Inside:
The open plan ground floor of the cottage has a living area, dining area and well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and full size electric oven and gas hob. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with twin beds. The bathroom has a w.c., washbasin and bath with integral shower. There is also the 'loo with a view' with a w.c. and washbasin. The wood burning stove in the living room makes it a cosy retreat in winter months with the stereo cd/tape/radio to help you create a relaxed atmosphere.
Outside:
The small garden at the front of the house has a car parking space and a terrace with table and chairs. The back terrace has spectacular views over the vines - the perfect place to enjoy rural tranquility and a glass of local wine.
Please note.
We ask smokers to smoke outside the property.
There is a small unguarded mezzanine area in the double bedroom making the house unsuitable for young children.
Out and About.:
The region offers a variety of beautiful scenery for driving, walking or cycling.. The Pyrenees and the Mediterranean beaches are within easy reach while a visit to Spain or a shopping visit to Andorra offer alternatives for a day out.
Ten minutes away from the cottage is the old market town of Limoux, the home of Blanquette, the local sparkling wine. The town keeps up many of its traditional celebrations which take place throughout the year including its winter carnaval from January to March. There is a busy market every Friday.
The whole area is steeped in medieval history, with abbeys and castles dotted all around, the most famous being the castle town of Carcassonne, the background for many films including 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves' and now the setting for bestselling books 'Labyrinth 'and 'Sepulchre'. You might also like to take a boat trip down the Canal du Midi which runs through this area on its way to the Mediterannean or go for a stroll along its paths
