Cathar Castles, Occitanie hotel rooms at the Independent

"This hotel was rated highly and priced as though it was a high end property - it is not. It is an ancient chateau remodeled into a 1970s motel with amateur carpentry. Upon arrival the manager attempted to upsell us on-site breakfast and booking a dinner reservation through her website instead of showing us to our room. Our room was surprising, as it was not attractive or comfortable. There was a giant space heater to be plugged in because the proprietor turns off the heat at night - in December! The bathroom door was an ill fitting rolling door that did not provide privacy. We were happy to check out the next day. I could not recommend this hotel."

"Delightful villa featuring incredible vistas and wonderful service . Quiet, clean and well decorated room and comfortable king bed . Breakfast was outstanding too featuring many locally made condiments . Gracious and friendly host . Close proximity to the city and historical venues . "

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our dining experience was lovely as was our beautiful room."

"The Chaumiere is really the only good hotel in this area, decor feels a little set in the 1990's, but facilities are great and the set menu at the restaurant is a real treat. It has a nice casual feel and a very attentive owner/manager"

"Great Place near to town centre. Friendly family run business . Excellent value and great breakfast included. Comfortable lounge to relax in and watch tv. Secure parking also .. Excellent for a stopover"
