Not to our taste.
Accommodation not to my taste. Was led to believe it was a small hotel with restaurant but no evening food available even though we asked for it. Style of room was eclectic and functional only. I wanted to move on but partner had done a lot of driving and needed to stop.

Överraskande bra och prisvärt boende.
Mycket prisvärt och trevligt boende i lugnt och fridfullt område. Speciell karaktär med några hönor som vandrar omkring i trädgården. Värdinnan trevlig och tillmötesgående. Kan verkligen rekommenderas.

Deze accommodatie is fantastisch gelegen aan het grand bassin. Het huis is met veel liefde, kleurrijk ingericht. De gastvrouw is erg vriendelijk. Het ontbijt royaal, opgediend in de prachtige tuin. Er is een prima plek om fietsen te stallen. Kortom: een ideale plek om te overnachten tijdens bv. een fietstocht langs het Canal du Midi.Castelnaudary is een onverwacht mooie stad; een aanrader!

Superbe vue sur le plan d'eau. Décoration agréable dans la chambre, spacieuse et bouilloire à dispo avec thé et café. Très bonne literie !! Ca change des lits des chaînes hôtelières et des oreillers plats lol Petit déjeuner a la demande, rien à redire. Seul petit bémol, il faisait un peu frais dans la chambre. Hotesse accueillante. Bon séjour dans l'ensemble même si je n'ai pas visité la ville. Dommage car l'emplacement est parfait.

Castelnaudary était une des étapes de notre rando à vélo entre Agen et Carcassonne. Nous avons séjourné au Grand Bassin (chambres d'hôte) au bord du lac du même nom le long du canal du midi. Garage à vélo fermé, très bon accueil, maison propre,chambre spacieuse et agréable, wifi, TV.
