About this cottage rental
Domaine de la Barre is the perfect getaway, it offers a lovely retreat to relax and enjoy the beautiful French countryside whilst still being within easy distance of all the places of interest. The gite is detached from the owners property giving a sense of privacy but the reassurance that the owners are close by if needed. Recently renovated the property offers a high standard of accommodation and it benefits from a large private terrace with stunning views over the pool and surrounding countryside. Please feel free to make use of the large pool, covered terrace, summer kitchen, expansive gardens and the countryside beyond. There is also ample parking for cars. Locally you have the choice of many fine restaurants, sightseeing, water sports, golf, and other activities, not forgetting the world famous Carcassonne city and the canal du midi made famous by Rick Stein's adventures. Domaine de la Barre is just 25 minutes from Carcassonne airport and a stones throw away from many fascinating cultural and historical sights. If you're interested in history you can visit the Cathar castles and monuments of the region and learn more about it's intriguing past.
We've got the beautiful Lac Montbel nearby where you can swim or take advantage of the water sports on offer, the pedalos with a slide are great fun! Horse riding is also available round the lake. Just 15 minutes from us at Bram is a teleski business set on a lake, where you can water-ski, it's a really good way to pass an afternoon. The lake at Carcassonne offers swimming, water sports, accrobranching and of course the inflatable park (brilliant!) so there's plenty to keep you entertained.
You can be on the beach within an hour enjoying the lovely atmosphere of the French coastal resorts or heading an hour in the opposite direction you can discover the Pyrenees and the stunning scenery of the mountain resorts and their picturesque towns.
The lovely medieval town of Mirepoix is only 15 minutes away, where you can find excellent restaurants and it's Monday morning market is well worth a visit.
For wine enthusiasts out there, Limoux, just 20 minutes away is the home of Blanquette, with many good local vineyards nearby you can pass away a few hours sampling the local wines.
There's plenty to keep you busy whatever your interests and I'm sure that you'll love exploring this beautiful part of France.

Our home for the 2 weeks was wonderful, just as shown in photos, very clean and the bed was so comfy.The pool was great, pity the weather didnt hold up.Sarah was a fantastic host, always their to answer any questions either in person or on the phone/text with lots of recommendations too. Will tell all our friends. As it says the property is in the middle of fields so a car is needed to explore. 10/10 all round

What a wonderful stay we had with Sarah. Communication with Sarah was quick and friendly, and check in was straightforward. The gite was perfectly clean, and so well equiped. They had a travel cot, highchair and all sorts of other bits and bibs for our little ones to enjoy. The setting itself was beautiful, well into the countryside and so peaceful. We loved playing in the gardens and in the pool. Everything was so well kept and cared for. Plenty to see and do in the local area, but car definitely needed to get anywhere. The wifi was patchy on occasion but only to be expected when you’re so rural, and never a problem for us. Would absolutely recommend a stay with Sarah.

We had a wonderful, relaxing weeks stay at Domaine de La Barre. The setting is idyllic and the gite was exceptionally clean and tidy with everything we could have needed at hand. Our hosts were great and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. They were extremely knowledgeable on the area, places to visit and recommendations on places to eat. A great place to stay, relax and unwind!
