1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Being out on the trail all day enjoying the stunning scenery of the Spanish Pyrenees and being rewarded at the end of it with a fabulous dinner prepared by our hosts and mostly grown by them too. Perfect.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Ask Simon to take you 'up the hill' to pick chanterelles for lunch.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, employed local guides.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Beautiful house, great location and hospitality. Our hosts Simon and Lucy went the extra mile to ensure the holiday lived up to expectations and more. The organisation was seamless. Expert run guiding by a real enthusiast who made the difference. Pacing the group meant we all got the most out of the experience. A memorable week.Gillian Russell review 26 Oct 2016
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Simon and Lucy (our hosts) provided our running group with fantastic guides who were able to provide both the local knowledge of the Pyrenees mountains and years of experience of trail running. We were treated to fantastic runs with simply stunning views every day. I'm struggling to pick any one run as the best one, as each one had something a bit special. The word "WOW" was used a lot!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
If you like trail running, you'll love this holiday. Hill training is good idea prior, but the guides were able to cater for different levels of fitness and pace without any issues.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Not only were local guides provided, but we ate a lot of locally produced food during the holiday. Simon and Lucy grew a lot of the veg we were eating, so fresh it was picked less than an hour before we were eating it. Just fantastic! It was clear from the renovation carried out just how much the hosts cared for the environmental impact, reusing what materials they could.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
This holiday far exceeded what I was expecting in a trail running holiday. Our group was so well looked after and we were treated to some fantastic runs in the Pyrenees mountains. I will be back for sure!Holiday Reviews
