About this property

Chateau With Swimming Pool, Hot Tub and Sauna

Recently featured on Channel 4's popular series Chateau DIY.

Chateau de Dohem has a romantic history; in 1875 Andre Joseph Courtat built a large and beautiful property on the birthplace of his wife. The Chateau has breathtaking views over open countryside and is set in the heart of the Regional Natural Park Caps and Marais d’Opale in a small village called Dohem which is just a 40 minute drive from both the Eurotunnel and the Ferry, making it ideal for those who want to holiday in France but without all the driving. The property is set behind a high wall and is approached through wrought iron gates, over a sweeping gravel drive with plenty of parking space for 8-10 cars.

This beautiful Chateau has been completely renovated to a very high standard. It has 7 bedrooms in total. Six bedrooms within the Chateau, arranged over two floors, 3 of which have en suite shower rooms, a large light and airy lounge with wood burning stove, Games Room with Pool Table, Study with Wi-Fi, fully equipped Kitchen with large range style cooker, fridge/freezer with ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, large walk in Pantry and Utility Room with washing machine, tumble dryer and treble fridge, Dining Room seating for 16, ground floor cloakroom, first floor cloakroom and large family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Across the Courtyard a converted barn houses bedroom 7 which has a King Size bed with access to shower room and toilet via the sauna room. Within this building there is also a massage room, Sauna and changing Room

The property has a decked eating out area outside the kitchen with large table and chairs and to the rear of the property is a huge multi level decked area with seating and loungers with sandstone paving around the swimming pool which is heated between April and October.

This area incorporates the hot tub and swimming pool and has far reaching views over open rolling countryside. There are large landscaped gardens with lawned area and shrub borders, a pergola rose garden, small vegetable garden and a separate 'secret garden' hidden away with a fountain and pond full of water lily's and goldfish extensively planted with herbs and roses, a lovely place to sit and dream.

5* opulence, with a home from home feel....

The moment we pulled outside the electric gates, drove into the sweeping driveway, we knew that this holiday was going to deliver on every level of luxury and comfort. The property oozes grandeur. Wendy and Marcus were waiting to offer a very warm welcome and made us feel at home straight away. Chateau Dohem is decorated and finished with outstanding flair and detail. The kitchen is well stocked, with every utensil imaginable available for any self-catering group. There is plenty of space in the property, affording privacy for all. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.

The property is stunning and it is in a beautiful place

Whilst all the facilities as promised were on site we all felt that the property was short of real care and maintenance. 1. The decking area was in very poor conditions and our children suffered 5 splinters during the 2 weeks. 2. The kitchen was very poorly organised with various sets of cutlery and glasses but no consistency of type or quality. 3. The cooker door did not close properly and was dangerous when cooking. 4. The oven top use was very poor to control and use 5. The sink in the kitchen was constantly blocking due to poor drainage connections 6. Some of the items in the pantry were out of date by up to 3years and I would consider them to be unsafe. Whilst all of the above caused concern we had a wonderful holiday and it is a wonderful property, however if it is to sustain its 5 star status better organisation and maintenance needs to be provided very quickly

Top Holiday

My family and I stayed at Chateau Dohem the 4th-18th August 2018 and enjoyed one of the best holidays we have had Each year we take a large house usually in France and sometimes in the UK We are a family of eight adults (30-70 years old) and four children (7-15 years old) This year I decided to avoid a lengthy drive through France at the busiest holiday time and to stay not too far from Calais It was great. The chateau was extremely well appointed and had all the facilities we could ask for. The children (and adults) loved the large swimming pool The first week we had sunshine and so we didn’t stray far from the Pas de Calais region The second week we had some cloud and on a couple of days occasional rain but this didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves as Bruges was not too far away as was Lille. I was surprised how much there was to do in the area from boats on the Audomarois Marshes, the Blockhause and La Coupole , massive bunkers built by the Germans using forced labour for the manufacture and launch of V2 rockets and many other sights associated with the two world wars I would recommend both the chateau and the region for a family or group holiday

Amazing stay at a beautifully restored and well equipped Chateau.

