Home description

Les Tilleuls has been the owners home since October 2000 when they decided to change direction and move to France from Scotland to experience a different culture and way of life. The house is over 150 years old and was originally a farm. At one point it became the centre of village life when for many years it was run as the local Inn for the surrounding community. In 1989 the house was purchased by an English couple and transformed into an attractive and popular B&B which they ran successfully for 11 years. Since the present owners arrival in 2000 they have continued to upgrade the property in an endeavour to ensure your comfort in every way possible.

There are five ensuite bedrooms, all with comfortable beds and good quality towels and bed linen.

We have a very large south facing breakfast room and lots of books and information to help you plan your stay. Of course we are on hand to offer any help or advice you may need.

The house is situated in the centre of a very small quiet village (150 inhabitants) and overlooks the village green. The property is surrounded by farmland and forest and yet only a 10 minute drive from the autoroute exit at Nuits St. Georges. This is an excellent spot from which to explore the surrounding area, but also an ideal midway stopover for those heading south from England, Holland or Belgium. Behind the house there is a large enclosed garden where you can relax after a long drive and enjoy a glass or two of burgundy or sample a Kir which is the local aperatif. There are swings and a slide to amuse our younger guests. Restaurants to suit all tastes are but a short drive away in Nuits St Georges, Gevrey Chambertin, Vosne Romanee, Flagey Echezeau to name but a few. If you prefer you are welcome to picnic in the garden
