Luxury 3 Bedroom Cottage with Private Pool

Perched on a hilltop and offering a wonderful view of the Black Mountains to the east and a fantastic panoramic view of the Pyrenees to the south, this sympathetically restored and well appointed stone farm cottage is the perfect destination for those looking to get away from it all, and the ideal spot to explore the South West region with its excellent tourist and sporting attractions.
This old stone farm building has been sympathetically restored to an exceptionally high standard, maintaining many traditional features including exposed beams and stone walls, but with the modern comforts of air-conditioning and heating throughout. A large stone fireplace and wood-burning stove are the focal points of the lower living accommodation.


Leisure at the cottage: If your idea of a perfect holiday doesn't involve going very far then the cottage is just right for you. The fully alarmed 8 x 4 mtr swimming pool is next to a large sun terrace fully equipped with dining table, chairs, parasols and sun beds. The large garden area is big enough for kids to runaround in but close enough for you to keep and eye on them. Inside the cottage there is a TV with UK free-view channels, a DVD player with a large selection of movies, a bluetooth speaker and a large selection of books and games to help while away the long lazy days.

Leisure away from the cottage: Locally there are tennis courts, riding schools, golf courses, windsurfing, quad biking, canoeing, jet skiing, cross country running and fishing. We are happy to arrange lessons or day trips for any of these activities during your stay.

The many vineyards of the Gaillac region are only 30 minutes away and slightly further afield, but well worth the extra effort, are the Minervois, Cahor, Madiran and Corbière regions. We can recommend vineyards to visit and wine to buy during your stay.

Forty minutes away is the city of Toulouse, known as the ‘Pink City’ because of the colour of brick from which it is built, with its many historical attractions; The Capitole Square, St. Sernin Basilica, St. Etienne Cathedral and many museums. For the kids, a trip to the Citi d’Espace, the European Space Park shouldn’t be missed.

Just under an hour away you have the historical site of Carcassonne - a must for anyone travelling to the area.


Where to eat: There are plenty of good restaurants to help you discover the many culinary delights of the region, and our fully comprehensive welcome book gives details of all of them.

If you enjoy cooking while you have the time away, we grow our own fruit and veg in the garden which is available for guests to enjoy. Nearby farms sell their own produce including chicken, duck, fowl, lamb and cheese, and the Saturday Lavaur market is a treat for all the senses.

Magnifique!
This property was superbly equipped as it had all that we required for our trip - on the rare occasion we needed something, that wasn't in the property, we were able to loan it from the owners. We, a family of four (44m, 42f, 14f &13f), had a fabulous time and all agreed that this was right up there as one of our favorite holiday home stays of all time. Having stayed all across France in various homes this one ticked our boxes for a relaxing sun-filled break. The owners, and of course their dogs, were very friendly and ensured that our stay was as comfortable as possible - thank you for all of the information shared on beekeeping and allowing us to sample some of the harvest. A small recommendation for improving further (if we were to be overly picky); would be for some way of providing fixed outside shade, as there were occasions where the wind was too high to have the parasols up which meant it was too hot to enjoy the outside space. Overall this is a property not to be missed and certainly deserves 5* across the board. Thank you Karen and Ian.

Bolt hold for Rugby World Cup
Cottage at En Bretus has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard. It offers flexible accommodation, has everything needed for a relaxing stay including a beautiful terrace and pool. There are fabulous restaurants, historic towns and cities within a short drive, great cycling and super lakes all nearby. Karen and Ian are fabulous hosts and have amazing knowledge of the local area. We spent a fair amount of time in Toulouse, metro is about 35 mins away very easy. Atmosphere at the rugby was incredible, very inclusive, plenty of interactivity.

Thanks to Karen and Ian for such a warm welcome to their fabulous gite. We had a relaxing week.. and could easily have stayed longer on the terrace and by the pool.

Absolute paradise!!
I cannot recommend this property enough. Remote, but just 15 mins from a beautiful little town for shops and restaurants. Beautifully restored farmhouse cottage with all amenities, great wifi, washing machine, air-con in all bedrooms and living room. Big private pool, set in picture postcard rolling fields, dining/sun terrace....I could go on and on about how impressed we all were. Karen and Ian were on hand with advice and help whenever needed. If youre looking for the perfect get away, somewhere to relax and recharge, THIS is what you're looking for. We will definitely be returning next year.xx

Relaxing and peaceful
My wife and I had a very relaxing and peaceful stay which is just what we were looking for. Karen and Ian are both lovely people and we’re extremely helpful when giving advice on the local area. We would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet get away. Easy access to the local town which is a 10 minute drive and has everything you need. Also great for a day trip into Toulouse.

If you want a quiet place away from it all, this is a wonderful option. Day trips to Albi and Carcassone are around an hour away. Afternoons by the pool after a day of sightseeing. Karen and Ian were the perfect hosts.

Charming, well appointed stay between Toulouse & Carcassone
The home was exactly as advertised and the hosts worked quietly in the background to keep the pool clean, grounds kept etc. Great for our party of 4 adults and did not need the third 'kids' room.' No stores etc in town but everything you need a 12 min drive. Good access to Toulouse, Albi, Carcassone. Thank you Karen and Ian!

Perfect peace!
We loved this property! A smooth communication and check-in process with the lovely Karen and Ian who were so friendly, welcoming and keen to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Best equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in with little touches that made all the difference - so easy and sensible to have things like washing up liquid and loo roll on hand for our arrival, but so many places just don’t bother, so this was a treat! (As was the bottle of wine in the fridge waiting for us!) Beautifully clean and fresh linens and a super location to enjoy the sunflowers and huge skies. Brutally hot whilst we were there so the air con was well used and relished. All in all, a lovely place. Recommended.

Beautiful cottage and perfect hosts
En Bretus is a fantastic place. It is a beautiful cottage with gorgeous views of the fields and countryside. We loved having dinner at the terrace from where we enjoyed the beautiful sunset colouring the sky over the village nearby. The cottage is very well equipped and furnished. It is a quiet and peaceful place and still within easy driving distance of Toulouse, Albi and other main attractions. Karen and Ian are the perfect hosts. Kind and helpful with information on everything we needed including information on where and when the Tour de France passed by nearby. We would highly recommend En Bretus.

Amazing cottage
We had the most amazing holiday. The cottage was stunning with amazing views of both fields and the Pyrenees mountains. The pool, table tennis and bikes were a great hit with the children. The only sound we heard were the crickets and church bells in the distance. This is a good location to get away from it all in a peaceful setting. The owners dogs came to say hello in the evening which was lovely as they are very friendly. We would highly recommend.

Really great restaurants abound. Hosts/owners Karen and Ian are the loveliest people, helpful, kind, going the extra to make us feel comfortable and at home. The cottage itself is spacious, beautifully and comfortably furnished and equipped. We book gites/cottages often, this may be the best one ever. Thank you Karen and Ian for everything.

Hyggeligt sted, søde værter
Ægte fransk hygge og de sødeste værter man kan forestille sig. Stedet ligger ude på landet og er meget roligt, men 15 min kørsel til Lavore kan ændre på dette. Huset havde den bedste velkomstpakke vi har prøvet med kaffe, honning, hjemmelavet marmelade og meget mere, man følte sig virkelig velkommen. Kan klart anbefales.
