"In the middle of the countryside but with shops only a short drive away, it was the perfect setting for a family holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay which was very relaxing and our al-fresco meals were an absolute delight. It is well equiped and we were able to prepare meals without difficulty and no shortage of utensils, pots and pans etc. The downside is that the property is in need on both a deep clean and some basic maintenance. There was a lot of dirt and dust and also mould in one of the showers. We enjoyed the swimming pool however we had to clean it before we could use it and it does NOT comply with French regulations in that there is no protective fence around it. The trampoline was not in a safe condition either. We had four small children with us so we had to keep a close eye on them at all times. Although the house instructions state that the CCTV is switched off when it is rented out, we were not convinced as the cameras still showed a red light so they clearly had power. For me, it was almost nostalgic as I spent a number of family holidays in a (family owned) house in a similar condition when I was younger but, if you are looking for a house that is in really good condition, move on."

"One night waiting to get on a boat. Room was comfortable, be was ok, shower was great. Dinner was really good on the restaurant and the buffet breakfast was plentiful "

"We were all buzzing around with excitement at this property when we arrived. The kids thought it was incredible! It's such an old building, full of history and not spoiled in its renovation, it was still so characterful. The kids loved that we restricted the flow of the water at night to quieten it down, and then released it every morning - we got lucky as the water wheel does not always turn but we got some movement out of it! The house is rustic, and not full of mod-cons, but it had pretty much everything we needed. The outside eating area was lovely for bbqs, and the garden lovely and big for games. The house has a lovely mezzanine library level at the top that the kids enjoyed relaxing in. We really enjoyed visiting Guedelon, a castle that is being built from scratch in medieval style, using only crafts and skills from that period in history, it was truly a fabulous day out. Lovely villages to visit in the area are Vezelay, a very pretty and ancient village up on a hilltop, and we also loved Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines with its castle overlooking the village with the river and waterways routed all through the streets. So pretty. It's a drive to a shop or Patisserie from the house and unfortunately the patisserie was shut for the week we were there, but the supermarket in Varzy had everything we needed. We also visited Clemecy a couple of times to explore the shops and old buildings, and watch the boats going through the canal locks. Thank you for a wonderful week. "

"Quiet & secluded with lots of charm & excellent gardens. "

"Plenty of room in the gite and the bedrooms nicely done but the kitchen area was sparse and a bit unappealing (not the most comfy environment). "

"The hosts were very welcoming, took great care of us, breakfast was delicious. I strongly recommend this hotel. I'll definitely stay there next time I'm in the area."
