About this house rental
The house is set in a small village (Doazon), right on the edge of a fantastic lake, where its possible to fish or take a leisurely walk around. You truly understand the words 'relax and unwind' when you are sitting on the terrace looking out over the lake with the Pyrenees in the background.
Its a spacious house, spread over 3 levels. There are 6 bedrooms easily accommodating 10 to 12 people, as well as 6 bathrooms (4 being en-suites). There is a large dining area and two lounges. The games room is located close by in a separate barn with a table tennis table and electronic darts. There are many other games stored here including; badminton, swing ball, boules.
There are spacious grounds for all ages to enjoy. The multi purpose court caters for tennis, basket ball and football. The outdoor chess set, beside the heated pool and overlooking the lake, is also ideal for all ages.
The new kitchen is well equipped with cooker, dish washer, fridges, freezer, coffee machine, microwave, toaster, kettle and many pots / pans.
Outside there is a terrace, overlooking the pool, chess set and the lake with steps leading down to the pool. There are many sun lounges and tables located around the pool area to relax and enjoy. There is a separate covered barbecue pergola for fabulous alfresco entertaining. The tasteful lighting provides an ideal setting to enjoy the long summer evenings.

We booked this wonderful house way back in December 2017; Yvonne, the owner, rang to check that we had the correct year for the booking! Over the months until our departure, we all imagined ourselves sitting around that large table outside overlooking the lake, sipping on a wine and watching the sunset. And we devoured the photos on the website - so many dreams. We were not disappointed;; nine friends from Canberra, Australia had the most wonderful holiday here. Yvonne has not overlooked one thing to make this a HomeAway from home -- from the well-equipped kitchen and butler's pantry, to the oh so comfortable beds and fine linen, to the modern en suite bathrooms, and the little decorative surprises around every corner -- perfect for groups or families. From the time of booking right through to our departure, Yvonne and her property managers, Liz and Ashley, were an absolute pleasure, with all our questions answered promptly. There is plenty of space to unwind and relax, whether as a group or individually, and the gardens just add to the ambience of this gem of a house by the lake. Artix is only a short drive away where we found a very friendly butcher and a delicious patisserie, plus the supermarket stocks everything you could need or want, including some very nice wines. And the Saturday markets at Arthez de Bearn are well worth a visit for a couple of very large, fresh chickens. We loved our holiday in the house by the lake; the memories of this idyll will stay with us forever. Thank you Yvonne, Liz and Ashley.

During a hectic few months travelling around Europe, we met up with some Australian friends at this beautiful chateau. It was a lovely place to enjoy French living, explore the neighbouring areas (Toulouse, Lourdes, the Pyrenees and San Sebastian quite easy day trips) and just relax and unwind and enjoy the amenities of the property itself. The house was well presented and clean; booking and check in was simple and the one time we needed a question answered, the housekeepers were quick to respond and obliging.
Would thoroughly recommend this property to groups of friends or large family groups wanting to experience life in the French country.

We stayed at the Lake House as part of a reunion of a large group of friends. The house was ideal given the large number bedrooms (many with en suites) and the extensive facilities. We made good use of the tennis court, swimming pool and giant chess set. Catering for our large group was easy and we made good use of the BBQ and outdoor eating area. Views over the lake were a bonus. The owner, Yvonne, was exceptionally responsive and helpful. Although we were very happy just staying at the house, Yvonne made excellent suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants in the area.
Although everything was in order it was comforting to know that the local caretaker Ashley and his wife were close by to assist.

This vacation property ticks every box you could imagine. We highly recommend it to anyone with a group that just want that south of France luxurious vacation. It’s close to pau and the Pyrenees and house home is beautifully decorated with a stocked spice cupboard and the most comfy beds you’ll ever experience. The views the gardens it’s all there! Thankyou Yvonne and Rod for sharing your lovely property!
