Le Mas de Roussa

We stayed at the beautiful Le Mas de Roussa during the summer, and what a slice of rural French heaven Anna and Darren have created for their guests. So much to explore in the area, we particularly enjoyed visiting the local markets, and when staying at the accommodation the pool was brilliant! We will be back!

We took our 3 children to away for a week and stayed at the beautiful La Mas De Roussa. This is real luxury accommodation, the kids loved the river and the pool and were able to wander around freely while we relaxed in the peace and quiet of the amazing surroundings. Great location too with shops only a 5 minute drive away and loads to do around the area. Darren and Anna couldn't do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble and they were such fantastic hosts. Will definitely be back. :)

We have just stayed in August 2024 for a family holiday and have had such an amazing time that we will and must return again to experience this small piece of paradise in the Cevennes!
The entire property and the gites were immaculate and luxurious and we made much use of the glorious pool, BBQ’s and grounds to indulge in much river and woodland walking and nature spotting including many animal species such as Otters, Beaver, Red Squirrel, Birds, Butterflies, Bats, Dragonflies and many more!
Darren and Anna looked after us very well and gave us many top local recommendations for exploring the local area including Wines Tasting, Antiques Fairs, Nature Walking, Hiking Trails, River swimming, Kayaking, Craft and Food Markets, Gorge and Mountain view points which made this an extra special experience.
The property was great for our elderly parents and also young children and there is much to do and see for entertainment and activities as well as the serious chilling and relaxing environment created for the perfect holiday!
We absolutely loved our stay and we shall certainly return as soon as possible and we can highly recommend Le Mas de Roussa and Darren and Anna and their lovely family as the perfect hosts and guides!

We spent a glorious week at Le Mas de Roussa with our two young children. We explored the forests, kayaked in the crystal clear river and relaxed in the gorgeous swimming pool. Hosts Anna and Darren have skilfully and tastefully restored the magnificent chateau and were the perfect hosts, helping create the most magical memories for our family.

After a warm welcome, it was with pleasure that we discovered the 6 people's Mas.
Enough place, all you need to cook and freshness in a very hot summer end (2 to 6 septembre 2023).
The salted water pool was quite refreshing and we had plenty of time to train our pétanque skills.
Plenty of things to do around (you will need a car).
Would definitely come back :)

A beautiful, charming place in the middle of nature. A 300-year-old building, restored down to the smallest detail. Great interior design, amazing flowers and plants. The apartments have everything you need — from a fully equipped kitchen to capsules for washing in the washing machine. Anna and Darren took care of the greatest possible comfort, but also exceptional cleanliness. Fresh croissants, home-made marmalade and cheeses were waiting for us on the good morning! Wonderful hosts, helpful in every topic. Guests have at their disposal a swimming pool with inflatable toys, a ping pong table and boules. On the property forest, a crystal clear river and in the neighborhood small towns and places for kayaking. It's been a long time since no place made such an amazing impression on us! We definitely recommend it and we will come back here for sure :)

We had an amazing holiday here. The place is located in the middle of nature, there is a big forest to wander around in and a beautiful river for swimming. We stayed with our two jong children. There are many facilities for them to enjoy like a (safely fenced off) pool, jeu de boules etc. The house is very comfortable, beautifully decorated and clean. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. They made us feel very welcome. The perfect getaway for families. We are going back for a second visit soon.

We just got back to England after a few days at this beautiful Gîte. We would highly reccomend — gorgeous special touches such as goats cheese and honey, jam and croissants. We really appreciated Anna and Darren’s hospitality. It also felt extremely private and the setting is just beautiful. We will be back!

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Le Mas de Roussa. Darren and Anna were really helpful hosts, suggesting restaurants and places to visit, none of which disappointed. The house is so well situated with the Ardeche and beautiful medieval villages within easy access. Equally it is well worth just staying at the Gite Noyer since the riverside grounds are beautiful and the environment really relaxing. The house is very comfortable with wonderful views. The pool area is a huge added bonus and I only wish we had had time to try the boules, we will return to give this a try!

I want to say a big "thank you" to Anna and Darren for being so welcoming and making our holiday pretty damn perfect.
The gite we stayed in was spacious with all mod cons (a special call out for heated swimming pool outside) and the outdoor space really picturesque, especially the local river where we spent a sunny afternoon getting our feet wet.
Anna took time to recommend a number of restaurants and places to visit so we had plenty to see and do during our stay. Looking forward to returning in the future!
