2-person studio close to castles, markets & wineries for a fab French experience
Rosemary is a one room studio that was converted from the manor house loft in 2016. It retains the original character with some original stonework, a solid wood floor and exposed beams in the double height ceiling. Rosemary is on the first floor on the side of Manoir Bourdon, accessed via an external staircase. The ensuite shower room has a generous shower enclosure with glass door, modern wc and basin. The attractive kitchen area is fully equipped with sink, oven, hob and fridge. A sunny balcony overlooks the heated swimming pool, delightful manor house garden and picturesque French countryside and is furnished with a table and chairs, perfect for the French way of life, with long lazy al fresco lunches and a glass or two of Loire valley wine.
Bumblebee Manor (Manoir Bourdon) is a historic manor house in the middle of a small French village south of Saumur nestled within the Loire Valley Natural Park. It is surrounded by vineyards, farms and fields that are filled with color during the summer. You enter the property through a gate, making the property safe and secure, and a haven from the bustle of other tourists and traffic. Guests have shared use of a heated swimming pool and charming gardens with BBQ area.
Place your order for fresh croissants and bread and we will deliver it to your door by 9am in time for breakfast. Borrow one of our bikes and tootle along our country lanes to explore local villages. Experience the fabulous food at local cafes, bistros and restaurants, or shop at a local market and prepare a relaxed meal in your own kitchen to enjoy in your private outdoor space with a glass of renowned Loire Valley wine.
With five 2-person cottages, Bumblebee Manor is perfect for couples wanting a romantic getaway or for groups of friends and family wanting a shared vacation. Groups of 6 or more are given access to the manor house terrace with its alfresco dining and lounge areas, the best of both worlds as each couple have their own self-catering space but the group has a place to gather for dining and socializing.
With easy access to castles, markets, great restaurants and wineries, Bumblebee Manor is perfectly situated for a wonderful self-catering holiday in the Loire Valley, France. We look forward to hosting you and sharing "la belle vie francaise". To life!
