What a find!!!!
If you want peace and tranquillity this is for you! The wildlife was just fantastic, watching the swifts give such a display by the pool, and a very close display of kites and buzzards as the farmer was cutting the grass - just incredible. Most mornings we saw the dear/s in the lower fields. And of course the little bat that decided he would sleep under the wooden terrace during the day. The farmhouse is set in a lovely rural location with spectacular 180 ° views, so wonderful we shared our early morning coffee with them. I am going to miss that first hour so much. The farmhouse is rustic with typical Bearnaise features. Pre supper drinks outside were the order of the day, even when watching the 360° storms. Phillip and his daughter were so helpful, although they live in the adjoining house were not intrusive. They were on hand at all times, should we have needed anything. They really were great hosts, and very respectful of our privacy. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Georgina was brilliant, and came to the rescue when I was picking roses and the wasps decided to sting me. We were invited to partake of the fruits growing in the garden and the herbs on the terrace. This was wonderful for me as I like to cook & bake. I picked the ‘small wild yellow plums’ to bring home for jam making 😊. I will bring a pot back for you next year. Thank you all for making our stay comfortable, easy and so very very relaxing.

Full of Rustic Charm - beautiful part of France
We had an extremely relaxing two weeks at this farm house. The bedding was clean and fresh and there was plenty of space for our family of five. The pool was fabulous and our 6 year old son particularly loved it - the pool is deep but once he got his confidence, he was trying to dive in the deep end! The walks locally were fab but you have to be a fan of steep hills! We also enjoyed the use of the pool table. The farmhouse is rustic with typically Bearnaise features. The outdoor areas were great for relaxing with a glass of wine... or two of an evening. Our son made friends with Mittens (later known as ChitChat) the cat who liked to come and say hello... especially at meal times!! The wildlife - deer and a range of birds, in particular birds of prey, were in abundance. The views of the Pyranees are quite something. The farmhouse is away from it all but it is worth trying the local auberges. Excellent food at great prices. We also visited Chateau de Morlanne, Arthez, Orthez and Pau which were very nice. The hosts were great, nothing was too much trouble - Phil had a bit of an accident and the rest of the family came together to make sure we were ok in his absence! We hope you have a speedy recovery. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and easy.

Could be 5 stars, if it was given a thorough cleaning.
This house has fantastic potential. Set in a lovely rural location, there are gorgeous views from the front and side of the property. However, St. Medard is really only a hamlet, and the nearest village is 20 mins drive but if you're looking for peace and tranquillity, you will not be disappointed. The house itself is large and very well-equipped. We had ample room for our large family (2 adults, 5 teenagers and 2 children), with 4 good sized bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, as well as a toilet. One small point worth mentioning though is that the mezzanine area above one of the bedrooms is not available, as the ladders had been removed, which the owners stated was due to safety concerns. This was not a problem though as we still had plenty of space and Kirsty offered us additional bedding if necessary. All bed linen was clean and fresh and there were plenty of towels for showering as well as use by the pool. There is a large pool outside which we had for our private use. The pool was clean and well-maintained and when there was a problem with the pool, Philip fixed it immediately. The one negative comment is that when we arrived the house was filthy. Although Kirsty claimed that people had stayed there recently, the house was really musty, with cobwebs and dust everywhere. There were small brown pellets under the sofas and in the bathrooms, which Kirsty claimed were wood lice, but were in fact some kind of animal droppings. When we arrived, the dishwasher was full of mouldy dishes and we had to clean all the dishes we were intending to use beforehand. We spent the first day buying cleaning products, air freshness and making the house habitable. All of that said, Kirsty and Philip are a lovely couple and although they live in the adjoining house, they respected our privacy and were not at all intrusive. Kirsty was very helpful, with directions to the nearest shops and suggestions for various activities. My best advice to Philip and Kirsty is to get professional cleaners in to thoroughly clean the property and this could be an absolute goldmine. If the issue of cleanliness was sorted, I would happily give this property 5 stars.

About the host

Hosted by Phillip and Liza Deighton

Host profile image
France has been our permanent home since 1998 although we purchased the property a few years earlier, holidays were spent restoring the house and barns. With the addition of the 12mX5m swimming pool and terraces, it provided a totally relaxing place for our family, Our 2 children now grown up and moved away; both children went to French school and are totally fluent. However our Labradors only speak English.

Why they chose this property

Amazing landscape, deep in the beautiful french countryside. With the hot summer days and the mild winter months. The 18th century property is set in 50 acres of grazing land and woodlands with an abundance of wild deer, with the birdlife and night skies an amazin sight to be seen. The farmhouse is of béarnaise design, constructed of handmade tiles and cobbles from the local river. The tops of the pyrenees mountains can be seen from the house, garden and terrace, all year round. Beyond the mountains is Spain around 1.5hours drive.

What makes this property unique

Situated in acres of farm and woodlands, in an idilic setting, with paranamic views across the beautiful french countryside. Secluded but not isolated, totally private garden and terrace.
We are very well placed to reach large towns such as Pau and Orthez has all amenities you may need, also locally are some beautiful traditional french villages, all unique in their own way.
