My husband and I stayed at Ecuries de Sainte-Croix for three nights on our recent trip to Carcassonne. The premises is well located for anyone with a car who wants to visit Carcassonne or the surrounding areas (we particularly enjoyed Montsegur).
We stayed in the La Napolitaine room. You can rent this room separately to the adjoining La Chinoise room. We found the bed to be very comfortable and the room was quite spacious. The adjoining bathroom with bath and shower was immaculate. There is a separate toilet just off the main room, but still for your private use. Overall, the room was very clean, neat and tidy.
As noted in other reviews, the property can be hard to find, even with a GPS. We found that the directions given by the host were invaluable and we soon found our way around.
The property itself has a rustic charm. We enjoyed meeting their cats, dog and horse. The breakfast was a typical French breakfast, basic but nice.
I would note that the host's English was very basic, however she was very helpful and patient in explaining things to us in a mix of English and French. On the last day there, I was not well in the morning and our host was very accommodating - she was very concerned, attentive and helpful.
I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in the Carcassonne area.
