The mill is in a fantastic location with amazing views across the surrounding countryside. The renovation of the mill is extremely well done and it is well-equipped, despite its size, so we had all that we needed for a two week stay. We loved the quirkiness of the place.
The pool is beautiful and well maintained and the solar panel heating made it even more inviting. The owners have put a lot of effort into providing a number of seating areas around the grounds, as well as having the private terrace for the mill.
There is a bit of a drive to the large supermarkets, but there is a shop in the village which is only a short walk away. We visited castles, museums, cities and beaches so there's a wide variety of things to do within driving distance.
The owners were very helpful and friendly, from our first contact to the end of our stay. We would definitely recommend the mill to others.

My husband and I stayed at The Sloping Roof Mill in September 2017 for 10 days, and had a wonderful relaxing holiday.
We loved the rural location and view overlooking the vineyards.
The Mill was very well equipped and the pool area was marvellous with other areas available to sit and relax in the gardens
Margaret and Alan were very helpful , made us feel very welcome and the dogs were constant companions. We had a great time helping harvest grapes.
Montlaur has a small supermarket, but the Bistro is closed, there was also a local butcher and a market on Tuesday evenings.
There are local restaurants close by which require a car journey, Carcassonne and Le Cite are amazing, also worth a visit is Lagrasse, Roubia( great restaurant, La Fourchette Folle) Minervois, medieval town, Lovely restaurants, and Homps ( La Peniche) for trip on Canal du Midi, Trebes has an excellent supermarket. Loads of local vineyards to visit
Would thoroughly recommend and hope to return one day !

Sloping Top Mill is in a beautiful location and gave us a perfect holiday. Alan and Margaret the owners are very helpful. The mill is amazing place to stay and I would recommend a stay there. Close to a small village that has a shop, pharmacy, butcher. Carcassonne a short drive away there is plenty to do if you want to or it can be very relaxing if that's your thing. Fully intend to visit again amazing place to stay.

One of two converted windmills perched with the owners house atop their own hill, the property enjoys fantastic views and a beautiful pool maintained by the ever helpful Allan. Very compact accommodation is provided, but the village below has an excellent shop and friendly wine producers. The location is excellent for exploring the 'Cathar' castles and historic villages, with easy access to Narbonne Plage if you wish.
