There was nothing not to like

A beautiful historical House, furnished with antiques and art works. Very comfortable and equipped with modern conveniences. Exceptionally clean and in a lovely location in a small town close to the countryside by a canal and not far from the sea. A great find, with a very friendly and accommodating patron and I really look forward to returning soon! Lovely breakfast and all round excellent stay!

Lovely quiet piecful stay and close to the airport.

Excellent breakfast and the owner kindly dropped me off at Beziers Airport to save me getting a taxi.

We were there in a heatwave (about 35C). No air-conditioning. We were too hot and, despite the fan, struggled to get cool enough. My overall score of 10/10 is based on a drop to 7/10 for no air-con but back up to 10 for all the additional "going the extra mile" benefits given by our host. There isn't a lot to do or see in Portiragnes itself (although, fortuitously, we were there while a weekend festival was on which was fabulous, albeit some rural traditions weren't at all PC). Our host reserved tickets for the events for us and we felt like locals.

Quiet: I'm a light sleeper and it was perfect. Breakfast: excellent, typically French, plenty of it - I saved the pain au chocolat for our lunch. Good coffee. Great to have it ready for us on the garden terrace. All very relaxed. The 3 members of the team we saw: all very friendly and patient with our rusty French. "Quirky" is the word I'd use for the whole place (which I see other reviewers chose). Several generations of family seem to have accumulated all sorts of stuff inside and around the extensive garden. The photos are accurate. Owner's flexibility: he was able to accommodate our early arrival time (11am) and early (7.15am) breakfast on our last day. He even volunteered to take us to the airport. Fridge is not in the room - it's a family-size fridge near the kitchen which we had access to (and freezer). We were also able to use the kitchen for preparing lunches and cutting fruit. Clothes airer is the washing line in the garden - ideal for drying beach towels and swimwear. A small Spar supermarket is around the corner but watch out for their opening hours: open 07.30-12.30 and 16.00-19.30 Mon-Sat and 08.30-12.30 Sun. Local restaurants (but not many of them): recommended by our owner. We went back 3 times to our favourite. Proximity of Beziers airport - 10-15 mins away by car. Proximity of the beaches at Portiragnes-Plage. 4km by bike. We had asked to hire bikes from our host in advance. Note that the bike hire on offer is a drive away (3.5km), near the beach but we were without car - our host took us there in his car and picked us up on our last evening when we handed the bikes back. 35 Euros each for 3 days (including helmets and a lock). Lots of lovely cycle routes which were along the Canal du Midi (very close) or on special cycle-ways.

Wonderful welcome from Jean-Louis and Laurent and breakfast from Katy. Beautiful house in a great, quiet town. Perfect for us and highly recommended. Short taxi trip to Beziers airport

Due to the age of the property, there was no air conditioning in our room. In very hot summer weather, the room might be uncomfortably warm at night for people not used to the heat.

Interesting old property, full of charm. Beautifully decorated. The owners were very welcoming and the breakfast spread was copious. We were thankful to have been allocated a parking space in the driveway. The beach is a short drive away. Perfect location to catch an early flight from Béziers airport nearby.

Bathroom didnt have a door only a curtain

Loved the hotel and situation 👌 The owner was so friendly and welcoming

The parking was poorly signposted and badly lit. We arrived late at night and were unsure if we were in the correct place, even with GPS. There were cats wandering around on the ground floor on our arrival. No door (just a curtain) between the bedroom and the bathroom.

Pleasant hosts. Bed was very comfortable, Reasonable rates. Great breakfast - lovely home baked bread, jams and a wide variety of different foods.

Super friendly and helpful host. Despite the fact that we speak very little French he made us feel welcome. He accommodated us with a very early, very French, breakfast. The property is old but oh so charming. We loved every minute of it. Merci Monsieur

Quirky traditional house with a very helpful and welcoming set of hosts. Children felt very welcome and loved the cat entertainment. Drink upon arrival, places to visit and eat explained and taxi booked for us to airport in the morning. Breakfast was lovely as was the lady who prepared it (and the tasty jams).

Just to tell something, the parking is narrow and quite difficult to get out but even there our hosts helped us

Absolutely amazing! Our hosts were super friendly and did their best to make our time with them as comfortable as possible. Spacious room, garden, derogation all over the place with great taste, you name it! Spacious bathroom, quite room and comfortable facilities.

The bed felt a bit rickety, but haven't said that I had a great sleep

The hosts are so friendly and helpful. I love the house, the decoration, and the beautiful idyllic garden, all colourful and laidback. Stress can't exist in this place. The town is small, but the restaurant we ate at was very good. It's a lovely bike ride from the beach, but hasn't got the touristy noisy feel like the towns at the beach front. The airport is really close and we biked over at the end of our bike tour. The airport is small, and ideal for bike tourers (luggage is unlikely to be lost, and possibly handled with a bit more care).

We love cats but were not comfortable with the smell of cat urine in the reception area.

The exceptional attention to our needs. The host was very helpful giving us a lift from the bus stop to the accommodation and booking a table at a local restaurant.
