Ceux qui aiment la nature

We had an amazing peaceful breakaway on our return trip from Spain. The views were outstanding. Tom was a great host, and the kids enjoyed sitting around the fire listening to him play his guitar and eating smores. The house had a rustic, homely charm, with everything we needed. The kids especially loved Moses the dog and Lisa the cat. We would definitely love to return, maybe on a 'working holiday' to support Tom in his vision.

Situated in a beautiful secluded place overlooking the valley. Tom chooses to live in harmony with nature and this is reflected in everything around the property. We had a very relaxing stay and look forward to returning to stay for longer.

We booked Tom's place as a quiet retreat for our family (2 adults, 3 teenagers). It was a wonderful stay. The winding road takes you up the mountainside to this quiet home with views in both directions. We stayed in the spring (late March) when the grass was green but the leaves were not yet on the trees. The weather was pleasant, and the homes unique fireplace kept us warm on the crisp evenings. The place was perfect for our family, with one bedroom for the parents and another for the teens. The teens even had a separate fireplace that we used on two of evenings. The hot shower was very refreshing, and we utilized the jacuzzi tub on one occasion. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed cookware for us to cook dinner there for one of the evenings, and we had a lovely dinner in Saint-Girons (25 min) for another evening. We enjoyed day trips to Foix, Grotte du Mas d-Azil, Alus-les-Bains and especially enjoyed the local markets on Friday and Saturday mornings. Tom was a very kind host who did everything he could to make our stay comfortable. If you're looking for luxury accommodations in the hustle and bustle of the city, this is not the place for you. But if you want a rustic, charming, comfortable and affordable place away from it all, yet within driving distance of the local sites, we recommend Gite Bruychous.

The three of us had a great stay at Tom's place. Situated on a mountain, the gîte is perfect to wind down and enjoy beautiful Ariège. Hunker down around a cozy fire or enjoy your dinner watching the sun set. Explore the natural surroundings, visit towns and check out markets with great local produce. Tom himself is a perfect host who strikes a great balance between privacy, sociability and attentiveness. An extra perk for us were Mozes and Lisa (dog and cat). Hopefully we will have the opportunity to return. Highly recommended.

Wir haben 14 Tage in dem sehr athmosphärischen Haus verbracht. Jeden Tag gab es Neues zu entdecken.Und das alte Bauernhaus passt wunderbar in seine Umgebung. Ein Lob vor allem auch an den Vermieter, der sehr fürsorglich und dabei nicht aufdringlich war. Kurz: Wir haben uns zwei Wochen pudelwohl gefühlt! Danke, Tom!!!

Charmante petite maison au milieu de la nature, avec tout ce qu’il faut pour se détendre. Une cuisine fonctionnelle et un jacuzzi. Pour les plus frileux la maison est chauffé uniquement par un poêle et une cheminée, un pull n’est donc pas de trop. Dans le calme des bruits de la campagne, on s’y perd dans le temps, et le jardin nous fait se sentir bien. Tom est tres chaleureux et aime faire découvrir son univers ainsi que ses animaux très sociables. Il y a pas mal de randonnées à faire pas loin. Et pour finir la journée en beauté on peut admirer sur la table de pique nique le couché de soleil.

Des soirées au coin du feu, des bulles dans le jacuzzi, 2 ânes sympas , une chienne toute douce, une maison qui a une longue histoire ... un très bel endroit d où partir en balade et loin des routes et bruits... bref un endroit très chouette pour des vacances en famille, entre copains ou en amoureux. Et pour les artistes musiciens, un hôte positif et agréable qui a eu la bonne idée d aménager un espace plein d instruments de musique !! Nous recommandons vraiment!

Vielen Dank, Tom! Wir haben uns hier in den Bergen, abseits von der Hektik des Alltags, sauwohl gefühlt. Die Esel und Hühner haben dieses Gefühl noch verstärkt. Tom war ein unaufdringlicher und fürsorglicher Gastgeber. Wenn man die 4km lange Strecke und die mehr als 300 Höhenmeter überwunden hat, trifft man auf ein wunderschönes Grundstück. Das Haus ist mit allem was man braucht eingerichtet, besonders erwähnen möchten wir den Gasherd und den Kamin. Auch in einem Jaccuzi kann man sich nach langen Wanderungen gut erholen. Fazit: Wir kommen wieder.
