If your choice is to stay here, you are in for a real treat. It’s clearly a home that’s been looked after and the standard of accommodation is high. A lovely welcome basket of treats, coffee, tea and wine was waiting, also as we had a dog, treats for her too! It’s a spacious house, with all the amenities and appliances you would need, set in a lovely big garden, outside dining area and an excellent pool to enjoy. Location is ideal to explore by car, nice walks on the doorstep and a nearby river to paddle and ideal of your dog loves water. Lots of restaurants /cafe in nearby Salies de Bearn, nice shops and as it’s known for its thermal water, a visit to the Thermal pool is really enjoyable. Comminucation/ directions from the owners, Debbie and Richard was excellent before we arrived. Definitely would return to this home and we would highly recommend it. Thank you

Thank you for your review. We're glad you had an enjoyable holiday.
There were seven of us staying at Maison Mailhes and everyone enjoyed themselves enormously. The pool is a great addition and in the heat it was used most of the time. The kitchen and all the facilities (TV had english channels) were in good order plus the amount of space in the property was well appreciated. The bakery within walking distance was really useful as it had roast chickens and other goodies on sundays as well as daily croissants. The three children had a whale of a time as well. Debbie the owner helped us out enormously with driving instructions, maps and so on to help us get there plus there is plentiful information in the property about the local area and the wider environs. We would recommend the abbeye d'sorde (10mins drive) for its amazing views and underground cavern.
We arrived just when the very hot weather had broken – a mix of weather but always good enough for some pleasant time in the pool. Long trips not considered because of the 2 & 3 year old but Salies-de-Béarn is a very pretty town with a good market on a Thursday. The Salt Museum was interesting for the adults but only the outside part – diggers moving salt etc – interested the two and three year old. The pool at the thermal spa is very good with lots of jets to massage aching joints. Treatments need 3 week advance booking at this time of year. There was a fête at the beginning of our stay with a piperade competition, bouncy castle. The kids liked "le petit train." Sauveterre-de-Béarn is a lovely town for a wander and a visit to a café. The patisserie there is very good – wonderful tarte aux pommes! The caves at Isturitz are beautiful. We could only book a French tour and she spoke too fast for me to follow much – the children were still impressed! A beautiful area of France. We went to Le plage de la Milady near Biarritz. which was very pleasant and good for children.. The wine from the caves Lapeyre was very good. the local boulangerie is excellent. The children’s swimming came on leaps and bounds. Two meals and also take away pizzas from Chez Camy – a lovely auberge. A good lunch at restaurant L’Escale across the bridge. A wonderful holiday in a delightful, comfortable, very well equipped house - lots of space to cook, eat and laze around. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay enjoying the comforts of a lovely home in a picturesque village. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and ventured down to the river for swim most evenings. Lots of places to visit and things to do from fun and vibrant towns to trips down the river by canoe, to trains up into the mountains. Perfect!
This lovely house is perfect for a large family holiday. It is situated in a small village which unlike many others has a thriving restaurant/ bar/ cafe, a bakery and a pharmacy. A short walk or bike ride takes you to the riverside where you can swim, the countryside is perfect for cycling and walking and there are lovely small French towns in every direction. Spain is less than an hour away as is the Atlantic coast- there are so many things to do! That said, you will find it hard to tear yourself away from the beautiful pool which is perfectly situated in full view of the outside eating area. The bedrooms are spacious, there are plenty of bathrooms and the kitchen is fantastic with plenty of room for a family of 12 to dine. It is extremely well equipped, not only with good quality china for dining but also with unbreakable crockery for picnicking or for use by the pool. My husband used the small study to work and there is a lounge should you ever have time to watch the television!.There is a large garden for the children to play in and a shed to store games and bikes. The owners are highly responsive and keen to ensure that you have a problem-free stay.
