Wonderful, peaceful holiday property

We all had a lovely holiday, staying at this beautiful, spacious property. The pool is fantastic and we hardly felt the need to leave the property as the children entertained themselves and it is perfect for relaxing, being so tranquil. The nearby river beach was fun too. The owner was very attentive when needed and provided helpful tips about the area. We’d love to come back!

Family and Friends Holiday

The property is in a real nice, quiet location. Most of the group stayed in and around the property all week and the children spent lots of time in the pool. Aside from a bit of miscommunicaitons on arrival it was ideal and we would look to book again in the future.

Great outside space

Lovely peaceful location. Great pool and outside eating area. Cinema room was brilliant for the children, they loved the woods and the river beach and had a great time building a den and fishing. Kitchen well equipped and there were 2 big BBQ’s that we used nearly everyday. The hosts kept in touch to make sure everything was ok and we could contact them if needed.

Quality family time 6th~20th Aug 2022

Beautiful house and superb location for those of you that are in much need of a well earned rest. The facilities meant that the young ones had plenty to do whether it were watching films in the cinema room, playing pool, table tennis and the abundance of toys and games. Beautiful walks in the woods with our dog that we’re plentiful and all off road. Would definitely recommend

A fab holiday

We stayed as a group of 16 and had a fabulous week at La Grange. The kids loved the pool, the woods, the cinema room when it was cloudy, and the swing was a big hit. The adults loved the bbq and outdoor seating for dinner and sundowners. The kitchen was really well equipped. There was so much space and the play room / games room had toys and games for all ages. Communication was fab and they helped us with some recommendations of places to go as well. A fab week.

Beautiful Setting Lovely Converted Barn

We spent a very enjoyable week celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday. The barn is spacious with plenty of area for the kids to play and adults to relax. The bedrooms are large and all beds very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed plenty of good meals at the huge dinning table. The pool is great, although the weather was unseasonably cold when we stayed and the pool had an issue and did not reach temp until the day we left. The location is perfect if you want to get away from it all. And it’s a lovely short walk into the village. We were out of season so the river beach was not set up for use when we stayed.

Wonderful stay, beautiful house

What a such a wonderful week at La Grange de Chatelus! We were three families (six adults, eight children) and we stayed for a week during August. The house is stunning, huge rooms, comfortable beds, amazing ensuites to all the bedrooms, multiple washing machines, tumble dryers and even two dishwashers. The kids loved the swimming pool, cinema room and pool table. Richard and Sisca were great hosts, they quickly replied to our messages and the lady who checked us in was very helpful. We had a great afternoon by the river down the road, we hired a boat and canoes which was lots of fun! The house is quite remote with a drive to supermarkets and towns but this was perfect for us. Thanks for a brilliant stay!

Beautiful Location for a Relaxing Break

This beautiful converted barn sits deep in the French countryside. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with the family. The heated swimming pool was the favourite with the children. The host was attentive and kept in touch to make sure everything was right. We visited Limoges and the Lakes and the local towns. Amazed at the lack of traffic on the roads. you could drive for miles without seeing another car. This was a perfect place for our family break. Can't think of any negatives, unless you are looking for some night life. We certainly were not.

Lovely stay apart from the pool problems

Pros - The house is fantastic for a large group. It has a well equipped kitchen, great living room and lots of facilities - the pool table was much loved. The bedrooms are all comfortable, each their own en-suite. The BBQ was much used and there is a lovely outside seating area. Cons - the pool was not working for a number of days. The owner lives in the UK and does not have somebody monitoring the pool locally. Managing a pool from another country seems to be a recipe for disaster. Judging from the visitor book and some previous reviews this does not seem to have been the first time the pool has caused problems.

We’re so pleased you enjoyed the facilities at the barn and we are so sorry for the trouble you had with the pool. The automated PoolCop management system has been temperamental and so we have taken the decision to replace it with a more simple manual set up. We do have people on call for any issues that arise, I believe you met Joe who came over during your stay, but the old system was reliant on many automated parts working together so there was only so much he or I could do to resolve the problem for you. We are confident that the new simplified system will lead to fewer issues as our team can now manage the pool more directly. We hope the partial refund that we sent you helped to ease the frustration you experienced.

Group of friends fun holiday in France

As a group of 9 friends we met here for our annual holiday. Property is in a good location, very quiet and lots of space. Rooms are all doubles and en suite. The shared spaces are large and plentiful. Lots of butterflies and lizards just outside the door which was lovely. The river is very close by and swimming in there was great. We had a problem with lots of flies at the property which was difficult as we had to keep the windows and doors open to keep the airflow through the property, it was heating up quickly in the hot weather. Nothing really to be done about it but just to mention.Some of the bathrooms were quite tired and a couple seemed to have been leaking into the rooms below. They were clean though. The kitchen is beautiful and large, the table is a very good size for everyone to sit around. We did clean half way through the week to see if that would help with the flies, there were some areas which were perhaps missed on a couple of previous cleans but nothing too bad. All in all, if you want time away with friends or family with lots of indoor and outdoor space this is a good affordable option. The owners were very good in all their communications.

Stay with friends in a very nice accommodation

We were with 3 families (6 adults and 8 children including two dogs) in the beautiful accommodation of Richard and Sisca. We liked it overall very much. The accommodation is spread over three levels, downstairs is the playroom for the kids with ping pong table, dart board, kicker, PlayStation and Nintendo Wi. Also the laundry room with two washing machines and dryers is on the lower level. On the middle level is the large living room with grand piano, pool table and sitting area, the frequently used cinema room with a lot of DVD's and also books. The videos can be played on a projector with sound system. This was especially our children very happy to use. The really large kitchen is very well equipped and offers plenty of space. There are two refrigerators, a separate freezer, two dishwashers, an ice machine so that it really lacks nothing. We really liked that that. From the kitchen you can go outside at ground level. In addition, there is another toilet and a large bedroom with bathroom on the middle level. On the upper level there are 5 bedrooms with bathroom. We all found the beds to be very good. Everyone always slept well. If many people are showering at the same time, the water pressure is a little low. The outdoor area is very spacious and well maintained. The pool is large. The neighbors are far away and it is absolutely quiet. Contact to Richard and Sisca was always very good.

Fantastisch

Prachtige week gehad met de familie. Voor de jeugd was het zwembad, de bioscoop en de pooltafel het absolute hoogtepunt. Heerlijke keuken om in te koken (met 2 afwasmachines!) en fijne slaapkamers met ieder zijn eigen badkamer. In de buurt weinig vertier, maar als je van wandelen houdt en opzoek bent naar quality time met de familie in een prachtige omgeving, dan ben je hier bij het juiste adres. Voor mensen met een beperking, er zijn veel trappen aanwezig! Enige tip voor de eigenaren: matrasjes voor de ligbedden aan het zwembad is echt een must. Losse kussens is niet ideaal. Verder krijgt het verblijf een dikke vette 10!!
