The French House was the perfect retreat for our family reunion. Enough room for everyone to have their own bedroom - each with an ensuite, plus several spacious living areas in which to relax and reconnect. The house is very romantic - reminiscent of Provence, and the gardens are stately and serene. Toby was an attentive and non-intrusive host and very friendly and hospitable. St Helens is close by, as are many stunningly beautiful beaches, vineyards and mountain bike trails. Thanks for hosting us Toby - we have wonderful memories of your gorgeous chateau.
