About this property

Cosy cottage overlooking garden and woodland, within 10 mins walk of town centre

Bumblebee Cottage is situated within two and half acres of part walled garden, part of what was once the old Chateau Estate. A little haven of tranquillity, where you will be able to relax and feel at one with nature. The cottage has direct access to its own covered terrace overlooking the spacious gardens and woodland and includes a beautiful clear stream running through an ancient lavoir, above ground pool, boules area, BBQ, outside kitchen with dining terrace and cosy fire pit area. Plenty of space for relaxation and garden games. Every day you can wake up to the sound of birdsong, a running stream and the local church bells in the distance. Surprisingly peaceful, but within walking distance of bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and a local market. You can choose to stay on site or venture out and take part in one of the many local activities on offer, including the Rejallant canoeing centre, cycle paths, adventure parks, local lake activities or visit a Chateau.

Bumblebee cottage has a private entrance. With open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, fridge freezer, electric hob and oven. Downstairs WC. Upstairs has a double bedroom and a single bedroom. Both rooms have views across the grounds. You will also find the main shower room upstairs, with sink and toilet. All properties have access to an onsite washing machine.

Bumblebee Cottage has direct access to an outside terrace area, with a dining table and chairs, overlooking the shared gardens, with woodland view.

The cottage is one of four cottages at Gites Rue Du Chateau, which can be rented individually, or as a whole site exclusive booking.

Hosts Anna & Ian live on site and you will occasionally see them discreetly cleaning the pool and maintaining the grounds and would be available should you need anything during your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Anna-Lisa Pedlow

Host profile image
Ian and I made the decision to change our lifestyle and relocate from Norfolk, England to France, in April 2022 and we are very much in the early days of establishing our home and holiday cottage rental business in the historic town of Ruffec. We have just completed our second very successful year with a full house of 5 star reviews. I love live music and festivals and anything magical. I used to work in education, specifically in development of Early Years education. My partner, Ian, is a musician and we both worked in the public sector; together we have worked hard to use our past skills to build a beautiful and welcoming place for families and friends to spend time together.

Why they chose this property

Situated in the grounds of what was once part of the old Chateau estate, our cottages offer a little haven of tranquillity; a place where you will be able to relax and feel at one with nature and at the same time, have fun and make those precious memories.

We have four, re-styled, cosy French cottages available for holiday rental all year round. Especially ideal for larger family and friend's bookings, when you would like to have separate accommodation but be on the same site.

The two and half acres of walled gardens and woodland offer plenty of space for some privacy and includes a beautiful stream running through the old lavoir (former wash house), woodland path, a lovely shallow mini pool, mini boules area, BBQs, outside kitchen and dining area, cosy fire pit corner and access to covered terraces.

Every day we now wake up to the sound of birdsong, running water and the toll of the local church bells in the distance. Surprisingly peaceful, but within walking distance of a restaurant, bistro, bakeries, shops, beer warehouse and a local market. You can choose to stay on site or venture out and take part in one of the many local activities on offer, including, the Rejallant canoeing centre, cycle paths, adventure parks, local lake activities or visit a Chateau.

Anna and Ian live on site and will be available should you need anything during your stay.
