Welcome to A_Bedat_Life, we are offering whole-food, plant based eco-friendly accommodation, artist & writer retreats and workshops and retreats for health and wellbeing near the scenic Saint Emilion, Bordeaux. At the heart of the domain is a fortified 16th century manor (currently not entirely habitable by humans ;-). The accommodation is in the spacious converted barn with one guest room providing direct access to the courtyard around the manor. There is a large communal area, a mediation/ library mezzanine space and a terrace which you are welcome to use. Please note this is not a self catering property, but the kitchen can be used for tea making. We provide a large selection of organic and home grown herbal teas. There is plenty of space here and for larger groups who are happy to share bathrooms we can make up additional bedrooms. There are an extra 3 rooms which can be used.Enjoy walking around the estate, relaxing under the plum trees which provide lovely shade even on the hottest days. Bedat and the area around us is classified as a nature reserve and we have a diversity of wildlife, insects and especially butterflies all around the domain. There are lovely walks nearby and lots of interesting sights within a short drive of Bedat. Since this is Bordeaux we also have a lot of recommendations for great organic vineyards and wine shops to visit. Saint Emilion is only a 15 minute drive. Plenty to do around here, but also plan in some time to relax on the domain, enjoy a quiet meditation in the meditation room and feel free to use the shared communal area. An organic, wholefood plant based breakfast is included and there is the option for a 4 course whole food plant based dinner with a glass of organic wine for EUR 40 per person. Please let us know in advance. We love this place for its peace and tranquility and are keen to have guests who are looking for the same. We welcome all lovers of nature, animals and plant based- wholefood.
The space
Jade Vert is a garden room with a door that leads to the courtyard. You have a private bathroom and a separate toilet just across the corridor.
The kitchen
The kitchen can be used for making tea and other beverages, it is equipped with a Berkey water filter and lots of organic and many home grown herbal teas. Please note that this is not a self catering accommodation, but food can be provided by us. A delicious, organic vegan breakfast is included in your stay and dinner can be provided, just let us know. The kitchen in the barn is entirely vegan, we only use organic and whenever possible locally sourced food.
We do feed our dog Pip some meat and this is prepared in the kitchen of a separate building.
Other things to note
We have a gorgeous little dog, Pip the Schnoodle who really likes other friendly dogs- as long as they don't try to dominate him ;-). Well behaved dogs are very welcome here.
There is good Wifi in the main communal area but not in the bedrooms. We are doing this on purpose as we feel it's important to have no Wifi signal when sleeping, and it's so rare these days to have that. There is good mobile phone reception generally.
Parking is on-site no problem, plenty of space.
