Sunflower Cottage is part of a suite of terraced cottages at Gites Rue Du Chateau, with access to spacious gardens, with woodland, a beautiful clear stream running through an ancient lavoir and a covered dining terrace. We have an above ground pool, boules area, BBQs, outside kitchen with dining terrace and cosy fire pit area. Surprisingly peaceful, but within walking distance of restaurants, bakeries, shops and market. Local activities include 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 and feel at one with nature and at the same time, have fun and make those precious memories.
Sunflower Cottage sleeps four, including children, infants and babies, with one double and one twin room. Both rooms have views across gardens and the old town. Upstairs bathroom with shower and downstairs WC. Cosy sitting room and dining room with door which opens onto a very quiet, access only, street. Small but well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, cooker, hob and fridge freezer. Internal door gives access to an area with shared laundry facilities and access to a covered dining terrace with a view across the gardens . Electric heating.
During your stay, you will also have access to the two and a half acres of garden. It includes a beautiful clear stream, running through an old lavoir and small woodland. 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, an outside kitchen with inside and outside dining space and cosy fire pit area. There is plenty of space for relaxation and outdoor garden games.
The site is gated with secure parking.
Every day you could wake up to the sound of birdsong, a running stream and hear the local church bells in the distance.
Described, in one of our reviews as, 'a beautiful place, with a fine balance between modern and ancient charm'.
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 and maintaining the grounds during your stay.
Sunflower Cottage can be rented individually or as part of a suite of up to four cottages… see our Gites Rue Du Chateau listing on Airbnb or contact us for an exclusive whole-site price.

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.
