Relaxing holiday

Hully Sheffield
Review Submitted: September 7, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This was our second holiday in the gite. The accomodation is immaculately clean and very well equiped. The pool is a very good size with lovely views over the countryside to the Pyrenees. These views are also from the balcony on the gite. The owners [Suzy and Mike] are very welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for them.They will also cook evening meal for you - the food was absolutely delicious!!! and plenty of it.It is an ideal location for a relaxing holiday but there are plenty of places to visit and activities to try if relaxing is not for you. We went canoeing down the Gorges which was well worth doing. Local golf courses were very good and the area is ideal for cycling and walking.We wouldn't hesitate to return again.

Review Submitted: July 27, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at the gite for our last week of a 3 week tour of western Europe and we certainly saved the best till last . We were not disappointed the gite is lovely with wonderful views, Mike & Suzie are a great couple. We spent our holiday chilling by the pool and enjoying fantastic food prepared by Suzie. If you are looking for a peaceful high quality place to stay , look no further.

Relaxing holiday.

Misubo Lincolnshire
Review Submitted: June 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The property is immaculately clean and well equipped. The view is amazing and together with the relaxing pool creates a wonderful atmosphere. Suzie and Mike are great hosts and with Suzie's excellent culinary skills, we did not look elsewhere for a restaurant. Why drive anywhere when you can have a fabulous meal overlooking the fabulous views! There is plenty to see and do in the region, but if the weather is good you will have to force yourself to do more than chill out by the pool!

Fantastic Facilities, Fantastic Location

Midlander West Midlands
Review Submitted: September 28, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The setting, the building and the hosts - Suzie and Mike- are truly fantastic. We spent most of our week in the area sightseeing (because there is lots to see) but would have been equally happy 'chilling out' and doing very little at En Croup Bas.The facilities are second to none and nothing seems to be too much trouble for either Suzie or Mike - even to providing meals and wine. We had a really wonderful time and would happily recommend it to anyone. We will be returning.

Spacious farmhouse gite in stunning countryside

composer sandbach
Review Submitted: September 7, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This is a spacious, well-equipped gite with fabulous views across the countryside to the Pyrenees and Black Mountains. The pool is a good size and equipped with very comfortable sun-loungers and plenty of parasols. The owners, Mike and Susie, were very welcoming and had very good knowledge of the area. A good location from which to explore many of the region's attractions. We even managed a day trip to Andorra and its capital.
