Les Prunelles
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009

This is a very well equipped house in an attractive location, ideal for either a family with lots of energy - you could reach Budapest on the canal cycle path on the four bikes provided - or older groups wanting a comfortable place to stay in a quiet area which is accessible to some very interesting towns within a reasonable distance - Beaune, Dijon, Besancon and lots of splendid vineyards. The local restaurants are good - though let's hope for a stronger pound in the near future, particularly when it comes to the wine list. It would be nice if you could walk to one but you do have to drive to all of them (or cycle!). The same applies to shops but the advertisment is quite clear that a car is essential. This is not for those seeking pulsating nightlife but it offers a quiet, restful ambience and the canal is both very pretty and the boats and their owners are an infinite source for those who enjoy constructing their own versions of the relationships and histories of those they observe.
We wanted a house with somewhere comfortable to sit, plenty of bathrooms, good labour saving equipment, a nice garden to enjoy the fine weather and a pool in which to relax and cool down. This delivered all our requirements and then some. Rosemary and John are excellent hosts who have given the property a lot of care and attention in its design and they have provided generous quantities of cutlery, china, linen and towels. They also delivered a week of perfect weather though I understand this is not something they can guarantee for all renters. Certainly somewhere that I would highly recommend, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Like Ronseal this delivers exactly what it says on the tin.
