Guest comments
We visited the house in June. Nice place, full of character. Not modern and clinical like many places we have stayed in. Hope we can return again. JS
'We have just returned from our holiday and just wanted to let everyone know how much we enjoyed our stay. The drive from Toulouse was hassle free as the roads are modern with very little traffic, the journey time to the village was approx 1hr 30 mins. The property is set in a beautiful sleepy village. The house itself is great for families or groups alike, very spacious and decorated in a traditional but modern French style. The main living room is great, it has a bar and a fridge behind to stock all the cold beers!' Stuart Foster. Knock Travel.
A great house. We will return again. S Elliott.
We returned in September, it was our 2nd visit to the house. We loved it even more with the heated pool. Brilliant. J Cooper.
