It is well-equipped and has many original features, beamed ceilings, antique furniture and comfortable fireside seating. It is set at the end of a farm lane. The setting is secluded but not isolated. It's only 20 min. to the A64 autoroute (Pau & Toulouse airports about 1 hr.). The front garden is south-facing and bordered by mature trees and shrubs.