Arrived at the entrance gate and were blown away by the view of the chateau which greeted us. It looks more impressive in real life than the pictures online. The chateau has been lovingly restored and every room is impressive, clean and comfortable. Wendy is a very welcoming host and the facilities offered here far exceed those we have experienced before in France. Wendy provides a welcome food pack and the kitchen is well stocked, including a pantry filled with wine, soft drinks, tins, packets etc to help prepare tasty meals. We just replaced what we used. The outdoor space is enormous, gets the sun all day long and provides ample room to relax or party and we made lots of use of the hot tub, pool and barbecue despite sometimes inclement weather. The location of the chateau is very rural with beautiful views over the countryside and farmland. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay, however, you are not far from bigger towns and good places to explore. We would recommend visiting the restaurant Auberge in the village of Fauquembergues, a 10 minute drive away. We had a fabulous long lazy lunch and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely look to return to this lovely place and would thoroughly recommend it to others. We have very happy memories of our week here.

Beautiful Chateau

Glorious Chateau sleeping 12 people comfortably. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property. Felt at home the minute we stepped in. Swimming pool, gym and pool table well used by the children in our group. Rooms beautifully decorated and kitchen well stocked with equipment. Would definitely recommend.

The perfect setting for an amazing NYE!

I stayed in this amazing chateau over New Years Eve last year (2016) with 11 friends, 2 babies and a dog! It was the most perfect setting for a fabulous weekend with something that suited everyone's needs. The sauna and hot tub were amazing, the kitchen really well equipped, a lovely dining room for meals and a really comfy sitting room for chilling out and watching films. We loved it so much we're planning on returning this year. Thanks again!

Luxury with a homely ambience

I booked the chateau for a special family celebration based on the website presentation, but I had one reservation (no pun intended!). The property looked so luxurious I was concerned that the family (3 generations with an age range of 64 to 16 months) might not be able to relax for fear of damaging some of the pristine furnishings. That concern was immediately dispelled on arrival when we were given a very warm welcome from Wendy who stressed that the property was there to be enjoyed. On exploring the property we found it had that rare combination - an air of luxury and a homely ambience. The furnishings and contents were in excellent condition but looked to have been chosen for their practicality, almost as if to ensure that guests would not be afraid to use them. Talking of the contents, it was almost as if the property was regularly used by the owners who had simply vacated the place to let us stay for a while.The generously stocked kitchen, the overflowing larder, the utility area with reserves for months, the games, the DVDs, the CDs, the library - all at our disposal. If we had known what provisions there would be on arrival we would not have worried about stopping off at a supermarket en route, and there seemed to be no expectation or obligation (apart from one's own conscience) to replace what was used. (And no delay in refunding the deposit, despite one or two breakages having been reported.) The facilities are first-class, with the pool being a great hit. The house was easily large enough to cater for 6 adults and 5 children and the general consensus of the whole family was that we could not have found a better venue for our purpose. I have no hesitation in recommending it, nor in commending Wendy for her handling of all of the arrangements.

Relaxing comfortable atmospheric venue

Arriving at the gates you are immediately impressed at the first sight of the chateau. As you are shown around the interior the experience only gets better. This is the perfect venue for a family holiday. We visited with our 4 daughters, their partners and 2 grandchildren. There is plenty of space for everyone . The kitchen facilities are first class and there are gas and charcoal barbecues for outside cooking. Wendy is a wonderful host and was extremely generous with the provisions left by her which included wine and beer. The chateau is spotless both inside and outside with heated swimming pool. Plenty of basic things like towels. Our overriding impression is hat Wendy concentrates on ensuring that her guests thoroughly enjoy their stay and get value for money. Nothing is too much trouble for her and indeed when we left a part from our hire car Wendy arranged to return it to CDG airport for us. Absolutely no complaints about this accommodation and we are looking forward to a return

The best house we have ever stayed

From booking to departure the owner was truly amazing. The Chateau is stunning starting from kitchen to bedrooms, the gym the pool, everything. The kitchen is equipped so comprehensively including separate dinner services for out door eating. The area is lovely and close to supermarkets and also towns with lovely restaurants. We would highly recommend this home, it is home from home with all the luxuries. It is safe with beautiful views and stunning sunsets. We will be returning !!

