Le Bailli de Montsaugeon

Le Bailli is a beautifully restored manor house in the ancient village of Montsaugeon. It’s location is rural and peaceful yet very convenient for the A31 motorway and routes north to Calais or south to the Alps. Sadly we didn’t have time to explore but there are beautiful walks in the area and the owners have the key to the local church which is well worth a visit. Our hosts were friendly and helpful and made us feel extremely welcome. Our room was beautifully restored and furnished and had lovely views over the garden. The en suite bathroom was modern and spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water, towels and robes. Meals were served in a wonderful panelled dining room with a log burning stove, perfect for a chilly November evening. Breakfast was delicious and included eggs, charcuterie, cheeses, cereals, fruit, fresh breads, croissants, home made preserves, fresh orange juice, teas and coffee. Dinner, which can be booked in advance, was a four course feast of regional dishes and our hosts were happy to accommodate our dietary requests. This was a fabulous place for an overnight stay and would make a great base to explore the area. We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely return on our next trip, highly recommended.

Our hosts were exceptional in meeting our needs. They were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the area and the beautiful manor house they had restored. The food was gourmet and presented beautifully. We would not hesitate to stay there again

Everything

We arrived on motorbike and immediately welcomed by our host. The house is in a beautiful, quiet location and has many of the original fittings. The hosts have done a remarkable job restoring the house with perfect balance of modern luxuries alongside the original style. The room was huge with big windows and a variety of seating and furnishings. Separate adjoining private bathroom and toilet. The double bed was one of these electrically adjustable beds which was a great comfort after spending days riding the motorbike. The evening dinner was made by the hosts and it was absolutely fantastic (I strongly recommend you have the dinner) it also gave us a chance to meet the other guests and share stories. Beautiful house, wonderful hosts, great food. Highly recommended.

N/A

Hosts were very attentive, house was clean and finished to a very high standard. Evening meal and breakfast were superb. Would have liked an extra day for exploring the village more but still perfect location for an overnight stop whilst travelling North to South!
