Description inside property: Open all year round, a beautiful Béarnaise barn, dated 1760, newly renovated into two separate family sized gites, plus two bed and breakfast rooms within the main property. Our self contained, self catering gites offer the perfect holiday accommodation in the pyrenees. Both gites show original stone walls and the original exposed oak beams. The gites consist of a fitted kitchen, cosy open-plan lounge area with comfortable sofas, satellite TV and DVD player on the ground floor and bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floors. All towels and bed linen are supplied and changed on a weekly basis.
The Courtyard Gite has three bedrooms, sleeping up to six adults. On the first floor is the large double bedroom, shower room with toilet and an additional separate toilet. A wooden staircase leads from the first floor landing up to the second floor, where there are two further double bedrooms. The first floor has a glass panelled door letting the sunshine beam through all day, which leads directly onto the private balcony, overlooking the charming courtyard, where you can enjoy peace and beautiful views.
Description outside property: This gite has exclusive use of the traditional Béarnaise balcony, overlooking the charming courtyard, which is adorned with colourful flowers and the spectacular mountains beyond, also with French doors from the ground floor lounge area leading into its own exclusive area of the courtyard to sit and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The secluded garden is shared with just our one bedroom gite and is surrounded by the typically French countryside with an attractive swimming pool at the far end and stunning views of the mountains. Available are tables and chairs and also sunloungers by the pool and the use of a barbeque for those warm balmy evenings. The property is superbly located in the quiet village of Issor, with just a short stroll over the pretty stream to its own bar/café and shop. But also just 10mins drive to the picturesque town of Oloron-Sainte-Marie with everything you need, a large choice of supermarkets, boutiques, cafes and restaurants and a typical French market every Friday. The bread lady delivers to the property five mornings a week opening her van doors to a wonderful mouth-watering array of fresh breads, croissants and cakes to choose from.

Description of local area and activities: The area is bursting with activites and beautiful places to see. Mountain peaks, forests, lakes and river valleys combine to create a natural paradise. Haut-Béarn is a main attraction and incorporates the spectacularly scenic Parc National des Pyrénées. The vallées Aspe and Ossau are the two most spectacular. Lescun is a favourite location for mountain lovers - from here you can see the famous Les Aiguilles (needles) d'Ansabère rock formation. Laruns is another scenic mountain base with great hiking routes. Bird-lovers will enjoy the Falaise aux Vautours at Aste-Béon, a protected colony for native birds of prey incuding kites, falcons, kestrels and vultures. The scenic train Le Petit Train d'Artouste is a good way to take in the landscape if you have young children. Another worthwhile visit is the Pic du Midi Observatory. A cable car takes you to the 2877m summit and the views are incredible. It hardly seems appropriate to go underground but the Grottes de Betharram near Lourdes. The beautiful city of Pau is a worthwhile daytrip. The city hosts international golf, equestrian and motor-racing tournaments - the Pau Vintage Grand Prix each May brings thousands of people to the city.

| Notes: We are ideally situated for golfing holidays and golf is a boom sport here in France and has been for 10 years or so now. In fact, the game of golf in France, started in Aquitaine. What’s more, golf in continental Europe started in Aquitaine! Pau Golf Club (founded 1856) was the first course built in Europe outside of the British Isles. And Biarritz Le Phare (founded 1889) was the second! Seven of Aquitaine's 40+ courses date back to pre-war times. |

| Notes: We are just 35mins door to door, from the stunning ski resort of La Pierre Saint Martin. Settled on the west of the Pyrenees, at a height of 1650 meters, La Pierre Saint Martin is a ski resort with a magnificent landscape. It has a lovely village nestled in a beautiful pine forest. At the bottom of the slopes, face the famous Pic d'Anie, with a panoramic ski field benefitting from the warm sunshine. It's a perfect place for everyone to ski, families and children. |
