We really enjoyed our stay at 45BB. The room was spacious and extremely clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast each morning was thoroughly enjoyable and was a great start to our day. The pool area was really nice and it was lovely to be able to chat to the other guests whilst relaxing. Sadie and Joachim were exceptional hosts and made us feel very welcome and they were both really helpful and friendly throughout our stay. We would definitely stay at 45BB again if we return to Carcassonne.

Nigel United Kingdom

Beautiful property with tranquil courtyard garden and swimming pool. Breakfast in the courtyard was a particular highlight. Sadie and Joachim were friendly and attentive hosts, and happy to share their local knowledge - they recommended two excellent restaurants in Carcassonne and a third in Trèbes for our onward travels. We will return!

Edward United Kingdom

The location of the property was excellent. Very close to shops and attractions in Carcassonne. The breakfast was well presented and very tasty . The owners are superb hosts and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and equipped with everything you need for a luxurious stay . Friends and I stayed for 5 days for a birthday break and were pleasantly surprised by a bottle to celebrate given by Sadie and Joachim. My husband and I intend to make several trips to Carcassonne and will be staying here every time.

Allyson United Kingdom

The welcome we received from the owners Sadie and Joachim plus Juno too! this is the best B&B we have ever stayed in. The rooms are very clean and beds are so comfortable. There are a lot of personal touches such as homemade soaps etc., Breakfasts we’re good and to have Yorkshire gold tea was a bonus! We would all recommend anyone visiting Carcassonne to stay here.

Sadie & Joachim
Your hosts Sadie, Joachim and resident mini schnauzer Juno, look forward to welcoming you to our home, 45BB - a premier guest house located in the heart of the Old Bastide in Carcassonne. 45BB is a period property that is nearly 200 years old having undergone renovations to upgrade and provide en-suites and air conditioning in all the rooms, to make your stay even more comfortable. Each room is furnished with hotel standard beds, pure cotton bed linen, and stylish contemporary furnishings with coffee and tea making facilities, kettle, mini fridge, luggage rack, wardrobe, desk and flat screen SMART television with satellite feed. Free wifi (fibre) is provided throughout the property. The only guest house in the centre of town with our own courtyard garden, in ground swimming pool and air conditioned rooms. There is a wide selection of eateries, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and retail outlets all within walking distance of the property.
45BB is first and foremost our family home and we love to open it to guests, to share and enjoy it. We are always open to suggestions and have made a number of improvements and additions as a result of suggestions that we have received. No other guest house in the Old Bastide offers you en-suite shower rooms, air conditioning/heating, mini fridges, fibre wifi throughout and Smart televisions with Astra Europe satellite feed, for your comfort and enjoyment. Apart from all these facilities, we also have an in-ground pool - a haven in our summers!
Carcassonne has a huge selection and variety to offer from restaurants, shops, entertainment, historical sites to sporting activities including cycling and boating along the canal du midi. The old cite of Carcassonne is a 20 minute walk while Narbonne, on the Mediterranean coast, is only a half hour's drive, and the Pyrenees less than 2 hours away, for summer hikes or winter skiing. We would be happy to suggest any number of activities that may be of interest to you, or simply ensure your stay is relaxing and enjoyable.
