We stayed with Robin and Val at the end of September. Having read the earlier reviews we can do no better than agree wholeheartedly with absolutely everything positive that has already been said. La Cardabela is, for us, a fantastic find. We will be back to visit our new 'old' friends next year and meantime have no hesitation in recommending... more

I knew Robin seven years ago when he was building La Cardabela. I knew he would create a lovely house. Finally, after seven years we got to go and stay for a week. The house is beautiful with shiny tiled floors, white walls and wooden doors. There are all mod cons and electric shutters at the windows.The patio offers wonderful... more

Our third visit in three months! The hospitality fantastic - I would recommend to anyone. We loved the location so much, we are now buying a house in the Village! more

This is one of the best Chambre d’Hotes we have stayed at. Val and Robin are excellent hosts who made sure that we had everything we needed for a perfect week.

We cannot give enough praise to La Cardabela and Robin and Val Nichols.

The house is very clean and the rooms spacious and comfortable with views across the vineyards to the Pyrenees in the distance. The breakfast is always fresh and any other food you might have carefully prepared and delicious. Robin & Val are the perfect B&B... more

What a welcome, both Robin and Val are the perfect hosts. With wonderful accommodation and excellent cuisine, good wine and lovely ambiance. Their knowledge of the area and advice on where to go was invaluable. Pool and views superb. Excellent value for money. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. Colin & Lynn more

Just had another fantastic week at the (in our opinion) most hospitable and best Chambre D'Hote in France. Took our 2 grown up "kids" as well this time and they were bowled over. It's not just the location - which is amazing -but like us they found the house absolutely perfect and Robin and Val just the most amazing hosts.... more

From the moment the host rushed out to grab our cases and carry them to our rooms to the moment we waved our hosts/friends goodbye at the end of the week, we couldn't fault the accommodation, service, cooking and all-round friendliness of the experience at La Cardabela. The house is in a super setting, on the edge of a delightful... more
