Castle vacation rentals in English Channel

We had a wonderful stay in this rustic farm with 6 adults and 2 children. Perfect for relaxing in the greenery. Also a very good base for day trips to the coast. We have enjoyed it!

Ideal stay for two families with children able to share bunk beds. No wifi, but we are not at Beaumesnil castle to spend your time on the web. The real interest of this cottage that remains expensive is the access to the castle park which is most of the time closed: a door to the cottage overlooks the interior of the castle, with an access in a huge garden full of farm animals, a paradise for kids, peacocking, geese, sheep, ducks, ducks, goats, pony. We were even able to visit the Chateau de Beaumesnil for free, the drawbridge was down. The heater works perfectly. Only Repproche: a corkscrew was missing… and that… would almost deserve a star less haha. Dear, but EXCELLENT VALUE for MONEY for families with children between 5-12 years old, especially to discover the countryside. Very proactive, nice hosts, hosting the castle in support. Super flexible check-in and checkout. (we left around 5pm) Congrats!!!

The cottage is part of the castle. The site is beautiful, very quiet with a huge park. Great for a large family.

Perfect weekend with friends at the Miserai. The Chateau is very pleasant despite the weekend temperatures (-8 per night!). The hunting room was perfect for hosting the anniversary of the weekend! Celine recommended a good catering address to us and it was very convenient. The brewery on the estate is not to be missed.

Staying in Stephanie and her family’s Chateau de Tocqueville was absolutely a five star experience to us. We spent three night here in the castle but found it’s absolutely not enough to experience the property. We could utilize four floors with five stylish bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen and salon on the ground floor plus the pond, tennis court, biking area…and more. It’s a perfect place to spend a few days or weeks. We spent a few hours to read Alexi de Tocqueville’s books (but only finished one fifth of the book) in the place where he wrote the book, the feeling was so special and we felt like becoming the witness to the history.

Due to the fantastic photos on Airbnb our expectations were already high, but reality by far exceeded all our expectations. We really spent a perfect week in the wonderful Garden Apartment in Acton Castle. Maybe the most impressive is the incredible view over the bay of Penzance with the spectacular St. Michael's Mount as its central point. You can enjoy this fantastic view from the living room, from the breakfast table or even when doing the dishes in the kitchen. Another highlight is the garden which is really beautiful with a nice pond, wonderful plants and flowers and many great places to sit and enjoy the view. Also the 18th century Acton Castle is a very beautiful and really impressive building. The apartment is ideal for a family like ours with 2 children. The main sleeping room has its own bathroom with toilet and shower. The main bathroom has a bathing tub with shower and another toilet. The appartment has two floors. Sleeping rooms and bathrooms are in the basement, while living room and kitchen are in the first floor with its incredible view. The appartment offers a lot of space for a family of four and we weren't missing anything. You reach the costal path within two minutes from the garden. We did a very nice walk to St. Michael's Mount. Acton Castle is also a good starting point for many activities in the area. You can easily reach Penzance, St. Ives, the Lizard Peninsula and many, many more great places by car. There are several big supermarkets in the direction towards Penzance which you can reach within 10 minutes by car. Garden Apartment in Acton Castle is a really perfect place to spend a perfect holiday and we definitely give a 5 star recommendation. Thanks to Tim for giving us the possibility to enjoy this great place and the area around it.

Our stay at Chateau Le Mont Epinguet surpassed all of our expectations-- it's truly beautiful and Fiona and Mark are beyond friendly. We went as a group of 18 and still found the house incredibly spacious-- you'll never be on top of one another! The gardens outside are lovely and provide lots of spots for sunbathing/reading (and so spacious we even got in a game of rounders). The kitchen has as much crockery as you might ever desire; there are several excellent and large supermarkets within a 15 minute drive (better quality produce and more economical than any British supermarket). Above all-- I cannot express the warmth and kindness of Mark and Fiona-- they're exceptional hosts who attended to any queries we had and provided a wealth of excellent beach & restaurant recommendations. A beautiful chateau, a wonderful (eccentric) interior, with lovely gardens (esp. the palm trees), and great for friends who wish to spend some time stuck together.

The chateau was everything we thought it would be from the moment we drove through the gate. The serene setting was welcoming and inviting. The gardens and landscaping were lush and picturesque. Upon entering the front door, we felt like we’d been transported to the 16th century. Wood floors, flowing draperies and richly colored walls all add to the general ambiance. There are numerous bedrooms from which to choose, playrooms for children, spacious living and dining rooms and a kitchen meant for gathering. The kitchen is well stocked and the fireplace warms the rooms and its inhabitants. The two outdoor tables provide opportunities to enjoy the setting while sipping wine or eating a meal, Marc was very accommodating. He offered suggestion for things to do and places to shop in Sartilly.

