Grand Burgundian stone house in quiet village, 5 bedrooms, beautiful garden

The house is a spacious 17th century stone house on two floors with a fabulous garden. Over the years we have owned it we have modernised all the bathrooms and equipped the kitchen to make it really feel like home.

From the front courtyard you enter straight into a wonderful large kitchen/dining room. The old flagstones and massive beams make it a superb setting for dining in the evening and in the cooler months is nice and cosy with an Esse woodburning stove/cooker. At the far end is a well-equipped kitchen with a gas cooker and everything you would expect to have at home. The window looks out on to a south facing terrace for outdoor dining in the warmer months.

An oak spiral staircase leads up to the splendid sitting room with antique floor-boards and magnificent Burgundian fireplace with wood burner. Plenty of books and games.

The two double bedrooms, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor both have lovely views over the garden. The double downstairs has an ensuite shower room. Next door is a bedroom with two single beds which is probably more suited for children . In between is the downstairs loo. Upstairs the fourth bedroom has twin beds plus a child's bed. A single folding bed and travel cot are also available. The upstairs bathroom has a modern shower and loo.

The fifth bedroom with a double bed is in the garden and was the old chicken house! It is a lovely romantic place to escape to or could be a handy teenage bolthole. In the barn close by is the laundry/salle de bain with shower, toilet and washing machine.

The beautiful walled garden is an oasis of peace with plenty of shade under the apple trees to disappear with a book or snooze in the hammock. Swings, trampoline, table-tennis, bicycles and barbecue available. Depending on the time of year there is beautiful blossom on the fruit trees, then later plums, apples, pears, grapes, figs.


The village: Dancevoir is a quiet village in the National Park of Forests in the Aube valley, with its rolling hills mostly covered with forest. The stream run through the village and it is delightful to walk along to the playground or further on to the swimming hole in the river near the old water mill. The house is opposite the church. The village shop for basic groceries and bread and croissants is only 5 minutes walk.

Activities: The area is within the National Park for Forests. There are limitless possibilities for walking and cycling either along the quiet country roads or along forest tracks. The Langres lakes nearby provide plenty of opportunity for wild swimming and other water sports.
There is a lovely old Pleyel grand piano upstairs in the Salon which is in good condition having been restored. It is available by agreement but is otherwise kept locked.The acoustics are excellent for chamber music.

For those wanting to explore Abbeys and Chateaux there is plenty to see. There are excellent museums nearby including a knife museum at Nogent, La Grande Forge de Buffon (dates from 1768) and la Musee de Chatillonais in nearby Chatillon with a stunning bronze vase. For artists the Renoir museum at Essoyes where he spent his last years is a must. A visit to Langres, the largest fortified city in Europe, is a great outing for the magnificent views, or there are the wonderful cities of Troyes, Dijon and Beaune. The daily markets at Chaumont and Troyes are excellent for food and local produce.
The Intermarche at Chateauvillain has most things and is 15 minutes drive
Alternatively sample the wines in the local vineyards where the 'Cremant' (similar to Champagne but much cheaper) shouldn't be missed! For those who must have Champagne the route du champagne is les than an hours drive away.

There are good local restaurants in Arc en Barois, we like the Coq D'Argent which has a good atmosphere and good local cuisine.

Wish we could stay forever!
What a great week we had in Les Pommiers. We stayed with 3 couples and 5 children. We love the garden and the children loved the trampoline, the beds where comfortable, the kitchen was complete and we enjoyed the fireplace every night. The house surprised us again and again because of everything we needed was there. The area is great for walking and riding bikes. We intend to come back sometime because we had such a wonderful time.

Musing and doze away at Les Pommiers
Arriving at holiday home Les Pommiers was even more surprising than we thought… What a beautiful house, carefully restored and furnished with an eye for detail. The garden is leafy, a wonderful place to read a book in the sun or shade or watch the antics of the swallows. We recommand to stay for holiday at Les Pommiers, it’s a paradise! Dear Nicola and Nick Jackmann thank you for this perfect holiday. ❤️

Lovely Houser in Authentic Setting
Les Pommiers is a beautiful old house which has kept its charm and demeanor while at the same time featuring up to date comforts. Everything rings true, from the graveled front courtyard, to the main room with kitchen and fireplace, the upstairs salon, the bedrooms and finally the huge, walled garden in the back. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. A mere five minutes walk will take one to open fields in one direction and to the little shop and bar in the other. We had a wonderful stay in early October, with something for everyone and apples for all.

