Donkeys and chickens

A quiet village on the outskirts of Navarrenx provided us with everything we needed for our week's holiday. Extremely gracious hosts, and lovely to be able to feed the chickens and donkeys. Will certainly use again if we are in the area.

Fantastic holiday in a fantastic place

We spent a fab 3 weeks in Susmiou - Ken and Shona were great hosts and couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. We were traveling with a 2 year old and a 3 month old and they very kindly provided lots of books and toys and even a paddling pool for the garden! We specifically chose this spot due to its location - easily walkable to the small town of Navarrenx which has an outdoor pool and twice weekly market. Lots to do and see in the surrounding area and the time flew by too quickly. We loved the house - loads of character and nice and cool even when it was very hot outside. The donkeys in the field behind us were a big hit with our toddler too. Lots of space in the house and the enclosed garden was a massive plus with small children. Would highly recommend this to anyone and big thanks again to Ken, Shona and family - we'll hopefully be back!

Great house in a perfect location!

We had a wonderful weeks stay in this lovely village. The house was very clean, comfortable,spacious and well equipped for all our needs. It is a perfect base for exploring the Pyrenees Atlantiques region. It was great to meet Ken and Shona and their delightful children who were always on hand to give helpful advice.We really enjoyed meeting their extended family "The three Donkeys" and their dog!! All so cute!!

Great place to stay

Five of us had a lovely stay here, house roomy, clean and well furnished for a group or a couple. Shona and Ken are excellent hosts, very helpful and we loved the donkeys Would recommend to anyone thinking about visiting this area as it is so close to lots of places worth a visit It was great to sit in front of a real fire on the one very wet day we had Ann, Brian,Margaret,Ellen and Bronwyn from Qld Australia

Very French

We had a great 2 weeks in this lovely French house. It was in a quiet village but within walking distance of supermarket and boulongerie, also lovely walk into Navarantz which we did often. We had meals in Navarantz and enjoyed the local producers night, check out if it is on when you visit. My family went for a swim in the nearby river, there are many activities you can try canoeing,rafting and swimming in the pool. We visited many places while there and the train up the mountain was a highlight for us. As the Tour de France came to Pau while we were ther my husband, son in law and grandson went to see the cyclists. Ken and Shona are very friendly and nothing is too much bother for them but you can have your privacy also. We would certainly return to this cottage the Ken has lovingly restored.

Delightful stay

My husband and I spent a delightful week in Shona and Ken's lovely gite near Navarrenx. It's been beautifully restored and is full of character but with enough space and amenities for a large family. The garden is south facing and completely private with a remarkable BBQ that sadly we didn't get to use. The owners are next door and ready to help with anything at any time, and the location suited us perfectly, as we were able to go for hikes and cycle rides around the area and enjoy the local countryside. Navarrenx is within walking distance, making shopping and eating out very easy, and we also found several good restaurants within a few minutes drive. Definitely recommend it.

Una casa preciosa en un pueblo tranquilo

Fuimos dos familias a pasar la Semana Santa y estuvimos muy a gusto. La casa es antigua (suelos y escaleras de madera, los dos baños en una misma planta) pero está reformada con encanto.Disfrutamos del jardín en los momentos de sol y de la chimenea por la noche.

Wonderful Stay

We had a terrific stay at Ken and Shona's rental. The house was full of character, very comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen in a quiet and scenic neighbourhood. As cyclists, it was a great spot to launch a bike ride from with countless quiet backroads that were picturesque beyond belief. The house was close to all amenities and it was easy to busier roads/highways to travel to other towns and cities such as Pau, Bayonne etc. The pet donkeys were a special treat and we looked forward to seeing them in the mornings while drinking our coffee in the backyard. Shona and Ken were incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions we had. We would highly recommend this house!

Ken and Shona welcome was awesome, very responsive, immediately addressed the Internet access issue after the storm strike and any other request we made (not too many I hope). Ideally located between mountains and sea. Spacious enough for the 6 of us and the wood was readied for the barbecue!!! Thank you for everything.
