Stylish elevated village house with stunning countryside views.

La Guimbarde was once the bakery in the hilltop village of Frolois. Today the experienced owners of 3 other holiday properties in the area are proud to introduce this newly renovated cottage to the holiday property market. The building once served the residents of the village their daily baguettes and croissants. Today, the property offers up to date, comfortable accommodation in a pretty village setting.

The house sleeps 4 adults in 2 bedrooms. A spacious king size double bedroom (bed dimension 160cm x 200cm) and a twin bedroom (2 beds of 90cm x 200cm) with new mattresses, ensure you sleep well during your stay. The beds have been made up with fresh white linens for your arrival. The rooms have an individual feel and relish in the uninterrupted views across the roof tops of Frolois to the countryside beyond. Cool, contemporary colour schemes have been chosen in the bedrooms to enable relaxation and restfulness. Generously sized picture windows allow peaceful contemplation or reading opportunities from an unspoiled position. There is enough storage for your personal belongings and both bedrooms are equipped with ventilation fans for the summer months and hairdryers for your use.

Each bedroom leads to an en-suite shower room, with over-sized showers, complimentary soap and lotions for your use. Small and large towels are provided.

The light, bright downstairs of the property offers the holiday maker satisfying living spaces in which to relax and prepare meals. The fully equipped Kitchen/dining space allows for lengthy dining with friends and family at the comfort of the dining table and chairs. Descend a few steps into the old fashioned, walk-in pantry cupboard housing the washing machine and storage. A pretty Juliette balcony at one end of the kitchen opens onto the garden terrace for an airy feel allowing a breeze through the house. A small corridor with a practical downstairs w.c. leads to a warm, sunny lounge with inviting soft seating for all the occupants, UK free to air television channels and a cosy log burning stove for cooler evenings ensure you have everything you need to relax after a busy day visiting the region. Glass doors open onto a veranda with a few steps down to the enclosed, south facing garden, which also enjoys the wonderful views of the village and valley beyond.

The garden area invites you outside to enjoy the long summer days from the comfort of a sun lounger for more opportunities to enjoy the surroundings. Keen chefs can barbecue from the gas grill, just a few steps from the kitchen, keeping food preparation and garden dining easy and stress free for your holiday.

We can also recommend wonderful local producers of cheese, meat and provide private catering to enhance you Burgundy Hideaways experience in Frolois. Please inquire for details

For our younger guests we can provide a cot in either of the bedrooms, a high chair, stair gate, changing mat, toys, books, DVDs. There is a microwave to make baby food preparation easy, plastic plates and cups along with child-sized cutlery. A baby bath can be easily positioned in either of the shower rooms.

Please inquire about your pets joining you for your visit to La Guimbarde. Usually this is not a problem, but we do ask that animals stay off the soft furnishings and light coloured bedding.

The owners offer a catering service to take away some of the 'self' from self-catering. This may be arranged in advance of your stay or once you are at the house. We can also offer bespoke children's menus along with child sized portions from the choices available. Please inquire for more details.

There is daily bread available that can be delivered to you for your daily requirement of French baguettes and pastries.

Comfortable, spacious property with great host
The house was very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped and situated in the heart of a quiet, traditional French village that was a really good base for seeing the area. The two en-suites and English television made it especially appealing to us. A really special feature of the house was that the owner delivered great freshly baked bread every morning and absolutely delicious, generous sized servings of home-cooked French meals as ordered. The three meals that we ordered were all yummy but the cassoulet was especially scrumptious. This was a great way to try French food at very reasonable prices without having to leave the house. Highly recommended.

Wundervolle Woche im Burgund
Wir haben die Zeit in dieser sehr sehr schön renovierten ehemaligen Bäckerei sehr genossen- die Ruhe und die tolle burgundische Landschaft haben uns besonders gefallen. Sharon ist eine super Gastgeberin und immer sehr bemüht- der morgendliche Baguetteservice und das hervorragende Essen nicht zu vergessen!

Kleines Paradies im Burgund
wir hatten in dem tollen Haus eine sehr schöne Zeit. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend! Die angebotenen Speisen, welche ins Haus geliefert würden waren extrem lecker. Ganz toll auch das Angebot morgens mit frischem Baguette und Croissants versorgt zu werden. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Excellent séjour
En cette période compliquée en terme de vacances, nous recherchions une location au vert et au calme en Bourgogne. Notre choix s'est porté sur la Guimbarde et nous avons été ravis. La maison dispose de tout le confort nécessaire, les plus étant notamment la salle de bains individuelle attenante à chaque chambre et la cheminée avec bois fourni pour se faire des flambées les soirs, très appréciable en ce mois de février. Grâce aux températures exceptionnellement clémentes pour la saison nous avons même pu profiter de la terrasse pour les repas de midi. Mais l'autre gros plus (très appréciable dans le contexte actuel), c'est la possibilité de commander aux propriétaires des repas avec une carte bien fournie de l'entrée au dessert. Nous avons ainsi pu apprécier la bonne cuisine de nos hôtes pour un prix très raisonnable (très bon boeuf bourguignon notamment !). De même, les propriétaires vous livrent sur demande les croissants et le pain frais de bon matin (sans vous réveiller pour autant) Seul (tout petit) défaut de cette location (mais à savoir), celle-ci s'adresse par défaut aux touristes britanniques (même si nous pouvons confirmer que les Français y sont les bienvenus également !), et en conséquence la télévision est connectée à une parabole et reçoit exclusivement des chaînes anglophones. Point peut-être à améliorer en prévoyant également une réception des chaînes hertziennes françaises. Nous concernant nous avons rapidement remédié au problème en connectant notre PC portable au téléviseur pour récupérer les chaînes françaises via le site de notre fournisseur internet. Sinon il y a de jolies promenades à faire à pieds dans les alentours (conseils précieux reçus de Sharon à ce sujet), et nous avons également visité les jolis villages de Semur-en-Auxois, Flavigny-sur-Ozerain ou encore Chateauneuf. En conclusion, un excellent séjour et un hébergement que nous recommandons les yeux fermés !
