We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful French château with our family of 14. The house was perfect for such a large group, with each room being very comfortable and having its own unique character and charm. The bathrooms have recently been fitted to a very high standard, which was a lovely added touch.The kitchen was extremely well equipped, with plenty of fridges for storing all our food and drinks. The ice machine was particularly handy and very much appreciated by everyone!The pool was a real highlight and was enjoyed by all. It was kept at a lovely warm temperature and cleaned daily, making it a pleasure to use even on the cloudier days.Our hosts were very welcoming and made us feel at home throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the château and would love to return again in the future.A wonderful place for a family getaway — highly recommended!

A fantastic family get together courtesy of very helpful hosts John and Charlene. Beautiful chateau with excellent furnishings and equipment, and of course that pool. An excellent base to explore this lovely area of the Loire with chateaus and wineries a-plenty

Lovely place for a break for the extended family

Lovely big rooms, some with additional beds for extra guests such as children. Lots of wooden flooring, characterful decoration (stuffed animals etc). All the bedrooms are on the 1st or 2nd floor, so not suitable for anyone with limited/poor mobility. Kitchen: No ice maker (mentioned in listing). No toaster - odd for a commercial kitchen and much missed by the children. Oven didn't work well - large range cooker, but the main oven has a smashed window and the side oven could not be used as it set off the alarm (not the smoke alarm) and tripped out the electric. When you have 20 guests to cater for, you need a fully working oven, so this need to be repaired to full functionality. Plenty of fridge storage for food and drink, as well as freezers for ice creams (and improvised ice making) etc! Pool was lovely - clean and pleasantly warm and enjoyed every day by the whole family. Extensive grounds for roaming around. Large fish, ducks and even otters in the large stream that runs through the grounds. Nice table tennis table, which we used a lot too. Large dining room which we used once. After that we used all the outside tables for meals, as the weather was so good. Despite the aforementioned kitchen issues, we had a lovely time at the chateau and would recommend to any large group of around 20, if they fit with the room configuration.
