The chateau is situated in a very quiet and secluded location and is surrounded by 1.5 Hectares of sweeping landscaped parkland and orchards that lead onto the main courtyard. A walled lawn garden is also accessible from the Kitchen and is a perfect place for outside lunch/dinner with a stunning view on the marsh. The garden also serves as a place to play badminton and croquet.

The main courtyard is laid with cobblestones and leads to a 13th century Chapel (which is not yet renovated). Last year it was home to a nest of owls - just one of the species of birds to be found in the grounds. Within the garden are several fruit trees including apple, pear and plum which will ensure good pickings for those taking autumn breaks at the chateau. No doubt holiday makers will need to compete with the rich local bird life for the fruit. The garden also contains a mill pond fed by a stream from the River l’Elle and two wells (which are both secured).

The River l’Elle borders the grounds of the property and during winter produces fantastic views over the flooded marsh. The river supports a wealth of fish, not only coarse fish but also salmon and trout. People wishing to fish can use the rods and tackle from the chateau but will need to buy licences from the local shops. (These require a passport photograph)

The grounds of the chateau have a rich population of birds - not just garden birds but storks, herons, grouse, pheasants, hawks, buzzards and other raptors. Much of this wildlife can be seen during a walk around the grounds. Benches around the grounds allow a rest from walking and an opportunity, if one is quiet enough, to see these species close to hand.
