After reading the great reviews I booked two nights at La Maison de la Riviere. It's in an ideal location and our rooms (we were with friends) overlooked the river and the old bridge. We were given a very warm welcome and later on enjoyed an excellent dinner for 20 euros per head. There were 'aperos' in wonderful handblown glasses... More

This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful house - so calm and tranquil. This time we stopped for just two days as we were touring the area. Roy and Jo instantly make you feel at home; a welcoming glass of a local white wine at the end of a long road journey was a lovely gesture.... More

Had a great overnight stay here in Esperaza. Roy was a very helpful host recommending near by sites. We especially enjoyed Allet les Bains on our route to Carcasonne. The breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Our room was excellent with a small balcony with table and chairs to enjoy a cool glass of wine supplied by Roy on our arrival.... More

I just spent 5 days at this lovely little B&B and highly recommend it to all. The house is immaculate and has a warm feel. Roy and his wife take great pride in taking care of all the details. My room was so cozy and breakfast was delicious. It is right in the main part of town but very tranquil.... More

And the beds are really comfortable too! A beautiful French house on the river in a lovely town, this place deserves its great reviews because they really go that extra mile - attention to detail, delicious breakfasts and great conversation - what more could you want.

Esperaza and its immediate surroundings are a dream. Roy and Jo are the perfect hosts and all the rooms are beautiful. Walking, cycling and fun on the river in the heat of the day was met by the very warm welcome and Roy offering cold beer or a glass of Rose on our return. Quite exceptional. The perfect B&B.

As well as agreeing with what others have said about large rooms, good location, modern bathrooms, etc., I'd like to add that one of the real benefits to me was the knowledge of the area that Jo and Roy are willing to share. Their information, for instance, about Resistance activities in the region gave my visit, and my hiking, a... More

Stayed here while visiting nearby Rennes-le-Chateau. The building is exquisite, tons of personality, with a great location right on the town square, and a regular street market just outside the door. The "Table d'Hotes" was excellent, both for the food served and the conversation with the hosts, who were well acquainted with the legends and lore of the area.

Being a regular to the area, we were on one of our scheduled visits. We really enjoyed the stay at La Maison de la Riviere. The rooms are excellent, as is the breakfast. You couldn't ask for more ..... I would definately recommend a stay here.