Pure relaxation with every comfort
We, 2 couples with 2 miniature schnauzers, spent a week in Les Pommiers. It was paradise for people and dogs. For nature lovers, the garden offers wonderful experiences and observations. The garden is beautifully laid out and always offers new insights. The property is enclosed by a wall, allowing the dogs to roam freely. Les Pommiers is a charming and tastefully furnished house that offers every comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped and invites you to cook. Dancevoir is a tranquil place that is ideal as a starting point for walks and excursions in the surrounding area. We felt incredibly comfortable and hope to spend time at Les Pommiers again.

Just perfect, very romantic.
Dancevoir is a beautiful village within easy reach of Calais, our journey took less than five hours with one stop, taking us along smooth roads with no hold ups. The House was everything and more than I anticipated, lovely wide oak floor boards, and beamed ceilings made from huge timbers. One evening we lit the wood burning stove with logs provided, this gave the whole house a warm romantic feel. My Wife and I went on our own which was a bit like a second honeymoon, the shops are well stocked with a delightful selection of meat shellfish and wine. Alternatively there are nice restaurants within easy reach, with a typical meal for two costing 50 Euros’. Although we went on our own the house would be ideal for a family, the garden is completely enclosed by walls where children could play on the swing and trampoline. The most tranquil holiday ever, so peaceful. Paul & Jane – Thame.

Stilvolles Haus
Das Haus ist liebevoll renoviert mit modernen Bädern, und gut funktionierender Elektro-Heizung oder wenn lieber mit Holzöfen. Der Garten ist mit Kieswegen, knorrigen Äpfelbäumen, eingefriedet mit einer Feldsteinmauer ideal zum ausspannen.

Urlaub abseits der Touristenpfade
Ein Haus mit viel Charakter und sehr ruhig gelegen, mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Ein Ort, um Ruhe zu finden, kleine Dinge zu entdecken und zu musizieren. Sehr schön gerichtete Badezimmer. Frisches Brot nach Vorbestellung im Ort. Im ersten Stock gutes Internet, in den anderen Zimmern eingeschränkt, für "digital detox" sehr gut, für Urlaub mit jungen Erwachsenen schwieriger.

A week at Les Pommiers
The whole group really enjoyed staying here for a week in August. There was plenty of parking in the front courtyard. The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. Two of us enjoyed playing the grand piano in the upstairs sitting room. It had a lovely tone. This room was a beautiful and quiet space away from the action downstairs. The large kitchen/dining room was the hub of the stay and was very well equipped for cooking and eatiing, also for playing games and general gathering. There was plenty of floor space for the youngsters to play. The house was very tastefully furnished. The garden was great for sunbathing, al fresco dining, barbeque, badminton, paddling pool and water sliding and trampoline. Our friend appreciated having the independence of the cosy annex. It was wonderful to have bicycles available. We enjoyed the early stroll to the little shop to collect our pre-ordered baguettes and croissants plus other items. My daughter ran with the dog every day and we enjoyed exploratory walks alongside the pretty stream plus the table tennis table, slide and boules area. We had a great trip to the outdoor swimming pool with slides at Chambord. We went to Ennoyes on market day. There was no market, however, we did enjoyed the Renoir exhibition.and house. Most of our supplies were bought from the Intermarche at Chateau Villain, 10 minutes or so away. Thank you, Nicola and Nick for renting your beautiful house to us.

Der Garten ist ein Traum. Ringsherum mit einer alten Seinmauer eingefasst und schönen Obstbäumen die Schatten spenden. Viele Blumen, ein kleiner Gemüse und Kräutergarten.

Great place with a lot of french character
Great place for a family holiday with enough space for everyone, tabletennis, trampoline, bbq in the lovely garden. Good beds and bathrooms. We also liked the oldfashioned wood stove on a chilly evening. One bedroom is accessed through the garden (at first we did not notice it and thought we had a bedroom less than we thought we would have, but the description turned out to be correct) The bicycles are in good condition for a tour in the valley behind the house. There is a small cafe/shop for bread in the village. A visit to Dijon was a nice day-trip. The region is very rural, so if you want to do a lot of sightseeing, you will certainly need your car.
