Return home rejuventated…

Pignoulet is such a wonderful place to practice pilates, with easy links from UK to Lourdes.

Susie and James treated us so well with fabulous food, lots of wine and plenty of laughter.

The variety of pilates exercise, swimming, countryside walks and comfy beds sent me home throughly rejuvenated. Next year will be a joy 🙂

3rd stay at Pignoulet

My third time at Pignoulet and certainly not my last. First two visit were Pilates Retreats this time I came with my family and we took over the house for the week. I felt relaxed within minutes of our arrival, the worries of the world left at the beautiful gate at the end of the driveway. With this being a family holiday I got to visit local markets, the most amazing day out on the Funicular in Lourdes and a trip to the coast at Saint Jean de la Luz all within a sensible distance (coast 2hrs being the furthest) the house is still as beautiful as the first time I saw it but now with more en suites. We shall certainly be back again for a family holiday- next time I’m bringing even more family with me. Thank you Susie & James for your wonderful hospitality and opening up your beautiful home to us.

Bendy Ladies second stay…

We ‘The Bendy Ladies’ have been spoilt rotten during our stay at Pignoulet. A beautiful traditional farmhouse with extras! Delicious food prepared and served by James and Susie…. They kept our wine glasses full too, even by the pool!! Pilates classes taught in wonderful indoor and outdoor studios. Such a treat to feel so energised but relaxed. We’ve booked in again next year!

One of my “happy places”

So happy to finally be able return to one of my “happy places”. This was my second visit to Pignoulet and it did not disappointment (not that I expected it to). The Pilates classes were as varied and challenging as my first visit.
The food and hospitality provided by Susie and James were fantastic. A perfect place to “detox” from the outside world. So glad we already have a third visit scheduled for 6 months time!

Top Notch

Full to the brim from a tranquil holiday in rural France, in a beautiful French chateau, and the tasty catered food.

James & Susie’s catering and hospitality was top notch; daily pilates classes were a much welcomed addition; and the views of the Pyrenees on the running routes were sublime.

A perfect booking for our large group of friends.

Pignoulet is heaven.

Pignoulet is heaven. A beautiful farmhouse with all the facilities you could wish for. We were generously hosted by the charming Susie and James who provide delicious and healthy meals, Yoga & Pilates classes and suggestions of local activities including markets in nearby towns, vineyard tours and wine tasting. It’s perfect for groups of friends or families to unwind and there’s something for everyone here. I’m already plotting my return.

Cosy fires in November

I recently joined a Pilates weekend with a group of friends, expecting to be trotting up the road for food and drink, how wrong could I be – the food and drink and general hospitality was unreal, top quality. The cosy fires in the lounge and other rooms was so inviting.

The pilates teaching was the best I have experienced, so personalised. Seemed to be pitched to all levels. Classes were flexible and adapted to the group needs

The rooms and general cleanliness was exceptional with lots of little touches whilst still very homely

There were a few local walks to meet all abilities – a short drive away would offer even more

It was a privilege to visit Susie and James retreat and I’m looking forward to visiting next year in the warmer weather to enjoy the garden and pool – Thank you xx

Family stay

We (my wife and I) were recently invited to join our daughter’s family for a weeks’ stay at Pignoulet.
Although retired and not necessarily requiring a “chill out” I must say that what a delightful week we had, with Susie and James possibly qualifying as the most accommodating hosts we have met. Hence we would fully recommend Pignoulet for anyone seeking rest and relaxation.

We wanted for nothing…

A truly wonderful few days of Pilates, relaxation and laughter in the beautiful surroundings of Pignoulet.

James and Susie were the most generous of hosts, welcoming our group into their stunning home. We wanted for nothing…delicious and nourishing food, drinks, cheese and even a bit of dancing…!

Can’t wait for my next retreat in 2020. Thank you James, Susie and Dotty. xxx Christine Dinwoodie Oct 2019

What a wonderful weekend. Perfect

What a wonderful weekend.
Perfect setting, perfect hosts and perfect pilates. I had a wonderful time. Many of us have such busy lives that it’s hard to take the time to relax. I did definitely relax at Pignoulet immersed in the wonderful atmosphere created by the hosts.

