Castle Neuvillette World War I

The property is a chateau, in other words a castle, built in the early 18th century. Over the last decade it has been completely renovated; most recent renovation in the summer of 2017: new carpet in the bedrooms and the hallways on 1st and 2nd floor. The chateau is very comfortable and has 7 bedrooms and 3 bath rooms and accomodates 12 people. There is a cosy kitchen with a French Lacanche oven, a living room and a dining room. There is a large fire place in the living room and wooden pannelings in most rooms. A garage has room for 2 cars and there is a newly built summer kitchen with a large BBQ fire place. There is a small house next to the chateau, which accomodates 4 people and can be rented separately. The walls of this house have inscriptions from WW I and WW II, both from Allied Forces and Germans. The area is quite and rural. You need a car to get around. There are a number of chateaux in the area to visit. Our property is half an hour from Amiens by car. Amiens is famous for its cathedral and interesting museums. From Amiens it takes 60 minutes by train to get to Paris, Gare Du Nord, so day trips to Paris are easy to make. About 10 minutes drive (by car) from the chateau there is the lovely village of Doullens with several supermarkets, boucheries, boulangeries and a few restaurants. Within half an hour drive you will find the battle fields of World War I, with several interesting museums and memorials. They are really worth a visit. Many British, Americans, Canadians and Australians come to visit the graves of their ancestors who lost their lives during WW I. The house is the place to stay for ANZAC week. The La Manche beaches are 1 hour and 15 minutes by car. The house is ideal for a vacation. And it is often used by people who invite their European friends to come over and spend some time together. All the rooms are accesible. The chateau is for the exclusive use of the guests. Please note that the beds will not be made upon your arrival. The reason is that not all beds are used every time. We do not want to wash linen that is not used (we cannot always see which beds have been used). In addition, we want to make sure that all guests enjoy fresh linen. In every room you should find linen for the beds but you can always check the cupboard in the bathroom (on the 1st floor) for additional sets of linen. The Chateau is located in a rural area and it is an old building. Occasionally you may find an insect inside the house. The house is cleaned after each group and we try to keep it as clean as possible but we cannot keep the property 'absolutely dust free'.
