Notes on accommodation
We have a lovely cook whose services are included in the peak season rental. We strongly recommend her for all other weeks. She is exceptionally good and the service is excellent value for a really relaxing carefree holiday. On arrival the rooms will be ready with beds made up, clean towels and fresh flowers according to season.

Outside
This charming manor house and park nestles on the edge of the quiet village of Cry-sur-Armancon.
The heated pool is set in a sun trap on the terrace close to the house. It is all now enclosed, to protect small children, with a clematis covered fence. There is a hot shower and changing space by the pool and a large open covered area with a fridge and barbecue where you can sit and eat. There are plenty of deck chairs, sun-beds and teak garden furniture.
It really is a paradise for both adults and children.

Special interest holidays
La Maison du Chateau has proved to be a perfect venue for painting holidays. Our aim is to give you a wonderful painting holiday with excellent tuition in this enchanting manor house set in its own idyllic park.
Wine Week (to be confirmed): Our resident tutor and guide for the week is a Master of Wine with a special knowledge of the wines and growers of Burgundy. The theme of the week will be small, intimate visits to some of the very best producers of both well known and less familiar wines.

Guest comments
Once again our friends, boys and we had a very relaxing week. The children adored wandering in the grounds and everyone - naturally - adored Delphine's marvellous cooking." Van Steenis March 08

"The house and grounds are beautiful and the accommodation seemed specially made for our large family with the gatehouse and barn to spread ourselves in. What made the whole stay even more memorable was the excellent organisation by Delphine and the two maids.Delphine is a superb cook!" Foster Dec 07
