💬 Recent Reviews:
"The Escala Gîte is our favorite getaway – incredible cycling, spacious & peaceful, with a stunning pool and hot tub. A true Pyrenees paradise!"

"The Escala Gite is one of our favourite destinations and we continue to come back each year during May, both for group cycling holidays, and more recently in June for a family holiday with our young children. Over the years we have seen the Farmhouse occupancy grow as further extensions have been developed, allowing us to host cycling groups. Due to the expansive layout of the gite, multiple living areas and generous numbers of toilets and bathrooms, the place never feels crowded at all, everyone has plenty of personal space, as well as the opportunity to socialise.
Graham is a fantastic host and nothing is too much of an ask for him. He is great to communicate with, speaking both English and French.

The gite is a great getaway from the world - its rustic charm is authentic and quirky. We’re looking forward to returning next year already!"

The BEST getaway

I cannot put into words how good our time in Escala was. Graham was absolutely incredible as a host, and the house is impeccable. It’s a perfect getaway for friends and family, in the most scenic picturesque location. The house has everything: a pool, jacuzzi, plenty of common areas, a second house!! It’s honestly one of the best places we have rented as a group, and hope that many others get to experience the place the way we did. Thank you Graham for a marvelous stay!

A lovely house in the most incredible setting.

We were a family party of 6, ranging from 9 to 71. We all enjoyed it for different reasons. The kids (young & old) loved the games room & pool. The adults were very content to sit outside admiring the view and the local produce, with occasional dips in the pool and the hot tub. It isn't the smartest venue but it doesn't pretend to be; it is immensely charming and the décor doesn't matter when the view is as stunning as it is. Graham couldn't have been a better host: charming, helpful, flexible and funny. I would recommend this for any gathering of friends and/or family who want a place that they can completely relax

Pyrenees paradise - we keep coming back!

The Escala Gite is one of our favourite destinations and we continue to come back each year during May, both for group cycling holidays, and more recently in June for a family holiday with our young children. Over the years we have seen the Farmhouse occupancy grow as further extensions have been developed, allowing us to host cycling groups of 24 guests (with extra capacity still available). Due to the expansive layout of the gite, multiple living areas and generous numbers of toilets and bathrooms, the place never feels crowded at all, everyone has plenty of personal space, as well as the opportunity to socialise The gite has two independent fully functional kitchens which can comfortably seat 30+ guests during the cooler evenings, however during the warmer evenings dining outside with the view of the mountains is far preferred! The gite’s location is absolutely perfect for cyclists, with easy and direct access to number of famous valleys. The base of Col d’Aspin is only a 23km valley ride from the gite, Hourquette is 28km and the major climbs of St Lary only 36kms. Alternatively Luchon and its famous climbs is only a 50km valley ride away. The hardest decision we have each day is trying to decide which legendary Col to cycle! After a long day of riding, both the outdoor pool and hot tub are very welcoming! There are also a number of running and walking trails in the area in stunning surroundings with beautiful scenery. If you’d prefer to have a more relaxing break, Edenvik thermal spa is only a 15 minute drive away and the golf course is only 5mins. The site is easily accessible from the A64, and while Lannemezan is only a 5 min drive (to all major supermarkets), the gites location is very private and secluded, with only the odd vehicle or tractor passing the lane it is situated on. Our two young children love visiting the site - there is so much for them to do both onsite form playing outside, in the pool, in the games area or walking through he nearby fields to the local village - it is children’s paradise and very safe haven. The local Demi Lune park is a must visit for anyone with children! Graham is a fantastic host and nothing is too much of an ask for him. He is great to communicate with, speaking both English and French. The gite is a great getaway from the world - it’s rustic charm is authentic and quirky. We’re looking forward to returning next year already!

Beautiful location with stunning views

We were there to ride our bikes so the location and facilities were perfect,we've stayed before so no surprises and it’s quite rustic and quirky which I like. If you are Cycling or doing outside activities this is perfect , if you like things a bit sparkly and dainty then probably not for you. Big bedrooms good kitchen facilities, plenty of showers and toilets and loads of comfy seating . Great outside space for the good weather. Really nice swimming pool and hot tub for post cycling. One thing Graham needs to fix is the Wi-fi which is only just better than dial up...and certainly can’t cope with multiple occupancy.not good enough for the modern needs and you would expect this for a premium priced property.

A great house in a great location, we had 18 adults and 3 children and plenty of room.

We stayed in Sept 17', a group of 18 friends with 3 children. The house was ideal for our group, had everything we needed and was in a great location. We could walk through quiet roads to the nearest town, or it was a 5 minute drive to a supermarket. Thoroughly recommended.

Great base for a large group

We held our wedding nearby and wanted somewhere for our guests to all stay together. This was the perfect place as offered plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoor space for our friends. Although I did not stay here personally all our friends loved it and have asked when we are going again! The outdoor area with pool and hot tub was perfect during the hot weather with fantastic views of the mountains. Some of the rooms could perhaps do with a little TLC but it certainly had the rustic French charm we were looking for. Graham was lovely to deal with and was very helpful throughout the booking process. A lot of information was provided about the property itself and the surrounding area which was all very useful. All in all we are so pleased we found this place and will no doubt be back again with our friends, perhaps for our 1st anniversary?!

Un gite parfait pour groupe !

Nous étions un groupe de 20 amis en retrouvailles, et ce gite est absolument parfait pour les groupes ! Nous avons loué le gite principal + "l'annexe", idéal pour permettre un endroit plus calme pour les personnes avec enfants. Il y a quelques ballades sympathiques accessibles à pied, et on peut facilement s'enfoncer dans les montagnes pour aller chercher de belles randonnées ou du ski. De plus, de nombreux commerces sont à proximité ainsi qu'une gare TER, très pratique pour la logistique ! Le gite est spacieux et bien équipé (appareils à raclette, jacuzzi, billard, ping pong, vaisselle en général) et la vue est sublime !! Les draps avaient été préparés avec soin avant notre arrivée. De nombreuses salle de bains, plusieurs salons et cuisines... encore une fois très pratique pour les groupes ! Le propriétaire Graham est très réactif et arrangeant, les échanges sont simples, fluides et agréables pour toute demande d'information. Bref, le séjour s'est très bien déroulé !! Je recommande ce gite pour tout séjour de groupe dans les environs et encore un grand merci à Graham et aux personnes qui l'aident pour tous les préparatifs. Nous gardons cette adresse en tête pour nos prochains passages !

Concernant la maison, assez rustique, elle peut accueillir un grand groupe qui souhaite la simplicité. N'oubliez pas d'apporter vos jeux aussi.
