“A wonderful experience.” The chateau, full of history, is beautifully situated in the village of Saint-Martory on the river bank of the Garonne surrounded by a perfect French landscape and with the view of the Pyrenées Mountains. We have had great pleasure staying there twice and we really do recommand the place.

“Superb family house and superb location- thanks for a fabulous h” In spite of a late arrival with small very tired kids and a small miscommunication on key location to gain access to the property (promptly sorted by local rep 'Jess'), we were all thrilled when we saw inside Maison Cruzy. It is an extremely spacious and light property very tastefully decked out to a high standard. There were 4 double bedrooms, 2 of which had adjoining rooms with daybed - ideal for families and 3 bathrooms all kitted out with power showers. There are 2 sitting rooms with an expansive selection of Dvd's for both kids & adults which was a godsend on the bad weather days. The property has a fantastic layout with a small walled courtyard attached to kitchen - ideal for al fresco dining, leading on to a massive barn which was a haven for the kids (and adults too!) during our stay. Filled with badminton court, table tennis, pool table, darts, boxing bag... We had lots of fun playing in here and even did a 'mini Olympics' for the kids. There are many bikes and helmets available to use and although not ideal for small children, the adults had a wonderful time doing some road biking in the beautiful surrounding villages and vineyards. The pool is set within a high walled garden, gets the sun all day and yet is well protected from any wind. It was unseasonably cool during our stay and the pool is not heated but this didn't seem to prevent the kids from enjoying a splash. Cruzy is a small town but had a local boulangerie for fresh croissants/bread each morning as well as a small grocery store. There are a couple of lovely restaurants within the locality 10 drive away, Terminus highly recommended. The surrounding areas are fantastic - there really is something for everyone... 1/2 hr drive from beaches, 45 mins from Carcassonne, vineyards everywhere, roquebrun for mountains, walking & kayaking and some of the best road biking we've ever done! Paddy, Emer, Jess & Miles were very accessible and helpful with lots of a advice/recommendations. A superb holiday!

“A DELIGHTFUL SETTING FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE” We found this beautifully maintained house, modern but in the French style, quiet yet perfectly situated for travel though South West France. We visited Carcasonne,Toulouse, Narbonne, Andorra, the Western Riviera, even Barcelona Spain, easily by car from there in a day, finding the Limoux house a delight to return to and relax in after sightseeing. Accomodation for families, or up to four couples, makes the house very affordable, yet it has the feeling of a very intimate and special place. Its small but private grounds, plus the scenery and many fine restaurants in Limoux itself, make it an ideal place for a holiday: one we intend to repeat just as soon as we can.

“Great house and greta town” I really enjoyed our stay at your house. The house is in a wonderful part of the town, so close to everything. I could park my car just near the front of the house then walk to a bakery and a restaurant of our choice, how good are the restaurants in the town. The house was so comfortable but the best part for me anyway was the courtyard and terrace. For my wife she couldn't stop raving about the new kitchen and bathroom. Congratulations on the house and we have already planned to stay there within the next year.

“A wonderful holiday” Superb accommodation in beautiful surroundings with wonderful views. A very warm welcome by extremely helpful hosts and their family who ensured our time was memorable, No detail was too small, including buying food for our arrival, a delicious cake for a seventieth birthday celebration as well as ferrying us to and from an excellent local restaurant. No-one could ask for more. This will be a holiday we both will remember. I have no hesitation in recommending this gite to our friends. It was very special, thanks to the care and attention Will and his family gives to this enterprise.

“Chez Nick and Carolyn” What a find! Charming little B&B; just 50mins south-west of Carcassonne. Listen to the tinkling of the cow bells as you doze off to sleep after Nick's delicious four course evening meals and local wines, all sourced locally. Carolyn has all thought of everything from the hairdryer and cotton wool in the bathroom, to the eclectic selection of CDs. We loved our stay and came home wishing we were still sitting in the village square soaking up the sun and enjoying the friendship of our hosts.

“A very enjoyable holiday” This area of France is very scenic with scope to sample many things. Andorra is about 1 hr 45 mins away and a great place for an overnight stay with fab duty free shoping, had an enjoyable ski lift ride also! About an hour and a half away is Roses in spain - a nice marina resort with lots of interesting "gin palaces" to oggle! In the very near locality is many interesting places to visit, ie Villefrance, Eus, and superb beaches are to be found nearby at Perpignon. Apartment itself was spacious and light and the facilities very good. The welcome from the owner who lives nearby was excellent and very friendly, cooked us dinner on the first night and shared several of his bottles of wine with us, our holiday so busy we did not get to repay the nice gesture - however if you are reading this Padraigh - thank you very much!!! Weather was fab 32 -39 degrees every day - was a shock to come back to England which was cold, drab and grey. Will definately go back to this area of France again and would have no hesitation in staying at this apartment again - a very enjoyable holiday!

“una vacanza fantastica” E' un appartamento tranquillo, molto pulito, e a due passi dai ristoranti, le piccole botteghe, il mercato e il fiume. Limoux poi e' un punto perfetto per visitare sia la costa che la parte montana della zona. L'appartamento e' stato ristrutturato di recente, percio' la cucina, il bagno, le imposte, la camera, era tutto nuovissimo! I proprietari sono delle persone squisite e tra l'altro parlano inglese. Ci hanno potuto consigliare i luoghi da non perdere e i vini doc della zona. Incantevole, non vediamo l'ora di ritornare per il carnevale!

“Peace and Quiet in the Country” La Maison Bleue is an oasis of calm in the hamlet of Sonnac sur L'Hers. It is easy to find and delightful to return to each day after touring. The house has lovely outdoor spaces in front of the dwelling or on the back terrace overlooking hills and fields with sheep and cows. Very restful. Interior space is good, beds are comfortable and linens of top quality. Our hosts left us farm fresh eggs, bread, milk, tea and coffee to get us started as well as olive oil, herbs and balsamic vinegar in the cupboards. Fresh flowers adorned the dining table. There is a good selection of Dvd's should you wish to stay home of an evening and catch a feel good film. If you wish, Nigel will make you dinner at the next door B&B.; It's a very good deal! Carolyn is a charming hostess. I recommend this vacation home to anyone who enjoys a tranquil holiday.

“Idyllic” Beautiful and tranquil setting. Wonderful accommodation, we stayed in the Rouge gite. Attractive decor and excellent amenities to enable a carefree and relaxing holiday. Amazing countryside and the surrounding villages are interesting and picturesque.

“Perfect, quiet, calm get away easy to access by public transport” We spent 5 nights in Red y Pink and it wasn't long enough! The whole experience was wonderfully relaxing and the family were very helpful. We had a bbq almost every night sitting on our decking, enjoying the fantastic views across fields filled with sunflowers that were starting to flower. The accommodation had everything we needed, was tastefully done out and was comfortable and private. The pool area is lovely, with lots of bees and butterflies enjoying the fragrant lavender that surrounds it. We enjoyed meeting the dog and one of the cats and loved how peaceful the area was. The best thing was that we were able to get there and away without hiring a car, for only 14 euros each return. It was a very easy shuttle bus from Toulouse airport to the central bus station then the 57 bus all the way to Beauville then a 15 minute walk to the gite. We used the local bus to explore Revel, Lac Saint-Ferreol and Saint Felix, where there was a fantastic restaurant on the main square (ask Will for the name). We've already started recommending Chateau de Montoussel to friends and family.
