About this cottage rental

Perched on a hilltop and offering a wonderful view of the Black Mountains to the east and a fantastic panoramic view of the Pyrenees to the south, this sympathetically restored and well appointed stone farm cottage is the perfect destination for those looking to get away from it all, and the ideal spot to explore the South West region with its excellent tourist and sporting attractions.
This old stone farm building has been sympathetically restored to an exceptionally high standard, maintaining many traditional features including exposed beams and stone walls, but with the modern comforts of air-conditioning and heating throughout. A large stone fireplace and wood-burning stove are the focal points of the lower living accommodation.


Leisure at the cottage: If your idea of a perfect holiday doesn't involve going very far then the cottage is just right for you. The fully alarmed 8 x 4 mtr swimming pool is next to a large sun terrace fully equipped with dining table, chairs, parasols and sun beds. The large garden area is big enough for kids to runaround in but close enough for you to keep and eye on them. Inside the cottage there is a TV with UK free-view channels, a DVD player with a large selection of movies, a bluetooth speaker and a large selection of books and games to help while away the long lazy days.

Leisure away from the cottage: Locally there are tennis courts, riding schools, golf courses, windsurfing, quad biking, canoeing, jet skiing, cross country running and fishing. We are happy to arrange lessons or day trips for any of these activities during your stay.

The many vineyards of the Gaillac region are only 30 minutes away and slightly further afield, but well worth the extra effort, are the Minervois, Cahor, Madiran and Corbière regions. We can recommend vineyards to visit and wine to buy during your stay.

Forty minutes away is the city of Toulouse, known as the ‘Pink City’ because of the colour of brick from which it is built, with its many historical attractions; The Capitole Square, St. Sernin Basilica, St. Etienne Cathedral and many museums. For the kids, a trip to the Citi d’Espace, the European Space Park shouldn’t be missed.

Just under an hour away you have the historical site of Carcassonne - a must for anyone travelling to the area.


Where to eat: There are plenty of good restaurants to help you discover the many culinary delights of the region, and our fully comprehensive welcome book gives details of all of them.

If you enjoy cooking while you have the time away, we grow our own fruit and veg in the garden which is available for guests to enjoy. Nearby farms sell their own produce including chicken, duck, fowl, lamb and cheese, and the Saturday Lavaur market is a treat for all the senses.

We had a superb week in the house. The house itself was fantastic. It was comfortably the most well equipped place we have stayed in - everything has been thought of (including some pool toys that the boys enjoyed). Karen and Ian were perfect hosts, they left us to our own devices, but were always happy to share ideas on places to visit, goodies from their garden, and thoughts on the coming rugby season. The pool (completely private, secluded and sole use) was beautiful, with an impressive view as a backdrop. Thanks for a lovely week - we hope to return one day.

A wonderful cottage in a fabulous location. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, from the warm and friendly welcome to the much needed swimming pool. We loved our stay so much, thank you

We recently spent a wonderful week at this delightful gîte between Toulouse and Castres and couldn't have been happier with our stay. From the moment we arrived, Karen and Ian welcomed us warmly, treating us like family with their genuine hospitality.The gîte's setting is peaceful and calming, providing an ideal escape from daily life. The stunning hilltop surroundings in natural beauty are perfect for relaxation, with plenty of opportunities for scenic walks including a nearby lake. The pool was a definite highlight, offering a refreshing dip or ideal setting to unwind and soak up the tranquil environment while watching the swallows dipping and diving. The accommodation itself is beautifully finished and fully equipped with everything we needed, creating a comfortable and homely atmosphere. The thoughtful touches such from the hosts, such as honey from own bee hives and wild garlic from the veggie patch, to going the extra mile on restaurant recommendations, truly added to our overall enjoyment.Centrally located, the gîte allowed us to explore both Toulouse and Castres easily making it the ideal base camp (especially for rugby fans if you want to catch a Top14 or European game!)Thanks to Karen and Ian's considerate hosting, our stay has left a wonderful impression and great memories. We’re already looking forward to returning!Laura, Roger, Jane & Stew x

We as a small family of three people, me, my wife Fatima, and 17 year old son Robin, had a perfect stay in this very well restaurated cottage in a very quiet part of the Occitany. The swimming pool was a welcome extra when it was very hot, like 34 degrees in juli, and we got a nice tan, after a lesser hot week in cloudy Brittany. Everything in the house was very well thought after and the hosts Ian and his wife Karen where very very kind and knew a lot about the region and its villages! They gave us fantastic tips of really top not too expensive restaurants here! If you love quietness and country life like it was 100 years ago, and just go out and visit beautifull villages like Albi, Castres and bastides like Penne and many others you should go! We stayed in different cottages in many countries in Europe but this one ranks among the best! My compliments, Herman and Fatima
