This 150 yr old, English-owned bed and breakfast guest house is adjacent to the 1000 year old circular wall of Saint Genies de Fontedit, a small wine-growing village, just 15km north of Beziers, 30 minutes from the beaches of the south coast. Whilst a lot of time has been spent on upgrading facilities, the house retains all of its character and many of its original features. All the oak beams used in the roof structure have been treated and left revealed. Original terracotta tiles have been uncovered and are slowly being cleaned, restored and sealed. The cherry orchard is the perfect place to relax. Like many homes in the centre of centuries-old French villages, the garden is separate from the house. It is in fact, a cherry orchard and just 400mtrs down the road from the house. Almost invisible from the lane, nestling among the vineyards, your hosts have created a haven for their guests to relax in either sun or shade and enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside. There is a barbecue for the use of their guests and areas of sun and shade have been created to offer you the perfect place to devour your paperbacks or just top up your tan. The dining room is large and airy and a comfortable sitting room with a library of paperbacks is available to guests at all times. The decor throughout the house exudes a feeling of calm and tranquillity that complements the peacefulness of the lovely village. Evening meals on request and by prior arrangement only THE HOUSE IS A STRICTLY NO-SMOKING AREA
