This place is a gem. The rooms
are beautiful and the farm is set in a very quiet peaceful setting. We enjoyed an elegant apéritif and then a superb meal, all set out with considerable style in a communal setting. We will recommend, and return. Bravo!

Superb

We were the only guests here. Dominique welcomed us with just the right degree of engagement. The room was stylish and comfortable and the evening meal generous and tasty. We had a very pleasant chat with Marie eugenie and Dominique over an aperitf . .we will definitely come again if they have room

delightful

We travel a great deal and are pretty selective when it comes to accommodation - and we found La Ferme de Marie-Eugénie to be an absolutely charming, warm, and wonderful oasis in every way! Marie-Eugénie is an unbelievable home cook, offering classic French country cooking for every meal (even on our final morning at 5am). The setting is lovely for families and couples alike, with endless trails for walking or cycling. All in all, it was the perfect relaxed escape from the city!

Country Charm & Fantastic Cooking

Marie-Eugenie and her husband provide warm welcome to their classic and beautifully restored Bresse home and rooms.  Both are enthusiastic hosts, and Marie-Eugenie bubbles with enthusiasm and hospitality.   The rooms reflect their taste and demand for quality; fine beds and excellent baths.   The public area of their home is warm and conducive to conversation; dinners are superb, fresh, prepared with love and precision.  The grounds invite you to sit back with a good book and enjoy the spacious and well tended garden.    This is a very special property to which I dearly hope to return.

Beautiful property, hospitality, experience

This is a difficult review to write as at the time of our stay there were no problems so I'll start with the positives.
We stayed here for 1 night on Friday June 16th. The property is beautiful and is in a peaceful setting. We received a warm welcome from Marie-Eugénie and she kindly told us about a walk we could do with our dog before dinner. We had an aperitif in the garden before we ate and both Marie-Eugénie and her husband joined us and we spent a pleasant 15 minutes or so chatting with them. We were the only guests as it seemed the other expected guests hadn't turned up. Our evening meal, cooked by Marie-Eugénie, was delicious and the wine, if a little expensive, was also good. Breakfast the next morning was also delicious and there was a great choice. Our room was comfortable and well furnished. It was a shame there was no shower in the bathroom - just a hand held attachment on the tap - but nothing to complain about really.
We left the following day to our holiday destination and thought little more about our stay.
Fast forward one month to the evening of July 16th and we were driving home from our 4 week stay in the Dordogne.  I received a text from Marie-Eugénie, which I didn't immediately see as we were eating dinner, asking what time we were expecting to arrive! As soon as I saw the message, I replied explaining we'd stayed with her the previous month. However, as I hadn't replied earlier to her message she had then sent me a email which was abrasive  in tone saying as we hadn't turned up it was too bad I hadn't called to cancel our booking! Of course by now I realised it was exactly 1 month since our stay - I emailed her back stating that we'd only ever had a booking for 1 night on June 16th and nothing at all for July 17th. Marie-Eugénie did have the courtesy to email me back apologising for her mistake which I was pleased about. However, all she had to do BEFORE  sending me an abrasive email, was to go back through our correspondence to check the booking details (something I would have thought anyone would have done) and she would have realised what had happened. 
Such a shame as we'd had a pleasant enough stay.

Beautiful location but...

We stayed here for one night on our way to the south of France - the location for this is excellent and the Ferme itself is near a tiny village.  Beautifully renovated I initially thought this was a great find.  Our room was very comfortable and large enough to accommodate two adults and a child.  The Ferme is also dog-friendly...apparently.  We dined in the kitchen and the food was delicious so all good.  However, and it's a big however, whilst our female host was charming, well-travelled and very welcoming her husband was frankly odd.  When we arrived, despite there being huge gardens, we were asked to keep the dogs on a lead because of a visiting cat.  The husband also objected (loudly) to one of the dogs barking slightly.  He also insisted on joining us for a drink in the garden but made no effort to join in the conversation and was very surly at breakfast.  It's a real shame because the place was beautiful and I would have used it again but am not tempted to return because of the host.

Beautiful setting but something was off...

This is a difficult review to write but I feel compelled to write it. The bottom line is that we cut our stay short and I would not recommend anybody to stay there. And that is such a shame. The place is beautiful, Marie-Eugénie is very charismatic and a wonderful cook, the bedrooms are tastefully decorated, the gardens are beautiful. So what is off? It is the extreme rudeness and atmosphere sapping personality of the front of house, Dominique. We were alerted initially by the irritability, coldness, sighing as he was clearing dishes which he demonstrated initially. We thought initially it was just a bit of gruffness (I am French and I know how people can be and I know how to approach that) but this was just way beyond that. This culminated in him screaming at our child (yes it was beyond what is acceptable when telling a child which is not yours). Our child had done something wrong (but nothing out of the extraordinary for a 7 year old) and we told home off for it. But Dominique did not stop there and continued pestering about our Children and calling my son a “petit con” (!!) and then complaining to the cleaning lady that they were “infernaux”. All this we could hear from our bedroom. He also wrongly accused one of my children of breaking a remote control ... completely surreal ...At some point we had no choice but to pack up and go. We have travelled all over the world with our kids and we do not consider ourselves as laissez faire parents, but we have never experienced such rudeness and aggressivity from a host. No wonder why he is on none of the marketing material. Frankly, nobody is asking you to do this job, I appreciate that it is not for everyone. The bill of €440 was bitter this morning (2 rooms and dinner). It is such a shame as we had met 2 lovely couples from SOuth Africa and Norway. We won’t be returning and I suggest you look for somewhere else ... there are plenty of places with lovely hosts in France.
