Summary: Lovely clean, well equipped gite with wonderful pool, summer kitchen and terrace in a beautiful rural location. We had a fab week and would love to return
Amy F. Jun 10, 2024 03:13:11 AM
Summary: What a wonderful stay we had with Sarah. Communication with Sarah was quick and friendly, and check in was straightforward. The gite was perfectly clean, and so well equiped. They had a travel cot, highchair and all sorts of other bits and bibs for our little ones to enjoy. The setting itself was beautiful, well into the countryside and so peaceful. We loved playing in the gardens and in the pool. Everything was so well kept and cared for. Plenty to see and do in the local area, but car definitely needed to get anywhere. The wifi was patchy on occasion but only to be expected when you’re so rural, and never a problem for us. Would absolutely recommend a stay with Sarah.

Summary: We had a wonderful, relaxing weeks stay at Domaine de La Barre. The setting is idyllic and the gite was exceptionally clean and tidy with everything we could have needed at hand. Our hosts were great and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. They were extremely knowledgeable on the area, places to visit and recommendations on places to eat. A great place to stay, relax and unwind!

Summary: Could not rate Sarah’s place higher. We spent a wonderful two weeks in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. The property is clean and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the terrace and spent many evenings with a beer watching the sunset. The pool is superb with lots of toys, great for two young kids learning to swim. Also enjoyed the outdoor kitchen with BBQ and pizza oven. It was a perfect place to set up base and explore the surrounding area, and we went to the beach, Andorra shopping, wine tasting in the Malpere region, and visited the space museum at Toulouse. Overall, a superb family holiday and would love to return.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely part of France. The gîte was well specced, the exclusive use of the summer kitchen was unexpected and great giving us space to store our bikes. Fans are provided in each room to keep cool, a blind on the lounge window would be an idea to help stop the direct sunlight In this space. The pool area is beautiful and serene with absolutely loads of space. Sarah very kindly offered us to help ourselves to any salad and vegetables that were growing which is such a lovely thought. Sarah is friendly and available but totally discreet at same time, a perfect combination.

Summary: I do not think I can add or subtract from the excellent reviews that have already been given. Overall, we had a very pleasant week at La Domaine de la Barre. We especially enjoyed the pool which is exactly as it is pictured. We also appreciated Sarah's attentiveness to our needs and responsiveness to our questions. We would definitely stay there again.

Summary: Lovely property. Everything you could hope for and more. Kids loved the swimming pool right outside. Nice to sit in the summer kitchen and have dinner. Lots of places to visit. Sarah and family great hosts. We will be back!
Margaret P. Jul 2, 2018 12:04:10 AM
Summary: Spent a great week in a well-appointed gite. The pool and gardens were immaculate tended by Sarah, Kevin and the boys. Although always on hand to ask advice, they were never intrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend a visit.
Richard G. May 28, 2018 03:41:20 AM
Summary: What a fantastic property and an amazing host. We lived our stay and would definitely return should we be in the area.
Becky T. Sep 1, 2017 03:55:11 AM
Summary: We have just returned from a fabulous 2 week holiday at Domaine de la Barre. The property was super in every way and we are very picky holidaymakers! The gite is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. There is a beautiful view from the large terrace where you can eat, relax and watch the night sky and the added benefit of the summer kitchen is a real asset. The pool is stunning and is exactly as it looks in the pictures. The gite is quiet and rural with the gorgeous town of Mirepoix only 20 minutes away which has a fantastic market and cafes and restaurants for people watching. During our stay we cycled down the Canal du Midi, kayaked on the Aude, visited Carcassonne, Narbonne, Limoux, Rennes les Chateau, Rennes les Bains and swam in the Mediterranean and lots of rivers and lakes not to mention a stunning day and firework display in Collioure near Spain. There are still lots of places that we never got to see such as the Pyrenees and other historical sites. Our children aged 14 and 11 were never bored and loved the area as much as us. Sarah, Kevin and the boys are wonderful hosts. As others have said, they are perfectly discreet but there if you need them and have some top tips if you ask. The added bonus of enjoying some home grown peppers, beetroot and cucumbers was utterly delicious. We cannot recommend this little spot of paradise more highly. This is a gem of a property in a gem of an area of France.
