Verdict:

Oh wow! A four star park set in the grounds of the owners’ 19th century château in 100 hectares of parkland, just 14 km from the coast. The English speaking owners are a young couple with children and the site is suitable for families, but is quiet and peaceful in low season. We arrived on the day it opened and it had a lovely ambience and we received a warm welcome. Pitches are a good size and are all on grass with six amp electricity, water and drainage to all of them.

Facilities include swimming pools, tennis, boules, bar, restaurant, and a takeaway. 

The village is within easy walking distance and has a mini supermarket, baker, pharmacy and other useful services.

A motorhome service point was due to be built.
