    Beautiful chateau in beautiful countryside. No dinner options but our request to picnic in the garden was met with enthusiasm and we were supplied plates/cutlery and wine glasses - and had a choice of “dining” locations throughout the grounds. ...

    Location was lovely and hosts very accomodating. The tour of the château was an added extra! Loved it that the owners have tried to keep the old nature of the place but with modern facilities .
