I adore Sheila and Stuart not only for the warm welcome they offer everybody upon arrival but also for their high standards and seemingly boundless energy. The adult only campsite is wonderful. It is set around an old chateau that offers a bar and restaurant and both internal and external seating areas. The view from the bar terrace overlooks the swimming pool and tennis court in the distance. In the grounds the emplacements for tents, caravans, and motorhomes offer a range of sizes to suit all needs; with the majority having water and drainage facilities on tap. We have never felt, even in the height of the season, that we were cramped or too close to our neighbours - unless we wanted to be that is, as each plot is large enough for a small gathering of new and old friends. The toilet/shower facilities are for all, with only the separate toilet block being separated between male and females. Which isn't a problem as they are all secure and there are even a couple of 'larger' shower rooms should you need help when showering. The facilities are always clean, but this is due, for the most part, to the care and attention all users give to the facilities; treating them like they are their own which is such a good thing. The pool area has a range of shady and full sun spots and while the pool water isn't heated it is warmed by the abundance of sunshine in the area. In fact, I don't recall it raining during the day any time I have visited the Chateau. You need to remember to: - Select and book your evening meal in advance, and if it isn't quite ready when you arrive (and it is often ready withing a very short while of arriving), the well-stocked bar will keep you watered or wined while you wait. Sheila is a great chef by the way, but she needs to know in advance what to buy for that evening's meals - Remember to order bread, croissants, milk, etc., for the next day before around 4pm. I ordered for the next day as I collected the previous day. Everything is cooked fresh each morning by Stuart. - If you are attending the BBQ evening, be sure to book this well in advance. They often have a band playing for the evening and the whole team participate in cooking and serving at the BBQ, even guests with idle hands and healthy curiosity... Besides camping the site offers a range of gites, holiday homes, and cabins, so there is something for everybody at the Chateau. If you are lucky enough to visit during August you will also get to see the Perseid Meteor Shower. The area is in the 'dark triangle' so remember a blanket, a chair, your binoculars/phone, and a bottle of wine and selection of cheese to sit and watch the sun go down and the meteor firework show begin. You will be in for a real treat! Therefore, as you can imagine, I highly recommend this site for your next adult only camping holiday. Don't be afraid to make friends or visit all the wonderful places in the surrounding area, or just sit by the pool and have a lazy day with the od
