Authentic 13th century castle with deep moat and functioning drawbridge. Such a wonderful experience! The owners, Philippa and Nicholas, are lovely people who care deeply about their castle and ensuring their guests enjoy themselves. Be sure to order the home cooked dinner, it was our favorite meal of the entire trip. Go see Puy du Fou (hour drive) if you have the time - such a splendid theater amusement park!

This chateau is perfect. Quiet and quaint. Philippa and her husband are sweet and helpful. They’ll let you roam around outside (go on a boat in the moat, garden, apple trees) The chateau has been well kept and upgraded just enough for comfort. Each room is a different theme, we stayed in the Knights Chambers. The breakfast spread was delicious.

Beautifully restored medieval castle. We stayed in the top room (King's Chamber) and had a wonderful 2 days of relaxing. The pool and small grounds with a myriad flowers and fruit trees offer a beautiful background while you relax like a medieval King and Queen. A little row boat allows you to row around the castle in the moat and get a close up view of the stone walls and turrets. A demonstration of the working drawbridge was also very impressive and interesting. Highly recommended experience for anyone who likes castles and/or medieval history.
