The Cook’s Cottage is a large ground floor studio (50m2) with a separate bathroom. Built with traditional materials such as lime render on the walls, a 200 years old limestone fireplace and with its soft and earthy colors, it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy French country life.

This studio is on the ground floor of our farmhouse. Our private spaces are on the first floor and in the adjacent barn. You have a private entrance and a private and secluded garden just opposite the front door to the cottage that is for your personal use only and allows for sun bathing, dining and relaxing. Next to that you have access to the heated swimming pool and garden which are shared with our family and the guests of The Writer’s Cabin.

Please note that you are staying inside our house and can hear us occasionally on the first floor in the mornings and evenings.

The 50cm thick stone walls of our 150+ year old farmhouse keep the studio cool even during the hottest summer days. On the colder days, the wood burner or the central heating keep the cottage nice and warm. Enjoy the authentic and rustic style of the cottage.

There is a large and comfortable king size bed, dining table and cozy seating area. There is a separate bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower.

You’ll have a private garden with a hammock, a table and chairs for dining and a fire pit and chairs for cozy evenings. You also have access to the shared terrace with beautiful views of the forest and farmfields as well as to the shared heated swimming pool.

Come enjoy the good life in the countryside of Burgundy, with the wine region and historic villages and cities all at close driving distance.

The cottage can welcome two people.
The minimum stay is 4 nights and 7 nights in June, July, August and September. The cottage is self catering. We offer breakfast and dinner upon request.

175 euros per night

Please note the cottage and the shared exterior spaces are non-smoking. Unfortunately we cannot welcome pets, babies or children under 12 years old.

We’d love to welcome you here!

Our heated pool is open from June to September (or any sooner or later the weather allows for).

Upon request we offer healthy and fresh vegetarian and vegan meals and breakfast using seasonal produce, that you can enjoy in your cabin or cottage or in the shared garden and swimming pool area that you have access to.

Enjoy the exquisite wines of Burgundy (we’d be happy to share our favorites!), the delicious local food, hikes through the vineyards or in the beautiful natural park Le Morvan where you’ll find lakes, hills and forests.
All the goodness is at a 10-40 minutes drive from La Source.

We’d been dreaming of renovating an old French farmhouse for years, but never took it very seriously. We enjoyed going on trips to France to look for houses, “just for fun”. In 2018 we took another one of those trips with no intention of actually buying something but when we set foot on “La Source” we felt we had no other choice but to buy it! Thinking it would be a holiday home.

We lived in the city in The Netherlands, were busy running our businesses and as much as we enjoyed this exciting life, we were craving to have a refuge in the countryside that would allow us to be closer to nature.

We never intended to move here. But after the first holiday we spent here with our boys – then 8 and 10 years old – we just didn’t want to go back to The Netherlands. 

And so, without too much overthinking, we moved here and took on the immense project of renovating the house and turning it into the family home and “refuge d’hôtes” we had always dreamed of.

We feel this place brings new and positive energy, inspiration, and the silence and peacefulness of the countryside allow you to reconnect with your essence and to reset. We would love to welcome you here so you can experience for yourself what it was that pulled us here. We are still in full renovations so we may look a little dusty when you cross us on the property 🙂

A bientôt!
