Larkfield is a beautiful Chambres d'hôte (Bed and Breakfast) built in the early nineties, we are just off of the main A75 'toll free', motorway from Clermont Ferrand to Bezier (there is now a small toll for the viaduct at Millau but this is worth paying just for the experience let alone the time saved, it can be bypassed). We are then very easy to find being between Soubes & the A75, less than a kilometre from the autoroute junction 52. The village is also under an hours drive from Montpellier international airport with cheap flights from both Ryan Air (Stansted) and Flybe (Gatwick). We are only 1.5 motorway hours from the Spanish border where there is cheap shopping, just off the motorway. Larkfield is a good stop off point on a road trip to Spain. The same autoroute makes transit to the coast much quicker, the nearest beach is now just 35 minutes away by A75.

We overlook the small historic village of Soubes. For better amenities the historic town of Lodève is only 5 km away with restaurants, supermarkets and petrol stations. The Region has much to offer and the nearby coast is one of the best anywhere. We will be pleased to give advice when we know your interests. We have a truly exceptional restaurant nearby "Le temps de vivre", The Chef learnt his trade in a 3 star Michelin restaurant in Montpellier.

Outside is a large landscaped, garden with lots of fruit trees. Figs, apricot, pear and apple are just a few. There are plenty of trees at the top of the garden for shade when it gets a bit too hot. The large terraced space outside the house has an eating area with a barbeque. The views are amazing at all times of the year and day (or night) from the house, garden, pool and terrace. There is plenty of secure off road parking.

The private and secluded, salt water (much better than chlorine as it does not irritate skin or eyes, the salt level is much lower than the sea, about 10% of the salinity of the sea and hardly noticeable), mosaic swimming pool measures 4 x 10 metres so you can actually swim in it. It has a wide tiled surround for sunbathing, a further barbeque and an independent pump house with outside shower. Sun loungers are provided plus table and chairs to take drinks and food, we supply plastic plates and glasses to give added safety for all. Towels may be taken to the pool but we request that you do not take them to the beach as they can get stained. The pool is fenced and gated for child safety reasons and for their safety we ask you to keep the gate closed if no adult is present. Lighting, even underwater, is provided for balmy summer evenings. Swimming in the evening after a warm day is especially pleasant as the water feels very warm and the air is still warm when you get out. Even if you do not wish to swim the views make it a nice place to sit. A bubble cover has been added last summer (2006) to hold the heat in overnight so raising the daytime temperature.

The accommodation is modern and comfortable.
In the winter gas central heating ensures your comfort.
To respect other's comfort, smokers are requested to use the outside areas. There are suitable covered areas in case the weather is poor.
Optional English Breakfasts, Evening Meals and Packed Lunches can be provided. These can be taken in your room, the terrace or the upstairs dining room.
