South Tarn Gites
The house and gardens are impeccable - this is a really excellent place to stay...for a holiday that is relaxing but with scope for leisure activities like swimming / water parks, cycling, canoeing, fishing and interesting walking on the doorstep. The proximity to Castres...was another real bonus (as) it has excellent shopping facilities and plenty to entertain children or adults.
Tom and Sheda have been incredibly good hosts... Tom's cooking was one of the highlights of the visit and Sheda's aromatherapy another.
We all enjoyed the holiday immensely and we'd all be very happy to visit again... we'd happily recommend it to anyone.Ian, Wendy and Ross, Edinburgh
What a wonderful time we have spent with you. The gite is beautiful, comfortable,everything to make you enjoy your stay. Thank you so much for the wonderful food cooked by Tom and also the aromatherapy massage, which made me feel so much more relaxed. You have been great hosts and so helpful with information about the area, what to see and where to go... Thank you again. 10/10

Thank you for a wonderful week - quite the best gite we have stayed in over the years... Its certainly a delightful area to explore!

This has been my home in the Tarn for the last few weeks ..... your attention to detail and passion for getting it right have made this the most comfortable gite I've stayed in...
Other guests may enjoy:-
- walk down the lanes to empty fields just before dusk to watch the hares.
- The "aligot (cheesy mash) available in local markets
- Revel market on Saturday mornings - spectacular!
- The little cathedral at Lavaur.
- Head over the Montagne Noir to Saissac and its Chateau ruins.
I hope to return soon.

We have had a truly wonderful stay here in the Tarn.... outstanding hospitality and warm welcome showed to our children.... Thank you for everthing, for all the culinary treats (best jam in France!), eggs, delicious tomatoes... We have loved the gite, which is well equipped, and the garden, is the perfect spot for relaxation.

The new gite is beautiful and feel very lucky to be the first visitors using Gite 2. We will miss the hospitality, peacefulness and tranquility at Loustalbiel... you are both great hosts ...

Tom et Sheda nous ont accueillis avec une très grande gentillesse, nous faisant profiter des productions de leur jardin. Leur gîte est très bien agencé, propre et bien équipé. Il n'y a rien à redire. Le grand jardin équipé de chaises longues permet le jeu des enfant et le repos des grands. La région regorge de jolis villages à découvrir, et les grandes villes dans un rayon de 80 km valent le détour (Castres, Albi, Carcassonne, Toulouse). Il y a également des points d'eau pour les enfants. Sans parler de la gastronomie locale à ne pas manquer non plus ! Bref, nous vous recommandons vivement ce gîte, tant pour le gîte lui même que pour sa région.
