The overall impression of Le Couvent is one of friendliness. Before we arrived, we had developed a great sense of the hosts and the house from the Le Couvent blog - a must read for anyone planning a visit. This established an expectation of Le Couvent and we were not disappointed. After the warm welcome at the front gate, we were invited into the kitchen for a coffee and a chat. This establishes a friendly rapport with Lizzie and Ali and makes you feel very much part
of the household - just like visiting old friends.

The kitchen is the centre of the Le Couvent. The breakfasts were wonderful and the kitchen was always available for that extra cuppa during the day - just like at home. The bedroom was comfortable and welcoming. The front courtyard is delightfull and the scene of much laughter at evening drinks. The presence of the family dogs and cat add to the ambience of a welcoming home.

Lizzie and Allie were wonderful hosts. They were available when needed
and their knowledge of the area was excellent. Le Couvent is a home away from home and our hosts made our stay very enjoyable. We would love to go back again.

We were so fortunate to have found such a wonderful place to stay. Lizzie and Ali were the most gracious hosts! Lizzie cooked us eggs every morning and we had pastries, fruit, bread, it was endless and such a treat! Our rooms were very comfortable ...Lizzie and Ali answered all our questions regarding the area and travel in and around Roujan. The town is quaint and wonderful. We highly recommend staying at Le Couvent..you will not be disappointed. Thanks to Lizzie for helping us with our car rental in Montpelliar!! Don't let your trip to Southern France end without a stop at this Marvelous Bed and Breakfast. Le Couvent exceeded our expectations! What a blessing for us!

It is difficult to say any more than has already been said by the many satisfied visitors to this charming Chambre D'hote set amongst the vineyards of Languedoc. Lizzie and Ali create a unique atmosphere of calm and tranquility in which to unwind and chill out. Nothing is too much trouble and at the end of our stay it felt like we had just visited old friends rather than complete strangers. We will definately return (with a Sat Nav) to try out more of the fabulous and inexpensive restaurants recommended by our charming hosts.

What a wonderful find! I almost feel I shouldn't write a review as lots of people will read how fantastic it is and book it up so that it will be full next time we want to go!

The rooms are lovely and simple and the Blue Room was large, comfortable, light and airy. A complimentary bottle of wine was in our room on arrival too which was a great touch.

Breakfasts were amazing and full of all sorts of local and homemade produce. Lizzie gets up at what seems like the crack of dawn (still dark!) and potters off to walk the dogs, then shops for all the goodies for that day's guests to devour.

I certainly didn't feel as though I was being watched whilst eating and Lizzie is an exempliary host making sure that we all had full cups of tea, coffee, orange juice and plates full to bursting the whole time!

Not sure what was meant in a previous review about re-cycled breakfast - I think they must have meant that left overs get re-cycled to the chickens (I am hoping to come back as one of Lizzie and Ali's chickens of course now I know just what they get, lucky hens!).

What is lovely too is if you have a cup of tea in the afternoon Lizzie offers any sticky buns left over from breakfast to eat with it! This is a great way of re-cycling and I'm all for that as well even if the chickens do miss out on occasion!

All in all a wonderful stay for 2 weary UK B&B'ers who, having just done from January to September were extremely glad that someone else was preparing the breakfast and looking after us for a change!

Don't hesitate to book Le Couvent, you will not be disappointed I can assure you!
