The Grant family, Nethy Bridge, Scotland July 14th

And.. Thank you! We have had a brilliant time. Thank you! from the girls.


Thank you very much for all your kind attention to our comfort and for equipping “le Pichet”so well. We have very much enjoyed our week here discovering a part of France we haven’t visited before. It is beautiful countyside and this has been an excellent base. I am sure we will return to the area. We have appreciated your advice and recommendations.

Liz, Phil, Sion and Ally Wade, Portsmouth 18th Aug.

Fiona, Thomas, Clara Percy and Sybil London, April 14th


A brief one-night stay but what a night!

A spectacular drive up, beautiful sunset, warm fire and hospitality, and a truly restful sleep. Our family's adventures through France continue, but thank you so much Eleri for being part of them. Onwards!

Best, Philip, Lynne, Luke, Noel and Ivor, Canada, 12 May

PS Rodney's work is stunning.


My 5th stay and once more it again seems to even surpass the previous holidays in every way.Fantastic hospitality, views, weather, advice and assistance and the most perfect home away from home. Only downside, as always, is having to leave again!

Thanks heaps Eleri Rodney and William! I am already looking forward to my 6th stay!

Love, Marjoline, the Hague 26th May.


The Pyrenees for the first time. Two beautiful days, eating al fresco.

Many thanks Leslie and Ian Kilgour, Australia 10th June.

Geeta CharlesTim Sophie and Jess London Aug 12th


Thank you Eleri and Rodney for alovely stay at “ le Pichet”. We have loved this area, the majestic mountains and crystal clear waters. Explored some amazing places (though some of the mountain roads are “scary”)! Favourite routes: to Etang de Soulcem, up to Guzet, Col d'Agnes and Etang de L'Hers.

Visited Foix Chateau and the TreeTrail (accrobranch)at Belesta, called Crapahut Adventure Park-well worth a visit.The thunderstorms were pretty spectacular too!

Thank you for your kinness and amazing hospitality

Lynne, Andy, Hannah and Ruth Creek. Reigate. Aug 26th


Well, what can I say! Our second visit to the Pichet and probably our last-because we love Miramont and the area so much that we have bought a house just up the road!!

Thank you so much Eleri and Rodney and William for your help, advice and encouragement, your translation skills, and, as ever, your kindness and generosity.

We will soon be neighbours! Jan and Vince Cooper, Potters Bar, Sept 15th


A perfect spot for a week of rest and relaxationwith almost perfect weather. There is probably a beautiful walk for every day of the year. Thank you!

Roger and Christine Romney Marsh 23rd Sept


Lovely 6 days of peace and quiet.Lots of great mountain walks- some of them more challenging than expected! But lashings of hot water and oodles of firewood made for perfect homecomings.

Thanks Eleri For all the advice and support, especially with the flat tyre, and hope to see you again

Thank you so much for wandering the Pyrenees and settling here so we could come and visit. We have had a lovely week-your advice on walks was great-and on places to visit. We have really enjoyed your company too- a great bonus.

Fiona and Brian Collins Milton Keynes 4th June


We've been here for a fortnight and I could easily stay for another. Such a beautiful, secret place high up in this forest. Walking superb, and there are more to explore! Thank you Eleri and William for your fantastic hospitality.

Liz, Tom, Roger and Rosie, Dean's Marsh, Australia 20th June


Dear Eleri and William,

What a wonderful three weeks we've had at “le Pichet”! Your hospitality is unparalleled- thank you for all the wonderful suggestions for cycling routes, walks, restaurants and markets.We feel as if we have still only seen a fraction of what your beautiful Ariege has to offer. Do come and visit us in Carmel (California) And Will- come and ski in our Sierra Nevada!

Fondly, Wendy and Tom July 22nd

Dear Eleri,

We have had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for your warm and generous welcome. The week passed too quickly- you have a lovely place! Merci!

