About this property

Tranquil and spacious French farmhouse

Plenty of space, inside and outside this fully equipped home.
Sit on the terrace with glass of wine and a book, and If you are quiet you are very likely to see deer coming in and out of the shrub. The sunken pond hosts frogs and newts and is a great place to sit and observe...
Get out the badminton net, table tennis table, croquet, Kub blocks and petanque balls and have your own pentathlon competition!
Winter break? Curl up in front of the open fire, read books, do one of the many jigsaws... and yes, the local wines are excellent!
In short, the house is ideal for people looking for a quiet, rural retreat or for family gatherings...
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you any questions...

Characterful barn conversion

A lovely rural location to get away from it all. Located in an untouristy part of Burgundy. The house is simply furnished but you have everything you need. Some low beams, so if you are tall, watch out. To the rear of the property is an open lawn which is great for games including a purpose built boule area. There is a veranda where you can sit out and eat.... especially sunny in the morning. No TV or internet which it good if you want to cut yourself off. The area is quite flat, so really well suited to cycling. You can cycle for miles through countryside and small villages. Romenay is a small town with a supermarket which is 20 minutes away on a bike or 5 minutes in the car. There are two slightly larger towns, Tournus and Louhans within 20 minutes by car..... one to the east and one to the west of the property. No TV or internet.... which is good if you want to cut yourself off ! The owner is a friendly English lady who has lived in the area for a number of years and can help you with any questions you have.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour malgré la chaleur estivale. La région est belle et il y a beaucoup de choses à visiter. Et le soir nous avons regardé les étoiles filantes dans le jardin.

Wunderschönes Haus mitten auf dem Land

Wir haben das Haus und den großen Garten sehr genossen. Sehr ruhig gelegen, schöne Ausflugsziele z.B. Louhans, Tournus, Cluny sind sehenswert und in ca. einer halben Autostunde gut zu erreichen. Schöne Spaziergänge direkt vom Haus weg sind gut möglich. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und insgesamt toll renoviert. Wir hatten zu viert sehr schöne Tage dort, kommen gerne mal wieder und können das Haus empfehlen. Andrea aus Stuttgart

Urlaub auf dem Land

Unser Aufenthalt war genauso wie das Inserat es versprochen hat: Ausgesprochen gemütlich, ruhig und angenehm, obwohl wir uns das Wetter schöner gewünscht hätten. Den Schlüssel zu finden war spannend aber nett. Das Haus löste sofort "Ahs und Ohs" aus: Sehr sauber, grosszügig und gemütlich und sehr geschmackvoll renoviert und ausgestattet. Wir hatten zu sechst mit Hund viel Platz, gemütliche grosse Betten, eine sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, die zum Kochen einlädt. Faulenzen und Entspannen, Spielen und Lesen, Spaziergänge, kleine Ausflüge...- alles war so wie wir es uns gewünscht und vorgestellt hatten, aber noch besser! Jenny stellte uns einen Cremant kalt, den wir gern mit ihr zusammen getrunken hätten. Unsere Kommunikation mit ihr fand nur online sehr freundlich und promt statt. Danke für alles!

Peaceful and Wonderful Holiday House

My family had a wonderful stay in Jennifer's beautiful house, located in a peaceful setting. The surroundings are beautiful for taking walks and enjoying the rolling hills, the stars at night are gorgeous and bright and there are plenty of animals to admire. We even saw a barn owl hunting at dusk when we sat outside on the terrace. The terrace was our favorite place to be - it ran the length of the house and was covered so we could even sit there when it rained. We loved spending relaxing time at the house but its location also allowed for some fabulous outings. There are very old castles and churches within a reasonable distance and even some fascinating caves. Jennifer was a pleasure to communicate with and the house was equipped with everything necessary and then some! We enjoyed table tennis and the outdoor games she had stored in the house. All in all, it was a wonderful holiday in a beautiful setting and we would even do it again!

An escape from the city

Having missed out on a summer holiday, my partner and I decided to take an early Autumn break. We wanted to drive from the UK, and as wine buffs we wanted to be in the Burgundy or Beaujolais area. This house is not in the middle of the vineyards, but we were attracted by the rural location and promised tranquility, and we were able to make three visits to wine zones during our stay (Macon, Pouilly Fuissé; Lugny; Beaune). The house itself is impressive in size, has wonderful features (beams, stone walls, wood-framed brickwork, and has more than enough of everything in the open kitchen. The Bresse terrace is a wonderful traditional way of whiling away hours with a book or a game, and we were lucky enough to have plenty of warm days to sit out. This house is not for people looking for bright lights, wild nights out, or glamour...but as City people, it was just perfect for us. We both had an email free week, slept soundly - it is so quiet! - and I finally read some of the books I've bought over the last couple of years. As the owner says - it is a great place for winding down, and getting-away from it all.

Special family gathering

Lovely house which is very spacious and spotlessly clean,the owner met us on arrival and she made our family of 10 feel very welcome , the area itself was just how the owner described, perfect for walks around rural france, The garden itself is something else, huge with lots of wildlife including a family of 5 deers living at the bottom, my children thought they were on safari. The petanque court is also a plus. Were booking again to see it in the summer and all looking forward to it.

Idyllic Country Retreat

We have just enjoyed another visit to this lovely property in the French countryside. Our first visit was in winter, but we did want to see what the cottage offered in summer. We weren’t disappointed as we were able to spend most of the time relaxing in the grounds of the property. The Petanque court provided us with hours of fun and the badminton and mini croquet kept us at the property longer than we intended. The house has plenty of space and after a hard day of playing games, what better way than to soak in the Jacuzzi? There is a nice walk to the Water Mill 10 minutes away and the nearest village La Chepelle-Thecle is about 20 minute walk, the bakery providing us with the classic French start to the mornings, croissants and pan au chocolat! There is also a bar in the village which we sampled more than once. A little further afield we visited both Cuisery and Tournus, both places worth a visit. These are where we stocked up on supplies as we were more than happy to spend time at the cottage. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind for the week and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the French countryside, or playing family games long into the summer nights, just like we did. We will certainly be returning.
