About this country house rental
Terrace and garden
A landscaped car park for five cars, including a covered space near the main entrance.
The garden entrance is the main entrance to ""The House in the Fields"". The gaze takes in the fields of wheat or sunflowers in a single glance.
The perfectly restored terrace (60m²) is covered by a canal tile roof supported by three large original round pillars in exposed stone. You can enjoy a barbecue, lunch or dinner sheltered from the sun or rain.
Near the terrace games are available for children: slide, swing, tricycle.
The garden, a 2000m2 pool of greenery, is delimited by a hedge. The exceptional 180° view immerses us in landscaped nature. Deer and hares sometimes come to surprise us!
Heated swimming pool 5mx10m
Facing the sunflower fields, a heated swimming pool measuring 5m by 10m (protected by an alarm) allows you to play and swim in complete safety: your buttocks in the water and your nose in the wheat, what could be better?
At the end of the day, swallows sometimes come to drink in low flight.
The swimming pool is surrounded by an exotic wooden beach that blends perfectly into the landscape. 6 sun loungers and 6 deck chairs allow you to relax in the sun or in the shade of the 3 large parasols. A wide staircase allows children to play in the water while still having their feet. The alarm does not exempt you from close monitoring.
Living space
The entrance on the dead end side allows direct access to the kitchen area and the dining room where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously.
The living room-kitchen-dining room is the living space of ""La maison dans les champs"": 80m² with exposed framework and stonework, lime wash, old terracotta floors. The whole gives a serene and soothing atmosphere.
A welcoming dining room
Equipped with a large farm table, this space, close to the fireplace and the kitchen, remains intimate and practical. A restored original manger can be used as a server.
In front of the monumental fireplace made of fairground bricks (pink brick from the Toulouse region) and oak, sofas and coffee tables are arranged. Wood is available free of charge.
A well-designed kitchen
The layout is a combination of original farmhouse features with modern practicality: dishwasher, induction hob, extractor hood, electric oven, microwave, fridge freezer combination, toaster, electric coffee maker , food processor, kettle, citrus press, laminate worktop, storage cupboards.
An old chest marks the separation between the kitchen and the dining room and contains crockery and cutlery for 14 people.

Sylvie and Alain are wonderfull hosts. They live next door and are always ready to help with any question or problem. The surroundings are stunning. We loved watching the sunset from within the swimming pool. The large covered terrace is a blessing in the warm climate. There is shadow all day long. We would have liked some pillows on the chairs (at the terrace and at the pool) to be a bit more comfortable. Overall we really enjoyed our holidays and absolutely recommend this house. Thank you for your service, Sylvie and Alain! We hope to see you again :-)

This house was perfect for our adult family of 8. Plenty of space, the pool looks over the beautiful rolling fields of southern France. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, very easy to work with.

We loved our stay at this property. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and the owners have done a fantastic job restoring the old barn into accommodation. Alain and Sylvie are helpful, friendly and really thoughtful in making sure we all had a lovely stay. There are lots of interesting places to visit in the area - you definitely need a car though. We highly recommend this as a place to stay!

The property is a beautifully renovated barn which adjoins the owner's big old stone farmhouse. The interior is well proportioned for multiple occupancy - we were two families with four children ranging from 7-14 and the accommodation was ample for those numbers. It is extremely well appointed with matching crockery, cutlery and a wealth of cooks' tools like blenders. Since one of our numbers is a keen cook, this was very welcome.
There is an issue - as previously noted - with the soundproofing from one of the twin rooms to the large double ensuite downstairs. We jiggled the children around to overcome this but if you have noise sensitive adults or light sleepers then they need to go upstairs.
The owner was very attentive during our stay and was on top of all the Covid 19 cleaning and sanitising precautions, which we were pleased to note. I believe this meant that the books, DVDs and games which are listed had been removed, so during the pandemic you may want to bring extras if you want entertainment.
A welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread and juice would have been welcome - especially for those, like us, who had had a 24 hour journey by car. With check in at 6pm it does mean that there is no time to go and find a supermarket and you will need to stock up before you arrive.
The pool is particularly lovely (and heated) and we made much use of this every day. It has beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. It is worth noting, as it is not particularly clear from the listing, that this is a shared facility with the owner and his grandchildren who used it when we weren't (even if we were still around the property) and this meant we didn't always feel as secluded and private as we would have liked.
We had a wonderful stay. Close to shops and only an hour's drive to Carcassonne. Thank you!
