Butterfly Cottage for Rental in Languedoc-Roussillon - Beautiful Woodland Setting Reviews

When looking for a French cottage holiday it can be a little hit and miss, we've been to a few misses over the years but the reviews for Butterfly cottage were so good we had to give it a try, well what can I say? the reviews are spot on, from the long leafy drive into Gary and the warm welcome you receive from Gilli and Mike you know you're on to a winner. Butterfly cottage is everything we'd hoped for and more! My wife and daughters wanted warm weather markets and a pool to relax in and i wanted history, castles and dare i say wine! all were provided in the area and property.

Butterfly cottage is well appointed, nestled at the end of a wooded lane surrounded by forest and open fields, all of which you can explore if you've a mind, if you like good food Gilli will provide you with a meal on arrival or anytime you don't feel like cooking for a very reasonable price including wine....she is a very good cook and uses all her own produce which was delicious and just about as fresh as you'll ever have.

Inside Butterfly Cottage upstairs you have two double rooms one of which also has a single bed so lots of room, seperate wc and the most amazing shower room, from the landing you can go outside onto a roomy balcony where I sat every morning with my coffee listening to the sounds of forest and wildlife...bliss? you betcha!

Downstairs you have a kitchen and living room, kitchen is fully fitted with fridge freezer, microwave, slow cooker (very handy after a long day out) oven and hob, there is no dishwasher but I don't have one at home so didn't miss it, there is a dining table and chairs if it gets too hot to eat outside and sofas with stereo and English and French tv channels. Outside the ground floor door is a very nice raised eating area with table chairs and a candle holder for lighting once the suns gone down. As i've said before i've been to one or two properties over the years but never enjoyed my surroundings as much as I did here.

Towels, beach/pool and bedding are all provided so don't lug extra weight and there's plenty of spares, there was even spare toiletries which we didn't need but if you'd forgotten them they were there for your use.

Gilli and Mike are truly the best owners ever! they are helpful in every way from gifts of fresh fruit and veg from the garden or tips and advice on places to visit.

Id like to think they are now our friends and we look forward to many more stays at Butterfly Cottage, thank you very much,The Doherty's
