    Dear Paula & Rob,
    We had a wonderful holiday with you. The house is very complete and everything is there. The children really enjoyed the space, the toys and the pool. And thank you very much for the great tips, including where we can get the best wine, we are still enjoying it!
    An absolute must for families!

    We hebben bij la bigorre een geweldige vakantie gehad. Rob en Paula zijn fantastische mensen die je altijd willen helpen met wat je maar nodig hebt. We waren erg blij dat ze zelfs met een grote ovenschaal aankwamen uit hun eigen keuken toen deze ontbrak in het huisje. Ook voor de kinderen was het geweldig, want er is ontzettend veel te doen bij het huis. Aan speelgoed echt geen gebrek! Ook voor elke leeftijd is er wel een fiets te vinden, en ook fietsen met een zitje achterop. Er is verder niet heel veel in de directe omgeving te beleven, maar op iets meer afstand kan je wel leuke dingen vinden om te doen.
    Dat maakt wel dat het een heerlijk rustige omgeving is, en de sterrenhemel in de avond is echt fantastisch mooi!
    Dank jullie hartelijk voor onze heerlijke vacantion, Rob en Paula :)
