Peace and quiet in the heart of the village:
The house is opposite the Mairie (town hall) and less than a minute’s walk from the main village square.
On the ground floor there's a comfortable lounge, extensive dining room and substantial, well-equipped kitchen opening on to a patio. Additionally there's an L-shaped day room with room to sit and relax or for the children to play. It opens on to the garden. There’s also a shower room, a toilet and a fully-equipped utility room on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are six bedrooms, a second bathroom, a separate toilet and a shower room with toilet.
The garden is fully enclosed and includes a pool, a patio and grassed areas offering sun and shade. The pool is 10m x 5m plus large shallow steps well-suited to smaller children and non-swimmers. It has a sunbathing terrace and is surrounded by a safety fence with self-closing gate.
Maubourguet:
Maubourguet is situated in the Hautes-Pyrénées département. It's only 10 miles from Marciac, famous for the annual jazz festival.
Around 2,500 people live in Maubourguet, so it’s equipped with everything you might need: a weekly market on Tuesdays plus a mini-market, supermarket, bakeries, post office, cash points, choice of bars and restaurants, park and sports fields all within ten minutes’ walk of the house.
Pyrenees:
The beauty of the Pyrenees has made the mountains a popular destination for hiking, climbing, walking, cycling and – of course- skiing.
Maubourguet is around 45 miles north of La Mongie Tourmalet, one of the major ski resorts in the Pyrenees, which offers downhill, off piste and cross-country skiing plus snowboarding, snow-shoeing, snow-mobiling and dog sledding.
The Pyrenees are well suited to walking, whether you’re a novice or an expert. There are also a number of organisations, including the Pyrenees Club, that organise group walks.
Guest Book:
'We did enjoy being in the village and walking to boulangerie and bars!'
Mrs Sloan from Scotland...
'The house itself was so big that even with 3 families there was plenty of room for peace and quiet if you needed it. Real treats were the stack of pool towels and changing bed linen and house towels after a week. Lillian and Thierry were delightful, friendly and wonderfully helpful ambassadors for you and the area, with a fund of local knowledge. Maurbourget's position near the mountains/marciac jazz/rivers/pau/lourdes was perfect for touring about.'
Mr Casey from England...
'Our stay in Maubourguet was a big success and the house certainly contributed to it.'
Mr Lebleu from France...
'Bambou was great and Liliane was very helpful and kind.'
