The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

Welcome to Holiday home la Mare! A delightful rural farmhouse from 1924 in the beautiful Champagne-Ardenne region for those who love purity, panoramic views and getting back to nature. In this authentic brocante-style house, everyone feels at home immediately! It has been restored while preserving its old soul and equipped with all modern conveniences.

You have this unique stand-alone farmhouse all to yourself and you therefore have every pricacy. Holiday home La Mare is located on a large property with beautiful wide views over the fields. The house has a large bright sunny living room with many windows, a nice open kitchen with a kitchenette and a wood-burning stove. There are eight bedrooms and a spacious bathroom and another shower room under the canopy. In summer, there are barn swallows to admire here. Holiday home la Mare is an ideal place for cycling and hiking or just to swing a book in the hammock or stare into the crackling fire by the campfire. In short, an authentic accommodation where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.

The house faces south and its many windows make it a bright sunny home. The spacious living room of 4 x 12 m has an open kitchen,. There is a bookshelf full of books, a CD player and some board games. The kitchen with kitchenette has a 4-burner cooker, an oven, two large fridges, a freezer and a dishwasher. There is also olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pepper, salt, spices, sugar, detergent, toilet paper, washing-up blocks in stock, so you don't need to bring all this from the Netherlands.

The baker comes by every day. You can do your shopping in Grandpre at 15 km or in two larger towns Vouziers and St Menehould. .

The house in La Mare aux Boeufs is located in the countryside, still has a peasant atmosphere and is especially suitable for relaxing in and around the house. It is located in a hamlet with 5 other houses. You have wide views and complete privacy! In the garden, besides fruit trees, there is also a small forest. There is a swimming pool in the grounds from the end of June. There is a fire pit for campfires that provide a cosy atmosphere on summer evenings. There is also a large trampoline for the children. Next to the house is a patio with a dining table and a hammock, and next to it you will find the original stable. Upstairs is a large room with a long old monastery table and the ping-pong table. In the stables you will find the barbecues and bicycles. You can enjoy the sun all day long if you want, but you can also sit in the shade on hot summer days on the open patio overlooking the fields.

Guestbook review: " Last weekend we enjoyed this great holiday home immensely! There are almost no words to describe this fantastic house and its beautiful surroundings. Just a try: If you are looking for a house that embraces you and welcomes you, for a house with a soul that is decorated with love, for a house that has the most beautiful view you can think of, for a house with space where you can really unwind, for a house in a beautiful area where you can hike or cycle endlessly, for a house that invites you to long evenings around the campfire, then look no further, because you have found the house! La Mare is the ultimate holiday home for as a couple, with friends or with your family! .

    Wij hebben de eerste week van september met een groep van 9 vrienden in dit gezellige huisje vertoefd. Het is een enorm charmant en afgelegen huis, van alle gemakken voorzien voor een grote groep te ontvangen. De tuin is prachtig met een heel mooi uitzicht om van de zomer te kunnen genieten. Mooie wandelplaatsen, leuke zwemplekjes, veel geschiedenis, leuk om te fietsen en wij waren ook blij om een champagnetasting te gaan doen op een uurtje rijden. Kortom, een heerlijke ervaring in een huis met een voelbare geschiedenis.
    Bedankt voor de gastvrijheid Saskia! Wij kunnen het alleen maar aanraden en komen met plezier terug

    De deur ging open en we voelden ons meteen thuis. Wat een fijn en charmant huis! We hebben heerlijke dagen gehad en zijn zelfs wat langer gebleven dan geboekt. Onze kinderen hebben enorm genoten van de grote speelzolder met de pingpongtafel, de trampoline en elke dag gezwommen in het zwembad. En het leukste vonden ze aan een touw van een boom de heuvel afzwieren. Er is zoveel ruimte voor ze. Alle slaapkamers zijn trouwens gewoon op dezelfde verdieping dus ieder had een eigen kamer. We hebben veel gefietst en ik heb zelfs een boek uit gelezen. Overal zijn gezellige zitjes en het uitzicht is grandioos. En s’avonds met de kids marshmallows bij het kampvuur. Waar vind je dat nog. Dit huis, deze sfeer. Je hebt hier geen yogamat nodig om zen te geraken. Je hebt een super sfeervol plekje in the middle of nowhere gecreëerd. Dank daarvoor!

    Een leuk en gezellig huis van alle gemakken voorzien. Het waren natte dagen maar ondanks dat hebben wij veel plezier gehad met wandelen in de omgeving en het bezoeken van de monumenten van de eerste wereld oorlog. Het huis biedt ruimte en rust. We zijn er geweest met het oud en nieuw en ondervonden totale rust voor onze trouwe vriend Brandy. Heerlijk om een hond te hebben die nu een keer niet naar vuurwerk moest luisteren.
    Houtkachel deed het goed maar niet helemaal voldoende om alles goed te verwarmen als het zou gaan vriezen. Er is dan wel de mogelijkheid om andere warmtebronnen te gebruiken.
    Het huis is zeker aan te raden.