Jenny, Bernard, Felix and Theo, New York City Aug 12th


Dear Eleri,

We really enjoyed our stay and had just the week we were hoping for. It's a really captivating location which we could have relaxed in for the whole time- if the children had allowed it! We did the walks recommended for children by the Tourist Office- “Randos P'tites Jambes”;the Tourist Office marked the start and end for us on the map which was very handy- Cirque de Cagataille was probably the best 9all about 1h 30 walking slowly!) perfect for small children and easy to follow(all signed). Lots of picnic spots. LOVED the kayak club (exciting, never done this before!). Anyway GREAT fun- thank you!

Dan and Sarah, London 21st Aug.


Merci Eleri pour votre accueil chaleureux, vos cadeaux,vos attentions et votre gentillesse. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette region magnifique, jouissant du calme, d'une vue splendide et nous avonsprofité avec beaucoup de plaisir de la terrasse et dujardin.

Avec tous nos remerciement aussipour vos bons conseils de randonnée!

Le bonjour a William,

Jos et Nicole, Pays Bas 31 aout.


Dear Eleri

Thank you so much for having us!

We had beautiful weather every day- a nice break from English rain. We went on lots of lovely walks in the mountainsand we're very sorry to say goodbye to Miramont's cat! What a gorgeous, idyllic location for our holiday break.

Kind regards, Fiona, Tim, Chloe and Dominic. Salisbury UK 31st Oct

Un grand, grand merci pour votre accueil si genereux! Nous avons bien apprédié tous vos cadeaux, vos attentions et les decorations de la maison. Ce gite  est tres beau et chaleureux, et l’environnement aussi. Apres de grandes belles balades et glissades en luge dans la neige, la chaleur du poele était bienvenue. Merci aussi pour tout le bois.

 Tout cela a été un cadre ideale pour nos vacances. Un seul regret: ne pas vous avoir rencontré pour échanger et vous remercier en directe. Merci a Cathy pour l’accueil et toutes les  informations

Tiffany Coiffard, le 2 jan 2015

 We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Le Pichet”, in ths gorgeous area of the Pyrenees. Highlights of our visit include the waterfall ( Cascade d'Ars) which was breathtaking! Beware muddy trails and wild boar however! Eleri and Rodney were so knowledgeable of the whole area that there was never a need to visit the Tourist Information.We have only scratched the surface- a bientot!                                                                                                                                                                    Wynnie, Kitty, Danny, Mich and Nick,  20th June

 Thank you for a great stay. Le Pichet is a wonderful place to spend the holidays and thanks also for your best recommendations.          Jutta and  Kai Hartmann, 18 th July.

 Merci Eleri pour votre accueil et la qualité de votre gite..Nous avons passé une excellente semaine, et nous vous souhaitons une tres continuation.Au plaisir, bien cordialement,

                                                                                                                                                                                                             Catherine et Dominique  25th July.

The cottage is beautiful and functional, the surroundings incredible, but it was the hostess who made the stay exceptional. Thank you so much Eleri for going the extra mile in ensuring our short stay at Le Pichet was such a memorable one. If we are ever to return to the Pyrenees, Le Pichet will certainly be our first port of call.

                                                                                                                                                                                                             Abbie and Paul, August29th.

Thank you so much, Eleri and Rodney, for a fantastic week in “Le Pichet”. When we arrived, we were welcomed like old  friends – and we really hope that the friendship made will last, especially as we have our Hertfordshire link.Thank you for your generosity, your suggestions of places to visit so we could make the most of our short time here. The scenery is amazing, the local people are very friendly- we are sad to leave.We hope William is accepted in the Lycee of his choice, and that Fern, and the cat, won't miss us too much!

