Accommodation
5 rooms - three doubles and two twins - all en suite
Room prices from £70 a night including breakfast
There are numerous self-catering gites and B&Bs nearby for parties too
large to sleep in the chateau.
Reception space
50 without marquee or 100 with marquee.
The whole of the ground floor entertaining space flows from one end of the
chateau to the other with French doors onto a superb terrace overlooking the
parkland and rolling countryside beyond. It is very light and airy with 3
metre ceilings. Traditional decor with a few contemporary twists. The
reception area can be left furnished for recreation space if you have a
marquee for the wedding breakfast. Or it can be cleared for a stand up
buffet for 100 or laid out with tables for around 50 people. There is a
white baby grand piano which is fabulous for photos. We can also hire a
pianist and/or a string quartet. Basic hire charges start at 3,000 euro for
three nights including B&B accommodation for up to ten people. This gives
you exclusive use of the chateau for the wedding.
Four acres of parkland with mature trees. Ideal for a marquee. The grounds
and house make a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. There is a cathedral
of 150th high trees, a swing, fountain and beautiful terrace running the
length of the house.
