Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
We stayed at Le Biscottage. The cottage and grounds are charming. It is best suited to a couple, we were a bit cramped with 4 adults. Our hosts Chris and Steve were very kind and helpful, going the extra mile for us, dropping us at a nearby village, collecting us from the train and more, as we didn’t have a car. I would definitely stay again if I had a car. Thanks Steve and Chris for your excellent hospitality.

Lovely room; charming hosts!
Stayed one night while travelling home to the UK. This house is conveniently located close to the A6 motorway junction in a charming village. The room was beautifully designed and furnished, clean and very comfortable. En suite bathroom delightful and equipped with everything you could possibly want. We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed stimulating conversation over breakfast with the hosts and fellow guests.

Schöne Bleibe für ein paar Tage
Liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer mit (für uns) gutem, persönlichen Frühstücksservice. Zum Abschalten und Entschleunigen genau die passende Bleibe in ruhiger Umgebung.

Eine Wohltat für die Seele und eine Reise wert!
Auf meiner diesjährigen Pilgerreise Trier - Vezelay kam ich am Abend müde und durstig an einem heißen Tag im Juni unangemeldet hier an. Ich wurde sehr gastfreundlich und nett empfangen. Die Familie war am orstansässigen Camping zu Abend essen. Nach kurzer telefonischer Wegbeschreibung dauerte es keine 10 min. mehr, dann saß ich auch schon bei dem netten Ehepaar mit am Tisch. Bei interessantem Gespräch konnte ich dort ebenso lecker essen. Während die Hausherrin früher nach Hause eilte, um mein Zimmer noch etwas her zu richten, leistete mir der Hausherr noch Gesellschaft. Etwas später konnte ich dann das wundervoll eingerichtete Haus von innen sehen und mein Zimmer beziehen. Es fehlte an nichts, alles war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und nach so einer Tagesetappe ein Genuß für die Seele. Auch das Frühstück war ein Genuß und somit eine gute Stärkung für meine letzten Etappe in diesem Jahr.
Ich danke Euch Steve und Chris für alles, und ich kann dieses Ferienhaus sehr gerne weiter empfehlen.
Herzliche Grüße, einen schönen Sommer und viele Gäste

We stayed with Steve and Criss for one night only unfortunately! We could not fault the hospitality offered by this couple. It started with a very warm arrival followed by a complimentary glass of wine sat in their lovely garden.
The accommodation is very appealing and has been renovated to an extremely high standard. This really is one to see.
We had previously asked Steve if he could book a table for us in a local restaurant that he would recommend...... This he did and wow, what an evening we enjoyed! It couldn't have been friendlier or better value for money. If you want to enjoy the real France then this is the place to be. Steve even took us to the restaurant and picked us up, somewhat fuller and drunker than when we arrived for sure.
Thank you Steve and Criss, you really made the start of our holiday one we will not forget.
Bon Chance.

un gite fort sympathique et bien plus...
Nous avions réservé ce gite pour visiter le Morvan. Steve et Chris nous ont réservé un accueil très chaleureux. Nos hôtes ont été aux petits soins pour nous, tant pour le petit déjeuner que pour l'accès à la piscine. Vraiment nous retournerons nous reposer à Arcy avec un grand plaisir. Le sourire de Chris et Steve est inoubliable ! Un grand merci !!

this charming gite fit our needs
The situation of the property was perfect for our group of 8. Enough room for everyone with kitchen facility and their own baths, etc. The outdoor common areas were wonderful for us, although may have been cramped if sharing with strangers. Proprietor Steve was exceedingly attentive, quick to help us with logistics, dining arrangements, and plans for our sightseeing activities. However, we felt slightly scrutinized. Perhaps he's had bad experiences with guests in the past that flavor his management. A little more privacy and personal space would have made the stay perfect. Proprietress Chris was delightful and helpful; even assisting us with laundry which was quite a bonus. They were graciously tolerant of our boisterous evening gatherings.

Dear Linda and All
Thank you for your review and your kind words about most of the elements of your stay with us. We thoroughly enjoyed having your lively group here and especially the exchange of ideas and banter Steve had with Peter. It is true that it can sometimes be a little difficult sharing premises with strangers, and even more so when the owners are on site in the place they have spent years trying to create a homely and comfortable ambiance.
It is also true that it can be problematic getting the balance right between being helpful and not being too intrusive. Clearly you feel that Steve failed in that direction, for which we apologise. Perhaps his chance discoveries of an unreported broken piece of crockery in the bin and of new coffee stains on the conservatory wall (reinforced by one of your party’s admission that she was accident prone) might have made him seem a little wary of what might occur next. This obviously conveyed itself as over-surveillance.
Our position is that mishaps are an occupational hazard that can usually be resolved given good will and when a measure of responsibility is taken by the “mishapper”. Unreported mishaps, however, tend to leave us feeling rather uncomfortable.
Anyway, all that done and said, we repeat how pleased we are that, overall, you enjoyed yourselves, and appreciate all the nice sentiments expressed in our visitors’ book by your group. They appear below:
“Comfortable, clean, stylish accommodation. Terrific intellectual conversation. The ‘acid test’: would return to stay in a heartbeat.”
“Very nice and felt welcomed. Great bed and shower! Thank you!”
“Thank you Steve & Chris!”
“Thank you for a perfect stay. We enjoyed your inn and you made us feel welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful experience.”
With all best wishes
Steve & Chriss
