The Priory is unique, it has so much history and a beautiful tumbledown feel. It is a working farm and as such is quite rustic and has a lot of the older horse drawn machinery around and so many swallows and other birds are resident in the barns. There is a little kitchenette in an open barn where you can cook dinner with everything you need and the farm grows the most delicious onions. We were given a lovely breakfast of pancakes, hot chocolate for the children and 8 different type of homemade jams. We didn’t use the pool and I didn’t really fancy it, but the Seine where we went for a walk nearby looked very attractive for a paddle and had a lot of fish in it. A stunning place with so much history and peaceful nature.

A great French find with lots of character
A great stopover on our way towards Lyon. The room was fine for 1 night although the toilet was a bit small! Pool was perfect for the children to swim in before breakfast! And the owner did everything she could to help answer our questions throughout our stay. Overall, very happy to recommend, especially the breakfast!!!

Rabbits, crepes and a pool: the perfect pitstop!
We loved it here and received a warm welcome after a long drive. The kids loved the pool and the two friendly, free-ranging rabbits. The room was simple but all we needed for the night. There was a basic kitchen and outdoor seating area for making your own dinner (with bottles of local champagne for sale for €16!). The mini crepes at breakfast were delicious. We loved it so much we booked it again for our return journey.

We really loved staying in this historic building, and Sylvie was an excellent host. The room was as described (2 double beds and a single bed, with ensuite) and full of character. The swimming pool was just what we needed after driving all day, and the breakfast was simple and sell prepared (bread, endless crepes and a choice of homemade jams). The outside tables/seating area allowed for us to lay out the meal we'd brought with us, and there was enough crockery and cutlery for our family of five, at the same time that two other families were doing the same. This is not a sleek modern venue, and we loved the history, the authenticity and the calm of the place, and we left much refreshed.

Poor breakfast
We stayed on the way back from Provence to the UK and chose this due to the excellent reviews especially the breakfasts. Unfortunately the breakfast was a terrible disappointment. We booked for 8am, the tea & coffee were cold, there was cereal, bread and crêpes and a good selection of home made jams. No cold meats, fruit or croissants etc. One of the most disappointing continental breakfasts that we have ever had. The owner was delightful and very welcoming but if all you want is a comfortable bed and a reasonable breakfast to set you up for your journey, then this place is not for you.

Amazing rustic gite in a beautiful village
The house is a piece of living history..on a working farm, with a private church attached (visits encouraged). Room is large, 2 double beds with en suute bathroom. I'd describe it as "rustic". Your host is a gregarious, friendly and interesting woman who will happily explain the history to you. Breakfast is supplied with delicious home-made preserves. A wonderful experiece while travelling through France.

A privilege staying in this historic priory.
We chose to stay because of the historic building and we were not disappointed. The priory was built in 1087 and the host family are the fifth generation care taking this amazing building. Our en-suite had evidence of the drawbridge from days gone by. Being able to cool down at the end of the day in the pool was fab. It was very comfortable and Sylvie’s pancake breakfast was wonderful and the bread was the best we had the whole holiday. I would have no hesitation in recommending . So sorry we only had 24 hours.I would go,back and spend more time in the local area, there was kayaking in the nearby river which looked interesting.
