Welcome to our 4 star rated Béarnaise country house with large colourful garden near to the bustling small market town of Navarrenx, ideal for fun-packed family holidays. La Conciergerie was originally the gate house for the chateau in the small village of Méritein. It stands in the grounds of the chateau, but is now a seperate family holiday home. It has three spacious bedrooms that can comfortably sleep up to six adults with cots available for toddlers and babies.Here you have the best of both worlds, as the house is situated in a typically quiet french village, but is only a ten minute walk to Navarrenx, where you'll find several bars, some with live music, restaurants, antique shops, art gallery artisanal markets, cycle hire, boulangeries, charcuteries and banks. There are tennis courts, a large outdoor swimming pool and petanque area.Every year Navarrenx hosts the 'World Champion Salmon Fishing' competition in the magnificent river, the 'Gave d'Oloron' where you can also try canoeing, rafting and kayaking. If you prefer walking or cycling there are hundreds of kilometres of quiet roads to do both, or cycle off-road on the well marked forest routes. Horse riding and hot air ballooning are available locally too.The house has been completely renovated. It is light and spacious with exposed old oak beams throughout, in keeping with the Béarnaise style. Where possible we have presered the original features of which there are many.
Upstairs:
In all the 3 bedrooms the comfortable beds all have new mattresses, quality linens and summer duvets. Extra blankets and throws are available during winter months and there are radiators in all of the rooms. All the bedrooms have windows with views, the rear bedroom overlooks our beautiful rambling gardens and neighbouring chateau grounds. The two front bedrooms overlooking the pretty village of Méritein.
Shower room:
The walk-in shower room has a large modern shower system, spotlights, tiling throughout and a unique pebble floor created from local stone. It also has a heated towel rail, modern washbasin and W.C.
Downstairs:
The Kitchen is large and traditional and as you would expect in France, the heart of the house. It has fitted cupboards, white ceramic 'Butler' sink and family-sized double gas oven with gas hob. There is a fridge and plenty of worksurfaces to create delicious meals.The large fireplace houses a wood burning 'Godin' stove and has all the tools to light and tend the fire. There is a dry wood store in the garden. A grand farm table which easily accommodates 6 people sits in the centre of the room with chairs for all. A comprehensive selection of crockery, cutlery, and glassware for 6 people is provided. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils, cookware and tools that an enthusiastic cook requires. It also includes extra items such as a microwave, 'Senseo' coffee machine, food processor, liquidiser and pasta machine.
Utility Room:
In the separate utility room which leads onto the terrace and garden, there is a washing machine, dishwasher, sink and fridge-freezer. An ironing board, laundry basket and other laundry items are also provided. Next to the kitchen is the downstairs cloakroom with W.C. and washbasin.
Lounge:
With double french doors, the lounge is the room to relax in, with a view of the outside terrace and the garden beyond. It has a 3 seater sofa and two arm chairs, TV, DVD and music system/CD player. There is a large sideboard and bookcase with plenty of guide books and information about the area, books and games to keep you busy. There is another woodburning stove in here should you wish to use it.The Garden and Terrace:
This house used to be the gatehouse to the chateau next door and we are able to observe and enjoy the wildlife of the chateau grounds with red squirrels, deer, birds and other wildlife daily visitors to our garden.
