Testimonials

Perfect romantic experience for the start of our honeymoon.
This was a very special time for us as it was our honeymoon. We were thoroughly impressed with every aspect of our stay from our first impressions and the attentiveness of the hosts. They made a very special occasion perfect. An immaculate clean establishment with all mod cons and great location to access the city. Although advertised as a B&B, it has all the feel of a boutique hotel.
Thank you!

Beautiful renovated house in the centre of Carcassonne. We received a warm welcome from Sadie and Joachim.

Voor iedereen die ooit Carcassonne wil bezoeken : 45BB is the place to be!
Een verborgen parel in de stad! We hebben ons echt de koning en de koningin gevoeld tijdens ons verblijf. Dit begint al direct wanneer je binnenkomt en je wordt begroet door de altijd vriendelijke Sadie met heerlijk geurende vochtige handdoekjes. Toen wisten we het al meteen ; dit kan niet meer stuk!
Een oase van rust komt je tegemoet in het prachtige gebouw, een geur van jasmijn, heerlijke achtergrond muziek. Meteen wordt je ZEN 😇.
Joachim staat direct klaar om je te helpen met je bagage en niets is teveel.
De tuin met zwembad is adembenemend, ook daar staat altijd een lekker drankje voor je klaar. De kamer is heerlijk fris en schoon en voorzien van de door Sadie zelf gemaakte heerlijke zeepjes.
In alles merk je de passie waarmee dit stel de B&B runt, alles gebeurt met een persoonlijke touch en niets is teveel! En wat een heerlijke humor hebben ze ook!
Love it! Een dikke 10 🤩 👌🏼 😍

This is a wonderful location. I will return thanks to the conviviality of my hosts.
The location is perfect, within walking distance of shops, restaurants of all levels and the Medieval City. Sade and Joachim have gone over and above to make my stay wonderful from Breakfast to options of tours and vineyards. They are very congenial. Laundry service was an added bonus. The patio and pool area were wonderful to relax in during the sunny days.
Other than the weather. There is nothing that I didn’t appreciate during my time here. It was very welcoming. I would say the environment is not really set for children as there are stairs and a granite patio with pool. Elderly may have an issue with stairs but it is only one level. This personally was not an issue for me.

· Accueil chaleureux ; le cadre est magnifique, c’est une petite oasis au bord du centre ville. L’emplacement est idéal, tout est accessible à pieds. La chambre est très propre, de style moderne. 20 minutes à pieds de la citée

Sarah from France
Beautiful place to stay in a beautiful city
Sadie and Joachim are amazing hosts. They made me feel so welcome and able to relax in their fabulously property, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Nothing is too much trouble. The Chambres d’Hotes is ideally situated for the tourist. Minutes walking to the old Cite, Cathedral, Canal du Midi and lovely restaurants and cafes. I arrived by train and was able to walk to the property in less than 10 minute. The fact that you can relax by the pool after a day’s sightseeing is an absolute bonus.
Aleksandra from the UK
We had a hugely fabulous stay in this lovely amazing B&B right in the centre of town. Gorgeous clean new bathrooms and bedrooms, heating everywhere, individual ac controls in the rooms when needed, lovely pool, great music and a wonderful environment, hot fresh croissants in the morning and fruit. What more could we want? We’ll b back in the summer to enjoy the pool and outdoor area.

Un remanso de paz y tranquilidad
Nos ha encantado el trato personal de Sadie y Joaquim, sus consejos, su hospitalidad, …te hacen sentir como si fuera tu propia casa! Y como no! destacar el cariño y los cuidados que han tenido con nuestra pequeña perrita Dana! En definitiva una estancia espectacular y muy recomendable!
Miguel from Spain
Estuvimos este fin de semana, reservamos dos habitaciones. El alojamiento es una preciosidad, decorado con gusto exquisito. Los propietarios amabilísimos! Se preocuparon de orientarnos, facilitarnos aparcamiento gratuito, en fin, nos sentimos como en casa! Con ganas de volver en verano para aprovechar la piscina y el agradable jardín. Muy recomendable

