appartement très fonctionnel en bord d’étang acceptant les animaux
appartement parfait pour 2 personnes, en bord d’étang avec un jardinet très joliment aménagé, bien situé près du port. Seul défaut il se trouve le long d'une route très passagère en été. Une suggestion: un voilage dans la chambre serait un plus. La propriétaire est très à l'écoute du bien-être de ses locataires et accepte les animaux.

Excellent property in Lovely little Town
Very comfortable apartment with good facilities - certainly miss the shower! Easy walk into town to get the bread each morning, and to visit the many restaurants. The weather was good so we could eat our breakfasts and occasional lunch or dinner on the terrace. Owner and the local caretaker couldn't have been more helpful. Marseillan is a very pleasant town and there are so many places nearby to visit. We have been to the area many times and although it's busier and places have grown it still remains unspoiled. La Scribote was certainly one of the best rentals we have had.

Apartment inside as described but on noisy fast road
A little disappointed as the location left a lot to be desired with constant noise of traffic and although there is a view of the lake it's rather industrial.
Inside the apartment was exactly as described and we have no complaints on that score. The parking was compromised as the owners did not leave a key for the car park. The rear entrance hall light was never fixed which meant it was in total darkness on returning to the apartment.

Thank you for the feed-back!
I regret the traffic noise. Unfortunately the traffic was worse than normally during your stay because the main road in town was closed for roadworks and a large part of the traffic was directed through the road past the apartment. As the apartment is located in an urban area there is always some traffic. I will add it to the advert.
I agree that the view in the direction of the vinecooperative is industrial. As you do not see it from the sitting group on the terrace I do not pay so much attention to it. You have to get down to the gate to get that view.
I do not understand your problem with the keys. In the safetybox there was one set of 2 keys, one for the apartment and one for the gate leading to the parking and another identical set of keys inside the apartment. There was also a remote control to the gate to the main yard but you were not allowed to keep your car there, only on your own yard as it is said in the advert. This misunderstanding would have been avoided if you had contacted the housekeeper who lives close to the apartment.
I am very sorry for the nonworking light in the hall, it is fixed now.

All you need from a holiday apartment
This is very well positioned for the town bars and restaurants, the apartment had all you need for a great stay, clean and it was well equiped.
If we return to the area, we would stay at La Scribote, I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.

Well Placed
We stayed in this convenient apartment for six weeks during July and August.
The apartment is easy to find and only a short distance from the bars and restaurants near the canal leading into the étang.
There is ample parking in the garden in front of the apartment. Entry is gained via a secure key-coded gate.
There's everything you could want in the holiday let, ample cutlery and crockery, pans and utensils etc.
Air conditioning is available which is a great feature during the hotter weeks of summer.
We kayaked on the étang throughout the holiday and this place is so close to the water that it's only a 2 minute walk to the shoreline.
Wifi was good without any issues.
The owner always answered any queries we had and was most helpful. Our security deposit was returned very promptly.
