The gîte was one of the best we've stayed in (and we've been coming to France for at least 15 years). Well converted, characterful, old French country furniture, good showers!, very peaceful village, beautiful countryside. It has it all!
We really enjoyed our stay in Auxant. The cottage is bigger than it loos in the pictures with plenty of space for all of us with a really nice outdoor area.
Beaune and Dijon are within easy reach and both worth a visit.
We will definitely book again if we're in the area.

Thank you for your positive review of the roperty in Auxant. We would be pleased to host you again.
We enjoyed our time so very much. We BBQ’ed on the tiny French grill outside in the beautiful flowering stone wall enclosed garden. A perfectly tranquil setting within a few minutes drive through absolutely stunning scenery to the local chateaux restaurants which were wonderful.
The home in Auxant is perfectly charming. It has all the amenities one needs and is a peaceful location from which one can explore Burgundy. The owners were very friendly and provided information about the nearby attractions. The pictures accurately portray the beauty of this home. I highly recommend this property.
Enjoyed our stay. The house was roomy and had everything we needed. We used the courtyard everyday as the weather was warm. The location was quiet but easy to get to various locations. Definitely be back if allowed. Contact with owner was good. Thanks Tim.
Possibly the finest rental I have ever booked. Absolutely everything was catered for, meaning I could have arrived with just a tiny suitcase. The house is charming, characterful and comfortable and the booking process, as well as ongoing support during the stay, were first-rate. This lovely farm cottage quickly started to feel like home. No hesitation in recommending it.

Authentic house, but kitchen needs refurbishment
Positives: large house-good beds-owner very responsive-nice welcome pack (tea, coffee, wine, sweets, etcetera)-extra fridge + freezer space in garage. Negatives: relatively small kitchen with old dishwasher & fridge, no extractor hood which caused the alarm to go off. Bathrooms also need some refurbishment.

Awesome Stay In The Character Village House!
We had a great week staying at the Character Village House!
The property is clean, spacious, comfortable and relaxing. Our favorite part was the outside garden which is beautiful and great for relaxing with a glass of wine.
While the location is outside of Beaune, it is only about a 20 minute drive into the town, which we found enjoyable with beautiful landscape. Plus, we enjoyed staying more in the countryside. Is very accessible to many wineries and charming towns all around Burgundy.
The house had everything we needed for a quiet, comfortable, relaxing stay. The bed was super comfortable, kitchen well equipped for cooking, and many different living areas for hanging out - our favorite being the upstairs living room which is spacious and great for watching TV, playing games or reading.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming back!

Beautiful, Relaxing French Getaway
If you're looking for a relaxing stay out of the way of tourists and the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you.
Very private and charming drive to get to the village house.
Upon arrival, the house was clean and welcoming. There was a bottle of wine, sweets, and fresh water for us to have. We also very much appreciated how clean everything was and the comfort of the beds.
We loved reading on the terrace in the morning with a warm cup of coffee.
Absolutely beautiful, relaxing place to put your feet up, enjoy a bottle of wine and just enjoy the scenery.
The home itself has everything you need.
Multiple clean places to sleep, nice showers, fully equipped kitchen, separate game room, even a nice game box with checkers, chess -- and a very nice DVD and music collection to relax!
Peaceful and secluded, the place is fantastic to enjoy some quiet time.
The restaurants nearby are excellent. And if you need anything at all, you will be attended to immediately.
There is great biking and walking along the beautiful canals. Canal boat rides available too.
I would go back to this location without hesitation. Thank you Tim and Jan for a fantastic experience. We definitely plan to come back!
Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus, das genau den Beschreibungen und den Fotos entspricht.Es ist sehr gut ausgestattet und für 6 Personen super geeignet . Absolut zu empfehlen!
Un grand merci pour la location. Nous étions 4 amies et avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à séjourner dans votre jolie maison, pleine de charme et accueillante. La région est magnifique et nous avons apprécié le calme.
Das Haus ist wunderschön und liegt sehr ruhig. Der Garten ist liebevoll gestaltet und lädt zum Aufenthalt ein. Mein Mann und ich hatten am Wochenende Besuch von unserer Tochter mit unseren Enkeln, das war spontan unkompliziert mit den Besitzern zu regeln und auch die weitere Kommunikation war super und mit großem Engagement geführt!
petite maison de caractère au calme située dans le centre bourg,
Beaucoup de choses a visiter (chateaux, vignobles) dans un rayon de 20 Km

Ein sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus mit einem sehr gelungenen Empfang. Wir haben schon viele Urlaube in Ferienhäusern verbracht, und dies war eines der besten.
Bei Fragen waren die Agentur (Robert) und der Hausbesitzer (Tim) immer sofort mit größter Freundlichkeit zur Stelle.

Séjour reposant.
Maison spacieuse située au calme mais avec de nombreux lieux à visiter et d’activités à réaliser à 1/2 h aux alentours.
De vakantie woning is perfect. Netjes en ruim. Alles aanwezig. De locatie is mooi, maar is ver weg van alles. Zelfs geen bakker in de directe buurt. Winkels ook redelijk ver weg. Rust, ruimte, mooi, maar na 1 week echt uigekeken.
La maison est très agréable, décorée avec goût et calme. On y trouve tout ce qu'il faut pour y passer un bon séjour. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les petites attentions de nos hôtes à notre arrivée.
Peut-être un petit plan serait nécessaire, nous n'avons pu entrer les coordonnées GPS et avons un peu tourné dans le village avant de trouver la maison.
Sehr nette Vermieter und Nachbarn, ruhig und sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus mit klassischen Burgund Flair, gut gelegen für Tagesausflüge nach Beaune, Dijon und zu den unzähligen Schlössern und Burgen
Das Haus ist ausreichend groß für 6 Personen, sauber und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Ein begrünter Innenhof eignet sich prima zum Essen und entspannten Sitzen.
Wir haben von Auxant aus Tagestouren unternommen. In der Nähe kann man lecker essen: Chateau Sainte Sabine.
