Gorgeous cosy house surrounded by trees and a river. Unfortunately the weather prevented us using the pool very much but instead we got to do walks in the surrounding woodlands and enjoy the local cuisine. The hosts were fantastic and so helpful.

Amazing stay

I have been received by the owner of the house very warm an felt welcome. They were reachable at any moment. The house is nice and cosy, the garden huge, the village very calm and the nature around beautifull. During my stay I made many long walks starting directly at the house. I guess I'll be coming back.

Amazing cottage in the French countryside

Paul & Julie were amazing hosts. Super friendly and available for all our questions and concerns. The cottage was beautiful with a fantastic garden bordering a river. The forest was easily accessible from multiple walking paths. The house was well equipped and clean & the beds were very comfortable. There was much to discover in this region of France and we had a great time and will be back.

Cute

Loved couple. Property was too small for our family of 5. Sadly no fans or air con so the heat was unbearable and stoped us sleeping.. Lovely grounds. Kids spent 6 to 8 hours a day in the pool. Cute little accommodation. Had to drive far away to find nearest civilisation for my kids to practise their french on.

Total relaxation in a beautiful setting.

Paul and Julie greeted us like old friends. The cottage has been wonderfully and tastefully restored and decorated. It is just as it appears in the photos. We felt like we were home from the moment we stepped in the door. We spent a very lazy week taking walks back into the forest and sitting in the sun on the patio while gazing across the fields. With our busy lives, it is the most relaxed we have been in a long time. When we felt we must move, we got into the car and meandered down whatever small country roads appealed to us. When we wanted to return, we checked our map to see where we were. We never had any problems. There are plenty of places to go and things to do in the area. We will save those for a return trip; which I am sure won't be too far into the future. If you choose to stay at river cottage, no matter what type of vacation you are planning.

Haven of tranquility in rural France

An excellent and truly relaxing two weeks in River Cottage, in the pretty village of Boudreville in Northern Burgundy. The cottage is comfortable and modern whilst retaining the traditional features that really made us feel that we were somewhere unique. We loved the extensive gardens and grounds surrounding the cottage, in particular the river running alongside the property. It gave our girls their first (very memorable!) first experience of 'wild' swimming - just great. Paul and Julie were exceptionally welcoming and helpful hosts, pointing us in the direction of things to do, local walks and beauty spots and places to go that fitted our interests. The cottage is in easy reach of historic cities like Dijon and Troyes, but my favourites were the beautiful, world heritage Abbey de Fontenay and the understated, but incredibly pretty village of Flavigny sur Ozerain (where the film 'Chocolat' was filmed). The boulangerie in Montaigne was an easy cycle away, so we were well supplied with croissants, fresh baguettes and amazing pain au raisin most mornings. We would not hesitate to recommend River Cottage to families wanting a relaxing (or active!) holiday, in a beautiful area with access to many cultural and historic sites. A lovely, lovely holiday.

Rustige vakantie in een prachtige omgeving

Het huisje is een echt zomerverblijf. De kamers zijn groot en mooi ingericht. Jammer dat het toilet in de badkamer gelegen is. De keuken is basic, er was bijvoorbeeld geen microgolfoven, wat wij vervelend vonden! De woonkamer is klein, vooral als je met 6 personen bent of als het een koudere periode is. Vooral de hele grote tuin is zalig. Onze hond genoot van de volledig omheinde tuin. Vanuit het huisje loop je zo het oneindige bos in. De streek is fantastisch om te wandelen. Je kan enkele steden bezoeken: Troyes, Dijon, Auxerre.

Vakantie Boudreville

Het verblijf was geweldig. De locatie was super. Wij wären er met onze 2 honden..Deze hadden echt alle ruimte..en een geweldige riviertje om in te zwemmen. Een plek om echt tot rust te komen..ook was er een mooi groot zwembad aanwezig..het huisje was van alles voorzien. En keuken compleet ingericht. Echt de moeite om hier weer te komen.

Sehr schön ruhig

Ein sehr schönes Häuschen auf einem weitläufigen Grundstück, das vor allem unserem Hund sehr gefallen hat. Im Erdgeschoss ist es auch bei Hitze sehr angenehm kühl, dank Heizung mussten wir aber auch Mitte Oktober nicht frieren. Da die Treppen im Haus recht steil sind, würde ich das Haus nicht für ältere Menschen oder Menschen mit Schwierigkeiten beim Gehen empfehlen. Die Küche ist mit allen nötigen Geräten ausgestattet. Einziges Downgrade sind die geringe Zahl an Gläsern und Tassen und das etwas staubige Sofa, das für Allergiker*innen ein Problem sein könnte. Die Gegend und das Dorf selbst sind sehr ruhig. Außer Parks und einigen Schlössern (die nur im Sommer geöffnet sind) gibt es im Umkreis von 30 km nicht wirklich viel zu sehen, was aber überhaupt nicht stört, wenn man im Urlaub wirklich nur entspannen will. Da wir genau da wollten, haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt und den Urlaub genossen.

Semaine en famille

Dernière étape de nos vacances nous avions choisi Boudreville pour son emplacement idéal à la frontière de la Bourgogne et de la Champagne. Nous n'avons pas été déçus! Bel acceuil de Paul et Julie, hôtes sympathiques et discrets en même temps. Le gîte, un peu petit pour 6 personnes (4 adultes et 2 ados), est cependant fonctionnel et possède un jardin extraordinaire! Nous avons profité avec un immense plaisir de la terrasse, le bbq, le bord de rivière privatif passant en contre bas ( absolument exceptionnel) et évidemment de la piscine! Le gîte est un point de départ pour de nombreuses balades ( forêts au bout du jardin), visites historiques, culturelles et gastronomiques. Le parc d'attractions Nigloland fera également le bonheur de toute la famille! Je recommande ce gîte à tous les amoureux de la nature et du calme. Déconnection garantie!!!

Echt een locatie om tot rust te komen

Bij aankomst leuk ontvangen door eigenaar Paul. Rondleiding in het pitoreske huisje gehad om daarna even bij te komen van onze reis uit NL. Heerlijke locatie om tot rust te komen. Super locatie om lekker te wandelen met de honden, ruimte zat in omgeving . Afkoelen in eigen zwembad bij het huisje en bij de beek die stroomt langs het huisje is het ook heerlijk vertoeven. In het dorp zelf is weinig te beleven maar in de buurt zijn andere dorpjes met supermarkt en restaurants en bezienswaardigheden. Zelfs een belgische frieterie Sparky kwamen we tegen in de buurt dit in de middel of knowhere...Voor een vakantie om tot rust te komen een ideale bestemming. Bedankt paul en Julie.
