The open-plan ground floor includes a spacious lounge / dining area and fully-equipped kitchen, while upstairs comprises three double bedrooms each with en suite bathroom. All rooms are fitted with reversible air conditioning and there is free fibre wi-fi throughout. The gîte is surrounded by six acres of beautiful garden and private woodland which boast a year-round diversity of flowering shrubs and trees rich in birdsong. A heated swimming pool, open in the summer months, with poolside patio and barbecue area, together with tennis court and table tennis are at guests’ exclusive disposal. En Gineste is situated at the foot of the famous Black Mountains - the south-westernmost spur of the great European Massif Central and part of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park. Walkers who wind their way up its forested slopes are rewarded with some of the region’s most stunning views. The surrounding countryside offers exceptional excursions for cyclists, with access to the Tarn cycle path just a few minutes’ ride from the house. Around fifteen minutes’ drive away are the quaint village of Sorèze, with its famous abbey and monthly antiquarian book fair; the medieval market town of Revel, renowned for its weekly food market; and the idyllic Lac de Saint-Ferreol, whose cluster of lakeside restaurants buzz with diners during summer evenings. Art lovers have close to hand both the Goya Museum in nearby bustling Castres and the outstanding Musée Toulouse-Lautrec in the historic prefecture town of Albi. A little further afield (each about an hour by car) are the extraordinary medieval fortress citadel of Carcassonne and France’s sublime ville rose, Toulouse. Both cities have airports with direct UK connections. British owners Peter and Tom, who live adjacent in the chateau, welcome families and groups of up to six people. There is also the possibility of accommodating an additional two guests (plus child) in an adjoining room with en suite bathroom. Please ask for details. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Indoor pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

The grounds were lovely complete with swimming pool and tennis court. Had the weather been a bit more agreeable we would have utilized both as we were given free reign of both. Every little detail in the cottage was thought of and greatly appreciated. Plenty of board games to keep us entertained. The cottage was in a rural area but with Revel only a 10 minute drive away grocery shopping was easy. From the cottage we did a day trip to Carcassonne which is a must see in the region. Highly recommend the cottage for either a short stay or longer vacation. ##### Julie M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### SANDY S.