Amazing place

Where to begin! First of all the size - lots of doors leading to lots of rooms. So much space just for us! The chateau is beautifully decorated throughout with great style and attention to detail, each room having a special character of its own. The very large kitchen has everything you could wish for and we appreciated the very generous welcome pack. We ate in four different places - in the kitchen, on the sunny terrace outside the kitchen, on the terrace overlooking the pool and in the lovely dining room. Our party consisted of all ages and there was something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the pool, hot tub and games room. On our last night we had a pool tournament. A highlight was sitting in the hot tub with a glass of champagne watching the beautiful sunset. We visited Le Touquet with its lovely large sandy beach and St Omer where we spent an enjoyable afternoon in the park. Our best day out was a visit to Dennlys Theme Park. It is not too big (about 30 rides) but there is enough to satisfy all members of the family, from the little ones right up to the teenagers and braver adults! A great day out for all the family and not too expensive. However, we were always happy to get "home". So much to do and so little time - the week flew past. Thank you Wendy. We will have lovely memories of a wonderful holiday we spent in your beautiful chateau.

Amazing Place

3 families with 6 kids amongst us stayed here for a week in May. We had a fantastic time. The house is just beautiful and really well decorated, but incredibly comfortable and homely at the same time. All the facilities were great. The swimming pool was a big hit with the kids and we got a couple of days playing in the pool. The house was big enough that we never felt we were getting on top of one another. The kitchen has everything you could possible need. The pool room, gym, sauna and hot tub were also fab additions. There is also plenty to do in the surrounding area. Agincourt is great for an afternoon, but there are parks and forests nearby too, We went to Le Touquet beach twice once in the sun and once in the rain! It is less than an hour away. The kids had an amazing time at Opalaventure (St Cecile Plage - 10 mins from Le Touquet). It is a really well run Go Ape, and our children 7-5yrs were well looked after. Finally the owner Wendy cannot do enough to help you. she was there to greet us upon arrival and answered all my texts with queries really promptly! The house was beautifully clean and all the linen good quality. No lumpy beds at all - a rare find for a holiday home! An amazing place. Thank you

Exceeded our expectations

We have just returned from a week of the most relaxing holiday in the most luxurious property. Everything we could want or need was there. We were a family party of 10 and there was something for every age. The weather was terrible but we were happy not to go out too much as the house was so spacious and cosy. Thank you for a lovely week we are recommending it to all our friends.

Perfect stay

Last december we stayed with a group of friends at Chateau Dohem for New Years eve. The owner Wendy received us with a warm welcome. We where amazed about the great house. All the rooms are decorated very well to make you feel at home. Around the little village of Dohem there is not much to do but the house is warm enough to enjoy and relax with your friends. We used the poolroom, fitness and the heated jacuzzi a lot. We all had a great time and can definately recommend Chateau Dohem!!

Perfect Break!

My boyfriend & I recently stayed at Château de Dohem & we had the most amazing time. Even though it was just the two of us, the Château felt cosy and homey – Wendy’s interior style and attention to detail is incredible – every bit of the house is beautiful. We arrived just after lunchtime (very easy drive from Calais) and were met by Sue, Wendy’s housekeeper, who gave us a tour of the house & let us know where the nearest towns were. On our first night we bought dinner from a nearby supermarket (about 10 mins drive away) then came home to cook in the kitchen (the pantry is fully stocked with everything you could need). On our second day, we drove to St. Omer – a traditional, quaint town with a beautiful cathedral and plenty of little shops to look around – and in the evening went to a restaurant (recommended by Wendy) in the corner of St. Omer square called De Drie Kalders – the food was amazing and also great value! Back in the Château, there was plenty to do during the day & the evening – there's a games room, plenty of DVDs, a Jacuzzi, gym, sauna etc.! We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights – and definitely could have stayed for longer! We stayed during late November which was perfect for outside frosty walks, but we'd definitely love to come back and experience the Château during the Summer! Thank you Wendy!

Family get together

The property was exactly as described on the website and beautifully furnished throughout. In particular the kitchen was a delight, containing everything necessary to prepare and cook meals for the 9 adults in our party. The size of the property allowed each person to have their own space and privacy if they wished, while communal rooms were large and well set out. Both the jacuzzi and pool table proved very popular. The whole family has a great time. Thank you Wendy.

Stunning

I think our family agreed that this is the best place we have ever stayed in for a holiday! The chateau is simply stunning and massive, the only downside is that when we got home out house seemed far too small..!! The huge pool was brilliant, kids loved it and also loved the jacuzzi. The pool table was a great bonus and was well used by all of us. As the driver I was very happy that it's so easy to get to, a really easy route and only 40 mins from the tunnel and the beer in the fridge was a nice surprise when we arrived. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it. Thankyou Wendy!

