Photos and Description of this Cuxac-Cabardes holiday cottage 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4

Our lovely beamed cottage with garden and parking, was renovated in 2005. It sleeps 4 - in one twin bedded room and one double. Situated 20 mins from medieval Carcassonne, with its quaint, narrow, cobbled streets, open-air market, and magnificent walled citadel, film set for Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. Flights direct to Carcassonne are available from Stansted, Liverpool and East Midlands with Ryanair, or into Toulouse with Flybe. The cottage, is in a pretty village, an hour from the Med, and day trips possible to Andorra and Spain. Wonderful walking literally from the door, horse riding, swim in one of the nearby bathing lakes. Perhaps try the “degustations” from some of the local vineyards – this is the most prolific wine-growing region of France, after all. You might take a few bottles back and sit on our balcony with a glass of wine, look out across the wooded valley and watch the buzzards hunt their prey or simply relax with a good book on the terrace in the garden.

It is also a rich source of excellent restaurants, although there are several good restaurants close to the village. Don't miss the Cathar Chateaux of Lastours and Saissac close by, or the Gouffre de Cabrespine, one of the world's largest natural chasms and the Grotte de Limousis, both just 15-20 minutes away. The Mediterranean is just 1 hour away.

Guest Comments: Mrs Filbey: We enjoyed our stay very much. Your cottage is lovely and it was ideal from which to explore the area, even though we did not get to everywhere we planned - there is just so much to do and see in the region and we seemed to be 'going somewhere' every day. Ms Morris: Easter was too short to spend at your lovely cottage, such a pretty and friendly village and so much to do in the area - we will be booking again as soon as we can!

Ulla Attwood Thank you very much for the holiday we had in your cottage in Cuxac Cabardes. We had a wonderful time. The area is very interesting with many places to visit, and of outstanding natural beauty with the mountains, forests and lakes, a walkers’ paradise. ....everyone was friendly towards us........ ....Nothing was too much trouble for Anne, who looks after the cottage, she gave us many tips about where to eat etc. As she is English there was no problem with the language, as I have to admit, with shame, that my French is non-existent.... .... It was the first place we had rented where we could move in and settle down immediately, and not have to run around trying to find a shop where we could get all the little things necessary to make life comfortable. They were already there, nothing was missing. ......I can thoroughly recommend this cottage and the area. We had a great holiday

Other Activities: Caving, winetasting, paper-making, golf in Carcassonne, ancient chateaux and the Canal du Midi

Helliwell Family We had an excellent time at the cottage it is lovely and in such a wonderful location we even popped into the estate agents at the top of the road to see if there was anything we could buy, on reflection though that is something we will now look at maybe in a year or so!! The cottage itself was excellent, clean and very well furnished with a very pleasing amount of space. ....... Your key holder Anne was very helpful and polite. ...... Again I would just like to reiterate how much we enjoyed your cottage and our stay in Cuxac and we have already been recommending it to family and friends. July 06
Meg & John Nicholson We had such a fantastic time. You have a lovely, lovely home - we didn't want to leave. We think Carcassonne is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric places we've ever visited, and the weather was brilliant (27 degrees when we left on Sunday afternoon). The children enjoyed getting out and about - we had some lovely walks in the woods in Cuxac.

Our Autumn Break at Les Coquelicots

Merseysider Wirral
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We found the cottage to be clean and well looked after. The cooking, heating and plumbing facilities were excellent, and parking just down the road was never a problem. There was plenty of space for our needs, and the rear garden was delightful. The instructions in the house, and the tourist information provided were particularly useful. A local English resident welcomed us and ensured that any problems could be resolved. The local grocers and bakers were within walking distance, and Carcassonne was 20 minutes drive away.
I would recommend a holiday here to any friend or relative without hesitation.

May 2009 at Cuxac Cabardes Cottage

Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Although my review is a little late i still have great memories of a wonderful holiday in this quiet,picturesque,rural village. The cottage was lovely,very pretty,spaceous and comfortable. We all loved the garden and patio where we sat most afternoons and evenings in the warm sunshine listening to a cuckoo calling for a mate. I adored the chickens at the back who i kept fed with scraps.
The little shop in the village was well stocked and the people very friendly.
We loved the views of the allotments and the keen gardeners there every day.
We found many walks around the village and up through the woods coming out into fields with lovely views of the countryside.
A must place to visit is Carcassonne with its Fairy Tale Castle and Lastoures with its many small Turrets
We also marvelled at the wonderful array of wild flowers everywhere.
We would recommend the cottage and area to anyone and hope to make a return visit one day.

Cuxac Cabardes Cottage

Paul & Michelle Solihull
Review Submitted: June 24, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful cottage in Cuxac, the immediate surroundings are idyllic and we couldn’t have asked for better accommodation. Not only was it spotless but had everything we could have possibly needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The patio area was the perfect setting to spend a warm evening with a bottle of wine! We found the neighbours and locals very welcoming and Ann was extremely helpful. The medieval castle in Carcassonne provided fantastic views over the city and we had a fun filled day visiting the many shops, restaurants and in particular a trip around the ghost house, which is not for the feint hearted!! We would have no hesitation in recommending your cottage to friends and family as there was plenty to see and do, it caters for all.

Les Coquelicots

Review Submitted: August 22, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My partner and I had a wonderful week staying in Les Coquelicots in the lovely village of Cuxac-Cabardes in July 2008. The cottage was ideal and each evening we spent sitting on the veranda drinking wine and chatting with anybody who happened to pass by. As keen gardeners we were particularly interested in watching what went on in the allotments facing us! We visited La Cite of course as well as Narbonne – brilliant market and shops, Hautpoul a fantastic village perched on a mountainside with a wonderful view across the mountains; Chateau Saissac was wonderful too. We also stopped off in Montelieu to watch a game of boulle which was fun. Overall we had a fantastic holiday taking in the history of the area, and I cooked probably the best roast lamb of my life as the produce was absolutely brilliant! It was lovely to arrive back at the cottage to unwind; to read, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the village, away from the crowds. Sorry to leave in the end, but this was a memorable holiday in a fantastic area of France. I have posted all of my holiday photographs on my Flickr webpage - search for Bertrom1 on the Flickr homepage - which I hope do justice to the holiday. Hope you enjoy looking at them.



Bert and Linda.
