The Secret Spot Lodge

My sister and I spent a fantastic week with Nelly and Troy and we would highly recommend a stay with them. The accommodation is very cozy and is a very welcoming place. Nelly and Troy are great hosts who always make sure you have everything you need for a good stay. 

We also took surf lessons with Troy, which were really great. He tailors the lessons to the skill level so they are both a lot of fun and help you improve! 

Thank you so much for a great time! We are already looking forward to our next visit, hopefully next summer 😊

Stumbled upon this gem when googling for surf-holidays. Had a perfect week at Nelly and Troy’s place in July 2023.
Short drive to the beach and the younger part of the family (two teenagers + 20-year old) had surf-lessons with Troy. An excellent surf-instructor; they had never surfed before but made it up on the boards and really enjoyed the experience. 
The atmosphere at the lodge is welcoming, relaxed and really «chill» thanks to Nelly, Troy and their charming children. Rooms and common areas are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is very, very good. Fridge, outdoor kitchen and barbecue at disposal. Perfect for a relaxed family-holiday. 

Only regret is we had not planned to stay for more than a week. Next time we will!

We had a great stay at Nelly&Troy's place. The location is perfect, quiet and 15min from the ocean. They have a nice swimming pool you can relax, and you can ask Troy for surf lessons or any advice related to surfing.
The breakfast is amazing and very generous, just perfect to start the day. You have an outdoor kitchen with everything you need to cook for your meal and a private fridge to store your food.
Everything is perfect to  make you feel welcome and make your stay easy and relaxing. Thank you for that great Time.

Nelly, Troy and the kids are wonderful hosts and have a great place to stay! We stayed for 5 nights and had a super time. The living space is perfect: the big terasse by the pool has an outdoor kitchen complete with a bbq, plancha as well as a dining area makes for a cosy dinner, which you can follow up with a ping pong or darts game. You get your own fridge and plenty of dry storage for food. The room is super comfy and has everything you need! 

The breakfast is really good: there’s plenty to choose from and Nelly makes amazing scrambled eggs! The (delicious) homemade muffins which are part of breakfast are there to take throughout the day if you get a bit hungry. :) 

Nelly and Troy know the area really well. Troy is a great surf teacher and the wetsuit and board are included during your stay: both for a lesson, as well as if you go and have a surf by yourself! 

The beach and places to buy food or go out to eat are close by and easy to get to. 

Will definitely come back, and highly recommend :) 

Your search for the perfect surf lodge on the French coast can stop right here! We highly recommend staying here with Nelly, Troy and family who are warm, generous and welcoming hosts to their beautiful lodge just a few minutes drive from the running French surf beaches. Fabulous accommodation, wonderful breakfasts, amazing pool and outside kitchen. Our whole family (of 5) had the best time. Nelly and Troy really go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need and are always on hand to advise on things to do, places to go, beaches to visit. Excellent surf lessons from Troy as well! 

We have been coming here for years as we always enjoy the stay so much! This family-run lodge is a true secret jewel, led with love. The breakfast includes homemade crêpes and muffins! :) You can truely relax here - knowing that you can go surfing or check out those fantastic climbing parks nearby whenever you feel like it. Enjoy!

Main thing about the Secret Spot is Nelly, Troy and the kids, which makes your experience great. Delicious breakfast by Nelly followed up by perfect surfing lessons with Troy ( even with a broken toe) was just enough for us to enjoy our stay. Its clean cozy

The environment at "The secret spot" is magical, the kindness of the owners brings positivity to the vacation and allows you to have a special time. Nelly meticulously cleans the house and prepares fantastic breakfasts, and Troy is a real surfing expert and can give you the right tips for your surfing vacation.

3yrs ago we visited the secret spot lodge, and we already knew that we would go back some time! So we did this July.
Nelly and Troy (and the kids) are so kind and will do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. 
Breakfast is amazing, and we did surf lessons almost everyday with Troy, very much recommended If you want to make progress but also for having fun ;)
The lodge has a relaxed atmosphere, never too busy but nice to meet other guests too.
We would recommend this place to everyone
Thanks you So much Nelly & Troy
Hope to meet soon again!

We found this nice place by coincidence while planning our trip in France. We had such a great week, enjoyed Nellys delicious breakfasts, hang out by the pool with the other guests and with Nelly and Troys two nice children. We lived in the Basque room, the coolest one in the house which was great. We made a barbecue, played basket, pole tennis, relaxed in the sun, read books, took on trips to Biarritz, Bayonne and San Sebastián and enjoyed  Nelly and Troys recommendations for restaurants and sights and just nice talks about life lived in this nice little corner of France. Next time we will book surf lessons with Troy! We can warmly recommend this fantastic place.
