Chambre d'hotes Les Estives

This B&B is nicely located just outside (2 min) the village of Lescun. It has a beautiful view of the valley and its majestic mountains. There is car park just outside the door, the rooms are very clean, large and nicely decorated. There is a small kitchen and a sofa corner for the guests. You can take your breakfast either in your room or the small kitchen or downstairs in the owners' appartment. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. The owner cooks cakes or similar delights each morning! She is friendly, helpful but does not speak english. She told us about the life in the valley in old times when we were looking old photos, which was interesting. The negatives review are based on misunderstanding of her personality. We will like to come back and enjoy the delicious breakfast. We recommend, without an hesitation, this B&B. There is short driving distance to several outstanding hiking trips.

Lescun is a beautiful valley (we chose to stay there and hike since it is considered one of the most beautiful valleys in France). Les Estives is nicely decorated, very quiet, and in a nice location just a 5 minute walk from the very pretty stone town. However, the owner was never very welcoming to us. When we arrived at 2 P.M., she basically scolded us for being too early, even though her e-mail said we could arrive after 2. She also refused to speak any English with us, even though her e-mail had said that her English was not very good. Therefore, we spoke French the whole time. The dinner she served for us (she refused to serve us dinner the last 2 nights since we had not reserved those dates beforehand) was very good, although she kept a tv on and basicallly stared at us. We both know some French but were not prepared to speak no English at all. She lent us a good guidebook for hiking. The last morning, she basically ignored us and served her French guests. I was never offered my usual tea, and we had to remind her to bring us some yogurt. The breakfasts are very basic- only tea or coffee, yogurt, toast, and some baked good. Since we couldn't have dinner at the b&b for two nights, we tried the only restaurant in town, Les Bergers, which was not very good at all. So, we relied on the small food store (closed mid-afternoon) to eat dinners of cheese, bread, and wine in the kitchen area. We wish that her sister, who was very nice, had run the b&b. Oh, well. I can't recommend this place unless you are fluent in French and can tolerate an owner who just doesn't seem well-suited for her job. Do visit the Lescun area for the scenery and hiking, though (you can pick up a good hiking book in the food store). Don't try to bring a large car into the town, though, with its very narrow streets.

I booked this B & B by email for my husband & myself and two friends of ours.||||Rooms were clean & good & location was good but Madame was not there when we arrived and we hung around and had a drink until she did arrive.||||I thought it was just us & being British however we did speak good French for absolutly no result with Madame.||||Average breakfast but we would not stay again

Ne manquait que la piscine pour se rafraîchir sous cette chaleur. Denise est très sympathique et nous a bien accueilli. Sa grande maison est confortable et décorée avec goût. Un super lieu pour se retrouver en famille.

Excellente adresse, le gîte est situé au coeur du cirque de Lescun, au calme avec  une vue magnifique sur le cirque. |Les chambres sont très confortables et vraiment très propres, les petits déjeuners hyper copieux et succulents avec des produits locaux et fait maison. Nous remercions chaleureusement Denise, pour sa grande gentillesse, sa générosité et son authenticité. En plus d'être un hôte très attentionnée toujours aux petits soins de ses clients, c'est une très belle personne qui nous a touchés par ses qualités humaines. Native de Lescun avec une excellente connaissance des lieux, passionnée de nature et de randonnées, Denise nous a bien aidé dans le choix de nos randonnées. |

Superbe adresse Denise est une personne de bons conseils. Petits déjeuners super copieux. Literie très confortable. La vue depuis la chambre est grandiose. Magnifique adresse pour découvrir la région. Rien ne manque pour réussir le séjour

Nous sommes enchantés de notre séjour. La vue est spectaculaire sur le cirque de Lescun et les aiguilles d'Ansabère. La maison et la chambre sont calmes et confortables, décorées avec goût, toujours impeccables. La qualité du séjour doit aussi beaucoup à la gentillesse de Suzanne Lestremau, à ses gâteaux chaque jour différents, à nos petites conversations au petit déjeuner ou en fin de journée, au retour des randonnées. Les Estives est l'endroit idéal pour se détendre et regarder les étoiles filantes.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Denise, nous étions dans la région pour un trail, Denise a été aux petits soins pour nous, elle s'est levée à 4h du matin pour nous préparer le petit déjeuner, nous n'avions jamais vu ça !! Elle est également sportive, c'est très agréable de pouvoir discuter randonnée ou course||La maison est superbe, les chambres parfaites, la literie extrêmement confortable, le petit déjeuner très copieux et délicieux||Il y a également une cuisine à disposition.||Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir pour profiter de cette magnifique région.||Merci encore Denise !
