We have just spent a week at the Grange de Felix. Ten of us (6 adults, 4 children) shared the gîte, which is actually made up of two self-contained parts (sometimes they are B&B rooms rather than a holiday cottage). 
One side of the converted barn houses the kitchen, a 'master suite', prettily decorated in Toile de Jouy with its own bathroom, and a separate 'duplex' apartment with one bedroom on each floor (a double, and a room with smaller beds for children). There is a small seating area with a few books, where you can sit and relax. The other side of the barn is made up of a downstairs double room + shower room + toilet, an upstairs triple (3 single beds for children) and a small 'snug' with a TV and a sofa.
The gîte is very quiet. It's in a very small village, and has views across fields at the back. The owners live on site but keep themselves to themselves. They have a few chickens, rabbits and a couple of horses. The children enjoyed feeding the hens in the morning! We had access to part of the garden, with a couple of swings for the children, and above all, a great swimming pool: totally safe (in France, swimming pools must be fenced or have a cover - heavy to drag into place, but it means you don't have to worry about small children), and a very pleasant temperature. Mrs Cagne makes her own jams and fruit wines, which you can buy.
The area around Fontainebrux has plenty of attractions. You are not far from the beautiful hills of the Jura, with impressive limestone rock formations. We found plenty of half-day expeditions to keep everyone amused: visits to limestone caves, short walks, small museums, artisan cheese makers who demonstrate their art. This is the home of Comté cheese, but also of Vache qui Rit. If you've ever wanted to know everything about the Laughing Cow, go and visit the museum. It's very child friendly.
To sum up our experience, the cons of our stay were: not very comfortable mattress on the bed. Quite a few flies in summer. Kitchen could do with slightly better equipment, e.g. decent knives. And the gîte wasn't cheap…
Pros: beautiful, spacious gîte (thoughtfully decorated and generally well-equipped), great garden, fantastic pool, lots to do nearby, lovely covered terrace for outdoor meals, very well-organised and helpful owner (who will prepare a delicious and good-value meal on request), etc. etc!
