Guest Room in Renovated Beamed Barn

Situated in a quiet village, this bright double room with original beams has its own private shower room and facility to make tea & coffee. (Breakfast is not included). The rest of the house is private and not available for use by guests. Great stop over place if travelling North or South. Bordering the Champagne trail, the town of Chaource is 5kms away, but we are also close to Bourgogne. Troyes is 26kms away with a great city centre. Biker friendly and room for tents in the garden! The space The barn house is in a courtyard and was one of the outbuildings of an old demolished Châteaux. The room available is situated on the first floor of the house and the bedroom does not face the road, so it is a quiet space. There are old beams in the room, as throughout the upper floor. Towels and linen are provided as are tea and coffee making facilities in the room. In Chaource you will find shops, bars and restaurants. Although the village of Praslin doesn't have any retail outlets it is nevertheless a peaceful, farming village in the heart of the countryside with lovely walks and views. The garden is large with fruit trees and an old well. Plenty of wildlife surrounds the barn. The busy main city of Troyes is about 26 km away, where you can find many shops, restaurants and bars and a train station, with frequent trains to Paris (only 1 hr 40 mins away). There is lots to see around the area of this Champagne region, with wine tasting, villages of character and lots of fresh air! Guest access As the room is within my house, you can access your room by entering through the back door and using the communal stairs. When you arrive, the parking is to the rear of the property so drive past the front of the house and enter through the gate where you can park. The garden area is at your disposal. There is an independent apartment attached to the house which could be used if you where are more than two guests, with its own kitchen. This place is also advertised on the Airbnb website and bookable via the site (Cozy self catering apartment). Other than your room and garden, the rest of the house remains private. During your stay I can help you during your stay, letting you know local information about shops, opening times, local holidays, markets etc. If there is something particular you need and find difficulty getting it, I may be able to help. But, of course you need your space, so I will always let you decide if you need my input. Other things to note You will need transport, preferably a car or motorbike. The nearest town (Chaource) and its shops is about 5 km away. There are no shops in Praslin. If you are planning on flying or are coming by train, it is advisable to rent a car at the nearest train station at Troyes. Bus service is practically non-existent and taxis can be pricey. It is also important to note that mobile phone reception is poor at the house, but it is always possible to make a call using the house wi-fi over Viber or Messenger or Facebook etc. Please note: You are using these premises at you own risk and should therefore have your own travel/accident insurance. The owner cannot take responsibility for lost or stolen items you may choose to leave on the premises. Parking in the garden is done so at your own risk. To improve on security, the garden gates should be shut at night. Thanks.
