Lovely comfortable gite.
The gite was very clean and comfortable. The Tour De France rode right through the village which was really exciting and all the village was out to cheer! Beautiful walks with spectacular scenery all around - an artist or photographer would enjoy this- also walkers and cyclists. Good safe walks/cycle routes for all ages and fitness levels. We reallly enjoyed our stay and would return. Thanks. Patricia and Jim

Un séjour paisible dans un environnement bucolique
Le gîte correspondait totalement à nos attentes. Il est très joliment aménagé et la possibilité de profiter également d'un autre espace au niveau du jardin était un atour supplémentaire. L'accueil a été très chaleureux. Nous étions proche des lieux que nous souhaitions visiter (Carcassonne, les châteaux cathares notamment). Un très bon séjour.

Quiet retreat in a small village. Wonderful hosts.
My husband and I spend almost one week in this quiet village. The gite was small as described but had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. The location was very good for traveling around during the day or just enjoying the outdoors. If you have some mobility issue, just be aware that this gite has a steep staircase to the bedroom mezzanine and a few steps down into he gite through a low door. For most people, this is ok. Bob and Jo are the most generous hosts. They are extremely helpful and attentive.

Short but very sweet
We arrived after a rather hairy journey through some very unseasonal downpours. As the fields were being washed away before our eyes, Jo arrived to rescue us when our courage and sense of direction in near-nil visibility failed.
The next day the skies were clear, the sun shone and the beauty of the countryside was all around.
Armed with excellent suggestions from Bob as to how to get the most from our short time, we set off and enjoyed two days of exploring the immediate area. Lakes, hills, distant snow-capped mountains and acres upon acres of sunflowers in full bloom did much to whet our appetites for a return at an early date.
The gite was all we needed, with a charming and imaginatively designed garden just outside and accessed from a communal lounge/playroom/garden kitchen/small library room two doors along and ten steps away from our entrance.
The unseasonal storms returned to see us off on our last night, though this time viewed from the security of our bedroom window - and if there's one thing to get me excited it's a ripping, banging and crashing lightning storm - but not when you're lost and in unfamiliar open countryside which is being washed away as you watch.
Bravo Bob and bravo Jo, the perfect hosts. Unobtrusive, friendly, helpful and wise. We would hope that our paths cross again soon.
And finally to Mr or Mrs Thinking-Of-Staying-at-Bob-and-Jo's, all I can say is stop thinking and go for it.

Cute open plan apartment in the heart of rural France
We were looking for peace and calm on our walking holiday in the Razès. While the weather was a little inclement, the gite ticked all the boxes for us. It was snug and warm with great views over the gardens. Well-equipped with all the essentials and a free film and music library to hand! The peace in the gite and the countryside were just what we wanted. We loved it!

ticked all the boxes!
Definitely a tranquil place and space in which to unwind, well located in the heart of cathar castle land, and as cute and cosy as the photos reveal. We loved every minute and will be back in summer to enjoy the gite in the warmer climes too!

les photos sont tres belles et incitent mais.....
appartement petit. A l'entrée porte basse signalée comme porte pour hobbit puis marches très hautes peu commode l'escalier d'accès au coin nuit ( mezzanine) est très pentu la dernier marche signalée comme dangereuse, les photos du jardin et de la grange sont très jolies mais la poussière a fait son effet l'accès est difficile il faut faire le tour du bâtiment ou accéder par le haut en descendant des escaliers et porter son panier si l'on veut déjeuner dans le jardin, de plus c'est un lieu commun a tous les gites, toutefois hôte très courtois
