Reviews of Property: Summary of 'The Farmhouse' 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6

My wife and I, and our 16 month twin toddlers spent two weeks in La Terrasse. Right from the start, Stephanie and Jules were so accommodating. This was our first trip with young toddlers, and Stephanie was pestered with emails concerning the quality of the water, the availability of fresh milk, directions to the nearest supermarket, and the ferocity of the mosquitoes. (There aren’t any mosquitoes.) She always responded quickly and accurately.

When we arrived, we were super surprised to see two cots and two high chairs for the twins. Even the stair rail had been child-proofed! For the adults, our hosts had provided champagne, pate, pompete, home-made jam. Stephanie and Jules are wonderful hosts, and pay attention to every detail. They even bought spare nappies in case we arrived late.

We stayed in the farmhouse, but also visited the stables. They are all beautifully decorated, and painstakingly restored. I have to agree with one of the other reviews that the photos don’t do it justice. The farmhouse is very well equipped, with dishwasher, washing machine, wireless internet access, hi-fi, television, and dvd. The kitchen is also well kitted-out with enough pots, pans, knives etc to make meal preparation easier. The property is very spacious, and the pool is beautiful.

We had a wonderful holiday. It was very relaxing and refreshing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend visiting La Terrasse to anyone, and our thanks again to Jules and Stephanie.

Wir waren in den Herbstferien 2009 zwei Wochen im "Farmhaus" zu Gast und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus bietet allen nötigen Komfort und hat vor allem einen tollen französischen Charm. Es ist sehr liebevoll renoviert und dekoriert. Vor allem die Bäder sind sehr chic!
Obwohl wir strahlend blauen Himmel und Sonnenschein hatten, war es für den Pool leider zu kalt, aber wir haben gerne dort in der Sonne gesessen. Das ganze Gelände ist wunderschön angelegt und man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Man kann auch überdacht Badminton und Tischtennis spielen. Und Abends haben wir immer den Holzofen im Wohnzimmer angemacht. Dank der Galsscheibe konnten wir dann in das prasselnde Feuer schauen und richtig toll entspannen.
Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und super hilfsbereit in allen Fragen.
In der Umgebung sind viele Ausflugsziele und man bekommt viel mittelalterliches zu sehen. Nicht verpassen darf man auf jeden Fall Carcassonne! Aber daneben gibt es noch jede Menge anderer Schlösser und Burgen und mittelalterliche Städchen mit wunderschönen Märkten. Käse, Wurst und Patisseriewaren sind ein MUß!
Ach ja - ein ganz großes PLUS auch noch: Wir konnten unseren Hund mitbringen und es war total unkompliziert. Platz für Auslauf gibt es reichlich.
Wir können diese Ferienhäuser nur wärmstens empfehlen :)

We have stayed in a large number of gites and farmhouses in France and we would rate La Terrasse as the best for quality of accommodation, surroundings and value. La Terrasse is situated in what in my view is the most beautiful part of the Tarn but what makes it special is the hospitality of Steph and Jules for whom nothing is too much trouble.

We spent a week here in this fabulous Gite. This is the nicest Gite we have ever rented and would certainly recommend it to all our friends. Julian and Stephanie were really nice, made us feel at home. There are a lot of good quality restaurants around the area, the pool is fabulous. We look forward to returning soon.

My wife and I and our 11 month old baby spent a very relaxing week in the farmhouse at La Terrasse. The photos on the web dont do it justice. We had the space and freedom to do as we pleased with loads of local attractions to visit. Only just over an hours drive from Toulouse airport this accommodation was beautifully finished,well maintained and immaculately clean.My wife enjoyed the markets where you could buy local produce and baby Aoibhinn loved the pool. Look forward to visiting again soon.

We found the house without any difficulty, following the instructions. It looked as lovely as the photograph and equally as lovely inside. Stephanie and Joules have done a very sympathetic renovation and we felt immediately that we were going to enjoy our week. The beds were beautifully made up with antique bed linen ( a joy at the end of a long journey ) and the bathrooms were well equiped and modern. The property was spotlessly clean and well maintained, the pool equally clean and the grounds were an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Stephanie and Joules maintained a discreet presence but were always available if we wished to ask advice. The local services were very good, we used several restaurants in Revel and the market on Saturday was the best I've been to anywhere in the world !! We visited Castelnauderay and bought a very large dish of the local Cassoulet. Castres is a very nice day out and we wish we had more time in this area - the wine at the cave is very good value.
I would definately recommend this property to even my most discerning friends and we hope to come back and stay here continuing with our search for a property of our own.
Having been fortunate enough to be shown "The Stables" on the same property I can confirm that this is as good as if not better than the Farmhouse we stayed in. The fact that Stephanie gave us her own wide screen TV to view when we erroneously thought our new one wasn't working demonstrates the effort these hosts put into their committment to make their guests welcome

We have just spent a very nice two weeks in "The farmouse" and can only give praise. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and maintained and idyllically situated off a very quiet country lane.
The large swimming pool is obviously a plus for those hot summer days.
The shops and supermarkets in Revel are only a 5 minute drive away, which is very convenient, especially for those freshly baked croissants for breakfast!
The owners live on site and are very helpful should you need anything, but do not intrude on your privacy.
A good base for sightseeing in the area.
We would highly recommend this holiday accomodation.

We were two families renting both properties for the last two weeks in June. Our party comprised of a 9 year-old, four teenagers, four parents and three grandparents. We all had a brilliant time; there´s enough history, nature and culture, mad sports and action, good wine, food and shopping in the area to keep everybody happy. The town of Revel is very close, very user-friendly and the whole area has fantastic food-culture, again, for all ages.
The properties are of the highest standard and are a total delight. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms modern, the kitchen appliances effective and the ambience very relaxing. The grounds are not only well-kept and beautiful but interesting too, and there is plenty of scope for both sunbathing and reading in the shade. There is no traffic noise as the properties are down a quiet lane, yet access by car is very easy.The owners live on site and are very helpful, friendly yet discreet hosts.
We highly recommend this property to anyone and have never, in all our years of French, Spanish and Italian gites found a better place to be!
