Wonderful place to stay--what a find!!

This cottage is a gem!! The property is very well kept, clean and comfortable. It is very spacious with lots of room for being together, as well as spaces to get away by oneself. There is a wonderful balcony off the sitting room that is shady with a comfortable outdoor sofa and chairs to enjoy, which we did. The owner has added many personal touches to add to your comfort--extremely comfortable seating in the sitting room; bed and bathroom linens very large and of good quality. It was VERY hot during our first few days in Carcassonne, and the air conditioner did an amazing job of cooling the entire cottage. The kitchen is very well stocked with appliances and dishes to cook meals; the refrigerator very spacious; dishwasher works well. Beds were very comfortable; bed and bathroom linens clean and very good quality and size. The location of the property is great--a very pleasant 10 minute walk from the train station and the business/shopping section of town. Many very nice restaurants are within a short walking distance. Grocery stores relatively close by. Located across the road from the Canal du Midi, it was so fun to watch all of the canal boats make their way up and down the canal. The cottage is located on a road linking you to major roads out of town, if you drive to Carcassonne, and there is very convenient parking along side the cottage or across the road. Night noise from passing traffic very minimal. We slept well. Just a wonderful experience staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Hopeakoski

My name is Eileen. I live in France with my daughter and my Shar Pei, Ulla. For all my life I have always been interested in the hospitality business - having been an airhostess for 20 years and an owner of a B&B in Portsmouth, England for five years which won Four in a Bed in 2013 - I couldn't simply just retire to France and be idle. I decided to turn my French cottage into a beautiful holiday dream by the Canal du Midi.

Why they chose this property

Carcassonne was my first choice when moving to France, as it was an ideal place to settle. It is an incredibly relaxed city however, it is so full of life.

The area is full of ancient history, an interesting culture mixed with French and Spanish and plenty of things to do which have kept my daughter and I entertained all year around. Our Summer starts in April and ends in September so there's always time to visit the sun while other parts of the world are still gloomy.

Canal cottage is an open window away from the Canal du Midi, a mere 20 minute walk to the castle and 10 minutes to the city centre. We are one hour from Toulouse. There is parking always available outside the property.

What makes this property unique

Despite how relaxing it is here - there is plenty to do and to see. Carcassonne Castle, the exquisite French restaurants, the Canal du Midi, the annual music festival and the smaller fétes which happen all year round such as wine tasting, local cheese fares, and a tribute to the Spanish which consists of a lot of dancing and sangria.

Additionally we're close to other popular French cities such as Toulouse, Narbonne, Montpellier and Perpignan which make a great day out that can be easily visited by train which is only a five minute walk from the cottage.

Canal Cottage is 15 minutes drive from the local airport where rental cars and bicycles are available, if you tell me beforehand I can pick you up.
