Parfait pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille

Nous avons passé deux merveilleuses semaines du 5 au 19 août 2023. Nous étions un groupe d'amis avec quelques un de nos grand enfants (14 en tout) et aussi bien la maison que l'extérieur (cours et piscine) ont parfaitement répondu à nos attentes. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Carcassonne, les chais locaux et les grottes à proximité et se balader au bord du canal du midi. La situation en pleine ville offre beaucoup d'avantages (commerces à 3 minutes en voiture, pizzeria juste en face, concerts et animations à 5 minutes a pied) et quelques tous petits inconvénients (un peu de bruits de circulation). Merci à Charlotte et Will pour leur accueil et les échanges toujours rapide et à Mike pour ses interventions. Nous sommes tous d'accord pour revenir l'année prochaine 😁.

A Holiday mover to be Forgotten

We were celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversay with all our Family so there was 14 of us in total. The house was lovely, giving us lots of space to come together, but with enough to have our own individual space. Everything was there we required . When we contacted the owner regarding cleaning of the pool after the 1st week, he immediately arranged for it to be cleaned. There was a be lovely welcome basket for our arrival. The whole family, oldest to youngest loved the place so much. Although right in the middle of town you would never have known it as it was so quiet on the terrace. Sunbathing by day, swimming and long lazy lunches and dinners it was everything we hoped it would be for us to celebrate our vow renewals under the Honeysuckle Bower.. Thank you
