Belle maison de campagne restaurée, avec de magnifique vue en Bourgogne

The Farm house was comfortable and well appointed and decorated. It was16 degrees when we arrived and the Owner suggested we use the open fire which was very nice. Eventually we asked them to turn on the heating as the cold persisted. We had a very comfortable stay in an interesting and beautiful part of France. The peace and quiet, apart from the occasional happy dogs, was lovely. Fully recommend the House and the area.

The house is situated in an agricultural area. The photograph gives the impression that it is a stand alone location, but the house makes part of a series of 3 clustered houses. It is a beautiful, silent area and the only thong you hear are cows or sheep. The house was clean and well equipped and it was a perfect place to stay with two couples ( early seventies ). Unfortunately the weather extremely bad and very wet !! One of the mornings my wife went done to empty the dishwasher, but on the floor was 1 cm. water. The heavy rain found its way into the house through the from door. The carper was soaked and we had job to make it dry. The open fire was lovely, but two days later just before dinner we received a second "gift " from heaven and the fight with water started again. We had help from Jenny ( Bill was om a trip ) and we survived. We think that a drainage pipe before the door is essential. Despite the weather, we had a good time there. Jelle & Margot and Rudolf & Esther.

Jenny and Bill really know what they are doing! They have thought of everything to make visitors' stays pleasant and welcome. The place is beautifully set up, with the best equiped kitchen! I mean really! They even have petanque boules to play out front. They provide a comprehensive set of house instructions, and there are lots of brochures and information about the Burgundy region in the house. The back garden is lovely, with a nice covered patio and table for dining al fresco. High recommended!

We will fondly cherish the time we spent at Bill and Jenny’s in Tivauche. Our goal was to relax and bond as a family, and our time at Chez Higgs helped us do just that. The farmhouse is rustic, homely yet modern and well-appointed for a family. It offers access to incredible natural beauty. We loved the beautiful vistas, sunrises and sunsets that could be enjoyed from the backyard or any of the multiple local trails. It’s conveniently located 15-20 mins from notable towns and landmarks in Burgundy like Semur-en-Auxois, Epoisses, Avallon, Flavigny and many others. Bill and Jenny’s thoughtful hospitality was the icing on the cake. So in a nutshell - we highly recommend a visit to Chez Higgs!

Bill and Jenny’s place was a perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the beautiful countryside. The charming house had everything we could have asked for: comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, plenty of storage space and the kitchen was very well outfitted. The little hamlet was always quiet and the surrounding fields were perfect for after dinner walks. A couple of nearby towns had all the supplies anyone would need. Bill is a lovely host and shared great information for day trips around the area. This was one of our favorite vacation rentals ever!
