We had a great week staying in this lovely little gite. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The surrounding area was beautiful and tranquil and the gite is in a perfect location for visiting burgundy and morvan national park. Tracey and Laurent were great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The property was ideal for anyone who wanted to get away to enjoy natural surroundings in a beautiful area and yet be able to visit villages and towns steeped in history. As walkers and cyclists,we were able to explore the surrounding area at leisure.
We spent a lovely week at Tracey's and Laurent's! The flat is located in a very calm region with good cennections to small cities in the natural park. But the calmness around the old and restorend mill alone is worth the stay!
with modern comforts. The setting is absolutely beautiful, with the sounds of birds and a gurgling river, with a restored stone mill and outbuilding. A great place to unwind. I wish I could have stayed longer!
Up the hill is the town, which offers some low key scenic walks with rolling wheat fields. A market is about a 10 minute drive away, delicious cheeses in Epoisses a 15 min drive, as is the old town of Semur en Auxois. The Canal du Bourgogne is also about 15 minutes drive, with its long bike paths. The apartment was exactly as pictured, and even nicer. Everything you need is there.
Unfortunately we had a very bad experience staying here.There is no privacy from the main house,or anywhere on the property.The wife was nice enough but the husband,Laurent,gave a very uncomfortable vibe right from the start.Made my fiance and I feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable,so much so that we left after one night of a 3 night booking.I would not recommend staying here to anyone.

All for a disagreement over a washing machine ! Shame on you !!
The gite was very nice. We had plenty of room to move around. The grounds were very pleasant to walk. The weather was gorgeous almost every day. We took so many pictures. The hosts were wonderful. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. Just a note that there are steps to the gite. Because it is in a valley, there was no phone coverage. Also, they were in the process of upgrading the wifi and that was limiting but I believe that that's been resolved. There were some very nice places to eat at Semur-en-Aixois. Also, there are some very interesting sites to visit that are within an hour's travel that we thoroughly enjoyed. Also, wonderful time in Dijon and Beaune.
Everything about our 12 night stay at Tracey and Laurent's was wonderful. The location is ideal - the most beautiful of settings, on the river in the Morvan National Park with acres to amble through and enjoy nature. There's also the charming town of Semur en Auxois only 12 minutes away. We enjoyed a drink at the bar in the main pedestrian area and used the Intermarche for grocery shopping.
The gite itself is everything you see in the photos - charming, roomy and light. It has been done to an excellent standard with sound and weather proof windows that ensure a cosy and private stay. Laurent and Tracey have full regard to privacy but are only a call away of you need them. On the one or two occasions we had a question they responded immediately with help.
Thank you Tracey and Laurent for the beautiful memories you've enabled us to create. We will return.
Hübsch eingerichtetes Ferienhaus ganz im Grünen. Wer Ruhe und Natur sucht, der ist hier am richtigen Ort. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Dijon, Beaune, Avallon und Auxerre sind innert einer Autostunde erreichbar.
De ligging is echt uniek; je wordt omringd door prachtige natuur. De rivier zorgt voor een interessante fauna en flora: ijsvogels, rivierkreeften, vissen,.... De eigenaars zijn zeer discreet en heel aangename en behulpzame mensen. Echt een aanrader.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette campagne auxoise. La région est très riche en patrimoine historique. Nous n'avons pas pu tout explorer.
Magnifique cadre, gite chaleureux, parfait pour un sejour en amoureux. Tracey et Laurent sont extremement sympathiques et très discrets.Merci infiniment pour ce beau moment
Lautrent et Tracey ont fait des ruins du moulin un petit coins de paradis. L' amour des vieilles pierres melanges avec le charme du details de la decoration anglaise de Tracey enfait de cet un droit enlieu ouil fait bon vivre.
Magnifique.
They're so friendly and nice. It was a great pleasure to stay at their wonderful place. They let us feel very welcome.

Wirklich klasse! Aber: Kaminofen steht nicht zur Benutzung.
Unterkunft und Gegend überzeugen vollumfänglich - lediglich die Tatsache, dass der Ofen nicht benutzt werden darf, sobald die Heizung läuft, hat uns etwas enttäuscht. Denn darauf hatten wir uns in unserem Herbsturlaub (kühl, regnerisch, gutes Essen, lecker Wein und schönes Feuer) eigentlich gefreut.
Situation centrale proche de Semur-en-Auxois. Bon point de départ pour visiter de nombreux sites touristiques et de belles randonnées. Le gîte lui-même est situé dans une plaine inondable du Serain, entretenue comme un parc paysager.
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub,tolle Unterkunft mit einem traumhaften Gelände zum Erholen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit.
Die Gegend hat traumhafte Seen und Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Gerne wieder
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gepflegt und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Es gibt wunderschöne Plätze zum Verweilen auf dem parkartigen Gelände. Tracey und Laurent sind sehr freundliche Gastgeber. In der Region kann man herrlich wandern und viel besichtigen.
Eine tolle Unterkunft in toller Lage direkt am Wasser. Super ausgestattet, angenehme Atmosphäre. Schöne Ausflugsziele in der Umgebung und sehr nette Gastgeber. Sehr gerne kommen wir wieder.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll. Sie enthält alles, was man für einen angenehmen Urlaub braucht. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft schön, gepflegt und sehr ruhig.
eine sehr schöne Wohnung, gemütlich und praktisch eingerichtet. Das Grundstück ist traumhaft und herrlich ruhig. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Wir haben es genossen.
Accueil, gite en environnement parfaits. Le 2ème gite sur place s'étant libéré, nous l'avons occupé la seconde semaine. Tout aussi parfait que le premier avec, en plus une terrasse bénéficiant d'une vue superbe. Merci à Tracey et Laurent pour ce bon moment.
