Beautiful Restored 17thC Stone House and Pool in Aubepierre-sur-Aube - La Tonnellerie Reviews

I fully agree with the other comments - probably the best self-catering I've stayed in over our last 6 years of staying in France - and a big hit with our 11 year old daughter. We stayed in La Tonellerie - very clean, peaceful and charming, with constant hot water and a good supply of thick towels! Some fantastic cultural sites to visit nearby - Troyes, Chaumont, Langres, Fontenay, etc... plus Lake Liez for pedal boats. The village is very friendly, restaurants in Arc en Barois are just right - relaxed with good local food. Above all Sarah and Tim are incredibly helpful and solicitous.

Probably the best gîte we have ever stayed in. Wonderfully clean and well presented on arrival, lovely location (as part of an estate, all of which was available to us), superbly helpful owners, and located in a lovely village. Not mainstream France, but all the better for that: bucolic, green and relaxing. Would stay there again in a flash.

We have just had a lovely family holiday at these two properties. The houses are very attractive, have comfortable beds and the kitchens are well equipped. The secure shared pool is in a large garden with plenty of space for a game of boules, pirates on the climbing frame or relaxing. The village is in a pretty rural valley with lovely views. Most of the large towns are about one hour's drive from the property. The grandchildren had a great time and the grandparents managed to have the odd glass of wine in their own space. The owners Sarah and Tim are lovely and very helpful if needed

We had a fabulous week staying here! The house was stunning and the pool and gardens were heavenly, the kids were so happy running about all week and Tim and Sarah were incredibly generous and accommodating! The local area was superb for cycling with and without the kids with easy tracks on empty roads and paths, and challenging off road rides too for the more adventurous! Dijon was an hours drive away, and well worth the trip, although Langres was lovely too! We loved the midday baguette & patisserie van that came to the door daily in time for lunch in the garden- who could ask for more?

We had the most wonderful stay at Le Domaine Richot this summer. The quiet village of Aubepierre was the perfect antedote to our hectic family life with beautiful walks and great cycling (for the novice and professional). Sarah, Tim and their family were wonderful hosts providing guidance on things to do and places to see. For a family with teenagers there were various activities nearby (high ropes, water park etc) or for those wanting to relax the gardens/pool were the perfect place to unwind. Our accomodation L'Entrepot had eveything we might need and we thoroughly recommend a visit!

Our family (3 adults, 2 kids + dog) stayed at L'Entrepot for the Easter holidays and had a lovely time. The house was well equipped, clean and very comfortable - a real home from home, full of rustic French charm. The large gardens were safe, well maintained and provided plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. The pool area looked lovely tho a bit too chilly in April to make full use of it. Set in a quiet village with lots of river & woodland walks on the doorstep, and quiet roads for cycling. Lots to see and do within an hours drive, would love to go back.

We stayed at L’Entrepot for a week in August. What a relaxing and tranquil place to be in and get away from it all! The house is well-equipped and very comfortable, with the grounds full of activities for children to enjoy, including a wonderful pool area. Tim and Sarah are perfect hosts, with great hints and tips for things to do and enjoy in the immediate and surrounding areas. It’s a testament to the place that we managed not to get bored even when, unusually, the weather didn’t cooperate. Highly recommend!

‘Wonderful place to holiday at as two families. Being 3 generations of the same family, it gave us the space we needed to chill and relax separately but at the same time spend time having fun together at the pool and playing games in the large garden and grounds’.

We have just returned home from a week in L'Entrepot - what a find! Beautifully furnished and decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean! Sarah & Tim, the owners, were also on site staying in their holiday home next door and they were so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The pool is stunning and, although shared with the other guests, there is plenty of space for everyone and a more than adequate supply of sunbeds and parasols (which we definitely needed with temperatures in the high 30's!). We are now considering returning next year with friends and renting both properties!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is gorgeous and full of beautiful furniture and everything you need. My children absolutely loved the climbing frame and the pool. The surrounding area was beautiful in the autumn and we had a fabulous time exploring the nearby cities and towns. Sarah was absolutely fantastic at communicating with us. Highly recommend!
