Nr SEMUR en AUXOIS Erleben Sie die Freuden dieses fabelhaften Bauernhofes

It was lovely to have met you and your family this summer. It is a shame that the Village Bakery has closed until it is taken over, but luckily we have a great essentials store run by a cooperative of volunteers all set up to open in a few days. Not forgetting that I am a fully qualified Baker and can provide a daily bread and pasties delivery everyday!! My Bakery is 10 mins away in the Medieval town of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, so future guests can also enjoy the « Plus Beau Village de France»

Hi Laura, Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m glad you all had such a nice time. Hope to see you all again one day Kind regards Katherine

Vielen Dank, Sybille. Ich bin froh, dass Sie die Immobilie und die Gegend mögen. Ja,!!!! Der Kühlschrank ist nicht so toll, aber Sie werden sich freuen zu erfahren, dass ich einen neuen Haushaltskühlschrank anstelle eines industriellen Kühlschrankes bekomme! Das nächste Mal, wenn Sie kommen, wird es schön und friedlich sein. Nochmals vielen Dank, dass Sie so gute Gäste sind

Thank you so much for your lovely review.It was wonderful to have you all stay with me in Burgundy. Hearing such laughter and seeing such friendship throughout the week was a joy to see. With sincere and warmest regards to you all.

I have no one of this name registered as staying in my farmhouse however I do know who did stay & under the circumstances that her group departed & from the malicious & defamatory comments I received immediately after their departure (I have kept a record & also informed VRBO as to their nature) I am not surprised she has used a different name. Our rental is open for incoming clients from 4:30pm which is clearly marked on the booking form, this client decided to arrive at 11:30 & seemed a little put out that I was not ready for their arrival. The group also increased from the original number marked on the reservation form without our approval, at least 4 other members of the family where camping close-by & enjoyed our facilities for the entire week. We provide information to our guests that will facilitate their arrival & stay, welcome wine, coffee, tea milk etc and of course toilet paper. However this is a property that is self catering & I doubt if anyone expects us to fill the fridge, buy their wine & cook for them without prior agreement. For the seasoned traveller, visiting France is relatively simple, the water is safe to drink & rural areas still have septic tanks. Each country has its own way of recycling. All this information is marked in our House Book. If a client decides to read it, it is pretty straight forward if they don't it can be confusing & errors occur that leave trash uncollected, septic tanks blocked, pool pumps flooded and out of action for the following clients & excessive cleaning required. We count on average 12 hours of cleaning which is a pretty good amount of time to achieve the standard which I would like to find the property if I was an incoming client. Our pool is not a public pool, there is no wave machine or toboggan so creating a wave machine with an adult body can and did flood the pump, I politely advised the clients of this who denied all knowledge. For insurance we had to take photos It is clearly marked on our Booking Form and Rental Contract & a 3rd time in our House Book that there are things that should be respected during out clients stay. Quite simply out of common decency for us the owners & the future clients. I am not allowed to comment about the malicious content of the emails received, but just to confirm the name used to post this review is not one of my registered guests. I am eternally grateful that most of my clients are fabulous. Owners & VRBO beware if you ever receive an enquiry from this group!

Dear Bill and guests, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was so nice to finally meet you all after our correspondance in the months leading up to your trip. I especially liked all your links through to articles written about France from the NY Times. I know we shall meet again one day. Lindest regards and warmest wishes to you all Katherine

It's always nice to know that our guests are happy during their stay. I'm so pleased to hear the feedback as of course without it we can't improve. I love being able to recommend places to visit, restaurants to try as guide books, whilst good, don't know about the little details, the amusing wine guide the querky bakers, the eccentric brocante lady! It all adds to the fun and makes my guests stay even more special.
