Tennis courts are available in the village and there are often local 'fetes' to enjoy more wines and local produce. Behind the house is often the place for live music performances and on the outskirts of the village is a theatre for dance and other local performers to show off their abilities. the nearby town of lezignan has all you need, several supermarkets including aldi and on wednesday is the very large market for a wonderful selection of local produce. at weekends there are great 'vide greniers' where you can pick up an array of items.

Idéalement situé, chaleureusement décoré et très cosy. Nous avons été charmés par l’atmosphère du village. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et le monsieur qui nous attendait sur place l’est tout autant. Mon chien était le bienvenu dans ce gîte, ce qui a vraiment été l’élément décisif lors de la réservation. À 5 mètres du gîte se trouve un super restaurant « Chez Bembe », en deux pas vous aurez la possibilité de partager un excellent repas riche en produits du terroir accompagné du vin de votre souhait. Idéal pour les gens aimant visiter les alentours, la situation géographique de Ferrals nous a permis de nous balader à Carcassonne, Narbonne, Gruissan. Sans oublier le petit Village de Lagrasse qui a été par dessus tout mon préféré! En conclusion, merci aux propriétaires pour cette location de qualité. Nous avons adoré notre séjour. ##### lara k.

Chaque pièce a un esprit, et on se sent tout de suite bien et chez soi. Le village est très bien situé (5minutes de l'autoroute) pour visiter la région. Il faut aller goûter les grillades de Bempé au bout de la rue! La cour arborée et fleurie apporte un peu de fraîcheur quand il fait très chaud, et comme les murs sont très épais la maison reste fraiche au rez-de-chaussée et au premier; Les étages du dessus sont très agréables, il manque simplement des volets ou des stores, pour la nuit et pour minimiser les grosses chaleurs (des volets intérieurs peut-être?). Très bon wifi qui permet d'envisager sereinement un séjour de travail. En résumé une belle maison où il fait bon vivre au cœur d'un village vivant, nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir. ##### Adélaïde G.

A terrific relaxing stay. Flexibility on check in and check out times also really enhanced the stay. ##### Conall P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert J. 30 Aug 2018 #### Jolie maison, bien rénovée et aménagée de bon gout La maison est située au milieu de la village et pourtant un endroit très tranquille. La cuisine, les salles des bains et tout les chambres sont rénovées juste professionell, mésurer généreux et aménagées de plusieurs meubles et autres pièces iconographique pour les décades passées. Surtout les lampes de chevet, les chaises et le canapé dans le rez-d‘chaussée sont merveilleux. Andrew nous a fournit d‘informations utilisable et toujour à l‘heure; très agréable! Aussi sa gouvernante Sam était amicale, prévenant et cordiale. Ma femme et moi, nous avons passés trois ou quattre journées merveilleuses dans cette déstination avec son ombreuse cours et cette village jolie au milieu de nombreuses vignobles, domaines et dégustation du vin. Merveilleux! ##### Robert J. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie H. 4 Jul 2018 #### Excellent accommodation in central village location We stayed as a group of 11 over a long weekend to attend a family wedding. The three properties, connected by the outdoor space, worked so well for our extended family. The properties are well equipped with good quality fixtures, fittings, furnishings and appliances. The village has a supermarket, bakery, newsagent and a couple of restaurants all within a very short walking distance. Extremely comfortable inside and the outdoor area enabled very sociable evenings. ##### Jackie H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth E. 25 Jun 2018 #### Cute rental in a quaint and kind little French town. In the sweet little town of Ferrals-Les-Corbières, you'll find this rustic, yet modern rental, with quiet nights and bustling days. The rental is cool even though un-airconditioned. We especially loved the "patio." Perfect tea pot and french press. The WIFI was very reliable and strong. A few things to be aware of: There a few plug-ins in the house (none in the bathrooms) and the parking is a fun search upon return back to town. Very close is Lézignan-Corbières. On the way there are large grocery stores (the market on Wednesdays shouldn't be missed) and great shopping. 20 minutes away to the North is Carcassonne and 10 minutes more North is Toulouse. 15/20 minutes to the South you'll find Narbonne and 5 minutes more the coast (we like Chalet beach). There are many wineries very close (including Maylandie - a MUST!) and even more with in a 15 minute drive (check out Abbaye Fontfroide, Famille Fabre and Château Grand Caumont). There are 2 excellent and highly recommended restaurants (Bembe, across the street, for grilled food and La Crimiti for fine dining). The people in the Grocery and Tobac and super helpful. The most important thing to us was the community of lovely people that treated us like family. Everyone greets you kindly and wants to talk. On Father's Day, we were blessed to participate in a town event of a walk through the vineyards (this included pastries & coffee and a snack mid-walk) and lunch. The president of the walking club joined us and showed us special sites and breath-taking views of the area. At lunch, we were greeted and welcomed warmly, then joined in the delicious 4 course lunch and drank and talked with everyone. At the end, amongst the singing and merriment, the Mayor's wife gave us a painting by a local artist. We were deeply moved and will never forget our experience in F-L-C! ##### Beth E. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica H. 14 Jun 2018 #### A gem! A really lovely place. We stayed for 3 nights, the owners were so helpful in the lead up and allowed us to arrive and leave at any time. The place is beautiful and so interesting to look around! Very clean and there was lots of communal space. We had a great stay. Thanks so much ##### Jessica H.
