About this property

Idyllic 16th Century Stone Cottage.

River Cottage is excellently positioned on the edge of the tranquil village of Boudreville bordering the Chatillonnais forests in North Burgundy. Ideally placed to discover and explore the region or simply relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

On entering the main entrance gates, you are welcomed with the beautiful countryside of the Aube valley with its forests and rolling hills. The cottage is set in a private 2 acre park of meadows, orchards and wooded areas and the river Aube which runs alongside the grounds of the property providing a haven for wildlife (trout, deer etc). It has a private south facing garden with secluded patio area and is fully enclosed making it safe for small children. There is an above ground swimming pool of 5m diameter - sole use for the gite - private - ideal for relaxing and cooling down - this is available from 1st May to the end of September.

The cottage itself is a beautiful and historic building, which has been fully renovated by the current owners who have carefully restored many of the original features whilst providing a high level of comfort and space. One of the highlights being the large “Burgundy” style kitchen / dining room and separate sitting room showing original oak beams, large stone fireplace, open stone walls, burgundy floor tiles, and stone cut washing bowl, which historically allowed the release of water under the main window! There are 3 large double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wunderschönes Haus in ruhiger Lage

Wir haben mit Kindern (14, 12, 9) und Hund eine sehr schöne Woche hier verbracht. Insbesondere die vielen Informationen zu Ausflügen in der Umgebung fanden wir sehr hilfreich. Zwei "Kinderzimmer" und ein Elternzimmer unterm Dach waren perfekt für uns, ein Bad bedeutet ein bischen Planung, war aber kein Problem. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, Grill im wunderschönen Garten auch vorhanden. Großer Rasen, viel Platz zum Spielen aber durch die Nähe zum Fluss ist bei kleinen Kindern und Hunden Achtsamkeit geboten. Sonst absolute Empfehlung!

Jolie maison sur un immense terrain accolé à la maison des propriétaires mais ce n est aucunement gênant. Une super literie et chambre bien décorée. La cuisine est sombre mais c est lié à la demeure.
