A very pleasant week!

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at this beautiful cottage. The location feels remote ( a lovely little village with a gorgeous backdrop of hills & mountains) but is a short ten minute drive to get everything you might need. We loved the terrace (& the sun!) But could also imagine it is a lovely autumn and winter retreat. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous week

The house is beautiful and very much lives up to expectations. I do not know exactly how old it is, but every beam and wall whispers history. Extremely comfortable with all the things you could possibly want provided. The view from the terrace is breathtaking and the locations is quiet, but accessible to shops, attractions and main roads. Thanks you, Clare. We will definitely be back!

Disappointing

It must be pointed out that the Gite is not suitable for the elderly or those who have trouble with stairs. Only 1 flight is shown in the photograph when there are 2 lots of stairs to negoiate. Some of the floors have different levels. The one in the bedroom is lethal. The wiring is a sight to behold! On the plus side it does have lovely views from the terrace. We were not very impressed with the area either which was a shame.

A quaint little house in a peaceful old village

This was the second time we have stayed at Claire's cottage and it was just as lovely second time around. We liked the rustic and simple qualities of the furnishings and were impressed with the upgraded bathroom. The stair arrangement is much better and the kitchen has been improved too without changing the 'feel' of the place. There's everything you need in the place and it is cosy, comfortable and quiet. It's lovely having the sound of the village fountain just outside the window. The patio is a great suntrap and totally private when seated - a great place from which to survey the lovely woods and countryside and watch the swifts and swallows wheeling overhead. A couple of things that would improve being there - the patio decking is starting to warp and could do with some attention; could maybe benefit from some more hooks to hang things in the bathroom and maybe somewhere to place toiletry bags on; the house notes include instructions to put out recyclable items on a particular night, which we and some others did but it was not collected (either things have changed or there was a strike - maybe check this is still being done). Overall we loved staying there, loved exploring the nearby towns and villages (wonderful market in Esperaza and again in Mirepoix, which itself is worth a visit). There are so many lovely walks in this area and we enjoyed several new to us on this visit. The orchids and other wildflowers in the meadows are stunning, as are the birds, butterflies and other wildlife. There's a good supermarket and boulangerie/patisserie 20mins drive away in Coiuza, a couple of cafe/bars to eat out in Rennes les Bains and the hotel in Sougraine serves lovely meals to non residents (need to book). A very good place from which to explore and soak up the character of L'Occitanie.

Petit cocon de déconnexion

Localisation et petite maison de pierre idéale pour se plonger dans le calme, repos tout en profitant des merveilles de la région des châteaux cathares. Spacieux, cuisine bien équipée, literie de très bonne qualité, petit poêle à bois performant, terrasse abritée face à la montagne. Seule remarque, a savoir pour les personnes de haute taille: il y a deux portes et une poutre au dessus du lit pour lesquelles il faut bien se baisser pour passer (réflexe à attraper ou sérieuses bosses à assumer 😉).

Typisches Steinhaus, in ruhiger Umgebung

2 Wochen mit häufigem Regen, was der Natur nach langer Dürre im Vorjahr sichtlich gut tat. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet,besonders in der Küche bleiben fast keine Wünsche offen. Trotz der Abgeschiedenheit guter Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen in der näheren Umgebung. Für Ausflüge in die Hochpyrenäen oder für eine Fahrt mit dem "Petit Train Jaune" muss man viel Anfahrtszeit einkalkulieren.

Rückzug in die Stille

Stimmiges Ambiente ohne Schnickschnack im und außer des Hauses. Nur die niedrigen Balken im Schlafabteil machten uns zu schaffen. Man sollte die am zweiten Balken belassenen Ast-Ansätze abschleifen, zumal ärztliche Versorgung und Möglichkeiten eine Wunde zu nähen kaum erreichbar erscheinen. Wir haben uns dennoch sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cocooning

Charmant petit village dans la montagne, la location est charmante dans le style de Clare, qui est à l'écoute et répondant rapidement à tout nos messages. Nous y reviendrons sûrement car la région est riche de découvertes, culturelles, gastronomies😋et que dire de tout ses villages plus beaux que les uns des autres.

lovely home in a very cute and quiet village

We very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage feels like a proper house, well decorated and furnished and equipped with a personal touch. It is clean, comfortable and has everything you need and more. The view from the terrace is wonderful (we saw deer and eagles just while having dinner), and there is great walking and biking directly from the house, as well as dips in the river. The area around the village is beautiful, with lush forests and rivers and mountains and interesting castles. We found some lovely cafes and restaurants in towns in the area. There are no shops in the village unfortunately so you do need a car.

