About this property

Bumblebee Cottage is situated within two and half acres of 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, 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.

The cottage sleeps 3, with one double and one single bedroom, bathroom with shower and additional downstairs WC.

Washing machine available on site.

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

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 first very successful year with a full house of 5 star reviews.

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.
