A fairly modern hotel with small swimming pool. Didn't use it but it did look rather exposed to any prevailing wind.Also looked very clean. ||Rooms were good with excellent very up to date en suite facilities. ||Within short walk is a lake with tremendous overall views. Worth the effort. Cafe overlooks the lake if you fancy a drink. ||Restaurant was very busy the night we were there and they did ask us to eat early to avoid any delay. We were not in a hurry and booked for 8pm and they coped very well. The food was excellent. A shared fruit de mer starter plus a substantial cassolet left all of us very satisfied. For the quality of food it was excellent value. ||Hotel has a safe car park and being around 2 kms out of town it was a very quiet area. ||Breakfast was standard French cuisine with tables available inside or out. ||We came past Carcassone on our way to this hotel at around 5.30pm. The queues were enormous and I would have thought an hour from the autoroute to the centre of town would not be overstating it. ||This hotel was certainly within striking distance if a day trip was what was in mind. Hopefully a mid-morning visit would not have the same delays as those we saw in the evening. ||Overall a welcoming hotel with a manager who spoke English, saving him from the broken French the rest of his staff had to...
Read moreI stayed for one night in late October whilst on a cycling trip with a friend. After a very long and hard day, which unfortunately finished with a 3km uphill grind to the hotel I was very pleased to arrive and be greeted so warmly by Vincent and Veronique. Within minutes of recovering we were enjoying some great beers, in the well stocked bar and having a lovely conversation with Vincent (very good English spoken). This is a family run hotel and it shows, the place was amazingly friendly. Because we had no transport other than bikes and it was raining all night, Vincent drove us down to the town for food and collected us later, a very welcome and kind gesture!||The rooms we had were large and reasonably comfortable. The en-suite shower room I had was enormous (I think that it was room number 8) and bigger than some of the bedrooms in other hotels on our trip. There was heating in the room and a heated towel rail in the shower room - very welcome. Breakfast was fine and typically French and Vincent gave us some food for our bike ride to Carcassonne. The hotel is close to a nice lake and it must be a very pleasant location in better weather.||I'd definitely stay here again and would certainly look forward to receiving some more of the excellent friendship and hospitality from Vincent...
