La Maison du Chateau

"We have had the most wonderful week - more wonderful than I can say!  It was exactly what we had hoped for and more... The house was perfect... there was something for everyone to do at any time.  Football, fishing, messing about on the river, tennis, swimming, great games of rounders... it was completely perfect.  Delphine was exactly as you described - wonderful.  Nothing seemed too much trouble and her food was really fantastic."  Elliot July 2011

 

"The house and grounds were beautiful, Delphine's cooking was fabulous...  We particularly enjoyed messing about on the river...  Brendan Moore was a great recommendation: he gave us an excellent in-house tasting and took 5 of us on an all-day tour on Tuesday...  I certainly hope to revisit La Maison du Chateau with the family. " Swift June 2011
