Maison De L'Orb

Just spent a few days in Beziers on route back to the USA from Spain. Beziers itself is an interesting place to visit, full of little nooks and sights and some great places to eat. We were recommended to stay at Maison De L'Orb by some friends who had stayed last year and were impressed by their welcome. We were also impressed by their welcome and the complimentary wine and cakes on offer. The bedrooms (we booked three) were excellent with good comfy beds, good bathroom facilities and ample storage for a few days stay. If staying for a week I would believe some people may struggle with storage on offer although this is perfectly normal for a small B & B especially bearing in mind the price (we paid 30€ per person per night). Breakfast was lovely, fresh coffee and pastries, lots of fruit, cheese and meats and yoghurts so enough for everybody - and there were refills. We were unable to stay for dinner although the smell of whatever was cooking was lovely. The house itself is lovely in character, lots of things to look at, books to read and objects to admire. If minimalist decor is your thing then Maison De L'Orb is definitely not your place. Despite this the place was clean. It was also lovely to meet other guests. Recommended and thank you for a lovely stay. Love to Oscar the dog! xx

Thank you Mark & Ben for a lovely few days stay on our way home to Canada. You have a lovely home (albeit a bit difficult to find at first - our problem!) but it was worth it. You are both very talented hosts and have a lovely home which is totally quirky and individual. The bedroom was excellent with great views of your lovely garden and the river - lovely sunset and the sounds of ducks waking us up. The breakfast was outstanding - usually French B & Bs offer bread and cafe but you offered so much more and thank you for my soya milk! I would recommend to others having dinner with you which was excellent, generous portions and great wine. We are hoping to continue our European travels next year and if Beziers features on our Itinerary we shall we back. Merci! xx (Tracey and Bill Trent)

Thank you - a wonderful four night stay, great hospitality, superb bedroom and clean bathroom and an outstanding breakfast which was truly a feast! You both made us feel very much at home. Your B & B is delightful and an excellent location overlooking the river. We shall return x

Visited July with partner for three nights. Great location and lovely welcoming hosts. Lovely wine on arrival and beautiful clean bedroom and bathroom. We spent one day in the garden as they have a pool (plus it was too hot to do anything) and Mark and Ben served us food and drinks in the garden. Breakfast was amazing with fruits, breads, pastries, REAL butter, juices and meats and cheeses. Will stay again.

Two night stay on way into Spain - Mark & Ben have really made their B &B welcoming and inviting with a lovely garden and pool (NOT mentioned when we booked) and a fantastic bedroom. For the price we didn't expect it to be this good with an excellent breakfast and a lovely lounge full of books. They both recommended some excellent places to eat and had lots of brochures. When we arrived Mark gave us some wine and home made cookies which was lovely. Would e book if we came back to this area.

Great few days relaxing in garden and pool. Lovely clean bedroom with bonus extras which we didn't expect. Breakfast was outstanding. The house is unusual, not a typical B & B nor a hotel but with great hosts and impeccable service. Thank you.

Thank you Mark and Ben for a wonderful weekend in Beziers. You really have a lovely homr by the river and hopefully we will be back very soon. The bedroom was lovely with clean bathroom and shower and the breakfast was amazing. Best part was sitting in the pool (unexpected!) and having a glass of chilled wine. Well done guys - amazing!

Stayed May 2012, made to feel very welcome when we arrived with lovely home made cakes and drinks. Stayed three nights in a nice room overlooking garden. I liked the quaint old fashioned style of the house coupled with some nifty modern touches like free wifi and a lovely hot power shower. Was expecting a normal breakfast and was surprised by the quality and quantity on offer. Left very happy and already booked to return in September for longer as Mark & Ben are excellent hosts. RECOMMENDED

Stayed April 2012 for three nights - lovely bedroom, clean linen and bathroom. Lovely hospitality tray in bedroom and the breakfast was outstanding - lots of home made pastries, cheeses, meats, fruit, eggs etc. Excellent location and our hosts had lots of recommendations on what to see and where to go. The house is full of character and nice touches.

Stayed in September for three nights, busy with other guests. Excellent breakfast, lovely reading room and garden. The owners also provided a lovely four course home made dinner and made us feel welcome. Daily housekeeping and just little nice touches. We have booked to stay again.