Charmant petit cottage au calme dans un petit village de montagne

Sympathique gîte très bien équipé. Il ne manque juste qu'un four micro-onde (très utile en vacances). Sinon il y a vraiment tout ce dont on a besoin. Comme à la maison! Le village est très calme et les vues sont superbes. Nous sommes des habitués des gîtes en France, et pour nous celui-ci est sans doute un des meilleurs que nous ayons fréquenté au niveau rapport qualité/prix, bien qu'il soit sur 3 niveaux. Il faut juste faire un peu attention à la poutre dans la chambre!

Excellentes vacances grâce à un gite hyper sympathique

Chère Clare Nous avons quitté Sougraigne il y a 8 jours déjà mais la semaine qui a suivi a été si occupée que je manquais de temps pour vous dire nos impressions de cette semaine dans votre charmante maison. Oui, charmante pour des vacances. Certes nous sommes grands et nos fronts ou nos nuques ont rencontré parfois vigoureusement les poutres de la porte d'entrée ou de la terrasse. Mais quelle agréable maison pour se reposer entre deux châteaux cathares escaladés. Je ne résiste pas à vous dire le bien que nous disions chaque matin à propos de l'équipement mis à la disposition de tous : "Et en plus, on a le choix des cafetières !". Ça c'est de l'attention bien agréable qui témoigne que chaque invité est pris en considération. Mme Lutz est un modèle de discrétion (nous ne l'avons vue qu'au téléphone) et de gentillesse (elle a posté pour nous un objet oublié). Merci pour ce séjour dans un village qui a gardé son aspect bien rural. Merveille du panier d'oeufs à vendre dans le couloir de la mairie 😊. Solange

Une vieille maison pour découvrir la région

Une vieille maison avec beaucoup de charme, des murs blanchis à chaux, des planchers qui grincent, un aménagement sympa, confortable, efficace, au top, et surtout une terrasse qui en cette période de très forte chaleur était inutilisable en journée, mais quel bonheur le soir de découvrir le ciel étoilé de ce mois d'Août

Fabulous cottage in beautiful quiet location

Loved the property, the location and the area so much that we booked again for next year before we even got back home! The cottage is in a secluded hamlet, with a balcony overlooking the Pyrenean foothills, and a kitchen looking onto the village square and fountain. It is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, an eclectic array of books and dvds, and well furnished. The surrounding area is perfect if you want a mix of sites (castles, mountain villages, and of course Carcassonne), hiking, rivers to swim in, and some fantastic (if a little hilly) cycling routes. We stayed a week this year, and have re-booked for 2 more next, and already have a long list of things we wish we had done (in between relaxing). The house is a little out-of-the-way - nearest morning bread is 4km away - and the locals filling their watering cans at the fountain the square in the evening is the most hustle-and-bustle you all see, but as a reprieve from London-life, for us that was perfect. And finally, Clare (the owner) was extremely friendly and helpful and provided lots of useful information.

Beautiful French Country Cottage

We spent a fabulous short break during October / November in this beautiful stone cottage ideally located to enjoy the scenic walks in the foothills of the Pyrenees, taking in the beautiful scenery. We visited the little village of Rennes-les-Bains and the famous church at Rennes-le-Chateau and also enjoyed a day at the famous walled city of Carcassone. The house has a lovely living area with an open fireplace, perfect for the evenings and the well equipped kitchen meant that we were able to cook well and sample plenty of the local wines whilst enjoying the open fire. In the mornings we were lucky enough with the weather, to be able to sit and enjoy the great views from the large, sunny roof terrace. The peace and tranquility of the village was just what we wanted and is certainly somewhere we would recommend and plan to visit again.

What a lovely cottage, clean and well equipped. So peaceful with great views from the sun terrace. Plenty of places of interest to visit not to mention walks virtually from the doorstep. A place you would enjoy through all four seasons.

The house is very cosy and comfortable. Everything you could need has been thought of and the owner and her local contacts are very welcoming and helpful. The village is incredibly peaceful and pretty. A perfect spot from where we could explore wonderful countryside and the fascinating history of the area.
