Flourishing B&B Business

Flourishing B&B Business This house at the end of a lovely small village on the edge of the Gers and the Hautes Pyrenees, is very famous locally for its flourishing B&B business. With towns like Marciac with its famous Jazz festival, Mirande Country festival and Antique Fairs in Trie-sur-Baise very close by, there are lots of activities to attract visitors.

Plus it's handy for day trips to the Pyrenees or a visit to Spain. Toulouse and Tarbes Airports are within one and a half hour's drive. Toulouse and Tarbes Airport are within a 1,5 hour's drive.

The house is on a nice distance from a road between two villages and lies with the back of the house towards this road, so hardly any noise to disturb the peaceful atmosphere.

Anyway, clients don't complain and are very satisfied about this B&B. Most of the clients come back regularly every year (some have been coming for nearly ten years).

Of course the personal touch of the present owner is very important too. The season start early April and finishes end of October. Winter letting is also possible, even if the present owners have chosen not to do so.

The house is big and besides that there are a lot of converted (or still to convert) barns. The romantic bedrooms are very spacious and all of them have a bathroom.

In one of the barns is now a huge summer residence with an office and on the first floor (at the left) a workshop area. At the right side another space to convert into a gite. Between this barn and the house another room ready (electricity and water already done) to convert into a gite to enlarge your business.

And last but not least: another part right of the house is ready to convert in into more B&B or gites (electricity and water done too). So, as you can see, there are lots of possibilities.

The big house is nicely renovated and offers you all the comfort you need. The entrance is big with an old oak staircase. At the left: a cosy living with fireplace and a kitchen with dining area and a laundry room. At the right side a master bedroom with bathroom.

On the first floor 3 bedrooms, all with a separate bathroom. On the staircase to the attic a handsome cupboard with all you need for running the B&B business. It all fits on more than 2 acres of garden with a pool and a garage with working area.

On top of all this you have a view of the Pyrenees! The house has double glazing, is very well insulated and the type of heating (pompe a chaleur) that has been chosen makes it a profitable business. An alarm system is installed. Well worth a visit.

The department of Gers is often described by those who know France as an excellent area to visit, if not the best area of France for Brits who want to relocate. It is not over-run however and indeed, the department has a diverse array of assets to discover, some of them are obvious; the rolling countryside, very mild climate, the Pyrenees mountains, whilst others remain more subtle like the hearty food, local culture, street markets and Gascon traditions. Foreigners often refer to the area as Gascony, referring to the former French province.

The department is generally an agricultural area where the local gastronomy is highly regarded by both French nationals and foreign expats. The most cultivated crops in Gers are Colza, Grain, Sunflowers and Corn. Some of the older locals may speak a Gascon patois, but its usage remains in decline among the younger generations.

The largest Gersoise towns in terms of number of inhabitants are Auch, Condom and Fleurance but even these are not overly large.
