Pros:

Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel.
Tout était parfait, l'accueil et la gentillesse des propriétaires, le diner et le petit-déjeuner, la décoration (associant le rustique au confort).
Le village de Sare était charmant et peu touristique à cette période.
Nous reviendrons !

Enestående sted
Pros:

Sare er et lite, vakkert sted i Baskerland. Og her ligger dette 400 år gamle bygget som rommer det historiske hotellet.
Et stille sted med sjel, med et service-innstilt og hyggelig vertskap.

Restauranten ga gourmet-opplevelser av sjeldent slag.
Kort sagt: Anbefales!

Une maison MAGNIFIQUE
Pros:

Excellent sejour, rien ne manque à ce magnifique établissement pour qui aime l'hôtellerie à "l'ancienne ". L'accueil est chaleureux, le service compétent mais discret, le cadre et la décoration d'un goût parfait. Ce n'était pas notre premier sejour et ce ne sera certainement pas le dernier....Le restaurant est aussi hautement recommandable.

Pros:

very hot day. Dinner was really spoilt by all the wasps and flies, should have had something hanging from the trees to attract them away from the tables, it’s a shame as the food was very nice.

Air con in the room not up to the job, but it was a very hot night.

Pros:

C’est assez charmant dans un village picturesque mais des petites choses qui ne marche pas bien par exemple: difficulté à ouvrir la porte de chambre avec la clé, l’eau de douche n’evacue pas bien du tout et les chaînes du television ne changent pas normalement

Basque Gem
Pros:

So many details are just right about this boutique family run hotel, at some point you are overwhelmed. From the high quality Basque linens in the bathroom, to the extra pillows, beautiful art, balconies, quiet village setting, dining al fresco on the high value delicious dinner menu, the husband and wife proprietors have thought of everything and will go the extra mile to make sure your trip is successful. Ideas for hikes (mountains are literally just down the street), local hidden dining gems, day trips, or the highly curated gift shop are all enthusiastically shared with a genuine desire that you enjoy your trip to the fullest. Details: huge bathroom with separate tub, high quality linens on a comfy bed and air conditioning. Don’t miss the Hotel Arraya!

Pros:

Lovely hotel and everyone was very friendly. We had a beautiful meal in the restaurant and the location was very pretty. Unfortunately, whilst our dog was made very welcome from the owners, there were two cats that lived in the hotel and the stairs/floors made it quite difficult to stay there easily with a big dog.

For Authentic Basque head to this Hotel
Pros:

Lovely stay in a historic hotel with beautiful Basque decor. Nestled in the foothills and in a strategic location for touring wonderful towns like Saint Jean de Pied and Espelette. The town is very cute with some very lovely views of the Pyrenees. Rooms were comfortable as was the bed. Note: handheld shower, but made me feel nostalgic for classic European hotels visited in years past. Enjoyed the fresh air thanks to the balcony and French doors in our room.
Loved the antiques displayed throughout the building.
Dining room is pretty and authentic. Dinner was ok, not amazing, yet service was excellent and it was convenient.

I would definitely return if in the area, and after seeing Biaritz and St.Jean de Luz, I would encourage you to go inland to get a better feel for Basque life.
