Detailed Reviews
My home away from home! I, myself and my 2 grown-up children + the last time in september, my 3 year old granddaughter, had a wonderful time in this lovely B&B. The warm reception by the hosts Jack and Jackie, the comfortable authentic rooms and copieus breakfast made for a wonderful stay. We also had the change to taste their delicious dinners, especially Jackie's Curry, a sure thing on the next visit! We were pleasantly surprised that all necessary things to make a small child comfortable were at hand: cot, highchair, stroller and even toys and games.
For the grown-ups there is a very large selection of books and dvd's. Never a dull moment, the region has so much to offer, besides the beautiful abbey in the village itself. The historic city of Carcassonne is a must of course! Jack knows this region very well and is happy to give all the information.
I warmly recommend this B&B and the pittoresque village of St.Htilaire, We visited both in winter and in late summer and had a delightful stay!
In a few months I hope to see it all again.
For now dear Jack & Jackie, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2015!

I have found this B&B through trip advisor and was agreeably surprised and charmed by the house and their owners. Just a few kilometers from carcassonne, we had the opportunity to visit the medieval town. We really had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay at the Maison de l'Orchidée. Thank you jack and jackie

We discovered this beautiful b&b quiet by chance. The hosts are very kind and hospitable, the food was great, the setting was lovely, music was fun, the rooms where worthy of a five star hotel. Especially if you are travelling with your children, we recommend this place. We have been rather disappointed with the french so far. They are rarely foreseen in the needs of children but in this inn, you should be fine.
on top of that, the location is quiet. Nature and culture in abundance. Comfortable and memorable holidays.

This is a lovely B&B in a beautiful area of France. The hosts Jack and Jacky were very welcoming and keen to share their local knowledge. The room was clean and nicely decorated, the beds comfortable and there were tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary bottles of chilled water. The room was also equipped with a ceiling fan which was brilliant with temperatures in the 30s. There is a lovely choice of continental breakfast in the morning. The village of saint-Hilaire is only 20 mins from Carcassonne and the Cite, which is well worth a visit, but you also have the lovely old abbey right on the door step. There is a great restaurant and bar in the village offering great value meals of all types.

This small, but superbly located chambres d'hôte/B&B is located in the pretty French village of St-Hilaire next to the Abbey where the original 'Champagne' was discovered by the monks. Our English host and hostess looked after us very well and provided us with all the sustenance we needed. The bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and all mod cons including flat-screen TVs and satellite programmes and have a pleasant outlook. Our host's excellent tips on what to see in the neighbourhood were most welcome. Well worth a good value-for-money stay. Carcassonne and the Haut-Languedoc and Pyrenees are only a short drive away and so this makes a good cost-effective touring base for your holidays.

We have just returned from our stay in this wonderful bed and breakfast run by Jackie and Jack. I can only say good things about it since the owners made our stay really great. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, the food great and the location ideal. But what made all the difference from other places we've stayed is Jackie and Jack's kindness, company and conversation. We stayed for seven nights and each and every one was perfect, especially our last since it was my birthday and Jack and Jackie prepared a lovely meal for us and took great care to make us enjoy the evening: candle light, atmospheric music and even cake and blanquette with birthday song included! Jackie was always ready to meet all our requests and Jack offered wonderful advice on places to visit; he even prepared routes for us and printed all the information we could need! So thank you for making our stay so wonderful. We will certainly stay again when we visit the area and treasure the kindness and friendliness Jackie and Jack shared with us!!!!

We came upon this house on arrival in St. Hilaire having walked from Carcassonne On The Stones and Vines way marked way. (24km). The B&B is run by a very friendly and helpful English couple and the rooms are very comfortable and well laid out. The breakfast was excellent. If the landlady tells you there is no bus believe her. We got up at 7.10 to get the 8.10 bus which never came. We hitched to Limoux which a nice experience.
