39 Reviews of Property 6396 in Epoisses, France

The farmhouse is stunning - great for families with young kids, but would be equally good for people wanting to experience a holiday away from it all.
Within easy driving distance to Dijon and other really beautiful villages. We also went on a lot of walks around the local countryside.

This farmhouse is well described. It has a great layout (good sized rooms, fabulous chairs, and the bathroom is simply stunning), and all the amenities that you need for a self-contained holiday.

Bill and Jenny were fantastic, and we really enjoyed meeting them. Would thoroughly recommend this .

A lovingly restored and maintained home, with attractive furnishings and features. Extremely comfortable, charming and filled with anything you could need for a restful stay. Beautiful bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas, and a patio just made for sitting with a glass of wine, plate of cheese, and a book. A short drive away are fantastic villages and towns to visit, amazing food and wines, and lovely countryside. There is no shortage of things to do--castles, historic churches, vibrant cities and towns, and great markets all around. We had a fantastic week, and would return in a heartbeat!

We have recently spent a wonderful week at a beautiful farmhouse at Tivauche le Haut with great views over the rolling Burgundian countryside. The oldest part of the house dates back to 1800 and there is a huge open plan kitchen/ dining/ living room with a beautiful flagstone floor and exposed beams throughout. The furniture is lovely and the kitchen is well equipped. The farmhouse has two spacious bedrooms and the two full bathrooms are modern and very comfortable.

Our hosts, Bill and Jenny were very welcoming, and were happy to make reservations at nearby restaurants for us. We enjoyed many pleasant walks to the nearby villages of Corsaint and Moutier St Jean.

Epoisses, Semur and Chablis are within easy reach, as is Beaune and the Cote d'Or.

We would like to return and would recommend the property to one or two couples who want a lovely farmhouse in a quiet location. It is a pity that there are not more good restaurants nearby, but the produce available at the market at Semur and nearby supermarkets is very good. Le Syracuse at Chablis is especially recommended.

We were overwhelmed by the character, location and sheer quality of Bill and Jenny Higg's lovely property. As our first stop on our three week expedition it set the tone and could not be matched. We had a wonderful stay with our two children and all enjoyed the beauty of the countryside and all the region had to offer. It was the house itself though that drew us back. It was so easy to rest and relax there and we felt as if we were staying in a five star hotel that we were lucky enough to stumble across. The attention to detail, the fittings and fixtures, the tasteful and characterful conversion all ensured we felt at home in our surroundings. Although Bill and Jenny were not there in person, they ensured that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were the perfect hosts. I have no hesitation in recommending this property as being suitable to all age groups. We had two small children who loved it, from the roll top bath to the lovely day bed upstairs.

I only hope the above has gone some way to doing justice to such a lovely, comfortable property.

We found the cottage to be perfect for our needs. Great atmosphere, beautiful views, centrally located to some interesting villages and towns. The rolling farmland was great for my early morning runs and afternoon walks with my wife. It was nice being in a quiet little village. Bill was most helpful when we had a flat tire.

This was a remarkable place to stay to absorb the French country side. The house was immaculate and provided all we could want for a quiet, leisurely week in Burgundy. Bill and Jenny are friendly, helpful hosts who are there when needed, but never intrusive. The house was far better than even the wonderful pictures suggested. The open, large, airy house provided the perfect setting to travel, cook in the open kitchen, drink wine and take in the beautiful view from the back porch. Places to visit abound within very reasonable driving distances. The rondenee paths make great treks for walking. This is a place where one can do as little or as much as you wish. It is a perfect retreat and tonic from a hectic visit to Paris. We fully intend to return and have already recommended it to several friends.

This is truly a beautiful, relaxing place to stay in the picturesque countryside of Burgundy. The farmhouse has everything you could need for a great holiday and is lovingly presented. From the open fireplace to the outdoor seating area where we had afternoon drinks while soaking up the views of the surrounding countryside, it was a pleasure to arrive"home" after a day's sightseeing.
The cottage accommodated 2 couples in comfort and Bill and Jenny were close by with advice about what to do in the area. Probably the only thing we missed was that in the tiny village of Tivauche le Haut there was no bakery to get our morning pastry. However the historic town of Semur en Auxois was just a short drive away and there we could find everything we required. My friend and I had a ball trying to describe to the hairdresser what we wanted in the way of haircut and colouring with very little French and them with no English. However, it all worked out beautifully and we had lots of laughs.
I would recommend this farmhouse accommodation unreservedly especially for 2 couples travelling together, as we were, or for a family. You do need a car to get around and we hired one in Dijon.
