The Moulin de Lhomont is a restored, rustic watermill situated in the heart of the Bresse region in Southern Burgundy peacefully set between the mountains, lakes and waterfalls of the stunning Jura region on the one side and one of the powerhouses of French winemaking, Burgundy’s Côte D’Or, on the other. Tastefully decorated to a high standard the Mill can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 8 in spacious bedrooms with a modern kitchen, underfloor heating, exposed stone work, wood burning fire, outdoor terrace with table for 10, pizza oven and barbecue, balcony overlooking a gently flowing river and many original features from its prior working day as a flour mill.The Mill itself and its location provides a peaceful base from which to explore the Burgundy & Jura Mountain regions and cities such as Lyon and Dijon all offering a multitude of outdoor activities, restaurants, vineyards, chateaux, markets and sites of religious and historical interest.The nearby village of Montpont-en-Bresse (2mins by car) supplies basic provisions such as bakery, butcher, pharmacy, bar and bank whilst slightly further a field is Louhans (10mins) with its 157 boutiques housed in 15th century buildings and famous agricultural market, or the hypermarkets and bustling city atmosphere of Chalon-Sur-Saône and Macôn (both 40mins).

GUEST BOOK COMMENTS

"Our visit here far exceeded our expectations. Your home had everything we needed. Every morning we took a long walk to the boulangerie either in Montpont or Chapelle Thecle. We loved our visits to the book village, Cuisery; the markets in Louhans and Tournus; the waterfalls, Cascades du Herisson; and much more. Most of all you made us feel at home-your hospitality, advice, and careful attention to details was invaluable." Bonnie, Rob & Rebecca, Maryland USA ( March 2010)

"Thanks for a wonderful week in your charming Moulin. It really is an idyllic setting and Burgundy has been the highlight of our time in France." The Mack family  B.C. Canada (May 2010)

"Had a fantastic holiday, with great food and wine. Not our first trip to Burgundy but definitely the most relaxing. Wildlife is great. Walking around the area is good. Restaurants - especially liked ‘Aux Terrasses’ in Tournus and ‘Le Bistro’ in Chalon sur Saone. Loved the mill, especially seeing the sunset from the balcony." Sue & Richard, Manchester, UK  (July 2010)

"A beautiful, peaceful location to spend two weeks exploring Burgundy and the mountains. The Moulin is a lovely home – your degree of attentiveness and care for detail is much appreciated and welcomed. Happy holidays to all those who follow us, you will love it!" Mark, Sylvie, Alice, Emile,  Solihull UK & Marie-Denise,  Paris (August 2010)

"We have enjoyed our stay here tremendously! We loved every single second. The moments in the garden with sunshine, champagne and laughter will forever be embedded in our hearts. For making 4 stressed, overworked girls from South Africa feel so amazingly blessed – we thank you!" Adine, Shelley, Susi & Rina, Johannesburg (Sept 2010)

"This is a lovely spot and a beautiful part of France. We felt we were staying in a friend’s home rather than a rental property. Thanks for all the tips, suggestions and directions-they made our stay that much more enjoyable." The Murrays, Barbados and Bristol (Sept 2010)

"Thank you so much for letting us stay, it was so lovely, I am in love with the place! It really is beautiful. I went and sat in the field with a drink for a good hour and a half, just looking back at the mill and it was just so calm and quiet." Claire (Reading UK).

"Moulin de Lhomont is even better than the photographs! Very comfortable and well equipped for a holiday. Love the fact that it is delightfully rural yet within easy reach of lots of interesting places to visit. Look forward to longer stay to sample more local restaurants tho' supper on the balcony watching the sunset will take some beating as a venue! Beaune is beautiful. You have created a great holiday home - a short visit this time but I will be back soon!" Fran (East Grinstead UK).

"First visit to Burgundy - what a wonderful place it is - had such a good time. The Moulin de Lhomont is beautiful, so well equipped, gorgeous decor, luxurious bedlinen/towels. Highlights - Herisson Falls in Jura Mountains, loved Tournus, Chalon sur Saone, market at Louhans. After 2 weeks of 'chilling' now ready to face 'everyday life'. Thanks Trish for making us so welcome." Sally & Peter (Battle UK).

"Our first time visiting Burgundy and loved it! Loved exploring farms and hamlets, watching various things being harvested. Created our own local walks, explored the Jura and Maconnais wine area but liked being local the best. A perfect location." Dick/Hilary (Boston USA) Martin/Rosemary (Norfolk UK)

"Fantastic 2 weeks. Idyllic setting - wonderful soft furnishings & rustic fittings. BBQ & pizza oven worked a treat. Enjoyed watching wild life from the balcony with a glass (or two) of Burgundy!!" George/Andy, Dan/Amy (Stratford on Avon UK)

"We know Burgundy but our first time to SE area - What a delight it has been. Enjoyed this fine house. Explored pretty villages and found excellent food. Pride of place must go to the Creuze in Tournus for a fantastic Sunday lunch. Sunday food market in Chalon was excellent. I hope to return to this most peaceful house and continue my exploration of this unique and beautiful area." Peter/Lisa (Herts UK)

“I wanted to let you know that we've had a great time here and that you've made it very easy to stay here - felt at home immediately - and everything so spacious and comfortable. We usually had our main meal at lunch – which was a good excuse for a jaunt out but we quickly found there was no better place to have a light supper than on the terrace watching the sunset! We will recommend the house to any of our American friends who yearn for real French country life but with all the luxuries.” Chris/Linda (California USA)

"We have arrived back safe & sound from our second stop in Bordeaux. We much preferred Burgundy, due in no small part to the accommodation. You have a delightful property and we could well come back again soon with some friends who are into fine wine as well." Glen & Bogunia (Bedford UK)
