The secluded old buildings house two owner families, a restaurant, several guest rooms and 15 tons of ever-present live fish. Fishing folk gather on Sundays to catch trout in the spring water that feeds the ponds; groups come for speciality lunches. Meals are served alongside your hosts and fellow guests around one big table, and may include trout terrine, home-reared salmon, a neighbour's potatoes, wild asparagus in buttery sauce, cinnamon custard. For breakfast share brioche, baguettes, croissants, yogurt, fruit salad, cereals, apple juice and their own jams and honey. Created in an old mill 40 years ago, the bedrooms under the eaves are mostly small-windowed, simply furnished and prettily decorated in rustic or 'grandmother' style. Other rooms are in the newly built half-timbered cottage across the drive. At one end of the shop – packed with cottage-industry goodies (charcuterie, honey, jams, wine and champagne) – is a wide floor of thick glass under which immense fish can be seen swimming to and fro between the water tanks. A pony wanders freely in the grounds. Wonderful food and service – and good English spoken.

- You could visit Troyes 23km from us, which is a medieval town very well restaured and travel in the past and become a notable, an artisan, a trader or a church man from the 14th century . Walk in the pedestrian streets and discover all the wooden pan house
- Discover the little town of Chaource, 30km from us, where a beautiful church is waiting for surprising you with its crypt and statue of burial of christ made by the Master of Chaource, famous sculptor from the 16th century, in the middle of nature.

"This was a lovely place to spend our first night on holiday. Such a surprise tucked away at the end of a lane. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the wonderful warm welcome and great meal prepared for us. "

"Our last night in France this year couldn't have been bettered. Although the weather had broken and we arrived in the rain, the Domaine du Moulin d'Eguebaude couldn't have looked more beautiful. We stayed in the converted outhouse which have been decorated in a style that would make Monet and Matisse smile - the colours were magic. I would have gladly spent a full holiday just sitting in the room and reading. Our host, Alexandre, has been in the business for many years and is a most interesting and charming conversationalist and our meal, cooked by his talented daughter-in-law was excellent."

"These charming, quixotic hosts rescued us at short notice to provide a welcoming overnight stay and homemade supper and breakfast. Their chambres d'hôte accommodation, set in their trout farm which is located in a tranquil country location but handy for motorway access, is family run with individual style and passion. Highly recommended!"

"A wonderful place to stay as a stop-over or for longer. We stayed for two nights , enjoying the company of other guests at our meal on first night, then, since we were the only guests on the second night, Alexandre and Chantelle joined us for a delightful meal. Food is excellent and in keeping with their general approach - simple cooking using local ingredients, so their own trout for an evening meal, and for sample, home-made jams at breakfast using very local produce. The rooms are fairly simple,but spacious and well equipped. All in all, a memorable stay."

"We stopped for two nights and it was a great start to our holiday. The owners were very welcoming and the accommodation was clean and comfortable and the food was excellent. Loved the decking area where you could sit and chill with a glass of wine. "

"A lovely bed & breakfast in Champagne which doubles as a trout farm. Comfortable and ideally located if you are driving from Calais to the south of France, Switzerland or Italy. Sandrine cooked us a delicious dinner too. Highly recommended!"

"Wonderful experience from arrival to departure. Rooms were excellent and a separate lounge area with free tea, coffee, soft drinks , cakes and biscuits during stay. Champagne, wine and beer available in lounge fridge for reasonable charge. Outdoor seating as well. Dinner was extremely good with home grown smoked salmon and trout and lots of wine and wonderful cheese and dessert made all the more enjoyable by the company of the hosts. Beautiful peaceful setting and all your needs catered for. Highly recommend."

"We had a thoroughly enjoyable overnight stay at this delightful B&B. After a 9 hour drive we arrived at this beautiful, tranquil domaine and were greeted by the very friendly owners. We were shown to a communal kitchen area for guests, where we were invited to help ourselves to local cider, soft drinks and cakes. Our room was large and very cosy. We'd booked dinner at the B&B which was a feast. An aperitif, plenty of good wine and a four-course meal prepared and served by the owner. As we had to leave very early next morning, a breakfast was kindly left for us. Great place & excellent value."

