Truly Amazing and Authentic
This has to be the nicest place we have ever stayed in. The location of the property is very handy to local shops, amazing restaurants and the best thing about, France the patisserie's. Alex and Pippa are very welcoming and share great knowledge of the local area including recommendations for day trips, where to eat and good wine of course. The House itself is breath taking. A beautiful two bedroom cottage opposite the main house with the most stunning garden and refreshing pool. We spent all hours of the hot afternoons sunbathing and swimming. We would 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away from the busyness of the city and truly immerse yourself into the village lifestyle. Thanks again for a unforgettable stay. J and C

Lovely break at a lovely cottage in a quiet French village
My wife and I, along with our 21-month-old daughter had a magical stay. Pipa and Alex are the perfect hosts and are on hand should you need anything. The village is quiet (what we wanted) but there are larger towns with supermarkets et al a short drive away. Would recommend hiring bikes from Trèbes and cycling to Carcassone. Would very much recommend.

Wonderful week in Southern France
We stayed here as a family with two children. This property was ideal. The pool was great and there were plenty of activities to keep the children occupied, including collecting eggs from the chickens. The location of the property was in a small rural village which offered peace and quiet. There are plenty of amenities nearby and there is no shortage of places to visit. The owners were very accommodating and were always available to answer any questions and suggest things to do and places to visit. Overall, we were delighted with the property and would highly recommend to other families.

Charming cottage in idyllic countryside
Entering the property through the wooden door in the ivy-covered wall is like stepping into The Secret Garden, but less wild and with a swimming pool added. The cottage is beautifully restored with stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings and large windows, and surrounded by lovely flower beds and potted plants. There are plenty of places for a family to spread out: comfy sofas in the living room, patio table with umbrella and loungers by the pool - both of which are shaded by the garden walls until after lunch. After driving down from Paris, where we had worn ourselves out being tourists, we very much enjoyed being able to relax by the pool for a few days before heading out sightseeing. Although the days were very hot (we stayed in late July) the large windows and fans provided in the bedrooms enabled things to cool down at night for comfortable sleeping. The kitchen is adequately equipped with plates, pots, utensils, some essential cooking supplies, like olive oil, salt and pepper, and an easy to use (and fast!) induction cooktop. The washing machine in the kitchen is a great bonus and with a simple 'fast wash' setting we were able to do laundry and hang things to dry overnight most days. Pipa and Alex could not have been more thoughtful hosts. They welcomed us with a bottle of wine, a tour of the cottage, and some dinner supplies since we had arrived in the evening after the local shops were closed. They advised us on where to buy groceries, the best beaches, towns and markets to visit: whatever we asked about they had an answer for and they offered help at every turn. For example, they provided us with a sun shade for a trip to the beach, a large picnic blanket, and sand tools for our children to use, and didn't mind at all that we took their towels to the beach. The village location was ideal for us: quiet and off the beaten path, but also within striking distance of several popular tourist sites. We took day trips East to Nîmes and the Pont du Gard and West to Perpignan and the Pyrenees. Coming home to cool off with a dip in the pool was a perfect way to end the day!

Lovely house in beautiful rural setting with outstanding hosts
This lovely cottage is in a very small village not far from Carcassonne. So a chance to stay somewhere off the beaten track - away from tourist hot spots - but with great places to visit within easy driving distance. Alex and Pippa were super hosts - made us feel very at home. Some great suggestions of things to do and places to see which really made our holiday. Thoroughly recommend.

Spacious, family-friendly cottage with lovely hosts in beautiful Minervois wine country
This charming, comfortable cottage is perfect for a family, situated in the walled garden of the large family home, with a private pool (not used by the family when we were in), trampoline, DVDs, games - and chickens to feed! Alex and Pipa struck the perfect balance of being available for advice and chat about the area whilst also giving us space to enjoy our holiday. Access to their kitchen garden and free-range eggs was an added treat, as was the expert advice on wine! The village is within reasonable distance of a variety of fabulous places (caves, mountains, vineyards, historic towns, Canal du Midi), whilst the cottage and pool is a lovely haven when you want to escape the heat - or just relax. Highly recommended holiday home in a beautiful part of France.

Charming cottage with incredible hosts!
We were in France for a friends wedding and decided to turn it into a holiday as well and we were not disappointed. The cottage is very sweet and and remarkably spacious once you're inside. 2 bedrooms upstairs, with some fantastic wooden furniture in them, and an open plan living room kitchen downstairs. There was beautiful coffee in the kitchen when we arrived and some red wine too, which was very welcoming. From the outside the surrounding plants all look fantastic and give the cottage a very secret garden type feel. The swimming pool is too is terrific, and as we were there during a heatwave it's where we spent most of our time. The location is rural, however Carcassone is only a 20 minute drive away and Trèbes is even closer than that. The hosts as well are absolutely fantastic, Alex, Pippa, and their children were all very accommodating and were eager to help however they could, which was very much appreciated. Overall an absolutely superb stay, we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat with a swimming pool.

Lovely cottage in quiet location
We enjoyed a week in this lovely cottage. It is situated in a quiet village close to the church and is ideal as a base for exploring the surrounding areas. The castles are amazing and the changing scenery is unbelievable. Even though the weather was not the best for us we didn't let it stop us. As we had a hire car we were able to travel down towards the Spanish border. We did manage a small dip in the pool on one of the better afternoons. Alex and Pippa are lovely hosts and are able to advise on the best places to visit. Being able to use the vegetables in the garden and the eggs from the chickens is a lovely added extra.

Lovely house in a great location
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little village. The house is well kitted out with lots of space, a cozy wood burning stove and an atmospheric position next to the church. We did lots of driving in the area to explore the towns and villages and found it to be a great spot.
