Riverside house, in quiet village, close to lake and restaurants

A gorgeously light and spacious central village house, sleeps 8 (up to 6 adults). It’s my beloved house, recently renovated, which I rent occasionally. Bordering the ambling river, it's 3 minutes walk from a swimming lake with a beach. There are 5 cafe-restaurants within strolling distance, some hosting live acoustic music. This is a relaxed, peaceful village surrounded by the stunning foothills of the Pyrenees. Puivert castle, one of the famous Cathar castles, overlooks the village. Pets welcome!

There are two double bedrooms, one with a king-size bed. The third is a twin bedroom. There’s a large attic bedroom of restricted height with child-sized beds. There's also a single bedroom downstairs, and a sofa bed in the open plan sitting room/kitchen. There's a big bathroom, and a shower room. The house also contains a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

The garden comprises a shady terrace at the front of the house with dining table, BBQ and flowerbeds re-done for the 2021 season, plenty big enough to eat in comfort. There's a grassed piece of land at the side of the house which gives you access to the river (it's a fine river, though depending on rainfall, it can be static in high summer) . I hope the 'terrain' will be abundant with wildflowers for the 2021 season (if they take!)
