David and Monica were at the house to meet us and were very friendly and helpful. The house itself was wonderful — big, beautiful and full of character, with lovely features and also a warm and homely feel. It also had a high-tech cinema/DVD and kitchen which was fun, and a lovely and secluded garden.
Biarritz is a few kilometres in one direction and the pretty village of Bidart slightly closer in the other direction, so easy enough to cycle (though there's no cycle path) or even walk. A bus stops almost outside, and there's a small market in a camp site just over the road. The nearest beach is a ten minute walk away, and has good sand and plenty of Biarritz waves.
Our family of six had a lovely time and would love to stay there again.
