This is a magnificent place to stay, right next to the canal du midi with beautiful walks out the front door. The hosts are wonderful, really friendly and helpful. The gite was well equipped and served us so well for a month stay. Highly recommended.

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.

A comfortable, well presented property with lovely views of the Canal du Midi. It is ideally located for visits to Carcassonne, Cabrespine cave, lovely old French villages and wine tasting. Unfortunately, there was a strong wind during our stay so barbeques were not possible, however, the kitchen was well equipped to cook inside. Ann-Marie and Adrian were knowledgeable and kind hosts. We warmly recommend this property.

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.

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.

Our hosts offered us a comfortable and relaxing spot from which to explore the region. Each day we experienced an adventure and then returned for a swim and an evening meal on the patio. Adrian and Anne Marie were very helpful with suggestions to explore. Thank you 😊

We loved the location of this holiday home right on the canal du midi with a lock right outside the gate. A beautiful house with everything we needed, great back yard, swimming pool and easy driving distance to Carcassone. Highly recommended.

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.

10/10

We love this house, it’s location, right on the Canal du Midi, and the region in general. The house is well-equipped and comfortable. A large front terrace looks over the canal and a huge rear garden has a lovely pool (shared with the other gite on this site). We have been here three times now and hope to return next year.

Spent a relaxing short break in Canal View. Each day started with a short walk along the canal to the local boulangerie, followed by a coffee opposite. Ann-Marie and Adrian made us feel very welcome. The house was just perfect with easy links to Carcassonne and pretty Aude villages. Plenty of room for 4 persons and a complimentary bottle of wine.

Adrian & Ann Marie have recently renovated the two gites and they are looking amazing. We were in France for Easter so it was too cold to try the pool but the location is good to visit the local surroundings for day trips e.g. the citadel, the old castles. The Gite itself is well stocked and had relaxing and comfortable furniture. Adrian & Ann Marie were excellent hosts and we would highly recommend.

We had a great time at the Canal View Cottage. The facilities were great and the owners really try to make sure you feel comfortable and welcome. The Gite is situated right on the canal du midi and you can watch the boats travel through the Marseillette lock. There is also plenty to do in the region with Carcassonne, the Mediterranean and many Cathar Monuments to explore. Thanks for a wonderful stay in probably one of the most unspoilt areas of France we truly did have a great time.

Canal View Cottage is perfect. Tastefully decorated and in an ideal location on the canal bank, surrounded by farms and vineyards. Our hosts Ann-Marie and Adrian were so welcoming and helpful. Inkie, the dog and Sky the kitten were adorable. From the village, it is possible to visit a huge number of interesting places including, Carcassonne, Béziers, Narbonne and many lovely villages along the canal. We had a lovely, peaceful holiday and hope to return.

Great, very clean gite with everything you would need for a great holiday. Everything as described - the photos dont do it justice. Warm welcome by Ken & Pauline (owners), who were on hand if needed. Supberb position opposite a busy lock on the canal. Great heated pool with great views. Plenty of restaurants in nearby medeval Carcassone. Would recommend this to anyone.

Thank you to Adrain & Ann Marie for our stay at your Gite. We were in France for a wedding and had such a lovely stay, especially with our own pool! The area has some wonderful day trips including the old city of Carcassone, local vineyards and a wonderful freshwater lake as well. The Gite itself had a really well stocked kitchen, lovely furnishings and a great outdoor area for warm evening meals. I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the area. Thank you again!
