The Experience
A village house with 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 (the main one with air conditioning) 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 – fruit, breads and pastries fresh from the bakery – or sleep in and wander down to the village to eat later. There’s a lovely, relaxed feel here so you can feel very much at home.
Spend time in the pretty garden, use the summer kitchen by the pool, cool off with a few lengths on hot days – the pool is all yours, or sit under the shade of the covered veranda with a glass of something cool and a good book. You’re surrounded by greenery and the atmosphere is tranquil – just the ticket.

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

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

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.

Location
The neighbourhood
Set off on lovely walks through the verdant countryside, swim in the river, taste wines and have tours – this is excellent winegrowing country. There's a good farm shop and winery in the village, walk to the local stores or drive ten minutes into town for a supermarket. Béziers is the nearest train station and airport, a 45-minute drive, and you're close to Montpellier and Pézenas.
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've 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 and BBQ by the pool. We have many ‘chill out’ areas in the garden or at the pool, lovely by day and candle-light in the evening.
- Languedoc is the largest producer of wine in the world. Laurens is a wine-producing village situated between mountains and the Mediterranean, in some of France's most beautiful scenery. 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'll find a large range of excellent cafes and seafood restaurants. Our property is not suitable for guests with extreme mobility issues.
- Activities throughout the year, monthly jazz concerts in the house and garden, wine tasting, château exploring, markets - Pézenas, Clermont-l’Hérault, beaches, golf, canoeing, village fêtes, Béziers Feria, horse riding, hill walking, caving and karting.
- Getting here is easy, lots of cheap flights from UK to Béziers all year, also to Perpignan, Carcassonne, Nîmes, Montpellier. All these cities are fabulous to visit. You can also travel on the excellent TGV train from London right down to Béziers.

Introducing
Wendy Ogg
Artist Derek (you’ll see his watercolours on the walls) and designer Wendy (who organises monthly jazz concerts) are a thoroughly easy-going couple. Well travelled, they have lived here for over 20 years and are thoroughly integrated into the community. Weather permitting, you'll find them in their gorgeous garden with their friendly dog.
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.
