Baconnes mountain rentals

Lovely accomodation, tranquil location in a magnificent chateau.

Loved our short stay in the "gite", so nice having a good size garden for our kids to run around in. We found it very relaxing sitting in the garden with our tea and coffee whilst they played on the swings. The cottage was lovely and very comfy and in a great location, we enjoyed a lovely sunset walk through the fields by the cottage, yet only 10minutes from Reims. Wish we could have stayed longer! One thing to note if in Reims on a sunday lots of things are shut including many champagne houses! I left it too late to book a guided tour anything that was open was fully booked but managed to do a self guided tour at Pommery which was excellent, very interesting history and first class champagne.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Gite is better than website photos. Well set up with everything, and anything you want - just ask. We were given a Weber BBQ to use in the rear garden. Bed and sofa bed very comfortable, lovely linens, very quiet at night (except for the occasional duck in the moat). Shutters and double glazing make it warm or cool, whichever needed. Brigitte was on holiday when we arrived and her friend Marie Clothilde was exceptionally helpful. Brigitte also very friendly and accommodating. The small lake nearby is clean, easy to access, and warm in midsummer - a welcome relief at the end of a long day out. Small shop at the end of the drive has quite a good selection, and Chalons is 10 mins away. It's not a hotel, so bring your own shampoo/conditioner. Kitchen quite tiny and no dish drainer, but otherwise pretty well equipped. Small washing machine very handy. Wifi good. Absolutely loved this place - thoroughly recommended.
