My family enjoyed our stay here! Tim and Kate were great hosts!

Tim and Kate were very responsive and accommodated our extended stay. The house itself was perfect for the five of us! We enjoyed great food and wine at the restaurant next door. We can’t wait to come back and would stay here again!

Wonderful holiday in Les Cabannes

Quaint and characterful cottage, very well equipped and with many thoughtful touches from the owners. The villages of Les Cabannes and Cordes (en bas et sur ciel) are beautiful and within easy walking distance. Many more remarkable medieval villages and chateaux are less than an hour away by car. The countryside is pristine and unspoilt. Highly recommended!

Thank you Charles. We hope you managed to visit some of the local markets. There is a huge one in St Antonin on a Sunday which we always enjoy. The drive over the hills and down into this stupendous valley is superb.

A pleasant stay

We have visited Cordes sur Ciel many times. Maison Felix is in an ideal location to visit Cordes and enjoy the surrounding countryside. The house is exactly as described, with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, heaters in all the rooms, good lighting, and cozy seating areas. The hosts provided croissants, baguette, and wine which was a nice welcome. There is a bucolic garden around the back. It was a perfect place to stay for me, my wife and adult daughter.

La Maison Felix

Jolie petite maison, très fonctionnelle avec un seul bémol : l'emplacement du jardin. Le jardin n'est pas contigüe à la maison et par conséquent profiter d'un espace extérieur sans prévoir toute une organisation n'est guère possible. un grand merci à Tim & Kate et Janine pour leur réactivité qui rend le séjour très agréable.

Merci pour votre réponse Taraneh et nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre visite. La description de notre propriété indique clairement que le jardin tranquille séparé avec zone ombragée, table et chaises se trouve à quelques pas derrière la maison. Nous prenons nos repas sur les grands plateaux et ne trouvons pas que cela pose problème.

Très bon séjour dans la maison Félix. Le gîte est confortable et agréable. Les balades aux alentours sont très chouettes. Un peu déçus par le jardin, nous n'avons pas trouvé de hamac comme sur la photo !

It was charming and historic. It was also remarkably cool inside the old stone house even though it was over one hundred degrees outside. The location provides easy access to Albi and other wonderful old towns.

Lovely, interesting house in a beautiful, peaceful village

We much enjoyed staying in a house whose history could be felt in every corner and every room. It was also thoughtfully and extensively equipped with all necessary aids to comfortable living. Les Cabannes itself is like a village lost in time, but its nearness to the wonders of Cordes cité, which could be seen spectacularly from the upper rooms, plus the amenities of its more contemporary lower area, made for an excellent holiday stay. The owners and their local representatives provided wonderfully complete information and briefings, which added to the our enjoyment. Anthony Phillips and Karine Georgian

Maison atypique et biscornue très bien située. Si vous n'aimez les escaliers choisissez en une autre! Par contre si vous vous laissez tenter,vous passerez un très agréable moment dans cette maisonnette. Juste un bémol, le jardin ne sert à rien

Excellent séjour !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la maison Félix. Une maison-cocon à l'atmosphère charmante et chaleureuse. Livres, jeux, déco personnalisée donnent à ce gite une vraie personnalité. Nous y avons été très bien accueillis. A deux pas de Cordes sur Ciel et de bien d'autres bastides à visiter, le tout dans un environnement naturel très ressourçant. Une adresse à retenir !

Tout était parfait : organisation pour l'arrivée, les détails qui nous ont été envoyés avant, la propreté et la literie impeccable. Avec un charme et un aménagement très "british" dans un village agréable à proximité de Cordes avec la possibilité de ballades en vélos et randonnées à proximité

A Lovely Town House close to Cordes sur Ciel

This house was perfect for our stay. We wanted to travel the area and to see Albi and Najac - both recommended as well as visit Cordes sur Ceil. The house provided and excellent base and is a short walk - 15 minutes to Cordes - easier of the way back as it is downhill! It has a well equipped kitchen and some lovely character rooms to enjoy.

6/10 Okay

non, ce n'est pas un chalet idyllique comme annoncé

c'est une maison de ville. Plutôt sombre par temps gris, elle doit être agréable par temps de canicule. Dommage qu'elle soit mal agencée, pas très propre, avec beaucoup de choses qui trainent mais pas les essentielles: pas de micro ondes, une télé minuscule perchée sur une étagère alors qu'elle aurait été si bien dans le salon cosy du 2 ième étage, une table collée au mur!!! Plutôt décevant mais des plus quand même : 2 salles de bain superbes, un très bon matelas dans la chambre du 1ier avec des oreillers en plume!! La clientèle anglaise est sans doute plus adaptée pour ce genre de lieu qui se veut original sans l' être pour les français. La mauvaise surprise: ma caution a été débitée à la réservation et j'aimerais que l'on me la rende rapidement. On s'en remettra néanmoins!!!

Nous regrettons que Françoise n'ait pas trouvé notre petite maison idyllique, mais certains faits doivent être corrigés. La maison se trouve dans le village, pas la ville, des Cabannes. Il est très propre, et il n'y a pas de table collée au mur. C'est en effet charmant quand le soleil brille! Nos autres invités français ont adoré la maison, mais nous ne pouvons pas faire plaisir à tout le monde. Nous convenons que la téléviseur serait mieux placée dans le salon et essaiera de réparer cela avant la saison prochaine. Nous pouvons également acheter un micro-ondes. Le dépôt est effectué par Abritel / HomeAway et est retourné par eux à nos clients après leur séjour à peu près au même moment où nous recevons le paiement de la location. Nous ne détenons pas de l'argent de nos invités.
