Cap de Castel

This is a lovely hotel with real local charm. The proprietors were both friendly and welcoming and full of recommendations. Clarisse, la voleuse des crepes (a cat who steals pancakes) was a favourite!

Wow - what a great experience. Everything worked perfectly from the friendliness of the staff to the quality of the room. Small town and very quiet environment. Staff recommendations for restaurants in nearby towns were right on.

Booked just for one night when passing through the area, I wish we could have stayed longer! I was worried we might struggle with our limited French, but the staff were so patient and some had excellent English. The rooms are beautiful; bed comfortable and a bath too! The food was exceptional, probably one of the best evening meals I have ever eaten. The only downside was that there were several weddings going on in the town and our room was adjacent to the very small car park. It was hot, the windows were open, so we were treated to endless vehicles trying to park, loud heated conversations in French and eventually someone trying to get in our room at 3am! I'm afraid I was a bit rude to them. This was obviously totally out of the hotel's control, but did spoil our stay. I would suggest avoiding the two rooms next to the car park unless you are a heavy sleeper!

Greeted on arrival by the owner. We arrived well before the check in time but were made welcome, offered a drink and he had our room ready in 3 minutes. The location is amazing with grand views to the Pyrenees. The swimming pool has everything the busy tourist could desire. The rooms are unique and extremely comfortable. The restaurant is packed with character and the food was exquisite, as well as the service in support of the meals. Parking is available and with lots of spaces.

This is a lovely little hotel in the Tarn area, near Albi and Carcassone. The owner, David, is charming and helpful, as were the staff.
