Very knowledgeable about the area and accomm options. Very responsive and easy booking process / good pre-departure pack.
Product reviews
Better than expected given it was only 3 star! Would definitely recommend paying the supplement for the lake view cottages as these have much better views and most importantly more privacy. Pool are

Thanks for your feedback. Delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Cottages du Lac. It works really well for young families in particular. True, Biscarrosse Bourg has nothing special to offer but the combination of lake and ocean at Biscarrosse Plage is certainly special. Also, Parentis village is a handy option for a meal out and daily shopping.

We spent more time in Parentis than Biscarosse. Biscarosse itself does not have much to offer, I would head to Biscarosse Plage instead or Parentis, which is smaller and had more of a French villagey

Good advice on what would suit our family and requirements
Product reviews
We had a lac view cabin - definitely worth paying for; much more privacy. Great to be able to stroll a few yards to the lake side beach, playground and nearby restaurant which also has a small shop.

Never done that before - simply repeating an accommodation and holiday destination. Proof that it could not be beat!
Been coming to the area every no and then for 20 years. A total gem! Only wish it could remain more of a secret...

Company helpful and booking info comprehensive.

Loved the domes and glamping. Evening entertainment on the camp site a bit noisy for small children as only commenced at 8.30.
Loved the area - mountains in the morning and beach in the afternoon!

Very straight forward to book a property and prompt reply to any queries. I found the whole process of finding holiday accommodation stress free.

Lovely spacious house, with pool which was great for my 11year old and 16 year old daughters. The owners had provided lots of information on how to use kitchen equipment and local amenities, which was

The beach at Messanges was a little disappointing as the safe area to swim was limited and really crowded. The beach itself was lovely and sandy but due to the dangerous undercurrents no one could sw

The accommodation (2 bed apt) was a bit of a squeeze for four. It was well kitted out and in good condition, though we were disappointed to be looking over a building site!
That said, our kids thoug

Hi & thanks for your feedback. The Biscarrosse area is definitely about the beach, lakes and forests rather than being a cultural hot-spot! Nearby, the Bay of Arcachon is a culinary gem though...

Disappointing choice of restaurants & culture. Sadly while we ate well in the dordogne & honfleur, we didn't strike gold at any of the places we tried in the area. Maybe we were just unlucky, but ther

Thanks for your feedback. Good to read that you enjoyed your stay. The Biscarrosse area is definitely about the beach, lakes and outdoor activities rather than culture. For that we recommend day-trips to the Bay of Arcachon, Bordeaux and further south to the Basque Country - plenty of options!

Great website - very helpful property details and the booking process was straightforward. All communications were efficient and we felt personally treated.

Great property. Ideal for our family and exactly as described.
Perfect for Francophiles! The village of Saubrigues was very rural and we felt thoroughly integrated into the French way of life. Not touristy at all but within easy reach of great beaches, lovely tow

The house is very nice and the welcome and help from Jane Sully excellent.
The house is really in the foothills of the Pyrenees and it takes sometime to get to the mountains.