Excellent stay certainly only one night but an extremely responsive host. The listing was as described. We forgot a suitcase and products in the fridge forcing us to come back 2 times to our host who, each time, was lovely. We would highly recommend this very large apartment for large tribes!! Hugues

The house is very attractive, with modern, tasteful furnishings, a well appointed kitchen and utility and a pretty garden. The staircase is quite steep, but our three year old toddler managed it safely. Although the house is on the High Street, there is minimal traffic noise. The garden is sunny and full of comfy garden furniture. It is enclosed, so safe for dogs and children. Nothing to find fault with apart from the directions offered at the start. It is in fact opposite the pub - Kings Arms. Not opposite a post office, which does not exist !

Had a wonderful weekend at Northcourt house. Beautiful property with everything we needed. Clean rooms and a well equipped kitchen. Perfect when you travel and cook for a larger group of people. Peaceful surroundings and James is a helpful and friendly host.

The property was absolutly wonderful, the photos don’t do it justice! I particularly appreciated the garden with its beautiful array of trees and patches of forest. The estate was so vast I dont think we made it to the edge. The house was extremly private and out of sight of any neighbours. The house itself was spacious and comfortable, so were the beds. I was working online and the internet connection was good, even with multiple connections, with a very nice dedicated workspace. The kitchen had every appliance imaginable, with enough crockery for a banquet! While I was there the trees were ripe with fruit and we were treated to pears, apples, rasberries, blackberries, stawberries, grapes and more. The chickens generously provided us with fresh eggs every morning and the peacocks were not only beautiful to watch but also friendly. Not to talk about the wild forna including squirels, pheasents, woodpekers and other small birds… It was a pleasure meeting Philippe who not was an excellent host; showing us around the property and being helpful with our questions, but also an excellent cook, perparing traditional french food for us per our request. He was fun to be around. Overall a great experience, we are already planning when we can visit again!

“Firstly, Xavier was the consummate host - communicative, helpful, and friendly. When two of our guests weren’t feeling well, he was especially attentive and considerate, offering assistance with great care. The property and our stay were wonderful. The castle is just as described, if not better - it feels both cozy and expansive at the same time. It is warm and welcoming, and the surrounding village is charming. Plus, there are plenty of unique sites and places to explore within a 15–20 minute drive. For a relaxing and special experience, Xavier’s place was perfect.”

Was lovely to stay here for a week. Everything is well arranged, and good reception. Enjoyed our stay at this location. Furthermore, the supermarket and other things are easy to drive to, so plenty to do in the area.

We had a wonderful time in the castle

Clean, quiet and complete Airbnb, thank you.

Marie-Claude did everything to be pleasant to us, installing an extra camp bed in a room because we came with 3 children and they didn't want to be separated. She was very kind.

We stayed at the place in Quimperle for a little over a week. The place is very nice, great corners, delicious restaurants and a great playground on the river. From there you could easily make excursions to other cities and beaches. Above all, we enjoyed the coastal hikes as a family.

A very well-equipped studio in a beautiful setting, welcoming and responsive hosts, all located on the edge of the beautiful port of Audierne, what a positive! I would highly recommend it.

What a wonderful and underrated spot. Firstly, Wilfrid was an amazing host. Always available, very attentive, and Gallic hospitality at its best. He was extremely flexible in all aspects (from check-in, use of spa, and time to eat breakfast). We mistakenly slept in one morning and we were able to eat a proper breakfast at 1130. Extremely clean and a serene environment. A very immersive Normandy experience. The house is very old but fully renovated as it is a passion project for Wilfrid who has spent generations in the house.

🌟 5/5 - A perfect weekend in an exceptional place! We had an absolutely great weekend at this beautiful Airbnb. The accommodation is spacious, very well decorated and perfectly equipped. The pool was a real treat, especially with the beautiful weather we had, and the barbecue area contributed greatly to the friendly atmosphere of our stay. Small downside: the road to access the accommodation was not easy to find at first, and a light bulb and a showerhead were no longer working when we arrived. Fortunately, the concierge was very responsive, available and super flexible — everything was resolved quickly! The cleanliness was good, and communication with the hosts was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. A big thank you again for this beautiful break. We'll be happy to go back!
