Anyone with a penchant for cycling and a taste for home cooked food need look no further for the ultimate break!

Julie and Lee's place is a great starting point for so many varied rides, be it a 20 mile blast or a 60 mile tour of the mountains. And you needn't worry about guidance, as Julie and Lee provide route cards to make sure you get the most out of every outing.

The food was delightful - I've just received J & L's recipe for their cracking Paella which we ate on Saturday night. The portions were an ideal size (huge) to replenish the spent calories from cycling! It was genuinely some of the best food I have ever eaten.

It's nice to see so many positive comments in this guest book, and hardly a surprise either - it seems we're not the only advocates!

We'll return soon to crack some of the other Col's....

Lee & Julie go above and beyond other establishments that I've stayed in - highly recommended.

Cheers, Vince

Just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for one of the best holidays we have been on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you both, nothing seemed to much trouble and the food and chat were first class.

I'm missing having you around to make my evening dinners! The run in the mountains was probably the highlight of the weekend for me followed by the banana cake! I have passed your details to as many people as I can think of with the highest of recommendations to visit you.

With very best wishes.

4 days of hospitality and wonderful food - matched only by the height of the mountains.

We shall return !

Dear Lee and Julie,

What a week! Waking up to a big breakfast, followed by a quick morning run through some little French towns, then some lunch and a walk to a lake, a tough hills session at altitude in the evening, finished off with a big home cooked meal shared with the other guests (even catering for me, a vegetarian) - I couldn't have asked for more than that.

Your advice on trails was much appreciated and those laminated A4 maps a great idea.

I've already smashed one of my PB's since arriving home.

I'll let you know when I get that Aus champs 1500m qualifier!

Hope to see you again one day
Cheers

My ten days with you in Las Graves was all I hoped it would be. As a cyclist of advanced years, the Tour Cols were a definite challenge, but with Lee's careful advice and maps I had a superb time, increasing the challenge gradually and taking my time at record slow paces! The country around is so varied and beautiful: forests, rivers, deep valleys, high mountains, superb views and the road conditions ideal for safe, quiet and smooth cycling. There's a lot of interesting history and architecture around also.

Add the high standard in accommodation and food, with endless variation in the courses, and the visit was ideal. The alfresco meals long into the evening were perfect ends to strenuous days. The journey by plane and train was also easy & uncomplicated, and you were so very helpful with the transportation nearby.

Thanks for a really memorable time, Julie and Lee. I'll be back.

First rate location and hospitality.

Welcoming and calm atmosphere; very impressive evening meals - local food prepared with great care.

Best wishes, Tom

Out of our party of 3, only 1 was a cyclist. However, I can offer hope to non-cyclists 'tagging along'.

The accommodation was fantastic (clean / stylish / peaceful) and thanks to Julie and Lee's travel tips we had a great two weeks seeing what the area had to offer, while our cyclist rode up and down the Cols. I can personally recommend the Vaporium at Luchon, the local cheeses, the markets in and around the area and last but definitely not least the top class food that was laid on!

Thank you for all your help and although I never want to see the Col de Peyresourde again (even from a car!) I would certainly pay a return visit to your establishment.

Best of luck for the future

Great week, fantastic accommodation, great food especially the puddings!! So sorry to leave because there was still so much to be explored.

Thanks to Lee and Julie for being the perfect hosts and guides. And thanks for all your sound advice.

See you next year.

Fantastic location, beautiful accommodation and wonderful hosts. Nothing else to add except that we all had a fantastic time and are looking forward to our return.

The hospitality was second to none: great place, amazing scram and first class support. Many thanks for an awesome weeks cycling both on and off road.

Our legs are still hurting!
Can't wait till next year.
