18th Century Manor with Pool and Gate House

Main House details

Home description

This idyllic 18th Century Manor House is set in its own 24-acre park bordered by the wooded banks of the river Armancon. It is the perfect place for a holiday. The house is maintained to a high standard with a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere. It has a heated fully fenced swimming pool, grass tennis court, walled garden, avenue, barbecue, table tennis, fishing, its own boat on the river and even its own small island.

The house with its marbled hall, curving staircase and tall windows combines elegance and comfort. It sleeps 6-16+ (up to 10-12 in the main house and 4+ in the adjoining barn which also has a beautiful music room with a grand piano). The Main House is excellent for smaller as well as larger parties.

We have a wonderful cook and helpful maids/babysitters who live in the adjoining village of Cry-sur-Armancon (15mins to Montbard with its direct TGV link to Paris).

Garden furniture is provided.

Activity Holidays

For 2 weeks in Spring and in Autumn the owners run Painting Holidays and in November run a Wine Week. The tutors are excellent and there is a really good party atmosphere.
