Up to four re-styled cosy 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 restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, a 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 activity lakes and the Rejallant Canoeing Centre.

The space
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, installed in 2023, 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'.

The cottages accommodate up to 15 including all children, infants and babies, ideally, a maximum of 12 adults. You would have exclusive use of the site and all facilities. The property is securely gated and there is space for parking four cars on site.

My work: Cottage rental
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.
