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.

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..
Inspected Diana Sawday's Inspector
Kate, London

This is a charming place hidden away behind unostentatious house fronts in the village of Laurens. But behind is a lovely garden full of flowers and a secluded swimming pool and shaded kitchen/sitting area. This is a wonderfully relaxing place to be. Wendy and Derek are lovely hosts and think of everything you might need - a phone charger with multiple sockets, a UK adapter (if you've forgotten yours) and a great selection of books and guides. Wendy can prepare an ample and delicious breakfast if you want it. We want to go back.

Wendy and Derek are simply the best! We came very last minute after 10pm on a Sunday night because our Airbnb host bailed on us and they did everything to be able to host us that night. They were above charming with us! The house is simply beautiful, very comfortable, everything has been carefully thought off and made to ensure a perfect stay! From the beautiful and large pool with a picnic set to the bottle of wine in the parental suite: everything was perfection! Thank you again so much!!! Lucie, Thomas, Beranger & Ophélie

BLISSFUL. We arrived Sunday and the local restaurant was closed, Wendy and Derek kindly cooked us a dinner after our long journey in there wonderful garden with candles and lights. Spent two weeks and left feeling amazing, such a pretty place, relaxing around the pool. Walk to bakery and restaurant. Wendy and Derek are so helpful and knowledgeable of the area and recommended excellent places to visit. Wendy makes an excellent Gin and Tonic! Was a fabulous two weeks and excellent hosts.

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.
