An Excellent Place To Stay

martin k Stockport
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Wonderful place in an excellent location as a base to explore the area. The accommodation is charming in a rustic sort of way, the owners are delightful, friendly people who are always ready to help but also give you the space to enjoy your holiday. One of the best holidays I've had in my life.

A wonder few days in the mountains

mn-girl St. Paul, Minnesota USA
Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Situated just outside of Ainsa, this lovely country cottage is located in one of the most beautiful and interesting geologic areas in the world. There are so many places to explore by foot and car that a mere week is not nearly enough - you will definitely wish to return.

The accomodations are beautiful, well-kept and very clean. The gardens are a treat to walk through or picnic in one the sitting areas and enjoy viewing the garden and wildlife. The owners/hosts live on site and are friendly and helpful in making your visit outstanding.

Romantic Gem of a Place

Review Submitted: November 27, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The accommodation was rustic and romantic and the hosts are friendly, helpful people. The Chicken Coop is just outside of Ainsa and is central for exploring the magnificent Pyrenees. We are booking to go again next year as there is so much to see.

Chicken Coop

Luís Lisbon
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The Chicken Coop is a charming apartment perfectly comfortable for the summer and decorated with simplicity and good rustic taste. It is surrounded by a magnificent english garden with a mediterranean touch. Hammocks, swings and garden chairs are scattered around in little corners surrounded by vegetation).
The hosts make sure that the stay is as pleasant as they can make it, giving all the information about the places they love, but always allowing you total privacy.
Definitely one of the best places for a summer vacation in the Pyrenees.
