Our Rooms
We have three rooms, all recently redecorated in Farrow and Balls colours, with en-suite bathrooms, Egyptian cotton linen, white fluffy towels, Flatscreen TV, and best of all, stunning views of the Pyrenean foothills.
Chambre de Barétous
Chambre d’Aspe
Chambre d’Ossau
Each of our rooms are named after one of our nearby valleys: Ossau, Aspe and Baretous. And because there is so much to do in the Pyrenees for lovers of the Outdoors (and why we moved to this region), we’ve themed each room to one of our passions – skiing, cycling and trail running – activities that you can do aplenty in this beautiful and lush region in the South West of France.

Where To Eat
Blend| Wellness Cafe
It only launched in the Spring of 2019, but this little boutique styled cafe has already proven a huge success. It's run by two young people who've travelled the world and wanted to create a cafe with great coffee and healthy food. It's the perfect spot for a time out whilst visiting Pau.
Beanz Cafe
We love Beanz! It might be small, but it's cosy, cute and they serve awesome coffee and yummy cake with lots of smiles. You'll find freelancers working there, locals and foreigners alike. It's like a beacon for those looking for something a bit different.
L'Etable d'Ossau
This restaurant is hands down our favourite. The value for money you get from eating here is incredible. In the summer the terrace offers fabulous panoramic views of the Pyrenees, the quality of the food is second to none, everything is locally sourced. It's really, really good! Book in advance - as it's always full.

Gem of a find in country surroundings
The location is stunning and only a short drive from Pau. Breakfast outside in the garden overlooking the valley is superb. The young couple who have renovated the property are delightful and welcome you. A lovely find.
