Chateau cottage

Gite holidays in the Vendée

Welcome to our Gite in the Vendée, France

Welcome to Chateau Cottage, a charming, newly renovated and tranquil gite in the centre of a pretty village in the Vendee. We have given our gite the name Chateau Cottage as all the buildings were originally the property of the church many years ago. These formed the original chateau dwellings resulting in the accommodation having a very interesting history.

The accommodation is located in a pretty courtyard setting dominated by the beautiful village church which is illuminated at night and is run by James and Fran Colling who live on site thus ensuring you will be well looked after during your stay with us.

Ideal for families and couples, the gite is fully equipped with oil fired central heating whilst maintaining all the original features of stone walls and exposed beams. The stone-built gite is furnished to a high standard with modern fixtures and fittings whilst retaining the original charm. It sleeps 4-6 people and comprises of a large eat-in kitchen, a spacious lounge (with wood-burning stove), two bedrooms (one double with ensuite bathroom and a twin bedroom) and family bathroom. There is a large swimming pool and private enclosed garden with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.

The gite is situated next to the beautiful church in Thouarsais Bouildroux, a traditional French village surrounded by open countryside. For those wanting to immerse themselves into the French way of life a popular bar is located a short walk away at the end of the road. The nearest village 2kms away has a boulangerie, Spa supermarket, charcuterie and bars and restaurant. La Chataigneraie is situated 10mins away which has a number of supermarkets and many other shops. There area is also well served by restaurants with many only a short drive away and we can provide information and recommendations to our guests.
