Step-free access to common areas.
Internal doorways are approx 82cm width so (only just) wheelchair-friendly.

Floors on ground floor are mainly original terracotta tiles and can be a little bit uneven. The staircase to first floor is rather steep and is not wheelchair accessible; the elderly and infirm may be uncomfortable using this staircase.

Lovely
L’Airial is a lovely house in the forest, down a long dusty track. There are walks to the river through the woods from your doorstep. Moustey is a small village with a good local shop and an excellent restaurant La Haut-Landais (definitely recommend)
If you are looking for a peaceful remote holiday then it’s definitely for you. What could be better than good food, drinks, sunshine and relaxing by the pool with family and friends.

Excellent stay at L'Airial
Great location for a chill out weekend but lots of opportunity for walking if one feels the need for exercise. The house is very well equipped to cater for large groups and an ideal location for dogs.

I wish I could have stayed longer!
We had such a wonderful time at L'Arial Moustey! It was so comfortable and cozy during my stay. The bed was excellent and the shower was divine. My dogs and I went on long walks in the surrounding nature and then curled up in front of the fire when the rain started. The internet was fast so I could watch videos but I mostly enjoyed the lovely living room area where we could sit and chat and read. The kitchen was fully equipped which is saying a lot because I love to cook and am very picky. Due to the rain, we didn't get to use the pool but I can imagine on a hot summer's day that this is a little corner of paradise. We will definitely be back!

Villa in the forest : good value for money
We were lucky to stay at L' Aerial and enjoy long walks in the forest surrounding the property and niche wine evenings by the fireplace. I wish we can come again on the summer to enjoy the pool and eating and cooking outdoors.
The place is very well manteined wilth a stylish kitchen
It has a huge garden and swimming options the close by river as well as canoing and horses in the neighbouring properties.
Only can be reached by car what made us feel as if staying in a really off the beaten track .
All that space , garden and house, I think makes it a really good value for money place, as can accommodate up to 14 people

Maravillosa estancia
En el mes de diciembre 21, pasamos unos dÃas en esta maravillosa estancia. La casa es impresionante, con unas habitaciones amplias, cómodas y muy limpias.
Nigel, el propietario, una excelente persona, con un trato exquisito.
El entorno es muy bonito y tranquilo, la casa está rodeada de un extenso bosque, donde caminar se convierte en una actividad muy relajante.
Sin duda un magnifico lugar donde pasar unos dÃas de relajados y conociendo todo el entorno del lugar.
