The historic town of Lodeve, situated in the scenic Languedoc Roussillon region of southern France and only 30 minutes from the cosmopolitan city of Montpellier, offers bed and breakfast travelers cultural attractions such as the Cathedral of St. Fulcran and the Musee Fleury, markets and numerous events, such as Bastille Day. The natural scenery around Lodeve offers much to see and do whether by car, on foot, bicycle or horseback. The beaches are half an hour away. The Lac du Salagou offers water sports of all kinds and there are several amazing caves and delightful vineyards. Nearby bed and breakfast travelers can explore many picturesque villages including St Guilhem le Desert, Lacoste and Soubes, and historic sites like the fortified village of La Couvertoirade, Le Prieure Saint-Michel de Grandmont, a monastery and Le Pont du Diable, the oldest medieval bridge in France.
Larkfield is a beautiful Chambres d'hôte built in the early nineties, 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). The hotel is 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 (Stanstead) and FlyBe(Gatwick). Larkfield is only 2 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.
