A few of our reviews

A stunning house and gardens

This home and its gardens have been designed beautifully (the photos don't do the property and surrounding countryside justice really). A huge group of close friends and kids spent a very special week here - we swam in the fabulous long pool, cooked splendid meals in the spacious, practical and tastefully kitted-out kitchen, ate in the outdoor BBQ area most nights, as well as watching the sun set on the bench at the end of the lavender path - before stargazing. The children (aged between 3 and 12) swam, played ping pong, tennis, and went on the secret swing - and as parents it was great knowing they were completely safe in the grounds. Sometimes the children would watch a film in the evening.The nearest supermarket is in Aurignac, about 10 mins drive away - it's a ramshackle and charming small town. Some of us went to Lourdes 90 mins away, others drove to the Pyrenees, about an hour away. The area where the house is located is non-touristy, peaceful and very beautiful. We had an amazing week here and would definitely recommend it

An amazing place, a beautiful, relaxing retreat with space ,stunning views and fantastic facilities

Thank you for the absolutely wonderful week we spent in your beautiful house.We all loved the place and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my 60th birthday. We had family and friends from the UK, Italy, Spain and Germany , they have all have taken the details so expect more bookings as a result! Everything surpassed our expectations, the beauty of the house and its' surroundings, the attention to detail, the comfort and cleanliness and the relaxed tranquility and peaceful atmosphere.The huge kitchen is so well equipped that catering for a large group was easy and a fun part of the holiday. All the bedrooms are clean and comfortable with linen provided. The quiet areas around the lovely gardens and pool were well used when people wanted a bit of peace and quiet just to sit and soak up the sun and the beautiful views.Fantastic! 

A characterful and well equipped house with plenty of space for a large family group

We spent a week at Chateau Benque with our children, their partners and our six grandchildren (ages 11 down to 20 mths). The house is beautiful and extremely comfortable and as it is quite a distance from neighbouring properties we were never worried about disturbing the locals - six children can make a lot of noise when they are splashing around in the pool. The older children enjoyed the chance to develop their tennis skills and the hall table was a great place to settle down to a quiet game of Newmarket or to try one of the games the owners have provided, when the adults were too tired to do anything else. We would all love to holiday at Chatequ Benque again. One week was not long enough to enjoy what the area has to offer but we would highly recommend the Museum of Prehistory and its rock shelter in Aurignac. The owner was extremely helpful

Beautiful place, perfect for our two families. Very comfortable, had lots of fun with tennis, pool

This was our second visit to this special place, secluded and peaceful. A perfect spot for relaxation during the day, enjoying the spectacular views, playing tennis, swimming, sunbathing, reading in the shade. The rooms are beautiful and there was plenty of room for our two large families to spread out or all meet up together in the cosy kitchen or outside space for meals and fun. It is really well equipped for catering for large numbers. Thank you! 

Absolutely Fabulous

We danced and danced in your kitchen.We had dinner in the setting sun by the pool.We had lilo races (both adults and children)and we played tennis and drank gin and tonics by the court.What can I say that hasn't already been said. 12 people had the most marvelous time, in the most beautiful of surroundings, in the most fabulous house, with the most dear of our friends and family.Thank you for letting us share your home

Fantastic

We have just returned home from the most amazing fortnight at Chateaux Benque. I have never had holiday blues like it! We are missing everything about the place, the beautiful garden, the bushes of lavender, the view, the perfectly situated pool, I even took up tennis again. It is a lovely house in the most stunning surroundings, we are planning our next visit already. Thank you Brigid for making it all so perfect.
