A huge room measuring 7.5m by 5m (23ft by 16ft) with beautiful beams and lots of light. There is also a central fireplace, which in colder months gives the room a different ambience. Here, there are 3 large sofas to relax on, which, together with the other armchairs provides comfortable seating for a full house. The salon is equipped with TV/DVD/audio and a desk with phone as well as an additional fax/internet point and plus a few popular games.

Bedroom 1 – Mariner’s (3.7m by 3.1m / 12ft by 10 ft). Decorated in blue and white, this is the only twin bedded room with iron beds, that can be pushed together to make a double, or is ideal for children. As with all the bedrooms on the first floor the room has a small entrance hall with built in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, with a power shower.

Bedroom 2 – Colonial (3.8m by 3.4m/12.5ft by 11ft) with cool parchment coloured wallpaper, metal and glass furniture including a mosquito netted double iron bed.

All six bedrooms have all-season two layer duvets, 2 pillows per person, Ralph Lauren bed linen and towels, wardrobes, hairdryers and fans. The towels supplied include generous bath sheets-in our opinion, a real must, whatever the weather!

Exterior

Immediately outside the front door is a large gravel outdoor dining terrace, complete with teak dining and seating furniture and BBQ.

On the surrounding grass are easy chairs for reclining and a children’s swing/slide play area.

The Chateau parkland leads to the river less than 50 metres away while the tennis court is situated in front of The Lodge.

The covered heated swimming pool is 3 minutes walk away on the other side of the chateau and can be accessed by a private path from The Lodge. The shallow end has steps across its width and the first few metres allow smaller children to stand up.There is a large patio area with teak steamers and cushions, complemented by a shady gazebo.

The poolhouse nearby houses a toilet and shower, as well as a drinks fridge.

The chateau parkland itself, the length of which runs alongside the Sioule river is full of mature trees – with enormous chestnut trees and a magnificent copper beech. The Sioule, is about 12 metres wide at this point, A watchtower overlooks the river, and close by is the ancient 11th century chapel. At the top of the old stone staircase, discover the ancient orchard and stroll across to the other gated entrance to the chateau.