The food was wonderful, the wine flowing and the relaxing scenery amazing. A great setting for making new friends or spending time with ‘old’ ones. I would return in a heartbeat.

Thank you for looking after me so well. See you soon

A Perfect Pampering

A Perfect Pampering

My stay could not have been more perfect, from start to finish I felt pampered and utterly spoilt.

Susie and James are the most welcoming hosts, their warm hospitality made me instantly at ease.

I hadn’t met anyone else on our Pilates retreat before but the scene was set for new friendships to flourish and we chatted late into the night and helped each other with worries and plans.

My dietary requirements were outstandingly well catered for, homemade glutenfree bread, granola, excellent meals, endless buffets and quite frankly copious amount alcohol!

I enjoyed the Pilates sessions hugely and congratulate you both on creating such a special vibe.

I did joke that I’d like to move in – or at least come back on a very regular basis!

A bientôt

Didn’t want to leave

Recently visited Le Pignoulet for a Pilates retreat! Amazing from start to finish and didn’t want to leave. Susie and James were the best hosts you could wish for. Their home grown home cooked food was delicious. The infused water, wine and fizz flowing freely. The house is beautiful with amazing views and scenery, garden, great sun rises and sunsets. The perfect place to chill out and relax. The moment you drive through the gates you could feel the calm and relaxed atmosphere. What a wonderful home you have. Thank you for letting us share it for a few days xx

A truly memorable stay

Simply amazing. It’s difficult to know where to start: idyllic rural setting, understated grandeur, charming and stylish accommodation, sublime food or fabulous pool. Actually it all started with the delightfully friendly and welcoming Susie and James – the perfect hosts – who have the special talent of making you feel you’ve known them years after the first handshake. They are warm, engaging, entertaining, informative and accommodating.

Thanks for a truly memorable stay.

A First Class Experience

This was a first class experience which I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. I held my first Pilates Retreat here last month and the entire experience has been a joy. Aside from the wonderful location, incredible hosts and fresh, mouth-watering food, from my point of view as a teacher, Susie and James did everything in their power to help me get this retreat off the ground, and make it a huge success. My clients had the most amazing retreat experience and are joining me again next year. I can’t thank you enough Susie and James. Cheshire Pilates.

Simply perfect. My second visit to Pignoulet with a different group of friends and we have already booked to come back next year. What Susie and James have created is simply unique, the house is stunning, food is amazing and Susie is a fabulous Pilates instructor. Some of the group had never done Pilates before and Susie has the ability to make everyone feel at ease yet confident to get the most out of each lesson.
Susie and James are the perfect hosts with endless supplies of tea, cake and of course the rose!

Thank you so much for another wonderful retreat. So very good for the soul. See you in 2020 xx

Refined French charm

Away from it all! The hospitality and food at Domaine du Pignoulet are second to none. Pilates, outdoor swimming and bracing walks are an added bonus. Couple all this with refined French charm and this is a winning formula for a very relaxing and restful break away. Thank you so much Susie and James. We’ll be back!

“An amazing couple of days at Le Pignoulet”

Wow! from the moment I stepped through the wonderful iron gates you felt relaxed and pampered!
Susie and James are so welcoming and marvellous; their cooking and their hospitality is fabulous and in abundance. Their menus were so varied and we enjoyed super local produce. The rooms were so spacious and well furnished and equipped. I was so fortunate to enjoy waking up to a wonderful sunrise each morning and then enjoy the sunshine so swimming and relaxing in the quiet in the grounds was fantastic.
I can’t wait to return and would confidently recommend it to others.

Retreat = Real Treat

“A retreat that’s a real treat”. As organiser of the ‘bendy ladies’ trip to Pignoulet I was both excited and a little bit nervous about what we would experience – but everything we encountered exceeded all expectations.
The food, the wine, the fresh air and of course the pilates were fantastic.
Susie and James were fabulous hosts and are passionate about what they offer… I don’t think you can get any better!
Bendy ladies are booked in next year!

