The couple who run it are former pilgrims, and go out of their way to make sure people staying there get any help they need. The night I stayed happened to be a time when a few large groups were starting their walks from Aire sur l'Adour and it had become very difficult to get onward ookings in the gites for the next few days. (French groups that are car-supported have usually made gite bookings months ahead.) Our hosts made phone calls to try and help those of us without onward bookings. It was hard to get through to some places. The next morning as I was getting up, a telephone was brought into me: my host had finally got through to a gite and was in the process of booking it for me. I can't thank this couple enough for the sincerity of their care for pilgrims. I stayed in this hostel in May 2008 and can heartily recommend it.
