    We stayed in the tree house which is truly amazing, It has all the facilities that you could possibly need and more and is so comfortable. We have had the most relaxing break in the forest location which gave us the feeling that we were so close...

    Great location and the cabins are well equipped and a good size. The beds are very comfortable and it's a lovely and quiet location. The swimming pool was fantastic and clean. The terrace is nice and safe for pets.

A holiday in the woods to enjoy nature? A haven of peace as a base for discovering the Dordogne? Living in a chalet or safari tent in the forest for a few days? Our special rentals await you in the heart of the Dordogne and at the foot of the famous Château Biron, for a more than relaxing stay. Practical information: Our rates are based on 4 people. Bed linen is provided as well as household linen (towels, bath mat and cleaning kit). The supply of bath linen (towels) is optional. End of stay cleaning is the responsibility of the customer but it is possible to take the end of stay cleaning option.
Passionate about travel and nature, we like to practice outdoor activities such as hiking. So we discover our magnificent French heritage, meet walkers passionate about nature and taste with pleasure the local cuisine. At every opportunity, during our first life, we escaped from our Parisian suburbs to reconnect with simple things. For several years now, we have been thinking about converting to outdoor hospitality to be able to welcome and share our passion with as many people as possible and allow everyone to recharge their batteries in the middle of nature. The Castelwood estate, a haven of peace nestled in lush greenery, seemed to us to be the right place to live our project and start our second life. We have therefore decided to leave our respective jobs as School Director and IT Manager to embark on this incredible adventure. We will therefore have a great pleasure to welcome you on this magnificent site in the middle of the forest. Stéphanie & Jean-François
