About this farm stay rental

An 1850s, south facing, stone built farmhouse now converted into a very comfortable modern home from home. At the front is a large oak-framed porch with log store, Stone steps to front door.

With the exception of the front door the house is double-glazed throughout and insulated.

There are three large double bedrooms;
Bedroom 1) First floor, 1 x king size bed and en suite with bath and power point and electric radiator. Wardrobe, chests of drawers, electric radiator, electric fan, bedside lights, settee.

Bedroom 2) First floor,1 x double bed and 1 x single bed, chest of drawers, bedside lights, clock radio, wardrobe, chest of drawers, electric fan, electric radiator. South facing roof windows with views

Bedroom 3) situated on the ground floor. 1 x single bed, 1 x double bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside lights, electric radiator, electric fan, clock radio. South facing window with views.

All 3 bedrooms have good quality beds and bedlinen.

Also on the ground floor is the spacious family bathroom with walk-in shower and basin unit, electric towel rail and underfloor heating, power point. Downstairs WC is separate.

Straight from the front door is very large living room, over 20 feet square, with feature log burner, in a massive inglenook, and exposed oak beams. Kept now as 3 distinct areas this was formerly the family room. We now have the kitchen, lounge and dining table here.

The lounge area, with its leather suite centered around the fireplace, also has a small, well stocked bookcase for guests to use. The mini hi-fi with mp3 jack is to be found here too. We have fibre internet and there is a television for your use.

As caterers we have a well equipped kitchen with 5 burner gas hob, extractor hood, two electric fan ovens, microwave oven, dish washer, toaster, blender, espresso machine, filter coffee machine and tall fridge. All the equipment is complemented by plenty of good quality crockery, cutlery, serving dishes, glasses and mugs. A terrific array of pots, pans and utensils is available. We have made a point of having enough crockery and cutlery so there is no need to use the dishwasher twice a day.

Each area has separate lighting so can be adjusted to suit.

A few steps from the house, in a small outbuilding, is the Laundry Room with freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, and sink.

Outside there is a large terrace overlooking the valley, complete with hardwood table, chairs with cushions and a parasol. Also available are sun loungers and a barbecue. New for this year will be a lower terrace with table and chairs, ideal for a coffee break next to the small stream running through the garden. There is also ample off-road parking. The house adjoining is also ours, where we will be living this summer. The second terrace with an above ground swimming pool, 4.9m x 2.6m is in front of 'our' house, but we will endeavor not to disturb your holiday.

We have endeavored to equip the house with good quality throughout. Initially used as a holiday home when our family was young we now feel it the right time to share this wonderful place.

Although historically there is an unmade public road right outside the front door in practice it is seldom used, except by neighbours.
The proper public road is now the other side of our terrace, having been rerouted when the road was made-up many years ago. Even that cannot be called busy, offering a tranquillity not available to many in the UK today.

We feel obliged, in the interests of fairness and safety to say the property is NOT suitable for young children. Babies that are not yet crawling would be fine and children who can be left to play largely unsupervised would probably be OK. Our main concern here is that there is a 2 meter drop from the terrace to the road beyond. There is a post-and-rail fence but it is far from toddler-proof. We have on-going plans for property improvements and the terrace is amongst them.

There is direct access into the forest opposite the end of our drive, down the hill or by an almost as quick short walk up behind the house.

Lovely and well equipped gite, quiet and beautiful location, great view into the valley from the terrace. Beautiful hikes and walks in the area. If you like peace and nature, this is a great spot. Gill and Chris are excellent hosts, make sure to have a great dinner at their restaurant in Glux-en-Glenne.

I Spent a week with my wife and friends in Glux, walking around during the day and having rest during evenings and nights at Chris and Gil's gite. The gite was well equiped and clean, suitable for up to 7 people in 3 rooms. The gite is very well located for calm and rest as well as for wild walks. I would definitly recommend it for those who love to be quiet Nice Belgian and Dutch neighbours around Philippe

This was a lovely property to stay in. We stayed for 10 days and we were never at a loss for things to do. Situated in the Parc du Morvan, there are some wonderful walks to take through the mountains and forests. The local town, Autun, used to be a Roman settlement and there is a variety of tourist attractions around this. The Bibracte museum and archeological site about 15 mins from the house is worth a look. There is also a great mountain lake available for swimming in, surrounded by forest on all sides, about 20mins from the house, which we found ourselves going to a lot! We stayed in August and the weather was perfect - 30 degrees most days and we could sit out every evening and have a BBQ, with the provided table and chairs and BBQ. The house itself is very homely with all the kitchen appliances and cooking utensils you need. Ample cutlery, glasses etc and serving bowls. There were no issues with anything broken etc, and everything was finished to a high standard. If anything, the pictures don't do it justice! I'd really recommend this property if you are looking for peace & quiet or enjoy the wildlife. I would definitely consider going back.