Wonderful home

This beautiful chateau has been brilliantly restored and decorated, in French country style, with interesting touches such as black and white photos framed on the staircase and landing walls from the 1950's onwards through to modern sporting greats on the gym walls. Every amenity is thoughtfully provided, especially in the fully equipped kitchen with its well stocked fridge and larder (on an 'honesty' basis and with a complementary welcome pack on arrival). Bedrooms were very comfortable and all had good views, bathrooms were ample and spotlessly clean. We appreciated the games room with pool table and a wide collection of film dvds, and the board games which we played after dinner. The formal dining room when candlelit at night was magical. But I think we spent more time outdoors than in, eating in the courtyard outside the kitchen (including a barbecue one night - large and well equipped also) or on the decking and gardens around the pool. The pool is perfect, clean and well maintained, with lots of seating and sunbeds to chose from. As the description says, it is not fenced in, so parents with young children would need to be vigilant, but it was brilliant for the teenagers and adults in our party. Lots to do around Saint Omer which also has lots of good restaurants. We had a warm relationship with both Wendy the owner and Sue her housekeeper, and it's an easy drive from the Channel Tunnel in Calais. Can't fault it!

Chateau Heaven

Where do I begin? From the moment we arrived at the Chateau we were transported into a dream world. Everywhere we looked there was something new to delight us. The care and detail that has been taken in restoring the chateau is incredible. It is absolutely stunning from top to bottom, front to back. The bedrooms are all beautiful. We were a party of 12 and there was plenty of space to relax inside and outsite. Stunning views and gorgeous landscaped garden area. If this is not enough, you have the sauna, pool, gym and jacuzzi. Wendy was lovely and had thought of everything for our stay. A chilled bottle of wine awaited us on arrival. A full pantry, fridge, herbs in the garden. You really wont want to leave. We didn't - and we shall be back as soon as we can!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Clark

Host profile image

My name is Wendy Clark and I am married to Marcus who is a Heritage specialist building restorer. I have a passion for doing up old properties and interior design, so the Chateau was a perfect project for us, and I am now satisfied it has been restored to its former glory. I think you will agree that is truly lovely throughout

The Chateau in Northern France we bought as a renovation project in December 2010 and it has now been restored throughout to a very high standard both inside and out. You will find comfortable sofas and beds, a very well equipped kitchen (we love cooking) and well tended gardens (another passion of mine).

We like our guests to have a real home from home experience, you will feel comfortable from the moment you arrive, and you will find everything you need on hand to have a fabulous and memorable stay.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to buy a property in France that was not too far from the Eurotunnel or Ferry, so that we could have lovely weekends with family and friends. The Chateau is just 40 minutes drive from both terminals at Calais, so it makes it easy to travel to and from the UK.

We fell in love with Chateau de Dohem at first sight. It looks like a romantic fairytale castle and the views from the rear garden are just breathtaking, rolling countryside as far as the eye can see. We were sold on the property before we even set foot inside the gates.

Set in a quiet location behind a high wall, you can feel yourself unwind and relax.

We took three years renovating the property and it is now truly beautiful both inside and out. It is a place to relax and enjoy with friends and family. We hope that you will enjoy staying here just as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The house transports you to a time gone by. You feel it is a special place as soon as you catch sight of it. So pretty it looks like a magical fairy castle.

The property has all modern conveniences and everything you need for your holiday has been thought about.

There are plenty of eating out areas and wicker style furniture in abundance.

There is a full size outdoor swimming pool and hot tub set into the large multi level decked area. In a converted barn building just a few steps across the courtyard, there is an additional King size bedroom that has access to a shower and toilet, pamper parlour for treatments, sauna room.

In the Courtyard we have created a covered bar area (Marcus's favourite hiding place) beer blades are available for you to buy. We have also spent 18 months converting an old barn in the Courtyard, and this is now a Wedding Chapel, which can be used for dining or dancing during your stay. There is a fabulous sound system in the Chapel, outside in the Courtyard and on the back decked terrace there are music speakers, so you can have music wherever you go.

The games room has a pool table which has seen many a fierce pool challenge, there is a Smart TV with , Netflix, Amazon Prime and FreeSat box with 183 English channels. For rainy days there is a cupboard full of board games, DVD's and CD's and plenty of books and magazines

We have a full size cot available, two high chairs and two stair gates. There are also two inflatable mattresses.
