About the host
Hosted by Eileen Hopeakoski
My name is Eileen. I live in France with my daughter and my Shar Pei, Ulla. For all my life I have always been interested in the hospitality business - having been an airhostess for 20 years and an owner of a B&B in Portsmouth, England for five years which won Four in a Bed in 2013 - I couldn't simply just retire to France and be idle. I decided to turn my French cottage into a beautiful holiday dream by the Canal du Midi.
Why they chose this property
Carcassonne was my first choice when moving to France, as it was an ideal place to settle. It is an incredibly relaxed city however, it is so full of life.
The area is full of ancient history, an interesting culture mixed with French and Spanish and plenty of things to do which have kept my daughter and I entertained all year around. Our Summer starts in April and ends in September so there's always time to visit the sun while other parts of the world are still gloomy.
Canal cottage is an open window away from the Canal du Midi, a mere 20 minute walk to the castle and 10 minutes to the city centre. We are one hour from Toulouse. There is parking always available outside the property.

What makes this property unique
Despite how relaxing it is here - there is plenty to do and to see. Carcassonne Castle, the exquisite French restaurants, the Canal du Midi, the annual music festival and the smaller fétes which happen all year round such as wine tasting, local cheese fares, and a tribute to the Spanish which consists of a lot of dancing and sangria.
Additionally we're close to other popular French cities such as Toulouse, Narbonne, Montpellier and Perpignan which make a great day out that can be easily visited by train which is only a five minute walk from the cottage.
Canal Cottage is 15 minutes drive from the local airport where rental cars and bicycles are available, if you tell me beforehand I can pick you up.
