Spacious house with stunning views of the Pyrenees, private heated pool and large secluded garden Reviews

We rented the house for 5 nights from 18-23rd May with the intention of using it as a base to do some motorcycle touring in the Pyrenees region. Annabel was extremely helpful in meeting our requirements and providing useful information about the house and the area. Despite arriving late at night we found the house no problem and Harriet, the local contact had been good enough to get in a few essential supplies to keep us going until the following morining. The house had pleanty of sleeping accommodation for the 8 of us and the catering facilities in teh kitchen were first class.
In the morning a 10 min walk into Ogeu to the local supermarket and boulangerie sorted out breakfast and other necessary supplies.
The house was clean and well mainatained and had ample parking facilities, certainly more than enough for 8 motorcycles. Unfortunately the pool was being filled after some essential repairs on our arrival but after a couple of days it was back in use albeit slightly chilly. After a couple of days of heating the temperature was perfect.
The house proved a great base for touring the Pyrenees with some fantastic mountain roads for we sportsbike enthusiasts. From Ogeu it took us about 20 mins to get into the mountains and once you start making your way up the various Colls the scenery is breathtaking. We found Ogeu to be very quiet and couldn't find either of the restaurants but, then again we didn't look particularly hard! Outwith the mountains we found time to visit Pau, Lourdes and Oleron all of which were worth a visit. We rode to La Mongie to visit the mountain top observatory but unfortunately had to abandon our trip up the cable car due to extremely bad weather and poor visibility.
So the house proved perfect for us and we would certainly recommend it as a base for anyone planning on doing touring or sight seeing in the area.
