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.

Whole Site/Group Booking Policy
Whole site bookings are welcome here at Gites Rue Du Chateau and it is a great place to have fun with friends and family. However, it is not an appropriate location for loud party gatherings. Please respect the following:
• Details will be requested about type of group booking, i.e., family, friends, occasion so that we are well informed of needs and expectations.
• Hosts will meet with a group leader on arrival to share how to use facilities on site.
• All guests agree to follow our Terms & Conditions – please ensure all your group have read them.
• Noise levels – Please respect others, including us, who also live on the premises and our neighbours by keeping noise at an ambient level. Whilst we do not want to spoil anyone’s fun, this would be particularly relevant to larger group bookings, and we would ask that guests be mindful of keeping conversation and music levels down after 11.00pm.
