Les Hauts Pâturages - Heavenly Hideaway, Heavenly Hideaway in the Pyrénées

Reconnect with nature & discover our heavenly hideaway exclusive-use country estate and farmhouse.

Set in 30 acres of pasture and forest with heated swimming pool (summer), discover our magical mountain air & glorious views over the snow capped Pyrénées.

From impulsive long weekends,  summer holidays to inspired Christmas escapes; create perfect memories to cherish for a lifetime.

25 mins from an international airport and 20 mins from TGV getting here is a dream.

The space:
Set on the crest of à Pyrenean foothill with views all around, explore our 30 acres of pasture and forest. The land stretches away below the pool and has been planted (around 50 years ago) with superb walnut and chestnut trees, spend time discovering our three family-family colour-coded walks.

The kids:
Happy children make great holidays!  Watch the children explore our woodland play area enjoying the freedom to play and discover new skills. Share a family game of table tennis, badminton and football. Pack up a picnic and take one of our nature trails spending quality family time together.

Relax around the Pool:
Make the most of the summer sun and enjoy a dip in the heated swimming pool or take a book and lounge on the decking enjoying the peace and tranquility that surround you as birds chirp in the trees.

Discover and Explore:
To exercise legs and pump the heart, explore our 30 acres of woodland and forest.  Discover waterfalls,  deserted barns, deer trails, wild flower galore.
Breathe our magical mountain air listen to the bird song and reconnect with nature.

The Fire pit:
Gather around the fire-pit and watch the sun set over the mountains whilst cooking your supper over the open fire.

Surrounded by trees and twinkling lights this is perfect ending to day spent in our heavenly hideaway.

Le Gite:
The house was built in the traditional 'Bigourdane' style of the region dating from 1632 and was a Bishops Residence until early 1900's with the tiny church next door still in occasional use.  Sleeps 14 people plus we have cots for 2 babies in spacious and flexible accommodation particularly suitable for extended family gatherings or groups of friends celebrating a special event.

Modern decor and appliances provide a comfy cosy experience while traditional French touches such as oak beams, wood floors, antiques wood-burning stoves maintain the character of the house.

With plenty of space for big groups to spread out across the house; 2 kitchens, 2 staircases, a grand salon, large dinning area and second kitchen/family room. 2 TV's along with books and games guests can always find a cosy corner to relax in.

Charm and calm as you climb one of the two staircases. Upstairs is a geometric colossus of oak and sloping ceilings, many rooms have wonderful views of the mountains. Spacious bedrooms offer guests the perfect night's sleep. All the bedrooms are equally charming, with boutique white bed linen dressed according to the season. There is bed on the on the landing at the top of the stairs. Most of the bathrooms are en-suite and are supplied with hand, bath and pool towels and essential toiletries.

Guest access:
There is a separate car park with parking for 8 cars. It is the first turning after the blue gates signposted "Le Parking" Guests can park their cars once they have unloaded their luggage. This ensures that children can play and explore in safety. .

Wonderful stay!
Our extended family group of 12 people stayed for five days in early September. We had a wonderful time. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. The setting is idyllic with beautiful views of the surrounding hills and mountains. Lots of great outdoor activities for the kids, and great proximity to Lourdes, to spectacular mountain drives, and to some great hiking. We would definitely return!

Stunning location - utterly tranquil, beautiful scenery
The postives - Susan and Doug are lovely hosts; the location is jaw-droppingly beautiful, lovely the views from the garden; very peaceful and absolutely silent at night, great to unwind. Lovely pool area, table tennis, badminton, benches to sit on to read and take in the view. Beds comfy, nice linen and towells. Lots of space, grass, trees. Not quite 5 stars as we believed from the descriptions in the website and HomeAway that there were two bedrooms in the downstairs suite, so we had a few issues agreeing who was going to sleep where across our two families holidaying together - less of an issue probably if travelling with younger children (ours 14-18). The dodgy wifi and poor mobile coverage was a little frustrating but I guess that's rural France. Be aware also if you're planning where to stay that the wonderfully peaceful location also means it's quite a drive in either direction to nearest towns/routes down into the Pyrenees, so what you think is a morning's activity basically takes all day! Having said that, we wanted to turn around and come straight back!!

Très agréable séjour dans une propriété très belle
Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances chez Doug et Susan. Non seulement les propriétaires sont très accueillants (Ils sont d’excellents cuisiniers—nous recommandons la table d’hôtes), mais ils sont aussi très intéressants; Doug est un musicien, et il a joué de la guitare (il chante très bien!) pour nous un soir, au coin d’un feu. La maison est très jolie, la piscine très agréable, et le jardin, génial pour les enfants (avec des balançoires, un parcours spécial...), avec une vue imprenable sur les collines et montagnes. De plus, il y a de jolis sentiers (créés par Doug!) qui partent de la maison. Pour toutes ces raisons, nous recommandons ce logement avec engouement et espérons y retourner!

Perfect stay :-)
Es war ein toller Urlaub und die Vermieter sehr herzlich und nett! Jederzeit gerne wieder! Es ist sehr ruhig gelegen, daher ist der Supermarkt/die Bäckerei weiter entfernt - etwa 15/20 Minuten mit dem Auto (auf zum Teil sehr schmalen Straßen). Die Ruhe ist andererseits aber auch einfach genial! Das sollte einem vorher bewusst sein. Die Vermieter bieten allerdings Frühstück an - so dass es doch einen Weg zu frischen Croissants gibt ;-). Wir haben das allerdings selber nicht getestet. Dafür haben wir am letzten Abend die Paella mit Tapas vorneweg und genialem Dessert hinterher getestet im Rahmen des "Table d'hôte" - sehr lecker und absolut empfehlenswert!

Fantastisch
Wir haben uns in diesem schönen, alten Haus sofort wohl gefühlt. Susan und Doug sind tolle Gastgeber, hilfsbereit und geben gerne Auskunft und gute Tipps. Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet, mit ausreichend gut ausgestatteten Badezimmern. Ebenso die Küche, man kann sich bestens selbst verpflegen. Gute Parkplatzmöglichkeit, grosse Gartenanlage. Die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Die Zufahrt auf den eher engen, gewundenen Strassen kann ein wenig abenteuerlich sein. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, Danke Susan, Doug und Familie.
