Château de Bouelles 

Our entire family of 14 stayed at Chateau de Bouelles at the end of July for my mother's 80th birthday. Ages ranged from 5 to 80. We had the best time and the setting was absolutely perfect for a special occasion and for a large family gathering. The house had the perfect level of grandeur without being too smart so we felt we could relax rather than worry about breaking anything. We felt we were in the middle of nowhere so could leave doors unlocked and children could be loud and unsupervised but we were also 5 mins from shops so it was very convenient. There was so much to keep everyone occupied without leaving the property - the pool, tennis court, billiards, table tennis, lawns for croquet and badminton, a gym, beautiful grounds to explore. It was fabulous! The accommodation was very spacious with 10 double bedrooms all en-suite across 2 spacious floors. We loved the high ceilings and chandeliers. The views were just breathtaking. We were very well looked after by Capucine and Serin who answered all our questions very quickly and who were on hand if needed (but everything was perfect and we didn't need them at all). The house was clean and the beds very comfortable. All in all - the perfect getaway for our family to celebrate.
