The Experience

A village house with thoroughly easy-going owners: artist Derek (you’ll see his water colours on the walls) and designer Wendy (who organises monthly jazz concerts) have knocked down walls to create lots of light and space. Find high ceilings, terracotta tiles and golden beams – plenty of books, sculptures and rugs create a homely, but not cluttered, feel. Bedrooms have the best linen and are soft and fresh; the bathroom has a power shower and white robes. The triple room is only available when taken together with the double room – excellent for families. Pay extra for a generous breakfast at one long table, or sleep in and grab something in the village later. Discover the quiet, fecund garden; cool off in the sparkling pool.

Reviews

What delightful people with a house that just opens its doors wide to welcome you. The garden is a joy. Peaceful, totally private and lush with greenery and flowers. This is a real Chambre d'Hôte, genuine, unpretentious and perfect for a real holiday..

Wendy and Derek are welcoming hosts and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We had a good-sized and comfortable bedroom, and the whole site benefited from the gardens and swimming pool. We opted to have breakfast every day on the large outdoor table by the kitchen - delicious with fresh fruit and breads. The swimming pool is great - clean and set back from the rest of the property - and surrounded by greenery.

We just spent a wonderful week at Wendy and Derek's. They immediately made us feel at home, and we had the pool, and all the very nice space surrounding it (including the summer kitchen and bbq) to ourselves. We did spend a couple of days just lazing by the pool, reading, looking at the stars at night, and then spent the other days exploring the area which is so beautiful. Great to walk to the bakery in the morning (5 min walk) to get a croissant and baguette and then eat breakfast by the pool! We can't recommend it enough! Thank you so much Wendy and Derek for making our stay so unforgetable


Steve, Market Harborough

Wonderful week spent with the delightful Wendy and Derek at Artistes. We were made to feel at home and our dog immediately took to the place. The garden and pool are superb and the breakfasts started the days brilliantly. Lauren’s is a great place to explore this region and there are several excellent restaurants nearby


Deirdre and Kevin

We were made very welcome by Wendy Ogg and Derick Corke Our room was spacious and comfortable with an en-suite. Outside was a lovely pool and outside kitchen at our disposal, but most of all we felt very relaxed to come and go as we pleased, and even had friends round. We will definitely go again to Wendy and Derick's beautiful house.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Wendy Ogg

  • We are easy going and enjoy guests coming to our house to experience all that the South of France has to offer. We have been doing B&B for years. Many guests have come to house hunt and end up buying here in the village! It's possible to book mid week.
  • We offer luxury B&B with exclusive use of the pool at all times. Breakfast is optional, there is a summer kitchen for you up at the pool & BBQ, We have many ‘chill out’ areas in the garden or at the pool, lovely by day & candle-light in the evening.
  • Languedoc is the largest producer of wine in the world. Laurens is a wine producing village situated between mountains & the Mediterranean, in some of the most beautiful scenery in France. Plenty to explore here with amenities a short walk from the house
  • Some of the best beaches in South of France are 18 miles to the South of us. Water sports are catered for and you will find a large range of excellent cafes & seafood restaurants.Note: Our property is not suitable for guests with extreme mobility issues.
  • Activities throughout the year, monthly Jazz concerts in the house & garden, wine tasting, chateau exploring, French markets - Pezenas, Clermont-l’Herault, beaches, golf, canoeing, village fetes, Beziers Feria, horseriding, hill walking, caving & karting.
  • Getting here is easy, lots of cheap flights from UK to Beziers all year, also to Perpignan, Carcassonne, Nimes, Montpellier. All these cities are fabulous to visit. You can also travel on the excellent TGV train from London right down to Beziers.
