You know when you rent a holiday apartment, there's always something that's wrong with it? Well this is the exception. It is quiet, peaceful, safe and secure (important for families), with delightful views over the marina, and easily accessible. We found everything we could possibly want, wonderful views, the most fabulously comfy beds (we really needed to sleep after a chaotic year), extremely well kitted out kitchen, TV with DVD player, lovely bathrooms (there are two!), and a washing machine and dishwasher, and they all worked - heaven! St Cyprien, although a rather sprawling holiday village, is a brilliant base for exploring this part of the Languedoc, with so much to see a week is not nearly enough, from the beautiful Pyrenees, to mountain villages, to seaside towns, stunning abbeys and priories, fortified castles (including the breathtaking Cathar castles) and vast sandy beaches. Shopping is never a problem, as every nearby village seems to have a massive supermarket. Suzanne is so easy to deal with, she's very helpful with all the information she gives both in respect of the apartment and the locality, and she was really quick to refund our deposit. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.