An absolute gem. The perfect place to stay and visit Carcassonne.
An absolute gem. The perfect place to stay and visit Carcassonne. A beautiful house with delightful hosts. Don’t be put off by the faded French exterior because you enter into an architecturally beautiful entrance hall and lounge area overlooking a lush green bordered pool and terrace, the perfect place to relax and cool off in the pool after wandering round the historic town. Our bedroom was spacious, quiet and very tastefully decorated blending the original features with a modern edge. The en suite was equally good. The breakfasts were varied and delicious. The house is well situated close to the new town of Carcassonne with its many varied , reasonably priced, cafes and restaurants and just a short stroll from the old town. Sadie and Joachim have thought of everything and work enthusiastically to make sure that your stay is perfect. We stayed for three nights but wish it had been longer. We very much hope to return and explore the surrounding area as we feel it would make the perfect base. An added bonus is the fact that the airport is only 15 minutes from the town so after arrival you get to your destination swiftly. Merci beaucoup Sadie and Joachim
Christine from the UK
Super ! A conseiller sans hésiter
Belle chambre donnant sur la piscine. Très belle maison. Hôtes charmants ! Un havre de paix en plein centre ville.
Un peu plus de choix au déjeuner aurait été parfait.
Florence from Belgium
I stayed at 45BB for five nights, and I loved every minute of it! The rooms are simply wonderful, very spacious, a very comfortable bed and great bathroom. The view from the room was marvellous, overlooking the swimming pool and the courtyard. What a sight to wake up to! The eating area and the outside courtyard are all tastefully decorated, and make one feel at home! Great breakfast to start the say!

45BB is very located, a few minutes from the river Aude, and a short stroll to the historic castle, you’re spoilt for choice for things to do. Would highly recommend a trip to Carcassonne!
Lodewijk from Hong Kong – Feb20
Una accogliente “casa di veri Ospiti”: luogo perfetto. Andiamo con ordine: la posizione, presso l’Old Bastide, fuori dal caos, ma vicinissima a tutto; il parcheggio, pubblico, di cui gran parte è gratuito proprio difronte all’albergo; i due owner, Sadie e Joachim (… oltre naturalmente a Juno …), informali, gentili e collaborativi (Sadie addirittura ha cucinato per mia moglie che non stava bene !!!); l’eleganza della struttura con il grazioso giardino e la piscinetta; la camera semplice, ma bella e con ogni confort … La colazione completissima … Così pet friendly da mettere a disposizione anche brandina e ciotole per il nostro cane … che cosa chiedere di più? Da tornare e da consigliare fortemente anche ai più esigenti

Accueil très chaleureux avec coupes de champagne. Le décor est fabuleux et partout une odeur hyper agréable. Établissement très bien situé. Chambre et salle de bain très soignée. et la piscine avec la canicule trop cool.

We loved everything!! This was an utterly wonderful place to have stayed. Sadie and Joachim were tru
We loved everything!! This was an utterly wonderful place to have stayed. Sadie and Joachim were truly the most hospitable owners and hosts. It’s a hidden treasure in the heart of Carcassonne. The furnishings are impeccable, the courtyard is a tranquil haven and breakfast is of an exacting standard. We really can’t praise the place enough. We are planning to come back ASAP and have been recommending to friends and family already. Thanks so much for our wonderful stay!!
John from the UK
Très joli hôtel décoré avec beaucoup de goût avec un beau jardin intérieur et une piscine. Nous avons loué le studio, mais il s’agit plutôt d’un salon et d’une chambre, donc très bonne surprise. Très propre et soigné. Literie très confortable. Les nouveaux propriétaires sont très accueillants, charmants et au petit soin de leurs clients. Nous sommes partis très tôt le matin et ils nous ont préparé un petit sac avec des croissants et des pains au chocolat pour le voyage. Excellente adresse que je recommande vivement avec un excellent qualité-prix
Martine from France – Oct19
One of the top places to stay in Carcassonne
· Very welcoming and friendly hosts who have done a great job tastefully doing up the house. A lovely spread for breakfast including fresh fruit and pastries. Walkable to the ‘cite’ in 15 minutes and just 5 to Place Carnot and some excellent restaurants which Sadie and Joachim were able to recommend. We also hired some bikes for a day. Overall a fantastic stay and wish them very best with their ongoing project for this place.
James from the UK
Welcoming, relaxing, everything we wanted and more.
“Everything! From the moment we stepped into the fragrant, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean hallway our lovely hosts treated us like friends. A welcome glass of bubbly was just the beginning! Nothing was too much trouble. The courtyard with pool and pretty garden – excellently maintained- was a real oasis in the sweltering heat and iced water, always provided, was appreciated in the record temperatures. Breakfast was lovely and Sadie sensitively accommodated our needs, including our wish to leave early one morning. Modern quiet aircon was a bonus in our room which was spacious, clean and well equipped. (Even the sockets had usb points so no adaptors needed.) There is so much about this wonderful experience that it is hard to know what to say. You will not be disappointed. It is a real gem, excellent value for money and definitely worth going to Carcassonne for!”
