Renting Bed & Breakfast Asque Les Baronnies

La Ferme Loubetas is an ancient farm set in 8 hectares of landscaped woods and fields in the foothills of the highest Peaks of the central French Pyrenees. The farm nestles on a hillside above the tiny village of Asque, on the edge of the Pyrenees National Park.

This is a paradise for walkers and nature lovers, where you will find peace and seclusion in a beautiful setting, and, at the same time, have easy access to a wide range of attractions and activities to suit most tastes.

Immediately around us are the unspoilt Baronnies - a timeless world of tiny villages with simple baroque churches, ancient lime-plastered farms, green pastures, rolling hills clad with dense forests of beech, ash, oak, chestnut and pine, crystal clear streams, waterfalls, and spectacular caves. And further afield there is lots more to discover, from Nature Reserves in the High Pyrenees, with their amazing fauna and flora, to charming small towns, such as Bagnères de Bigorre, with its museums, thermal baths and truly local Saturday morning market.

We offer the following accommodation, and also provide delicious three-course dinners on request, using, where possible, organic produce from our vegetable garden or from local farms:

3 ROOMS IN THE FARM WITH SINGLE BEDS. The bedrooms are on the first floor of the restored barn, accessed from a long corridor, and have wooden floors and some sloping ceilings. They are all simply and tastefully decorated. The building is centrally heated, with additional electric radiators in all bedrooms. On the ground floor there is a large dining room/kitchen, a playroom with ping-pong and piano, and a large relaxation/yoga room.

• BEDROOM 1 in the Farm (Family room for 2-4 people)

Its eastern gable wall is in natural stone, with double-windows facing onto the farm’s trees and pastures. Let yourself be lulled to sleep by the hooting of owls, the gentle trickling of our stream, and the muted tinkling of cowbells.
