A lovely country home in the foothills of the magnificent Pyrenees

We felt very privileged to stay in this beautiful place. We were able to explore the mountains and return to the warmth and comfort of this rural valley and the beautifully restored house with its superb views. Everything is done perfectly, including Zayne's wonderful baking, which made breakfast a real delight.

A Perfect and Lovely Stay

We had a lovely week at this place with Zayne and Tobias as perfect, very kind and always supportive hosts! Super customized hiking, restaurant or sightseeing recommendations and delicious breakfast and ongoing friendliness. Can totally recommend this place and the people! Thanks for everything Zayne and Tobias!

Andreas, 🇩🇪 Germany

One truly exceptional chambre d'hôtes by any yardstick!

I loved the peaceful setting; the lovely garden with its fairy forest; the cosy bedroom with a comfortable bed; the wonderful swimming pool. And above all the hosts! Tobias and Zayne are no ordinary couple. I very much enjoyed our many conversations.

The secret of the Pyrenees is no longer a secret. It's a little paradise!


What a magnificent place in the French Pyrenees! If you are looking for a little paradise, you can find it here. Host Tobias gave us excellent tips for race biking, with the Soulor, Aubisque and Marie Blanque in the neighbourhood. The swimming pool is nicely situated in the garden and offers a splendid view over the valley and mountains. Breakfast was delicious and served in the beautiful garden. For sure we will come back! Thank you Zayne and Tobias for our unforgettable visit to Secret Pyrenées!

Exceptional 

Very nice room with luxurious bathroom and very comfortable beds. Delicious and very extensive breakfast. Very friendly hosts that can help with anything from the best place to buy cheese to the best hikes in the mountains or running trails around the house. But it's also the perfect accommodation if you want to do absolutely nothing and spend your day at the large pool with very comfortable chairs. Many nice restaurants in the area.

Charming B&B in the footsteps of the Mountains


Zayne and Tobias are very nice hosts and created a very charming B&B. The view from the terrace of the fantastic breakfast is amazing and using the sunny pool is a delight. The rooms are nicely decorated and have large bathrooms and comfortable beds. It is very peaceful and calm. The mind can rest. The serious mountains are close and the location is well for going for day trips. Highly recommended and we will return for sure.

Exceptional


We spent 7 nights in this wonderful house and it wasn't a day too long. We could have spent more time. The place is a paradise of peace and comfort in the middle of nature. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with a beautiful view of the green hills. The house is surrounded by a big garden with a beautiful pool with several terraces to sit and relax in all tranquillity and privacy. There is even a small river with a romantic ‘Bois des fées’. Everything is provided to arrange your own picnic. Breakfast was delicious and fresh every day with homemade yoghurt and gaufres. Tobias and Zayne are wonderful hosts and gave us a lot of ideas for beautiful walks and cycle routes in the area.  We really didn’t want to leave and will surely come back!

Super relaxing in a wonderfully active outdoors sort of way!


A totally perfect stay. The house has a wonderful rustic charm and Zayne and Tobias have included all the right luxury touches (huge beds, great linen and great showers) to make it a really relaxing and indulgent place to be. They both have masses of local knowledge and are really helpful in advising on everything from the best cycle/ walking/ running routes to the best dinner spots and where to grab a coffee. They are both incredibly friendly and go the extra mile to make sure you are well set up for your stay. Their home prepared breakfasts are perfect. As is the wonderful terrace you eat them on.

Magical wonderland in the Pyrenees!!!


The hosts Tobias and Zayne are incredibly welcoming, their accommodation is a beautiful little wonderland of flowers and colours and incredible views, and the breakfasts were delicious!! Very comfy super big bed, the whole experience exceeded our expectations!

Happy relaxing stay, lovely

French scenery & location are lovely. My first impression was when the lovely old wooden door opened into the house & garden - my wife just went WOW. So many areas we could use for our picnic dinner, Tobias & Zayne, the hosts, supply cutlery, plates & a fridge for guests to use. The cat did approve of us & shared our meal. Our rooms were very modern, stylish & elegant, soft pillows & mattresses, a modern bathroom with a lovely spacious shower. Breakfast: fresh homemade produce continental style, yum. Excellent location to visit the Pyrenees. Highly recommended

Bliss in view of the mountains 

The location is perfect for trips into the mountains yet near enough to be within reach of required amenities - there is even a restaurant within an easy walk. The quality of the accommodation is outstanding, the renovation has been done to an excellent standard, with quality fixtures and fittings. The garden is stunning with a relaxing pool area to match. Breakfast is delicious and varied, enjoyed in the tranquil gardens if the weather permits. The hosts are welcoming, knowledgeable about the locale, and determined that their guests have the best possible stay. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough - truly outstanding!

Perfect in every way

We loved the beautiful setting and garden. Both Tobias and Zayne were immediately friendly, fun to talk with, and extremely helpful in telling us about hikes and other activities in the area. An allround great place to visit.

Kim, 🇺🇸 United States

Great stay for cyclists riding the Camino

Tobias is a great host. He did everything possible to serve us. As an example, he reserved the restaurant for us, offered us to use his washing machine, and gave us energy tablets for our bidons. Besides all this the rooms are great. Nice comfy beds. Great atmosphere. We really enjoyed staying here.
