Domaine de la Creuse

You’ll feel special bowling through the double gates and up the drive to this smartly renovated farmhouse. The central building houses five smart suites, the owners live here too, and fanning around the grounds other dwellings await a makeover. The barn with vaulted ceiling will be an impressive indoor swimming pool and games room in time.

Each beautifully furnished suite has its own living area and a private entrance opening onto the central courtyard; from here you stroll over to the dining room for a plentiful breakfast. Tuck into local award-winning pastries and bread, homemade jams, eggs, fruit, honey buzzed in from neighbouring bees. You’ll eat on the terrace when the sun shines.

Pierre and Lesly have a background in hospitality and look after you with grace and ease and can share recommendations. Stroll out for supper, visit medieval Troyes, try bubble tasting at Champagne vineyards or simply enjoy the rural tranquility.
