Unique, characterful and outstandingly beautiful chateau with immaculately maintained parkland grounds. Our room in the old stables had been recently renovated to the highest standard and with attention given to every detail. This is the sort of place that you always hope to discover but rarely do. Even the local town is only a ten minute walk away. Eat at Basile, yet another revelation. We only wished we were staying for longer.

Amazing place to stay. We booked a room for 2 Adults & 2 Children which gave us two double bedrooms within one small apartment type setting with a good sized bathroom (and huge bath). All very spacious and plenty of room. Gardens is massive which you can walk around very pleasant in summer Alex (host) is extremely warming on arrival and nothing is too much trouble Nice and quiet area I would highly recommend this accommodation

Erg gastvrij en een prachtige locatie! De grote tuin met klein privé bos is perfect voor een kort wandelingetje en je hebt er alle ruimte om te kunnen ontspannen. Wij waren met een gezin van 5 waarbij we perfect konden slapen in Suite Theresa. Ook voor zakelijk doeleinden is dit een ideale pluk als je even tot rust wilt komen.
