What Our Guests have said..........
September & October 2008 "L'Ecurie was very comfortable and well equipped set in the beautiful Ariege countryside - perfectly
situated for walking and sightseeing - all the varied and facinating sites in the area.
Sara
and Jeff made us very welcome and most helpful with advice or the best places to go. The loan of the book on walks in
the area was most useful. A wonderful
5 weeks."
December 2008
"Thank you Sara & Jeff. We have had a brilliant time here. Well equipped and comfortable.
In the few days here we've packed in so much from cross country walking at Beille to catching the cable car up from Ax-Les-Thermes
to the top ski station to sit in the sun watching the skiers! Brilliant! "
June 2009
"This wonderful home away from home had met all our expectations. We felt very comfortable and
welcome. We found the location ideal for going around this region. It is pretty close to everywhere really."
The memory of this restful place will always have
a special please in our hearts."
July 2009
"We had a lovely relaxing week here with several trips and walks. We were very
comfortable and enjoyed the pool. One of our best stays after about 10 other places in France!"
August 2009 "Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable gite in its
rustic setting. As the weather has been blistering hot we have really appreciated the wonderful pool. We have
made good use of the helpful guest information, which we have found very accurate. Many thanks to Sara & Jeff for
their warm welcome and friendly hospitality!"
October 2009 "We
had a superb time visiting castles, towns and mountains of the Ariege and Pyrenees. We explored ancient villages and
towns, in what we can only describe as french Tuscany. Wow! What could be better? Your home was simply delightful,
very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. We enjoyed the company of Tanga and Annabelle.
We felt at home
in Pamiers - comfortable and unpretentious.
We religiously followed and enjoyed all your recommded itinerary of
places to visit.
Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us, it was enriching."
