La Conciergerie (cottage)
Home descriptionThis pretty Conciergerie, near to the Chateau, resembles a doll's house with its own private garden filled with roses and many other flowering shrubs with gravelled patio and parking. The picturesque River Saison (grade I for trout and salmon fishing) is just a 2 minute woodland walk through the grounds - an ideal tranquil spot for reading, sketching or even going for a cooling dip! The whole property is very light and airy with lovely period floor-to-ceiling windows which are complemented by colourful Basque fabrics and filled with country and wicker furniture. A charming wooden staircase leads to the 2 small double bedrooms (with their original chestnut floorboards) and shower room with loo which has been completely modernised. An ideal escape for couples/honeymooners.

It was originally a fortified Chateau, controlling access across the River Saison from Navarre into Aquitaine. Owing to the magnificent Pyrenees due south, there is wonderful walking in the undulating green foothills dotted with lakes and rivers which are a haven for migatory birds and wild flora. For the skiing enthusiast in winter, several skiing resorts have recently been upgraded - Gourette and Pierrre St Martin (approx. 75 kms). The renowned surfing beaches stretching along the Atlantic coast are only approx 55 kms. and the more sophisticated shops, restaurants and lively cafes can be found at Biarritz, St Jean de Luz and Bayonne. For the more adventurous, the Spanish border is only 45 mins by car, San Sebastien 2 hours and Pamplona 2 1/2 hours reached by a scenic drive over the Pyrenees.
