The house was lovely and as described. Spacious and well equipped. Very accommodating for our toddler.

I'll start with the good points. The house is nice and spacious and is in a great location for exploring the Pyrenees. If you are looking for a house and are not bothered about a swimming pool then maybe this is the place for you. However, we booked this property with the impression that there was a swimming pool. We were well aware it wasn't going to be a big pool and knew that it was only 3 metres in diameter but we expected to have the pool that is on the photos. When we got there we found what could only be described as a paddling pool and a completely different pool than in the picture. It is an inflatable paddling pool where the water only reached below our knees. How can it be described as a swimming pool when not even my 2 year old could swim in it. So instead we had to make use of the public swimming pool and pay into that. To conclude it is a nice house but we would have never booked it if the actual pool was in the pictures which is why I feel I need to give it two stars. We booked it to teach our son to swim which is why we were so disappointed. We did complain to the owner via text when we arrived but she just advised us to use the public pool. When we left she waived the electricity fee as we weren't happy which was good and returned the deposit and then a week later text us to say we didn't leave it clean which we definitely did which I thought was strange as why tell us this a week later and after returning the deposit.

Spacious house which was just as well with 4 adults , 3 children and 1 baby. superb views from the terrace. Quite a nice town which is easily accessible once you work out the short route past the church. loved the shutters as i prefer a completely dark room for sleeping and also stopped the temp rising too high during the day.garden was ok for the boys to kick a ball about . very little traffic ever goes by .a nice enjoyable stay in an area i have visited several times before.

This house is in a quiet location, but not too far from the centre of Vernet Les Bains - restaurant Le Cortal is very close and serves excellent food. The town centre has several good bakeries, bars, a small grocery store and a regular market. There is also a good supermarket on the edge of town. The house is in a traditional French style ( I love the shutters!) and a contemporary interior, and has both shady areas and sunny spots in the surrounding gardens. There is a terrace which has sun all day and is a lovely spot to watch the sunset with the swifts swooping overhead, glass of wine in hand... The house has all the amenities you need; as we were hiking each day (and got a bit wet and muddy) I made good use of the washing machine. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of glasses, decent saucepans, etc, On the downside some of the garden furniture was a little tired but adequate. As someone who enjoys cooking I would also have loved to see some herbs growing in the garden. As a couple, we found the house ideal and I think it would also suit a family or two couples. The booking process, direct with the owner, was very easy and straightforward, and good value. This was our second visit to Vernet les Bains; there's plenty to do in the area. The hiking trails are excellent and mostly well marked, with a variety of challenging and easy walks. There is a wealth of history and places to visit in the area; from the town's Spa heritage, to nearby abbeys, le petit train jaune and Les Canalettes caves. Overall a lovely spot!

A spacious property for our family of 5. Lovely views all around to mountains and hills. We kept time with the view of the church clock in the old town. On quiet residential street where we enjoyed nosing at people's veg plots. In the best part of Vernet because only 5 mins to buy bread in one direction but right on the doorstep of excellent walks into the mountains. Did one nearly every day and never got tired of the view. Favourite was the 45 min walk (with kids) to Filols over the hill for une pression and ice cream and a walk back. Kitchen stocked adequately; English DVDs and books. Not the comfiest double bed in the world and the TV room needed a better clean. But these are small gripes compared to the positives.

We had a great two weeks at this house. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed meals on the terrace with wonderful mountain views. The children loved the garden and pool and we spent lots of sunny afternoons at the outdoor village pool too. This is a great location to explore the hilltop villages, forts, mountains and gorges. The coast is accessible, as is northern Spain. Vernet is a charming village with a great restaurant and some good cafes, together with a market in the village square.
