Description from owner

Description

In the foothills of the Pyrenees, surrounded by orchards and wildflower meadows, our beautifully restored 3 bedroom cottage on the peaceful village square offers you quintessential rural France. Stylishly appointed, family friendly accommodation, the mix of old and new is delightful. Dine to the sound of cowbells on your private roof terrace or in the old square by the church. A ground floor double bedroom with WC leads to a secret courtyard garden, just big enough for a table for 2. A further double room and twin room with 2 single beds on the 2nd floor, offer privacy to families and friends.

Close to medieval Mirepoix for its lively weekly market and less than an hour from magnificent Carcassonne. Go "wild" swimming in the warm waters of the lovely lakes of Montbel and Puivert. A great base for walking, cycling, exploring vineyards, Cathar chateaux and pre-historic caves. Lots of parking, free WiFi and welcome goodies, baby equipment on request. Guests are welcome to use the facilities of our B&B next door. Dinner is served every evening, Nick's food has great reviews, traditional French home cooking with a fine dining twist. Just ask if you require gluten or dairy free.
