Sheds and Tom are very gracious hosts and have furnished their cottage very well. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated all the extra touches.

We had a fabulous stay in this gite. Location good for exploring the area (we love walking and cycling). Gite itself is brilliant. Very well thought out and equipped to provide everything you could wish for on hols. The owners are very welcoming and helpful . Would recommend this gite.
Casa espaciosa, perfectamente acondicionada y equipada con todos los detalles para disfrutar de una agradable estancia. Cuenta con terraza y zona verde con varios lugares preparados para descansar, aprovechar el sol y disfrutar del canto de los pájaros a cualquier hora del día. Cálida acogida de los propietarios, Shena y Tom, disponibles y atentos en todo momento. Sumamente recomendable.
Une semaine de repos et de calme tous en visitant une merveilleuse région !
Nos hôtes ont été d’une grande gentillesse et leurs conseils précieux !
Merci à Sheda et Tom !
The owners converted a barn into a lovely, well furnished gite. Although the only source of heat was a wood stove, we stayed comfortably warm. It's a great location to relax and take walks in the countryside.
Magnifique gîte, à la fois au calme et proche de grandes villes (Lautrec, Castres, Toulouse, Carcassonne).
Un grand merci à Sheda et à Tom pour leur accueil.
Excellent accueil de Sheda et Tom dans un gîte très confortable. Un point spécial pour le jardin qui est super agréable.

Gite near Lautrec
This is a lovely gite in a rural position. The property was faultless and extremely well equipped. Set in a large garden in which to while away the time. The owners were very welcoming and helpful whilst still remaining unobtrusive. Would recommend this gite to anyone.

About the host
Hosted by Tom and Sheda Savage
Tom and I have been living in France for over 15 years now, having moved here from Yorkshire, England. One of the best decisions we have ever made.
We like nothing better than going for a walk in the morning, with beautiful countryside on our doorstep or sometimes, to be more energetic, take a cycle ride.
We have travelled to many places in our lives from the Canary Islands to Kenya, but we are always happy to return to our 'little Tuscany' in France.
So why not join us and discover why we settled in this special part of SW France?
Why they chose this property
The property itself was ideal for us not too big and not too small. It is rural but not isolated less than 5 kms to Lautrec or nearest town is 10 kms to Castres. Both of these places are great to visit.
The airports to us are of equal distance from Carcassonne or Toulouse - you choose.
What makes this property unique
The view was the overriding factor that sold this house to us. Come and see for yourself.
