Description from owner

Description

A very well equipped superb gite with own patio, BBQ and terrrace. The Gite has been granted the highest rating for its size by the Meubles de Tourisme - Trois étoiles. Great location for visiting the Cathar chateaux, Mediteranean, Spain, Carcassonne and surrounding countryside. There are no shortages of things to do and places to visit. Markets held daily in all the different villages / towns. Golf course at Carcasssonne and several others in the region.

Surrounded by vines at the edge of a village with a fabulous Boulangerie, Bar and a restaurant yet close to other amenities. Great for walking, relaxing and recharging those batteries,

In the grounds of British owners who will respect your privacy. We have been successfully running the gite business here since April 2004 and are open all year around.

Efficient electric wall heaters in all rooms for all year round letting making it a cosy place to stay in winter. Plenty of walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching at any time of the year.

“Canal View - a great cottage in a pretty location”

Reviewed 14 Aug 2011

Canal view cottage is a clean, well equiped cottage in a fantastic area of France. Pauline and Ken are wonderfully, friendly and helpful hosts. The lock in front of the house is busy and it is fun to watch the novices trying to negotiate it! The village of Marseillette is quiet but does have a bar and the cakes at the boulangerie are simply delicious. Next to Canal View is a small hotel where you can eat- great for convenience. There are many interesting places to visit nearby- our favourites were Carcassonne and Narbonne.
