Liked: Local patisserie and bar/restaurant. Staff were friendly.
Disliked: On site restaurant didn’t allow bookings and was difficult to get a table. When we finally did, we only received half our meals before giving up and paying the bill. Absolutely no privacy in showers/WC area. We’re reasonably clean, but nothing special. Pitch was located too far from reception and entrance. Swimming facilities were enjoyed by the kids.

Liked: Cleanliness of site and toilet/wash rooms, nice pools. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Disliked: Grass pitch surface was flat but had quite a number of holes so getting a table or chair to sit without rocking difficult. No wi-fi available on pitch, they were having issues we were advised. Told it would be fixed by Tuesday (mid-holidy) but no functioning service became available,.

Liked: The location is great, easy to travel to and in the grounds of a beautiful chateau.
Disliked: As we were on a tent pitch we needed to use the shower and toilet facilities. These are probably the worst we have seen and we have stayed on many sites with several companies. The blocks are old, infested with termites, flies in all cubicles, missing or empty soap dispensers.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Large pitches with water and electricity, there are hedges and trees separating each pitch. There are premium pitches with a wooden terrace and bbq which you pay extra for; we had a standard pitch which was large enough. Staff very helpful and friendly. The toilets and showers were very clean. There is a lovely pool with slides and the château buildings have a restaurant, bar gym and sauna etc. There is also a large outdoor pool which was closed when we visited in early June. A huge adventure park for adults and children is next to the campsite which looked a lot of fun. There seemed plenty to keep children entertained and happy. The site is 5 minute walk from the town unfortunately the restaurant there was closed until mid June . Supermarket is about 10 minutes away by car.
Disliked: The fact it is basically a holiday camp was not for us, we prefer a different type of holiday now our children have flown the nest. The site was noisy during the day, but mainly children having fun which was not an issue at all. Be aware that the Chateau hosts occasional weddings ( which was lovely to see) but the music stopped at 2am. There was also a conference on a different day and some the attendees partied very late. The campers were all quiet by 10.30 it was only the functions that were very loud. The Wi-Fi is free for 3 hours at the cafe or you can pay extra, we found the Wi-Fi at the cafe very slow. No waste water disposal for the camper vans.