"A really nice place to stay. Very convenient to the Autoroute system. Evening meals are excellent in terms of value and quality. Lovely area of France to just meander around the countryside and visit the pretty little towns. Highly recommended.

"Beautiful location and very friendly hosts. Sandrine was very accommodating in suggesting alternative to trout for the children - we all ate really well! Very relaxing setting after drive from Calais on way down to the Alps, highly recommended."

"Lovely stop over to Calais. Sandrine took the trouble to make sure my husband had gluten free food at the meal and breakfast. The meal was excellent.. The guest kitchen was great too. Will stay again, a great find"

"Tucked away at the end of a country road this stay felt very relaxing - no smal thing mid-way on the drive back to Calais. The room was comfortable and well appointed. We had dinner, which was excellent and excellent value too! Highly recommended!"

"This is always a friendly place to stay. The accommodation is good and the evening meal, usually with all the guests assembled at one table, is a jolly and friendly occasion with excellent food served with an ample supply of wines. Sandrine is an excellent and thoughtful hostess and chef (with very good English if necessary). We often meet others, who like us, opt for an overnight here because it is an easy run to or from Calais and because the warm welcome is assured."

"This is a truly special place to stay. Our second visit and we will definitely book for next year. Wonderful location, generous and charming hosts, splendid food. Also very useful facilities: small kitchen with kettle, fridge etc. "

"We stayed two nights at Domaine du Moulin d’Eguebaude in which Sandrine Mesley made us very welcome. The facilities in our Chalet met our needs, were good and clean and included a bath with a Jacuzzi. We had our evening meals and breakfast in a pleasant adjacent dining hall. All our meals were excellent in terms of their presentation, menu and taste, with Sandrine explaining each course at the end of each meal she always joined us for a chat; Sandrine did advise on local attractive places to see, in addition nearby Troyes.
Being a trout and salmon farm we particularly enjoyed the fish courses we had.
We also think that Domaine du Moulin d’Eguebaude being a former Mill the Chalets and other accommodation are set in grounds that has space that would enable children to run around and enjoy themselves.

"What a delightfull place to stay. We arrived later than expected but a supurb evening meal was was not a problem to our hosts. The accomodation in the annex was delightful, very quiet and with a small but well fitted out kitchen, we were soon very well refreshed. The breakfast the following morning was up to the same standard and the helpful hosts gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly be back when we drive down to Italy in the future. Certainly very good value for money in all respects."

"Easily found, relaxed environment with excellent hosts. The chalet room was spacious and well appointed with a TV and a jacuzzi bath ! Dinner was excellent, though expect trout for on the menu !
Overall good value and an ideal location for an overnight stop to/from Calais."

"We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been able to visit the Domaine du Moulin d'Eguebaude. The owners are wonderfully friendly and the whole set-up is inclusive. There was something rather wonderful about sitting drinking a complimentary cider in a peaceful and verdant garden, with the sound of the mill stream in the background, and being joined by Monsieur who was interesting and informed about trout farming, but also about politics, and international issues. He speaks excellent English having been educated for three years at the Lycee in South Ken.
Madame greeted us wiping her hands and apologising, since she was in the midst of jam-making.
There are ponies, geese, ducks, a pig, a dog among other family animals, to entertain the smaller visitors.
We ate in - and the meal was delicious particularly, as my teenage son commented, if you like trout! Breakfast was offered buffet style with plenty to keep everyone happy.
A very memorable place to visit."

"We will definately be returning for a longer stay here. All of the facilities and the airy rooms with outside seating surpassed our every expectation.
We thoroughly recommend the evening meal with wine for 24 euros. An exceptional meal: Quiche with local cheese, Trout, Cheese course and Cherry Clafoutis. The breakfast was the best one we had experience in France.
We will plan our next trip to France around this location."
