Nestled in the Château de Bourneau’s private park and woodland of 16 hectares, the château’s original outhouses have been sensitively converted into large holiday cottages, each with their own pool. Le Manoir and La Villa can each welcome twelve guests, which makes them perfect for large family gathering. Each cottage offers a perfect escape to nature in the unspoilt Vendéen countryside, with the convenience of the charming village of Bourneau and the surrounding villages. Le Manoir & La Villa are next door to each other and a connecting door from Le Manoir's garden into the open plan function room of La Villa can be opened to adjoin the 2 houses: Le Manoir: Le Manoir Holiday Cottage was originally the coach house of the Château de Bourneau Estate and it remains its most impressive cottage. The beautiful wisteria climbing on its facade gives it a traditional French farmhouse charm and is perfect for Summer al fresco dining. There is a private walled garden, with its own swimming pool (7×3.5 m) and a barn with a ping-pong table. Le Manoir carries its name well as it sits proudly at the entrance of the Château de Bourneau Estate, directly facing the château. Its very spacious rooms and living areas will comfortably welcome large groups for all occasions. The Layout (3 double, 3 twins): The ground floor houses a large open-plan dining and living room and a playroom/reading room with toilet opposite. The kitchen has a direct access to the garden, which is perfect when preparing your outdoor meals, allowing you to enjoy the climate of the second sunniest region in France! A twin bedroom with its ensuite bathroom completes the ground floor and will offer privacy and easier access for guests who find stair-climbing difficult. The other bedrooms are all situated upstairs, where you will find an additional three bathrooms. Outside, the garden with its private herb garden and charming original well, provides the perfect sunbathing spot around your private swimming pool. The additional barn over-looking the swimming pool makes a good games room and houses a ping pong table and can provide extra shade in the afternoon.
