The house dates back to the 16th century and has since been extended to provide spacious bedrooms and communal areas. The building is set in secluded grounds with a swimming pool, sun terrace, children's play equipment and orchard. Inside is a large dining room, living room, games room and gym. We have five en-suite bedrooms and can accommodate families, individuals or groups.

"This place is better than a five-star hotel", T.B., Cambridge.

Grounds - the fenced garden has a swimming pool, play equipment for young children, a large lawn for ball games, plenty of trees to climb or hide behind and you may just see one of our cats, dogs or chickens (feel free to collect a fresh egg for breakfast!).  We grow a lot of our own fruit and veg, so  pick a pear or sample the walnuts, kiwis, figs or peaches.  Our separate field also has plenty of space for mountain-biking practise and a picnic table by the river. The sun terrace is brilliant for sun-worshippers as you can catch the rays all day long. A covered terrace has tables and chairs for breakfast or dinner outside. Barbecues are also available for your use.

"This is a gorgeous place. I loved the swimming pool & the space to roam around.", S.N., Cambridge.

Inside - breakfast is served in the dining room (or outside if you prefer). Our continental breakfast consists of croissants, bread, cereals, fruit and yoghurts. Cyclists may prefer energy-boosting options of omelettes and porridge, while a full English breakfast, or German option of cold meats and cheeses is available on request. We definitely recommend trying our fresh hens' eggs - poached, scrambled, boiled or fried. Evening meals and packed lunches are available each day. Our large living room has a real fire for cold winter nights after skiing, plus UK television and a dvd player if you fancy a quiet evening in. Make yourself at home in the house, borrow a book or a pack of cards or browse through our list of recommendations for evenings or days out. The games room has a pool table, Playstation 2 and games, dart boards, various board games and puzzles, plus a large library of books, videos and dvds for you to use. The gym is available anytime and has a range of equipment including weights, a rowing machine, steppers, an exercise bike, punch bag and a treadmill.

Bedrooms - our five bedrooms are all en-suite. All five can be arranged either as doubles, twins or triples as necessary. Our Pla d'Adet bedroom includes a spa bath and dressing room plus your own balcony to sit out and survey the grounds. All rooms include tea- and coffee-making facilities. Our Tourmalet & Col d'Aspin bedrooms can be offered as a family suite (for up to five plus a baby).  This also includes a kitchenette, allowing you to be self-catering if you so wish. A cot and high-chair are always available for babies.
