Our cat is getting elderly and spends most of her time in the conservatory including at night, but does like to be indoors if the weather is bad, and also for some company. The pots and veg. garden need watering twice a week and lawn cutting once a week, depending on the weather. Post box will need emptying and we would like to be notified of any bills that come in.

Massillargues-Attuech, France - November 2021

Nous avons passé 7 semaines à Lagarde chez Liz et Martin. Un séjour que nous n'allons pas oublier de sitôt! L'accueil a été formidable : nous nous sommes sentis tout de suite chez nous, en confiance. Liz et Martin ont pris le temps de tout nous expliquer avant de partir. La maison est idéalement située, avec une vue magnifique sur la forêt et à deux pas des Pyrénées. La voie verte est en bas de la maison, pour relier Tréziers ou Camon. C'est top! Poppy est un chat très très facile à garder. Après une grosse semaine de prise de contact prudente, elle nous a définitivement adoptés! Nous ne pouvons que vous recommander chaudement la maison de Liz et Martin! On reviendra avec plaisir!

Düsseldorf, Germany - September 2021

The hosts helped me to feel welcome and at home straight away and had tried to think of everything I might need for my stay, They gave good explanations of how the house works and what was needed and there we also written instructions. The house is low maintenance, practical and comfortable. It was enjoyable to live there in the calm atmosphere, surrounded by nature, the views are amazing and I never got tired of the beautiful sunrises and seeing the tops of the Pyrenees far away. The neighbours are friendly but not intrusive. It’s a beautiful area with lots of nice places close by to explore by walking or driving. Poppy is a lovely cat to look after- gentle, happy and independent. She can be timorous or distrustful at first contact but becomes a very good companion with time.
