The cottages can accommodate up to 15 with, ideally, a maximum of 12 adults. Please contact us if you need flexibility on these numbers
Gites Rue Du Chateau is a complex of four French terraced cottages situated in the grounds of what was once part of the Old Chateau. Ideal for larger family and friends bookings, when you would like to have separate accommodation but be on the same site. Situated in two and half acres of peaceful, part walled gardens and woodland, with a small stream and ancient lavoir, outside kitchen with enclosed dining space and terrace, cosy fire pit corner and dining terraces overlooking gardens. We have a lovely above ground pool, 5m diameter, 1.2m deep; perfect for cooling down on a hot summers day. You will also have access to a boules area, BBQ, hammocks with plenty of space for garden games. Within walking distance of supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, beer bar/warehouse and local market. Close to activity lakes and the Rejallant Canoeing Centre.
Described, in one of our reviews as, 'a beautiful place, with a fine balance between modern comfort and ancient charm', 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 site is gated with secure parking for up to four cars.

Anna Lisa and Ian were two warm and lovely hosts who respond immediately to any questions and live just across the gites the rent, so very approachable nd closeby. All the gites were fully equipped, very clean and hygienic. A big pizza oven to use, swimming pool (work in progress), a plancha, nice garden and a small river running just a few steps away, ducks coming to visit once in a while, ... Shall I continue?

“Wow “was what I said when Ian showed us their Secret Garden, going in through a traditional iron gate, looking across a lovely open green space bordered by the stream and rustling trees, and a fire pit area, over past the swimming pool, shady apple trees, loungers over to the outdoor kitchen, and separate dining room (seats 10), patio with table and benches for 12 or more , 2 BBQs, fairy lights in every area, another fire pit and more grass behind for football practice.
As the family arrived, everyone said wow, 12 of us in total aged from 74 to 2, and we all really enjoyed the huge range of amenity on offer in these gites. The lavoir was a great place to cool off as was the indoor dining area in the communal part of the gites. That seated 10 as well. We all had our own houses to retreat to and furnished patios. In the main courtyard there was another set of tables and benches for 12 or more, also with fairy lights for the evening. It was really hot when we were there, and we appreciated the army of fans for the bedrooms. We tested Anna and Ian with requests for travel cots, a bed made up in a living room to provide more single bedrooms, and endless other queries. They were endlessly good humored, generous and flexible. We spent most of our time splashing, lounging and learning to swim in the pool for several sessions a day, with early morning ambles into town past wildlife rich trout stream (kingfisher, coypu, and water snakes) to get croissants and baguette – the toddlers

We had a wonderful week in May at this collection of gites in Ruffec. The grounds are gorgeous with lots of games - we enjoyed badminton, petanque, table tennis and football - as well as the forest to explore and lots of hammocks to lounge around and take in the surroundings. The splash pool was out of action when we visited but Ian and Anna had arranged a temporary pool which was perfect for the children to play around and adults to cool down. Whilst each gite is separate, they share a communal space with indoor and outdoor tables so everyone can sit round together. The buildings have plenty of character with lots of lovely little touches whilst being fitted out with modern kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchens well-equipped, linen and towels provided and plenty of pool towels too. Nearby we explored the river at Aire de Rejallant, great for splashing about, swimming and dam building, with playground and sandpit adjacent. We also did the velo train at Confolens and Jardins d'Argentor, both good half days out. But mostly we just enjoyed being on-site and found there was enough to occupy our children ranging from 1 to 10. Ian and Anna were great hosts and really passionate about sharing their wonderful property with guests. Thank you both for a fantastic week!
