About this property

Cottage and private garden - rural bliss for two (or 4 with mezzanine)

This delightful house has it all - oak beams, flagstones, underfloor geothermal heating, log fire, French doors, south facing garden, large bedroom and bathroom with shower and bath; linens and towels provided, bed made up. It's the perfect romantic getaway for two people. From the garden you can see the sun preparing to set behind the trees beyond, and listen to loads of birdsong. There is a parking space outside the front door on the 'village green'. The downstairs is one large open-plan kitchen/living/dining area; the walls have all been beautifully plastered and lime-washed with a warm but very light shade of honey. Upstairs, exposed oak beams throughout the bedroom and mezzanine enhance the recent renovation of this charming property. Our stonemason and estate agent now tell me that they both regret not having bought the house for themselves!

An idyllic French dream house!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this wonderful idyllic place. It has everything you need and more. Plenty of space for a young family. The garden is a little piece of paradise and also the small village and surroundings are very idyllic. Ideally located to visit the highlights of the region.

A beautiful rural property for a couple in an ideal environment for exploring the many historical sites and towns of the region. The area has a rich history of food and wines with multiple daily drives to explore the wines and purchase fresh goods at the various town markets. The house and location is what we look for in a rural location - overlooking an agricultural town and valley with markets within a 30 min drive. The house has been wonderfully decorated, very clean and functional. Relaxing in the private garden at the end of the day and enjoying the neighbouring church bells at breakfast and dinner time was an unexpected bonus. Bill and Jenny were available and responsive to our limited questions. We would highly recommend this property. John and Gail

Nettes Haus im Dorf

Wir haben den Urlaub mit Hund genossen. Der Garten ist komplett umzäunt! Obwohl das Haus direkt neben der Kirche steht, haben wir uns durch die Glocken überhaupt nicht gestört gefühlt. Leider nur englisches und französisches Fernsehen. Und in der näheren Umgebung bis 25 km gibt es schon viel zu entdecken. Empfehlenswert!

Für unsere Kultur-Geschichte-Käse-Weinwoche mitten in Burgund genau das was wir gesucht haben. Wunderbar verschlafenes Dorf, was einem sofort zur Ruhe kommen lässt. Man kann eigentlich alles in kurzer Zeit erreichen und sogar vom Haus aus wandern gehen. Vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber für die Gastfreundschaft, wir kommen sicher wieder!

Superb location if you are seeking peace and beauty. Tastefully furnished and decorated - modern yet in keeping- great little suntrap of a garden -and watch the bats and owls flying around the church next door at night. Lovely market towns in reach in all directions for great food to eat in or out,. Perfect hosts nearby if needed but never intrusive.

Pleasant stay at peaceful location

The cottage in Corsaint is well equipped, clean and cosy. It still has its local feel. It's situated in a quiet place and has an enclosed garden, perfect for a dog to play in. For a couple with a dog this is the perfect place to be. Nice places to visit are Semur, Vézelay, Noyers and the Morvan region. We loved our stay there.

Burgund von seiner schönsten Seite

Wir waren eine Woche in diesem wunderbaren Cottage, das modern und mit Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet ist und seinen originalen Charme behalten hat. In Haus und Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man im Alltag benötigt, die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und immer ansprechbar. Sehr genossen haben wir auch den schönen Garten. Corsaint ist ein hübsches, ruhiges Dorf und ideal als Ausgangspunkt für verschiedene Ausflüge (30-60 Min. nach Vézelay, Fontenay, Dijon oder Beaune), in 20 Min erreichbar ist Semur mit kleinen Geschäften und Restaurants. Allen, die einen entspannten Urlaub in schöner Landschaft inklusiver kultureller Highlights suchen, können wir diesen Ort uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

A fantastic place for vacation

The house is an old house, which was renovated nicely and with a lot of feeling for beauty. It has a beautiful and very quiet garden in the back. Everything that one could need is there, including wifi, a dishwasher and a washing machine. The hosts are very warm, welcoming and helpful. They even lent us their car for a couple of days when ours needed repairs. We hope to come back here ourselves again in the future and can recommend this place most strongly!

Wir haben ein paar wunderbare Tage in Bill und Jennys bezaubernden Häuschen verbracht. Eine tolle Ausstattung und die geschmackvolle Einrichtung bescheren einem auch bei Regentagen einen erholsamen Aufenthalt. Bei schönem Wetter bietet die Gegend schöne Ausflüge in die Natur oder hübsche Dörfer und Städtchen. Diese Unterkunft zählt ohne Frage zu den schönsten, in denen wir bisher Urlaub gemacht haben.

About the host

Hosted by Bill & Jenny

Host profile image
Bill has always worked in tourism primarily operating hotel barges and organising tours in the Burgundy region of France. Jenny, a Prue Leith trained chef, left her London catering business for a two week holiday in Burgundy and never returned!
Both Bill and Jenny intended to move on from Burgundy, but with the addition of dogs and children and the realisation that they already lived in one of the most beautiful parts of Europe, why change a thing?

Why they chose this property

For years Jenny had had her eye on this house. It hadn't been lived in for 30 years but she knew it would make the perfect holiday home; it's rare to find a charming detached house with a good garden in a pretty village. The owner was a kind man with bright eyes and a generous smile; he spoke into your face whilst enthusiastically thumping your shoulder every few seconds. There were many people whom he would not sell the house to, but luckily we did not seem to be part of this ever expanding list!
Before too long we were the proud new owners, but having bought it, we had to wait a couple of years until we could afford to start renovating. And what a house it made! Every year several guests ask us if it's for sale! We have four rental properties in Burgundy and even if one day we sold up and left for another region, we would have to keep this one as our bolthole in the Côte d'Or; so I'm afraid the answer is: it's not for sale, but you're welcome to come and stay!
Staying here is all about leaving the city and stepping back in time and enjoying the peaceful rural surroundings. No busy roads, trains, aeroplanes or noisy farms - even the church bells stop at night!

What makes this property unique

The house is unusual because it's in the middle of the village of Corsaint and yet all around feels so spacious; that's largely due to being right next to the church and the green and also helped by having a good southerly facing garden with a view. Inside the property plays the same trick; it seems so much bigger than the exterior walls dictate.

We live two minutes away from the house and are available if you need us. We hope you will discover and explore Burgundy in your own way, but if you would like a little orientation and guidance about where to go and what to do, then we would be delighted to help. Just ask!
