Maison des Artists

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.

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.

Beautiful home in peaceful setting with excellent hosts. Very comfortable en-suite room. Ideal for a relaxing winter or summer break.

A beautiful house with fantastic pool and garden; the perfect place to relax and unwind. The surrounding location offers an abundance of activities from wine tasting to tree trekking and canoeing. The hosts, Wendy and Derek, provide an excellent breakfast and are incredibly committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The rooms are both spotless and spacious, and provide everything necessary for a comfortable stay. A thank you to our hosts, we had a wonderful holiday!

A wonderful place. After a short drive from Beziers airport we were relaxing by the pool. Our bedroom & en suite bathroom were large, spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast, outside on the terrace, was delightful; fresh, healthy and so much of it! Wendy & Derek were great hosts; friendly, welcoming and helpful, but also giving us the privacy to enjoy our stay undisturbed. It was a pleasure to meet them both. Laurens was the perfect location to strike out and experience the area. Our holiday was made quite magical by our stay at Maison des Artist. We‘d love to return. Thank you both.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maison des Artists, the house is airy and colourful, our room had all we needed, and the pool and garden are delightful, both during the day and night! Wendy and Derek were wonderful hosts, very helpful when needed but also giving their guests space. They were also very obliging enabling our son who was working in France to come and stay for a couple of nights. Breakfast was delicious too. The village is full of character, there is a fantastic, reasonably priced local restaurant with delicious wine. We only wished we could have stayed longer.

Wendy and derick are perfect hosts; available but retiring to give you a perfect stay. They know their france well and can share their thoughts entertainigly. The pool and garden have been put together with care and love. The agricultural traffic at the front can be mostly excluded by the well restored window double glazing. The breakfasts , outside , are great . the house is well named ; enjoy the art
