Celebrations at Château du Rayet

Are you looking for the perfect destination for a family celebration? Many of our guests have booked the Château in order to host an important birthday or anniversary.  It’s a wonderful way to mark a milestone event.  The house is big enough to comfortably sleep 14 people with plenty of space for people to congregate all together or find spaces away from the crowd. The Château has hosted family celebrations at all times of year.  The house is cool in summer and warm and cosy in winter (with underfloor heating, log fires and the Aga).  The thick stone walls keep the climate constant.

The Château has been renovated to a very high standard throughout.   All of your guests will have their own private sanctuary with comfortable big beds, White Company bed linen and a luxury ensuite bathroom.

There is plenty for everyone to do - with board games to be played together across the generations, family ping pong tournaments in the Play Barn, splashing in the pool, group work outs in the gym (or having a bit of time out) and/or exploring the beautiful countryside and local attractions.   Magical memories full of laughter and togetherness will be created and last a lifetime.  We can provide everything you need for younger members of the party - with cots, high chairs and baby toiletries provided on request. 

For the celebratory event itself, outside dining in the courtyard is a wonderful option.  Alternatively the dining room offers a sense of grandeur and occasion. Weather permitting the choice is yours.  We can help you source local foods, wines and cake.  We also have private chefs who can host your event.  You can choose fine dining and/or informal barbecues and/or family brunches and/or picnics by the pool.

We can also offer extra cleaning services to make sure you don’t have to lift a finger.  

Château du Rayet offers you the space and privacy to celebrate your family’s special occasion in the most memorable of settings.

I love this cute twin room which can be made up as a twin or a double. With its own en-suite with beautiful Morrocon handmade Zellige tiles, wooden beams and beautiful old stone walls, it's the perfect place to curl up with a book and relax.
We love going for walks in the grounds of the Château and exploring the surrounding forests - enjoyable in every season. Lots of exciting wildlife scents for Bernie the dog to follow.
This beautiful, light filled space started off as an unloved bathroom. Check out @stellar.andco ‘s post which shows how we stripped the bathroom out and replaced it with a light filled stairwell with beautiful bespoke stairs built by a local ar
