We had our two dogs with us and they were made very welcome. The pool is wonderful especially on a really hot day. James held a pizza ngt for both Gites and they were excellent especially with the carafe of wine that you could order with itThe only negative is that at this time there is no air conditioning but James assures me this will be done next yearThe Canal De Midi is right outside the front of the house and is great for walking, biking and boating. Marseillette is a small town with one bar, so a car is definitely needed to get about Can highly recommend staying with Sam and James ##### Alison L.

Great location by the Canal du Midi, which has a cycle route alongside. We cycled in both directions, and another day took the bikes by car to cycle further away. Also good access to Carcassonne and supermarkets by car. Comfortable gite, looks just like the photos. Enough kitchen equipment and a three-ring induction hob for eating in. Good-sized fridge and freezer. Despite being quite windy during our stay we still managed to use the table tennis table and the pool. Quiet and relaxing place to stay. ##### Paula E.

Carcassonne and the beaches near Narbonne, are easily accessible on excellent roads. The village is quite tranquil, with a little shop open part of the day and a busy cafe serving good food throughout. There is a wide choice of supermarkets with the nearest just a few miles away and more than adequate. The house is tastefully furnished and has everything you could possibly require. The grounds are wide, well tended and ideal for relaxing in with plenty of high standard garden furniture. The pool is immaculate. ##### kenneth p.

It was ideal for us as we took our 2 dogs. Being right on the Canal de Midi it was ideally placed for dog walks, cycling etc. The local bar is a10 minute walk away and we used it regularly. There are plenty of restaurants within a short drive. We can highly recommend and will be returning ##### Alison L.

The location is ideal if you have a baby as its near the airport but still quiet and peaceful. We really liked being next to the canal as you can go straight out for walks on the towpaths with the buggy and little one loved the watching the ducks being fed and adults enjoyed watching the boats navigate the canal. The cottage is well equipped and Pauline and Ken provided a travel cot for baby along with plenty of advice on the local area. We had a lovely week and would definitely go back again - late autumn was just right temperature wise as well, enough sun for us but not too hot for baby. Mark, Fran and Isabel.

It is clean and well cared-for with everything you need for a short break. The swimming pool was fabulous and we enjoyed swimming even in mid-October. The outdoor table tennis was great fun. Anne Marie and Adrian are good, discreet hosts. The setting on the canal du midi is lovely and there are nice views from the garden. We visited Carcassonne and the coast around Perpignan during our stay. The village has an excellent boulangerie but was quiet when we were there outside peak season. There were three adults on our trip and we had all we needed. The shower is brilliant! The cottage is excellent value for money and just as described in the advert. ##### Lucille M.

The property was very clean and had all the equipment you need. The outside decking area is a sun trap all day long but if you need shade then the covered area is ideal. The pool and sunbathing area were very clean with plenty of sun loungers. Marseillette is a quiet village with only one bar/restaurant but there is a pizza van, burger van and curry delivery on certain days of the week. The supermarket in Capendu nearby is about a five to ten minute drive away. Other supermarkets are in Trebes which is about fifteen minutes by car. You can drive to Carcassone centre within twenty five minutes and there are even larger supermarkets nearby. Overall, we had a lovely stay and Adrian and Ann-Marie were very good hosts who both suggested places of interest and were available if needed. We would recommend the gite to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay with lovely walks on your doorstep up and down the Canal du Midi. ##### Jo B.

James und Samantha waren perfekte Gastgeber. Das Apartment ist sehr schön und gemütlich und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Außenbereich und die Terrasse sind bestens ausgestattet und sehr groß man kann hier sowohl in der Sonne als auch im Schatten verweilen. Die Lage ist als Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen oder für eine Fahrt an den Strand ebenfalls sehr gut geeignet. Ich werde dieses Apartment gerne wieder buchen und freue mich meine Gastgeber hoffentlich bald wieder zu sehen. Inzwischen ganz herzliche Grüße und vielen Dank für alles, Alexandra ##### Alexandra V.

Au pied de l'écluse c'est le départ privilégié de ballade à vélo le long du canal. La piscine est super et nous a permis de nous détendre et de nous amuser en famille. Le gîte est parfait pour une famille de 4, propre et tout confort avec une terrasse agréable donnant sur le beau jardin. Je recommande à 100% ce logement. Merci encore à Anne Marie pour son accueil chaleureux. ##### Aline C.

Emplacement au top Nous avons passé des vacances les plus reposantes et agréables possibles dans cette propriété extrêmement soignée. Tout est bien pensé par les propriétaires charmants et très accueillants. Leur jardin est superbe entre les oliviers et le canal du Midi. Les jeux extérieurs parfaits pour les enfants entre ping-pong, trampoline et balançoire (et les parents aussi!). L’emplacement est idéal, au calme, dans un village agréable, proche de nombreux sites remarquables. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux et repartons avec de magnifiques souvenirs. La portion du canal à cet endroit est superbe (dans les deux sens). Petite auberge juste à côté avec des plats maison excellents. Merci pour les attentions délicates et la qualité de votre gîte à tous les niveaux. A recommander et à refaire! ##### Peggy G. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ---
