We enjoyed our stay in Susmiou. Lovely large, comfortable space with character and charm. Hosts were great and their recommendation for a restaurant our first evening was 5*.
We had a great 2 week stay. Property exactly as described, wonderful fresh bread from the local bakery 5 mins away. Memorable day trips , relaxing evenings. Would recommend. Friendly, helpful hosts .
This property is in a quiet village conveniently located to all of your basic needs. Ken was friendly and directed to us tp fun local activities and restaurants.
This property was easy to book and we received quick responses to our inquiries. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.
We are a party of five adults who all found Molly Raffa and Maximus (the resident donkeys) an absolute delight. The hosts were very hospitable but not intrusive. The area was central to restaurants wineries and supermarkets
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.
Fantastic cottage in the heart of French countryside!
Beautifully updated and lovingly maintained cottage for a perfect experience of rural France. Very close to two major towns (Pau and Bayonne) as well as multiple charming villages, it makes for an ideal location for exploring the foothills of Pyrénées. The owners, Shona and Ken, are very friendly and accommodating people, truly interested in the comfort of their guests. We strongly recommend the gîte, and hope to return there again soon.
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!

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.
Nous avons passé 3 jours entre amis dans cette maison spacieuse, très agréable avec la cheminée. Nous étions au calme, c’était reposant
Merci au propriétaire pour leur gentillesse et générosité
hotes très chaleureux et serviables. Le gite est bien agencé et agréable pour une famille, avec jardin et salon de jardin permettant de déjeuner dehors.
La maison est charmante, dans un petit hameau très tranquille, avec tout le nécessaire pour passer un bon sejour. Le jardin est très agreable. Les proprietaires ont été souples et très arrangeants pour l'heure du départ. Nous avons fait du rafting, à moins de 10 min de la maison. Un super we!! Merci et à une prochaine fois, nous espérons.
Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un bon séjour dans cette maison bien restaurée, fonctionnelle et au calme. Hôte très accueillant et ânes très gentils!
