Pros: The barge is very charming and the hosts are lovely . Sally made us the most delicious evening meal, beautifully presented and enhanced by eating out on deck with some excellent wine.

Breakfast was really excellent , loads of choice and great coffee. It was a real treat and we cannot recommend this highly enough . Thanks for one of the nicest experiences of our holiday . Carol & Jeremy & Henry .

Cons: Nothing all perfect

Absolutely loved our stay on the barge.

Pros: Amazing breakfast and evening meal. Really friendly hosts and a great experience.

Wonderful experience.

Pros: We have a delightful stay in the barge for a night. Brett and Sally are wonderful hosts. They worked so hard to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. Dinner and breakfast were served on the deck and was plentiful, exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended if you wanted an experience of staying in the boat.

Cons: Nothing. If you go by car, even they have given you an instruction of how to get there, we still found it wasn't that straightforward to find the direction without using the GPS.

Fun and exciting feeding the catfish !

Pros: Excellent, friendly hosts. Superb location for walks, cycling, fishing. Great breakfast, with home made produce. Brilliant, vibrant market in Capestang.

Pros: Our children enjoyed the opportunity to stay on a boat and play with the dog. Sally and Brett are lovely hosts and the breakfast was delicious.

Pros: We loved the experience getting to sleep on a canal of course. Even in the heat wave experienced by France when we were there it was comfortable. But the highlight was our delightful hosts. Brett and Sally. We opted for dinner on board as well as the breakfast. We were not disappointed. The dinner, adapted to the heat of the day, was an absolute delight. Generous servings of accompanying alcohol, but most importantly, quality ingredients well presented. Could not help noticing the quality was far higher than we had experienced in French restaurants charging EU20+ more...

Cons: Learning about the loss of 10s of 1000s of shade tree from the banks of the canal due to parasite introduced by USA forces during second world War...

Wonderful stay along the canal

Pros: Sally and Brett male everything possible to make sure we felt welcome. From accomodation, table d'hote, breakfast, lunch, tips, etc.. They made a wonderful night stop in our bike trip along the canal. We would definitely book again!

Perfect stay

Pros: Such an amazing stay with Brett and Sally. The breakfast and optional dinner were both divine, definitely recommend and would book again in a heartbeat.

Great stay on a peniche on the Canal du Midi.

Pros: The hosts Brett & Sally were very welcoming and our stay on the peniche was great. Fantastic evening meal and breakfast.

Cons: n/a

Excellent & different place to stay

Pros: Loved the hosts, the boat, the setting & dinner

Cons: Not much. A lovely change from our regular type of hotel. It’s a bit off the beaten track to reach - but worth the effort.
