that, we wanted to turn around and come straight back!!

Fantastisch

Wir haben uns in diesem schönen, alten Haus sofort wohl gefühlt. Susan und Doug sind tolle Gastgeber, hilfsbereit und geben gerne Auskunft und gute Tipps. Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet, mit ausreichend gut ausgestatteten Badezimmern. Ebenso die Küche, man kann sich bestens selbst verpflegen. Gute Parkplatzmöglichkeit, grosse Gartenanlage. Die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Die Zufahrt auf den eher engen, gewundenen Strassen kann ein wenig abenteuerlich sein. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, Danke Susan, Doug und Familie.
