Near the border of France and Spain this comfortable self-catering accommodation is an ideal French holiday home to enjoy an area rich in leisure and cultural activities of two countries. This 18c traditional farm house looks most inviting with its steeply raked, tiled, roof, wooden window shutters and partially ivy-clad facade. Downstairs the exposed wood ceiling beams and large romantic wood burning fireplace bring real French character to the comfortable, open-plan living accommodation, with the added bonus of a second sitting room upstairs. Outside, the terrace looks out over the Laa and the garden, well stocked with established nut, fruit and palm trees, slopes to the impressive, secluded and enclosed pool area, (with Jacuzzi and jet current for the keen swimmer). Behind the barn, a flat area allows games of croquet and petanque. Inside there is more - games, books, CDs, Videos, DVD's, push chair, baby alarm, safety gate. Surfing, skiing, golfing await.

A great holiday in Southern France!!

Disco Knowle
Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed at the farm house the first week of September 2008 for five glorious days. The farmhouse is beautifully maintained as are the gardens and great pool, although a little cold by this time of year sadly. However, that didn't dampen our enthusiasm. Hirondelles is located so well to get to the coast, fantastic French towns and villages close by, Lourdes and even Northern Spain which was our next destination on our trip.

There's plenty to do if you just want to stay in at night and relax or even laze around the pool. Lots of books and games to occupy all ages are in the farmhouse. There's also plenty of outdoor games in the laundry building which is across the drive from the house itself, even a barbeque for you to use.

I'd definitely recommend this as a place to stay if you're thinking of travelling to the area. Great places are Pau, Lourdes, St.Jean de la Luz, Biarritz!!

Review Submitted: May 17, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
A lovely house in a quiet village. The house is well laid out and nice and cool in the summer due to thick stone walls. It is a comfortably, but simply furnished property, with lots of space for friends or families travelling together.

This was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life for us. However, with a hire car, we were easily able to take a number of day trips to medieval fortified towns, amazing caves, mountain spa villages and lovely seaside resorts. Oh, and Spain!

I really enjoy the home-from-home feeling of the property, with a decently sized and well supplied kitchen so that we could cook proper meals in the evenings.

We have visited several times already, and will be going back again with friends and family soon.
