A wonderful base to explore Pay Basque. It's only a few minutes walk from sandy Corsaires beach; a surfers paradise. St John de Luz is only a 20 min drive should you want a more conventional town resort with calmer waters for swimming. Withing reach by car are also canyoning (Laruns) and white water rafting (Gave river). Natalie was extremely communicative and waited several hours for us after getting stuck in traffic on arrival at the France/Spain border. I would recommend.
