About this property

Gites Rue Du Chateau - Two Pretty French Cottages

Two French cottages available for holiday rental. Ideal for larger family and friend's bookings, when you would like to have separate accommodation but be on the same site. Surprisingly peaceful, but within walking distance of cafes, bakeries, supermarkets, a beer/bar warehouse and market. You can choose to stay on site or venture out and take part in one of the many local activities on offer, including activity lakes and the Rejallant Canoeing Centre

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, have fun and make those precious memories. The two and a half acres of walled garden and woodland includes a beautiful clear stream running through an ancient lavoir, with plenty of space for relaxation and garden games. We have a lovely aboveground pool, 5m diameter, 1.2m deep, perfect to cool down in on a hot summers day. You will also have access to a boules area, BBQ, hammocks, an outside kitchen with indoor dining space and canopied dining terrace with fire pit. Every day you could wake up to the sound of birdsong, a running stream and the local church bells in the distance.

Described, in one of our reviews as, 'a beautiful place, with a fine balance between modern comfort and ancient charm'.

Our two cottage package can accommodate up to 8/9 and your group will have exclusive use of the site and facilities. The property is securely gated and there is space for parking four cars on site.

Bumblebee Cottage sleeps 3, one double and one single bedroom, bathroom with shower and additional downstairs WC. Direct access to terrace overlooking gardens. Electric heating.

Garden View Cottage sleeps up to 5. A large twin/double room and large double room with king size bed, adjoining dressing room with a day bed. . This room has a balcony over looking the gardens. Downstairs bathroom with shower, upstairs WC, large kitchen and large living space. Direct access to outside terrace overlooking gardens. Electric heating and two log burners. This cottage also has a door leading to a communal laundry area and additional dining space if needed for a group booking. Seating 8 comfortably. An additional table, to increase table space, can be provided if needed.

(Gites Rue Du Chateau is a complex of four cottages. If you would like to book three or all four cottages, please choose from our alternative listings on Airbnb or contact us for more information)

Anna and Ian live on site to ensure a friendly welcome and will be available should you need anything. You will occasionally see us checking the pool, maintaining the grounds, entering and leaving the property.

About the host

Hosted by Anna-Lisa Pedlow

Host profile image
an 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. 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, pool, mini boules area, BBQ, 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.
