Architect Designed Villa with pool set in Mature Gardens ideal for Large Groups

Our family had a wonderful fortnight’s holiday in Eileen and Aiden’s property in June. The house and gite are exactly as described and both were beautifully and comfortably furnished and extremely well equipped for self catering. The property is sited in a large, mature and well cared for garden, which added to the pleasure of our stay. It is located in a quiet rural area, within easy access of several places of historic interest. Our hosts were very friendly and responsive to any queries that we had and were extremely helpful in our requests. Highly recommended.

The property is way better than described, roomy, light with a huge garden and fantastic pool which was fenced so great if you have kids. There is plenty of tables of chairs spread out across the garden so no problem finding somewhere to relax. Kitchen well stocked and beds comfy. The 3 ensuites were ideal for us and showers all worked well. Fans in ach of the rooms kept us cool despite the 30-degree temperatures. The surrounding area was very nice, especially Carcassonne with its medieval city and swimming lake. Mountain bike trails from the house and surrounding area were good although some were very challenging and a bit scary. A great holiday and would highly recommend the property and area to all, especially families with older and younger chiildren due to the great garden and pool.

Schönes großes Grundstück mit tollem Pool. Das Gästehaus hätte noch ein Badezimmer mehr vertragen können aber ansonsten alles tip top. In 6km Entfernung gut bestückter Spar-Supermarkt, ein guter Bäcker sowie eine Metzgerei. Wir sieben Motorradfahrer waren sehr zufrieden.

Nous avons passé deux semaines très agréables, au calme. La maison était très propre. Elle est bien fonctionnelle et vaste, comme indiqué dans le descriptif et on s'y sent vraiment "comme chez soi". Les jardins sont très bien entretenus, ainsi que la piscine, dont nous avons pu profiter presque tous les jours, la météo n'étant pas très clémente en première semaine. Je recommande chaudement.

Maison agréable à vivre avec beaucoup d'espace et des chambres indépendantes avec salle de bains individuelles. Pour des vacances simples en famille ou entre amis, dans le calme d'un bel endroit retiré plein de charme (petits écureuils vous accueils dans le jardin). Tout y est fonctionnel et la maison est très bien équipée coté ustensiles de cuisine et avec wifi (indispensable car le seul le réseau de l'opérateur orange couvre ce secteur). La piscine est indéniablement un plus avec beaucoup de bains de soleil et de table pour profiter d'un repos bien mérité après de belles ballades dans ce territoire préservé et riche en lieux culturels et naturels. La propriétaire Eileen est tout simplement adorable et toujours très serviable. Seul bémol : il ne faut pas être maniaque du ménage : c'est propre, mais pas irréprochable ... mais après tout, ce sont les vacances et cela vous libère des obsessions de tout aseptiser. Je recommande chaudement.

We spent two weeks at this property with a large family group.We thought the property was ideally suited for this as there was ample space for group activities as well as the opportunity for quiet time alone if desired. The house itself was very light and airy and the additional bathrooms were great. The property was very clean and well maintained and the large garden setting with, pool, fruit trees and ample birdlife was a really nice space to relax. Although it is not within walking distance of shops there are many choices to be made in the surrounding villages and towns. We also did some great circular walks in the very picturesque villages countryside surrounding the house. we would very happily recommend this property especially for a large group.

We can highly recommend this property. We had a large family group staying and the layout of the properties allowed areas for joint activities as well as space for those who wanted time alone. The additional bathrooms were a real bonus. We spent long tranquil evenings on the patio listening to the hooting of owlsl and other birdlife. We enjoyed some beautiful long walks through the surrounding villages and country lanes. We also spent lots of time around the pool relaxing in the lextensive garden with its abundance of fruit trees.A car is essential due to the location. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

The two houses not adjoining but near to eachother in the same grounds were just what we needed for our famly. We could make as much noise as we liked without disturbing anyone, or enjoy the tranquiiity when the younger members were asleep. It is well and thoughtfully equipped. The open plan living accommodation is light and airy with french windows on two sides (although these are not always easy to lock).The garden is big enough to play games in. There is rich rolling countryside with the vinyards of Minervois,old hill top villages, and some delightful towns . The owners are fortunate in having a very pleasant relative living locally, who looks after the place and knows the locality. It would be a kindness to the neighbours if wifi was installed; our teenage grandson spent much of his time outside the gates of a house further up the hill where he could get on line, but the owner was very tolerant. - Paul and Val Pelham.
