“What a great place!”

Reviewed 27 Jun 2022

We had two amazing weeks at Domaine Tournesol. The Gite is comfortable, bright and airy and is in excellent order. Kay & Neil have ensured that everything is to a high standard and that nothing has been missed. The grounds and gardens were a dream, with both sunny and shady locations, and the pool was always inviting - especially as we had a couple of extraordinary 40C+ days! Our hosts, always discrete, were friendly, kind and helpful and couldn't do more to make our stay as relaxed and enjoyable as it could be. Having holidayed in France for more than 25 years' we can honestly say that our Domaine Tournesol experience is up there with the very best and we would love to revisit some time..........

Response from the owner Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us and for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to see you all again here at Domaine Tournesol. We make a point of updating the gîte and outside areas each year and it is good to know that you, as returning guests, notice and appreciate this. On a personal level we really do value your loyalty and over the past three years we have thoroughly enjoyed your company. Kay and I hope to see you once again in future, but in the meantime enjoy the last of the summer sunshine in the UK and we wish you all the very best for the future. Kindest regards.

“Absolutely fantastic”

Reviewed 21 Jul 2019

We stayed as a family of four (2 grown up children) for a week at the end of July. We have never stayed anywhere that was so clean and welcoming. Neil stayed up to greet us, even though we were much later at arriving than we planned due to a problem with the ferry. They had supplied a lovely welcome pack that included a smashing bottle of the local wine (to be recommended) and was especially handy as all of the shops were shut on the Sunday. We would recommend a glass of something cool whilst sitting in a bar on the promenade in Pau and a trip (even in the car) to the top of the Tourmalet, the views are stunning. All in all, it was really hard to drag ourselves away and we hope to revisit soon.
