Last minute booking
We had booked a boat on the Thames for my 50th birthday for bank holiday weekend.. two days before we were due to leave it was cancelled due to the rivers being on red alert. Having spent months planning it we didn’t know what to do instead. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Le Chateaux was available. Communication was great, checkin was easy as we were met and handed keys. The house was clean, tidy and welcoming with local wine left for us. We had the most relaxing stay and really enjoyed our weekend away. It is a stunning property with fabulous views!

Friends reunion
Fantastic spacious place which had all we needed. The fireplace in the living room was great for a cosy evening on the huge sofas. We enjoyed the dining room with a beautiful table and serviettes and table mats for a sophisticated dinner. Kitchen had plenty cutlery, crockery, glasses, and dishes and cooking utensils. Just a tea pot was missing for us. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Just a few glasses and cups that needed a rinse. The kettle looked not right at the bottom so we didn’t use it. But really only a minor point. A folder with lots of useful information and a welcome letter with a nice bottle of wine welcomed us. Herb garden was at our disposal. The house is very spacious. The weather didn’t allow us to use the outdoor space for breakfast which was a real shame. We had a fantastic time!

A beautiful chateau in an amazing location
We all enjoyed this chateau, far reaching views of beautiful countryside. The location was perfect for getting to different areas of Kent. The only thing we missed was wardrobe space in the yellow bedroom, and drawers in the turret room. Toilet brushes need changing hence the 4/5 rating for cleanliness.