“Truly fabulous stay”

Not long been back from a truly fabulous stay at Pignoulet. James & Susie are the perfect hosts welcoming us into their lovely home. We had the most amazing food all sourced locally with some lovely wine. Susie is a great Pilates teacher and in our small group of 8 was able to finely tweak us individually so we got the best out of each class. I would highly recommend the experience and am looking forward to going again next year for another week of fun & laughter with great friends.

A spot of star gazing

I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing couple of days at wonderful Pignoulet. James and Susie were wonderful hosts who provided us with delicious meals and wine. My room was beautifully decorated and had a fabulous en-suite bathroom.

My overriding memory of our stay would be the joy of staying in such a peaceful and beautiful area. The sunny weather enabled us not only to enjoy eating lunch outside (despite it being mid-winter!) but also to do a spot of star gazing once the evening came.

I would recommend a visit to Pignoulet so that you can thoroughly relax in the knowledge that you’ll be wonderfully cared for in a fantastic environment.

Wow! It is almost impossible to find the words to describe how wonderful the Pignoulet experience is. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely cocooned in the peace and beauty of Pignoulet. Susie and James, you are the perfect hosts. Everything has been considered form the english plugs in the gorgeous bedrooms to the stunning, fully equipped Mat Pilates studios and the extensive support you give to us teachers. The food has been fantastic, so flavoursome, wholesome and completely delicious and of course the wine has flowed freely!
Thank you so much for sharing your slice of heaven and i can’t wait to return.

A little slice of heaven

I am just home from the most perfect weekend at Le Pignoulet. The house itself is stunning; beautifully and sympathetically renovated, spacious and comfortable with many places to gather together with friends and family, or seek out a quiet corner to curl up and read a book.

Our hosts Susie and James are one of the most warm and generous couples I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We were instantly made to feel at home and welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. The array of delicious meals they cooked for us was superb, with fresh local produce making every meal burst with flavour.

I can’t wait to return next June with a group of my Pilates clients so that I can share this little slice of heaven with them. I’m sure that like me, they will fall in love with Le Pignoulet!

Thank you Susie and James for a truly wonderful weekend xx

Wonderful hosts; warm, passionate and fun.

James and Susie made us feel so welcome, they treated us like friends staying over for the weekend.

The building has been lovingly and expertly updated, which means that the facilities are as you would have in your own home.

What shines through is the love and passion that James and Susie have for their project here at Pignoulet. They are clearly a couple who take pleasure in doing things and doing them well.

I had a lovely weekend at the teacher’s retreat and I am
looking forward to coming back soon.

The perfect hosts

What a weekend! Susie and James welcomed me with a group of friends last week and I have to say it was the most relaxing weekend I have had in a very long time. It felt like arriving home after a busy, stressful day at work and just leaving our worries behind. The house is set in a lovely, quiet area and the facilities there are outstanding: beautiful pool, spacious, clean bedrooms, quirky Pilates studio, lots of space to sit and relax. The food was better than anything I’d expected, and catered for all the dietary requirements in our party, seamlessly. I am about to put down a deposit for next year and I cannot wait to be back! Thanks James and Susie for being the perfect hosts.

This was my second visit

This was my second visit for a weekend of Pilates. I hadn’t thought it possible to better my first visit but how wrong can you be!! It was a weekend of fun, friendship, wonderful food (and wine!) – and lots of Pilates!
We started the weekend knowing only one or two others in the group but ended as a group of long term friends – Susie and James and Pignoulet have that effect on you.
I am so looking forward to returning for retreats 3 and 4 next year!!!