Best wishes to you all,   Jan and Vince  Cooper,September

 Thank you so much for a perfect holiday! Le Pichet is a beautiful retreat and your generosity and advice of places to visit made for a relaxing break. It was a real pleasure to meet you all and get to know a little of your French home. Loved the cake too (and the flowers!). Do know you will be welcomed to our home in Scotland if you're planning a visit. Hope to meet again at some point, meanwhile thank you again.                                                                                                                                                       Graham and Jenny, September

 Grand merci pour votre accueil, si génereux, gentil, tres agréable. C'est un endroit reposant, calme et d'une beauté......Ce gite est tres chaleureux, on se sent si pres d'un feu a bois. Je pars avec regret, je reviendrai car vous etes tres sympatique, je suis ravie de vous avoir rencontrés. Avec tous mes remerciements, votre region est magnifique,

A huge thank you to Eleri, Rodney, William and  the beautiful Fern. Staying at “Le Pichet” has been the perfect start to our honeymoon. The mountains are stunning and the weather has been beautiful. Thank you so much for taking us ski-ing and helping us with our language barriers. Also a massive thank you to William for looking after Nick on the slopes and getting some great video footage.We received such a warm welcome and were made to feel very much at home here- we could not have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful stay. Our time has gone too fast- so now we are off (wishing we could smuggle Fern away with us too!) Thank you so much.

                                                                                                                                                                                                   Emily and Nick (Mr and Mrs Ross) 20th March 

Thank you very much  Eleri,  William and Fern for the nice time in this charming house. We will come back with better weather! Best wishes,

Fini le petit sejour sympa “au Pichet”. Nous avons apprécié votre hospitalité et celle de Cathy. Votre gite est agreeable et a l’image de la montagne. Merci pour la decoration de Noel et le “libre service” pour la cheminée.  Lorsque nous arrivons nous sommes aussi accueillis par les statues de Rodney.

Bref, nous repartons plus reposes et bientot nous rejoindrons notre quotidien.

Le Chateau de Mirabat veille sur vous! Bonne reprise scolaire pour William et tenez-nous au courant pour savoir si Rodney a été choisi pour le projet de l’hopital.

Bonne continuation a vous trois et si vous venez chez nous du cote de la “Ville Rose”, n’hesitez  pas a a passer…..

Notre sejour fut excellent- nous avons pu profiter de la quietude des lieux, avons apprécié des randonnées,et avons sympathise avec deux chats de l’hameau.Encore merci.

                                                                          Michele et Christian, 3 aout 

Thank you for a lovely stay at “le Pichet”. We particularly enjoyed the view from the garden, the climbing roses and beautiful sculpture, paintings and embroidery everywhere. Also, your wonderful selection of interesting books. Our son read “Mountains of the Mind” whilst here as a complement to a couple of mountain walks. Sadly there has been rain and low cloud coverage so we haven’t quite had the views when walking as hoped.

We did a lovely lower level walk at Cominac through woodland and loved the wild flowers and butterflies. Our youngest  really enjoyed white water rafting with his cousins  at  Seix – as I did! Lots of fun.

We loved St. Lizier- a gem of a town if you like Romanesque architecture ( with remnants of wall painting). We saw it in late afternoon in soft light and without any crowds.

Thank you Eleri and Rodney for your time in giving us such useful and good information for our short stay here. You have been enthusiastic and extremely helpful, especially in helping us find and book a gite at the last minute for my brother’s family at Cominac. It has been a very successful holiday.

                                                              Wendy and Eddie  and family,  8th Aug.    

Merci Eleri et William, vous nous accueillis comme des amis chez vous dans votre beau pays des Pyrenées!

Virginie et Angélo,  12 Octobre 

Quelle belle idée nos enfonts ont eu pour nous reserver un weekend dans votre si jolie maison.

2012

Rodney, Eleri, William (+ Fern),

Thank you for a wonderful week. From the moment we arrived it felt lie home(Without the hills though!).Le Pichet is a wonderful base from which to explore this fantastic part of France.Thank you again for all the advice on where to walk- it was invaluable.William- don’t forget to invest wisely when you find that small envelope of gold!

  All the best,                                           Malcolm and Rachel, W.Sussex, September.

 

Thank you to Eleri and Rodney for a wonderful start to our honeymoon, we only wish we could stay a bit longer!  We felt so at home in the cottage and the location and weather have been perfect. I have slightly sore legs after the walk up to the Chateau du Mirabat but it was worth it for the views.

