Calm & Comfortable Flat in the Heart of the Pyrenean Spa of Bagnères-de-Bigorre
Bagnères-de-Bigorre, a charming spa town in the Pyrénées and long visited by the French sees few foreign visitors. Perhaps this is why the locals are so friendly! Our apartment is in the heart of the old town yet is in a beautiful and peaceful location which includes a shared but private courtyard garden overlooked by our balcony. It is on the first and second floors of an old converted hotel and is accessible via a spiral staircase. The first floor is an open plan living room with a well-equipped kitchen. A separate utility room contains a washing machine and dryer. Stairs lead up from the living room to the three bedrooms (one double, two twins), the bathroom and the shower room (each of these has a WC). There is a sofa bed in the living area and a cot is available. So we can sleep up to 8 adults (or 9 if one is a child sleeping in a cot). We have internet access and a phone. The TV gives several English programmes as well as French ones. There is also a radio/CD player. Final cleaning, bed linen, towels and a welcome pack of essentials and a bottle of wine are included in the price.

Superb quiet apartment in very heart of Bagneres
We received a warm welcome on arrival from Graham and Bernie who met us as arranged in the square and thereafter everything was exactly as described.
The three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodated the 5 of us fine and the open plan downstairs proved really comfortable. The outlook onto the enclosed courtyard was both pretty and very quiet. Central location ideal for easy access to the extensive shops, markets and eating places of Bagneres.
All the hot water and equipment worked fine.
Recommend to anyone other than those who can't cope with the spiral stairs to get to the front door!
Nous avons apprécié notre séjour dans cet appartement
Nos enfants s’y sont beaucoup plu
Seul bémol l’éloignement des places de parking rendant compliqué le transport des bagages à l’arrivée et au retour
Sinon rien a redire
Appartement joliment décoré
Bien agencé et agréable
Belle exposition au soleil
Un bon séjour

Spacieux, confortable et très bien situé!
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine.
L'appartement est très confortable, très spacieux et très pratique: à 2 pas du marché, des thermes et du casino. La montée vers les pistes (La Mongie ou Payolle) est assez pratique.

Lovely Apartment in centre of Bagneres
Good apartment in the very centre of Bagneres. First floor apartment off little communal passage in the lane behind the Pizzeria. Property was clean, quiet, comfortable and very well equipped. Had a very comfortable stay and thought the flat was good value. Jane helpful, deposit promptly and proactively returned. Bernie and Graeme who gave us access to the flat very responsive (met us when we arrived late Saturday evening and bailed us out when we mislaid a key).

An Amazing Stay! Magnifique!
We had an amazing stay in a comfortable warm apartment with a choice of bakers a little walk away, freshly pressed oranges every morning, restaurants around the corner with coffees and delicious food. The mountains close by, the spa nearby, an apartment where we would liked to have stayed for a much longer time then the one week we had.
We could find everything we needed inside the apartment including an orange juicer which we used every day and the books on the landing.
Also I would like to mention that the communication with the owner has been great even though we were booking the apartment only a few weeks before arrival and we had arrival and leaving days which were out of the ordinary, we felt there was lots of room for negotiation and the whole experience has felt generous and easy.
Thank you very very much!!

Quiet apartment in Heart of Bagneres de BdB
Had a superb week . The welcome from Graham and Bernie who met us in the square outside and then showed us round was great and the apartment was very clean and tidy just as in the photos.
The central location meant we could go off independently to market, shops and the many eating out possibilities.
Car parking in square outsidefree overnight (but only 20 cents for first 55 mins past 9.00am in meter) or or a few minutes walk down by river

Le Bach BdB
We had a wonderful stay in Bagnères-de-Bigorre and the apartment helped contribute to that. Graham and Bernie were there to welcome us and show us the ropes. The apartment is very comfortable and secure, and conveniently close to shops and restaurants.
The town has a French feel with little foreign tourism presence or impact, and our poor French was no problem with locals who had a very friendly attitude. BdB was certainly well placed for what we wanted to see and do, big enough to have all amenities but quiet and peaceful at the same time. The Saturday market was a great way to rest the limbs after our hiking and enjoy town and wind up our all too short stay.

We arrived earlier than planned and phoned Bernie on the number we had been given to ask if we could gain entry. No problem, and Bernie and Graham arrived within ten minutes and let us in and gave us a briefing on the apartment and the local attractions.
The apartment is one of the most comfortable we have stayed in with plenty of hot water and heating. Although situated in the middle of Bagneres, it was quiet and secure and with free parking just a few minutes away. The town itself has plenty of interest, shops and restaurants and within easy reach are Lourdes, Cirque de Gavarnie and the interesting town of Pau.
The apartment is fully equipped, very comfortable and conveniently situated. We would certainly book it again.

Comfortable and well-equpped apartme
The apartment was very well located in the centre of town and close to shops and restaurants. It was very comfortably furnished and the kitchen well- equipped.
There is a lot to do around here - especially if you like walking and mountain scenery.
We really enjoyed our stay and are happy to recommend it.
About the host
Hosted by Jane Seaford
Two of us own the apartment in Bagnères-de-Bigorre. My daughter and I.
My name is Jane. I live in New Zealand and write short stories and novels.
My daughter is called Mela and currently has the hard task of, together with her husband David, raising their 3 kids, as well as having a full time job.
All of us enjoy spending time in our flat which we love.
Why they chose this property
My daughter & I bought this flat in the charming Pyrenean town of Bagnères-de-Bigorre as we were both born in the UK &, although we now live in New Zealand, we wanted a place in Europe suitable for both summer & winter - skiing - holidays. Staying with friends in the area I visited the town & loved it. A year later, ready to buy, this flat was the first property I visited in a packed 3 days of looking at places for sale. It was perfect; nothing else I saw was anywhere near as good. So I made an offer, had it accepted and was in the notaire’s office the following morning. We love staying in the flat;family and friends love it, too. And every guest who has rented it tell us how much they have enjoyed their visit. I smile every time I think of the place and the pleasure it has bought so many.
What makes this property unique
There is nothing about the flat - so central yet so calm and peaceful, or the town - so charmingly French, or the area - wonderful mountains, superb countryside - that we would change.
