Our friends 
We love an opportunity to tell everyone about the people we have met since moving here in 2003. From those that helped us set up the business to those that we work alongside now.  
Local businesses and activities 
There are a number of local businesses that we are constantly recommending to our guests.  
 
Quad-biking, buggies and paintball 
One of the favorite activites in the area. Francis and his team will look after you and ensure you have a great time. 
 
Tree climbing and paintball 
Another great place for some adventurous activites. 
Photographers 
There are a number of photographer who have helped us to capture the best of the château over the past few years. We would highly recommend them. These are their websites: 
 
For interiors - www.paulraeside.com 
 
For still life and interiors - www.johnross.co.uk 
 
For portraits and interiors - www.emilybowling.com 
 
Wedding photographers 
We are always being asked to recommend wedding photographers too. 
 
Matthew Weinreb lives locally and has shot many weddings here, he knows the chateau inside out and many of his photographs are featured on this website.  
 
Steve Edwards is based in the UK but came to take pictures at a wedding here in 2010. He has kindly allowed us to use some of his pictures on our website.