Thanks again for making us feel so welcome and I hope we’ll be back here soon!

                                                               Maxine and Kris, Gloucestershire, September.

 

Dear Eleri William and Rodney,

Thank you very much for a lovely stay. We have really enjoyed being here, your help and valuable advice about walks, local points of interest, driving directions and so much more. We loved the place and the mountains, and our dog will probably miss Fern even more than the Pyrenees.

                                                              Michel and Saka, Leigh on Sea, June.

                   

Had the most wonderful week here in Miramont. We received the warmest of welcomes and felt completely at home straight away. The scenery was breathtaking and our hosts are so familiar with the surroundings that we never had any need to visit a Tourist Information office, the best is right here in Miramont! Thanks so much, and ‘till next time.

                                                                  Marjoline et Jan, the Hague April .

 

Dear Eleri, Rodney and William,

Thank you for all your help during our stay. You had great ideas on what to see and do, that way we could make the most of our stay. We felt very welcome. In bad weather we had the lovely open fire to enjoy our books (so cosy!) and when the sun shone we went for lovely walks in the mountains. The GR10 has such spectacular views! Thanks for the maps. We had a great time and will certainly be back to enjoy the lovely lunches in the garden overlooking the valley.

See you next year.                   

                                                                                       Kate Napier, Utrecht,  May


Eleri Rodney et Will,

Super vakantie gehad. Prachtige ongeuing om te fietsen.

This next is from a client who came with a view to improving his English:

Many thanks, Eleri Rodney and William. During this week I discovered the pioneers of the new Europe,  you and your English friends. Now I can master “Walked” and “Worked”(pronounced t not ed)…..and I hope to meet you again with my family, in Barousse, in England and especially in Wales (the north, of course). Au revoir and a bientot.

Arnauld.

2010

A place to forget all your worries. My second visit, and it is even lovelier than before, having also visited more of he surroundings. Amazing how close the majestic peaks on the Spanish border are, and how breathtaking! I am  already looking forward to my next visit!

                                                              Marjoline,  Holland May 2010

The mountains elusive and mist-wreathed (but their ‘absence was as their presence: (R.S.Thomas). Roses and aquilegia, columbine in our rooms. Silence punctuated by a single distant clonking cow-bell. All this our point of departure –and return-for excursions to the pulverising Cascade d’Ars and the lac de Bethmale, teeming with snapping minnows, and the Col de la Core; for a visit to William’s Ecole primaire in Oust (William’s dictum of the week: ”No-one is pleased to be taught!” as opposed that is, to finding out for oneself.;) and for raids on local patisseries, charcuteries and caves du vin. So we can scarcely believe we’ve only been here for four nights, in this charming gite (we’ll spread the word in England about the gite and painting courses), side by side with friends. Floreat Aula!

                        Linda and  Kevin Crossley-Holland, Burnham Market. June 2010.                                            

 Le Pichet is the perfect place to escape from London life. We have taken photos of sunsets at night and mists in the morning. We have visited Lourdes, Carcassonne and Rennes le Chateau, with many beautiful places in between. So much to come back for.St. Girons market was wonderful. So much delicious fresh food. We will also not forget the various patisseries we have sampled!

Thank you Eleri for being so fantastic. A most gracious hostess. We would love to return here.

                                                              Micheline, Bob and Ben Short. London 2010

 L’Ariege, departement méconnu,est un départment qui nous suspend a chaque vallée. Nous l’avons découvert et l’aimons. Le soleil nous a un peu boudé mais la beauté des sites visités a su nou le faire oublier Les gens de cette region sont, nous semble-t-il, d’une rare gentillesse- nous reviendrons en Ariege.Merci a notre hotesse pour ses conseils de visite que nous avons suivis.Bonne visite a tous.

The warmest of welcomes, most charming of cottages, and most beautiful surroundings! The only “problem” is the leaving, one would want to stay on indefinitely. Thanks Eleri, Rodney and William for all your care, help and hospitality, hope to be back soon.
