Extraordinary chateau
Authentically shabby chic chateau, an experience you will never forget. Excellent place for a large group (we were 12 most of the fortnight) and perfect for eating drinking and talking late into the night. The pool is good and needed in the summer (38 degrees while we were there). Despite the large indoor space it was the outdoor living that we particularly enjoyed. Not a place for people who want modern conveniences, but if you want authentic old french this is perfect.

Authentic !
What a happy time we had at your beautiful house! There were 14 staying at one stage over the fortnight we were there and the house accommodated us easily! I still dream of the lofty ceilings, the sun peeping through our shutters in the morning, the cicadas droning through the drowsy afternoons, the birdcalls and murmur of voices as we prepared our meals together in the sunlit evenings....what an unforgettable holiday. Thank you Robert and Deborah, we will always appreciate your wonderful hospitality.

Agreable sejour entre amis
Très bon séjour dans une maison spacieuse, agréable et au calme Très bon contact avec les hôtes, qui ont su nous donner tous les renseignements sur la maison, les environs. Il y a une piscine et la rivière est un vrai plus! Attention toutefois aux lits 1 place qui ne conviennent pas tous à des adultes

Un séjour hors du temps
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans ce château au charme désuet. Maniaques du confort matériel et du luxe, s'abstenir, amoureux des veilles pierres et d'un cadre authentique, n'hésitez pas. Deborah et Robert font tout pour vous rendre le séjour dès plus agréables et vous feront partager leur passion pour ce domaine familial. La région offre de multiples possibilités, tant pour les activités culturelles que pour les randonnées et autres escapades.

Belle maison mais manque de confort
Nous avons apprécié le style de la maison et son côté figée dans le temps , ses beaux espaces mais côté détente et confort ça laissé à desirer: 7 chambres mais couchages vétustes, pas de salon ou pièce de vie avec canapé confortable, seulement 4 transats abîmés pour 6 adultes et 3 enfants... C'est rustique !
