"Simon
and Paulette get it just right, offering a warm welcome, help and advice in a
very friendly and un-fussy way. The kids absolutely loved the pool!" -

"Un
accueil très chaleureux, simplicité et conviavilté sont les
mots qui conviennent à notre sens pour décrire le séjour
que nous avons passé à Le Prielle. Des aménagés avec
beaucoup de gout, félicitations pour le travail de rénovation effectué.
Nous avons apprécié le calme paisible et la beauté du site,
d'autant plus que le soleil était de la partie. Vraiment merci pour tout,
nous communiquerons sans hésitation votre adresse!" - Estelle,

"We
had a wonderful time in your gite. You were delightful hosts: Friendly, helpful
but never intrusive. And what beautiful surroundings. You've done wonders in turning
the ancient old barn into first class comfortable accommodation. The kids loved
the pool, and what a sight to see it illuminated at night, under the stars. We
had such fun cycling around the local villages, not to mention the wine tasting.
Thank you again for a lovely holiday. Best Wishes." - Phil Jones and Katherine,

"I
stayed at the gites near Madiran for a week in September, running a walking week
in the Pyrenees for 18 folk. We had a great time, with marvellous weather in the
hills. Whilst a bit far from the big mountains, it did give us a selection of
valleys to explore and there were also plenty of local, more gentle, walks. Le
Priellé provided an ideal base for those who wanted to walk and those who
chose just to chill out locally or by the pool. The gites were well equipped and
comfortable. Our hosts, Simon and Paulette were available without being intrusive.
They organised a really entertaining wine tasting evening with a local wine maker
and cooked us a superb dinner, catering for special dietary needs with consideration.
I have no hesitation in recommending the area and the gites for a family or activity
holiday and would certainly return." - Les Wilkinson & Friends. September
