Absolutely perfect
Thank you to Patrick and Liz for being such wonderful hosts. Their knowledge of the area and help when required was brilliant. Loved the walking guides and maps in the house. The house was very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. The outside space was a delight. The area was beautiful, plenty to see and do. A great stay.

Countryside peace
What a lovely place! Sleep to the sound of the stream. Wake to birdsong. Step onto the terrace to the scent of honeysuckle and jasmine. Big paved area with 2 tables/chairs, so always somewhere to eat in the sun or shade. This leads to a garden bordered by a stream and a meadow, with more seats and loungers, sun and shade. The house cool in the heat, bright living area, big bathroom, comfy bed. The owners couldn't have been more helpful.

Magnifique endroit et hôtes très sympathiques
Endroit magnifique, isolé, à savoir il vaut mieux faire les courses avant d'arriver, surtout si on arrive le dimanche. Plein d'orchidées et de paysages magnifiques, des vautours fauves à proximité et quantité de sites culturels et naturels à découvrir. Patrick et Liz sont très sympathiques et on est bien dans leur gîte.

Arrivée dans un cadre reposant et merveilleux.
La maison nous a offert tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Spacieuse, propre, calme, confortable, nous nous sommes senties à notre aise des notre arrivée. L accueil à été agréable, chaleureux. Patrick a su nous indiquer les sites à ne pas rater. La maison se situe à une équidistance de plein de sites à visiter et de ballades à faire. Les châteaux cathares, les abbayes, les gorges de galamus, une région riche et magnifique. Tant de choses reste encore à découvrir.
