Welcome to Chateau d'Oche... * COVID -19 UPDATE * Chateau d'Oche is taking bookings and further to the lifting of lockdown restrictions on 15th December is open to welcome guests. The health and safety of our guests and team is our priority. We have been implementing additional hygiene measures at the Chateau and request that our team and guests follow Government advice whilst on site. As they say, your home is your castle... and so it is ! Make yourself at home in the South wing of Chateau d'Oche, located just 45 minutes from Limoges International Airport in the lush and stunning Perigord Vert, land of truffles and foie gras in South West France. Originally the home of barons (with our own coat of arms) the castle was built on an ancient base from the 1400s. The estate was then transformed by a quirky 1800s French Artisan, Master Louis Bourdery, renown for his religious art (he has streets named after him for it) and penchant for all things English. He and his eclectic heirs, such as his ghostly white daughter Blanche, left their workshop, two chapels, and an indelible footprint on the property - transforming it from a hunting lodge to a towering gothic tribute that stands in superb condition to this day. The chateau was more recently a summer resort for French Ministers' families before being sold as a 13-hectare private estate. Newly available, the South wing Gite with its' impressive features is all yours - * 2 Smaller feature 'Tower Bedrooms' - ideal for one adult or two children * Up to 3 large Family Bedrooms depending on group size, each with outdoor access * Up to 3 large, spacious Bathrooms - one with Jacuzzi, one Wet-Room * Seperate Toilet * Upper Lounge, Multimedia Television, Balcony, Pool Table * Lounge - Dining Room with outdoor access and feature fireplace, seats 12 * Fully equipped Kitchen with access to outdoor dining area * Outdoor dining area with BBQ, Lounge seating and Pool views * Equipped Utility Room. * Additional 96m 2 'Event Room' Subject to availability for Events or Celebrations Level access is provided to all rooms on the ground floor. As well as the impressive 'Tower Bedrooms' the property has original fireplaces, South and North facing walk on balconies, a mezanine on the upper, a spiral staircase linking the two floors all which make the property ideal if you enjoy unique architecture and features. Four ground floor doors provide access to the courtyard and gardens - indeed you will also have the 13 hectare estate to enjoy along with the large Pool and its' Decking and comfortable furniture to help you relax.

Please note : A relative of the owner lives on the estate, and has pets. These are kept in a seperate, enclosed garden on the estate. The Gite has a stone spiral staircase for which care should be taken if children are present. We do not take a cleaning fee, however we ask that the Chateau is left in a clean and tidy state on departure as well as bins being taken off site. We reserve the right to levy a charge using the deposit. We will be flattered that you may request us to hold your dates before a deposit is organised and would like to help. However, we are unable to do this, as some of our booking platforms automatically accept paid booking requests and block all dates for which a deposit has been paid, including any overlapping dates for enquiries with unpaid deposits.
