but what a night! I wish we could have stayed longer. Very comfortable beds, fantastic breakfast, pleasant host. Great dogs, too. We took advantage of having dinner there as well - the best dinner of our trip!

An interesting house with a nice pool to laze by and gardens to stroll in plus an interesting menagerie of domestic animals in the paddock. Jonathon gave us a warm welcome and insight in what to see and where to eat in the surrounding area. He speaks perfect English and good French. We enjoyed visiting Salies de Bearne (a pretty... More

This would have to be the best B&B my wife and I have stayed at. The hosts were extraordinarily friendly and we not only were spoilt rotten but made some great friends. The setting in Araux is beautiful and there is a great selection of restaurants and things to do in the area. Would highly recommend and don't forget to... More

A fabulous place to stay in this tiny village in a splendid region. Jon Siviter and his lovely family will welcome you and for sure make your stay unforgettable.

Immediately, upon arrival, I was instantly warmed by the family's approachable and hospitable nature. It is a wonderful setting with tastefully decorated bedrooms accompanied with literature galore. It has an exuberant feel with two lovely, well mannered daughters and a whole menagerie of animaux. A visit to the pig is a must! In all, a delightful stay with warm hospitality,... More

There are likely to be, somewhere, more attentive hosts than the Siviters, but it is also likely that you will have to travel far and wide to find them.