Roll on next year

I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from my weekend and was pleasantly blown away at every element.
The rooms are spacious and clean, and the beds were super comfy beds. We didn’t spend very much time in our rooms, but had a lovely view when we did. The night sky is just stunning!
The food was incredible, and with multiple allergies to cater for, Susie and James really were up against it. Far from underwhelming “free from” processed nonsense, they put some serious effort into ensuring our party of 10 ate together in an inclusive way, which is really important to people who feel excluded everywhere they eat. The local wines are delectable, and don’t give you a hangover the next day!
We had brilliant weather for September, and were able to spend a few hours by the pool each day, which was amazing considering it had started getting chilly back home in the UK.
The pilates classes were the bonus for me, and although I’ve not done pilates for many years, I really enjoyed them. Susie’s teaching skills are phenomenal, and it’s made me want to continue practising locally. Coming home with sore abs felt like a rite of passage.
I cannot thank Susie and James enough for their hospitality, and I shall be recommending Pignoulet to every single person I know. Roll on our retreat next year 🙂

I can’t wait to go back!

I’m not sure that words can describe this place and the wonderful people who run it.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome…from welcome drinks, to a tour of the house and a wonderful lunch. Nothing was too much trouble; indeed I’ve never met such kind, gentle, accommodating, friendly hosts. And I’ve travelled a lot.

Our group wasn’t the easiest to cater for. There were multiple food allergies, coeliacs and vegans and we were all fed with gorgeous food and never once made to feel different or awkward.

As a mum to a child with coeliac disease I never get a break from planning or making food. The weekend was proper relaxation. Never once did I think about food and I was able to truly relax for the first time in over a decade.

The Pilates classes were fantastic…adapted seamlessly for both total beginners and advanced alike.

If you want complete relaxation whether that be with a group of friends and family with no ‘extras’ or as part of a retreat where your every need is catered for, then this is the place.

I can’t wait to go back!

What an incredible retreat

What an incredible retreat. Visiting for a long pilates weekend with a group of friends, Suzie and James welcomed us into their home from the moment we drove through the gates. I can honestly say that I haven’t felt as calm and relaxed in years.
Suzie’s pilates sessions were perfectly paced for the wide range of abilities in our group and easy to follow, with plenty of attentive guidance when we needed it. Best of all, the pilates studio was set in an open barn area, surrounded by the sounds of nature and fresh air. Truly special.
The house itself is a delight, with loads of character, comfortable bedrooms, large pool and pretty gardens. Set in beautiful countryside, close to the Pyrenees, Domaine du Pignoulet is the perfect base to explore the surrounding area.
Staying full board, we were treated to incredible fresh, home-prepared food, with a whole range of allergies and intolerances in our group being catered for without fuss. Being Coeliac, it was a treat to be looked after with wonderful meals without worry. The flourless Orange Cake and Cacao energy bites were divine!
A couple of days on and I am still reaping the benefits of the relaxation experienced. I feel privileged to have stayed in such a lovely place with such amazing people. Thank you so much Suzie and James for making our break with you so special. I truly hope that I will be back soon.

Amazing long weekend

Had the most amazing long weekend thoroughly spoilt by Susie and James. Pilates sessions couldn’t have had a better setting in the barn watching the sun rise in the morning. Every session was different and I still cant believe we did a whole 8 hours over the 3 days. The food was just beautiful…and so was the wine!

Thoughtful touches

I have never entered a holiday let and received such a warm welcome in my life. From the very moment we drove through the gates Susie and James welcomed us with open arms to their beautiful home. The property is stunning, the bedrooms comfortable and the bathrooms spacious and spotless. Thoughtful touches, like mosquito plug ins and UK adaptors had been left in the bedroom for us. The garden is very pretty and the swimming pool most welcome on a hot day.
The local area is very pretty, with tiny French villages, local markets, old churches and sunflower fields galore.
We were there for a pilates retreat and Susie is a fantastic teacher, coping with a mixed-ability group seemingly without effort. Waking up to a morning pilates session with the sounds of the farm animals waking up, and the sun peeking over the horizon is priceless.
And I haven’t even got to the food yet! Susie and James coped with multiple dietary requirements during our stay and did a truly wonderful job of feeding us all. I can’t wait to go back.
