Description
Situated on the grounds of the stately Chateau D’Arnac, a 15th century fairytale Chateau, the Honeymoon Cottage has been sensitively restored into a chic and sweet rental for couples or small groups. Each room in the house has been filled with luxurious details such as chic wallpaper, elegant fabrics, antique furniture, and high-end linens.
This three story former gatehouse, is set on a small lake (with the burbling river nearby) where guests can enjoy dining al fresco on the wooden deck overlooking the lake or in the private garden.
The ground floor contains a cozy sitting room with large Inglenook fireplace where you can snuggle up in front of a roaring log fire and the adjacent tower houses the fully equipped kitchen.
The second floor features another sitting room and ultra-luxurious bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a double ended tub. The Bridal Suite (with en-suite bath) is on the third floor and features an amazing exposed, arched timber roof and romantic four poster canopied bed with outfitted in luxurious goose down.
When not relaxing in your very own fairytale home, try your hand at archery, croquet, or hot air ballooning, all of which can be arranged to take place right on the grounds of the Chateau.
At the Honeymoon Cottage you are transported back to the Renaissance where you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
While its roots are long and storied, Honeymoon Cottage has been completely updated with modern conveniences including: Wifi, Plasma 3DTV and DVD with cable, iPod dock audio system, Bosch kitchen equipment, library, luxury linens and robes.

A blissful start to married life!
We’ve had a wonderful stay here at this honeymoon cottage. A blissful start to married life! Thank you for your hospitality Chris. We’ll certainly miss Hagar’s company too. All the best!

Absolutely superb!
What a fabulous place to stay! We headed down from London in need of a relaxing few days, it could not have been more perfect. The gatehouse itself is exquisite, beautifully presented and furnished, equipped with everything we needed plus more. After a quick trip to the supermarket to stock up on food and wine we hardly ventured out for the rest of our stay. It was the perfect environment to just curl up in front of a crackling fire and let the world carry on without us for a few days. Thank you so much Chris for looking after us so well, we will be back in a few months for another battery recharge!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay…
Absolutely wonderful place to stay, totally relaxed. The ducks, geese, peacocks, lizards and dogs make it all a magical fairy-tale. Thanks to Sarah and Chris for being excellent hosts throughout. We will return.

Thank you for a truly memorable stay…
We just wanted to thank you for a truly memorable stay at Rapunzels Folie. We had a wonderful time – everything was perfect. From the beautiful grounds, to the fantastic decor, comfortable bed and of course, Hagar and Sirus. Chris was an excellent host and was kind enough to show us round the Chateaux which was a unexpected bonus. The beautiful weather was icing on the cake. We’ve already recommended the place to several people! Thanks again!

A wonderful house…
We had a wonderful time in the peaceful grounds. The dogs, geese and peacocks added to the natural atmosphere. The house was wonderful and we will be sad to leave.

We had the most wonderful week at the Honeymoon Cottage but cannot begin to put into words how lovely it was. The house is absolutely beautiful with incredible attention to detail – everything about it felt terribly spoiling and indulgent. And the location was just stunning – we didn’t want to tear ourselves away as the view and surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful. It was the most idyllic week – we just wish we could be there all the time!

When we were searching for a house where our small family could spend some time together cooking, reading and exploring the countryside we could scarcely believe our luck when we came across the gate house. Could it really be as wonderful as it seemed. After a week here we know that we were indeed lucky,the honeymoon cottage surpassed all our hopes, thank you.
