Our experience of Carcassonne was not what we had hoped mostly due to the torrential rain that made sight seeing impossible. Also, we could not find anywhere for a meal until after 7pm. At the hotel, the room was pretty squashy and nowhere to sit comfortably. There was a dining table downstairs but no lounge or bar area. Hot water was great, bed was ok and breakfast was adequate. The owner was very hospitable and accommodating where possible. Parking the car was a dream as the hotel has it’s own carpark.k
