Brilliant family birthday celebration
Just back from a fantastic week at La Maison celebrating 25 years together with my beautiful wife Dawn and my upcoming 50th birthday. This was the dream holiday that almost didn't happen. Nearly a year in the planning but almost scuppered by Covid-19. Thanks to Mel and Colin for their communication and patience in dealing with the additional info requested. I dare not visualise the holiday for fear of cancellation. If I had, it wouldn't have matched he perfection that greeted us. Everybody was blow away by the quality of the house, the deco and general set up. It was first class. We spend most of our time outside around the barn and pool area, enjoying the company of the 22 family members (aged 3 to 69) who joined us. We took turns to cook and BBQ, had table tennis competitions and just loved our time together. Walks around the surrounding area were lovely and we enjoyed visits to Carcassonne and Châteaux de Lastours. However in truth the house is so wonderful we could have stayed in the whole week. It was perfect.

Colin and Melanie, I salute you !!!
We chose this beautiful property for my early 60th birthday get together as it could accommodate so many people, from the age of 70 to 4 it was perfect for all. every convenience from butcher to baker, wine store to supermarkets were at most a short drive away. the house and grounds with swimming pool, and barn with 3 BBQ's were perfect for any family get together and plenty of nooks and crannies if anyone decided to drift away from the main event. Carcassonne was maybe a 20 minute drive away and most definitely worth a visit , I went twice and should have gone much more!! I didn't mention the bar in the basement , no need for a bar in the village use the basement absolutely fantastic , my 7 year old grandson took the position of bartender and did a sterling job :-) . Colin and Mel were on hand if required and could not have been more helpful it was an absolute pleasure to meet them In summary, if you want a private large family or friends get together this is the place Wil Denham ( about to turn 60 ) and loved La Maison

Natalie H., Liverpool

Perfect Place for a Large Family Holiday
We were a party of 19 from Liverpool aged from 15-65 and we stayed in La Maison in the second week of June 2018 to celebrate a special birthday. The house is wonderful. It is very large and has substantial grounds. All of the bedrooms were very well appointed as was the house itself. The bedrooms on the first floor of the main house are large and luxurious. The bedrooms on the second floor are charming and serve purpose. The annex is lovely and we would recommend taking that too, even if your numbers don't justify it, as it gives you access to a second kitchen and large refrigerator. The fact there were so many separate spaces - the barn, the pool area, the gardens, the cellar bar & TV room - meant that we felt like we had lots of room and lots of different activities on offer. We loved the outdoor kitchen and spend a lot of our time there eating & drinking, playing pool & darts and using the hot tub. Mel & Colin were excellent; Mel in dealing with our booking in advance and Colin looking after us when we were there. Colin & Mel's excellent relationships with the local supermarket, butcher and baker served us very well indeed and we were delighted with how friendly and willing to help the locals were. The village is sleepy and lovely and there is a regular and easy bus service into Carcassonne which we used often. We would highly recommend La Maison for family and large group holidays; it ticks all of the boxes.

Beautiful property - perfect for a group get away!
A beautiful house with all the amenities you could ask for with a big group of family! I would happily stay again, whether it be with a big group of friends or another big family event. Mel was always quick to respond on pre arrival correspondence, she was extremely informative and Colin was on hand to deal with our arrival and departure as well as mid week contact. The pool was clean before arriving and also a mid week clean was done to ensure it was a debris free as possible. the house has lots of social areas for any rainy days and being so close to Carcassonne was very easy to drive down into for the day.

Best family birthday party ever
The house is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and has everything you may wish for to entertain all age groups. The double beds had 4 pillows each and good cotton bedding, spotless en-suite bath/shower rooms with towels. The kitchen is fully equipped. Best of all are all the things you can do there with the heated pool, hot tub, table tennis, billiards, darts, BBQ, indoor cinema, sound system,. I had been a bit concerned that our single men would need to drive out to find bars and clubs as the village lacks in hot spots but they did not, they spent their evenings using the facilities on offer and everyone had a great time. Our hosts Mel and Colin were super helpful throughout the booking process and after. Our family would highly recommend spending time at La Maison.

About the host

Host profile image
I am French, hailing from Brittany and my wife is British of Indian origin. We have a 6 year old daughter called Anjali Rose. We fell in love with La Maison when we saw it and feel so blessed and privileged to look after it and enable our guests to have a magical experience. We were managing many holiday rental businesses in the UK before deciding to return back home to France. We thrive on connecting with people and have lived in many countries. My wife grew up in Austria and speaks German and so we are always surrounded by an international tribe!

Why they chose this property

La Maison is one of a kind. It is very rare to find a Manoir like this within a village in France. Most properties of this size are remote and buried deep in there countryside: At La Maison you have the privacy of your grounds and house, but you can always pop out to the local butcher or patisserie. Within five minutes walk you have breathtaking views of the Pyrenees and within 3.4 miles (or a lovely bicycle ride), you are in the medieval grounds of Carcassonne citadel! La Maison has been painstakingly renovated, respecting the period it was built but adding all the mod cons: The sound and light system in the bar is phenomenal and many a great party has been thrown there. The pool, hot tub, and barn really encourage you to relax and make a breathtaking wedding or big event venue. In Winter the house is just as magical with its log fires. The living area is also really versatile with all combinations of single, bunk, double, twin bedrooms, most of which en suite and rooms/bathrooms suitable for disabled/elderly. Whether it is just a break or a special event, La Maison has exceeded expectations. Come and find out!
