We stayed here for three nights in October. Val and Mike normally would have closed the pool but kept it open knowing my son would have liked to swim. That was lovely. We ended up not swimming,... We had in our previous B&B near Uzes but the weather was a touch colder here. Val had recently had a knee operation... More

Le Vieux Relais is a beautiful house located in the heart of the languedoc wine region.It is owned by an English couple who were very welcoming and catered for our every need.

We stayed here in Aug 2012 for 2 weeks with our 5-year-old and 19-month-old. We had such an amazing time. Everyday, we did something different. Somedays we went back and did the same thing because, we enjoyed it so much, like cycling along Canal du Midi. Val and Mike were so helpful, I really think that we couldn't have had... More

A warm welcome and a very authentic and personal approach to hospitality. We spent a very enjoyable evening having a delicious dinner with Val and Mike. They have converted the Relais with quiet style which has preserved the character of the old house, but provides excellent comfort. We loved the terra cotta (and C19th painted) floor tiles; Mike's sparkling conversation... More

Val and Mike couldn't do enough to ensure that we got the most from our holiday, whether it was providing information about places to visit... More

This was our second consecutive year with Val and Mike and it felt like going to a home from home with friends. The place meets our needs perfectly, so much so that we drive 900kms from Spain to stay there in the lovely downstairs suite. We were treated excellently and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them again. We stayed for... More

We had a lovely time with Val and Mike. It was like staying with old friends. They were warm and generous – it was clear that they really wanted us to enjoy our holiday. They made very helpful suggestions for activities, booked restaurants for us and lent us chairs for our picnics by the lake. We had a relaxed and... More

I recently spent 4 nights with my husband at Le Vieux Relais. The room was more like a suite, huge with a comfortable sitting area overlooking the court yard and pool. En suite shower with full size bath and separate toilet. The court yard provides a pleasant area to sit and enjoy a glass of local wine (very inexpensive) in... More
