What a wonderful find. We stayed in the Hopkins Gite. There isn't anything our hosts, Will and Karen hadn't thought about. The accommodation is extremely spacious, being traditionally furnished with a lovely French feel but with a contemporary twist. The colours used were fab, bringing the whole interior to life, with all matching accessories.
Nothing was too much trouble for Will, and we arrived to a bespoke hamper, pre-ordered before leaving England, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed breakfast the morning after arrival on the balcony.
The area surrounding the gite is extremely picturesque, and whilst in the middle of rolling countryside and extremely peaceful, is ideally placed to visit Toulouse and Carcassone. We drove out to the mountains with nearby ski resorts and also to the coast at Narbonne, allowing us to experience the vastly different landscapes. Nearby Revel has a bustling market and there are many pretty towns to explore.
Even in early October, the climate was kind to us, and we went home feeling refreshed after a relaxing week's break.
Certainly one to re-visit.
