The located of this gite is truly outstanding It is so peaceful and pretty The closeness of the canal and its lock breaks the silence yet never interrupts your relaxation. The outdoor space is very well planned and enjoys the long afternoon sun The gite is very well equipped inside blending traditional with modern. The hosts are very knowledgeable and helpful and make delicious pizzas! The pool area is well stocked with sun beds and you can borrow swimming towels at no extra cost. It was a home from home!

It was lovely to meet the 2 of you. It was a shame your son was injured before the start of the U20's Rugby World Cup, so you were not able to enjoy the thrill of him playing for England in the competition.

Fabulous Spot in superb location

What a beautiful property and so nicely located right on a lock of the Canal du Midi. The property is clean, very comfortable and the hosts are extremely welcoming, but entirely discreet. Cannot recommend staying here highly enough.

It was lovely to meet David and Alison this January. They stayed for 33 days and were house hunting in our area. During their time they had an offer accepted on a house in Villemoustaussou just outside Carcassonne. We hope in some small way our knowledge of the area helped in their decision making. All the best for the future in our region Adrian and Ann-Marie

Lovely cottage in a quiet location

We had a long weekend here. It's close to Carcassonne and the airport but in a peaceful location next to the canal. Plenty to see and do in the area or just rest at the cottage, which is very well equipped. Couldn't fault it.

The Perfect Place

Canal View was the first stop on our drive around the south of France and it was excellent. Great facilities, clean and comfortable. Location is ideal for visiting Carcassonne and the many attractive villages in the area. Before our arrival and during our stay Ann-Marie & Adrian provided excellent information and advice.

Great accommodation in great location

We had a wonderful stay in Marseillette with our young kids. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and the setting is superb with canal boats chugging along past the house throughout the day. The kids loved the pool, trampoline and swings and their daily walk to the local boulangerie for breakfast. Easy to get to Carcassonne and the coast from the gite so we were able to do something different each day. A fantastic week.
