About this property

Chateau Chiens is a Multiple Pet Friendly Cottage in mid-West France

Chateau Chiens is a holiday cottage in mid-West France, designed for families who want to take their doggy family members on holiday with them. It has what you'd expect for a great family holiday, but with the added benefits for your dogs.

The property consists of 2 double bedrooms one with en-suite, 1 twin bedroom, double sofa bed available in the spacious lounge,
2 bathrooms (1 downstairs) and 1 shower room, dining room, kitchen and dedicated dog room.

There is also free Wifi so you can keep in touch with the world, and loads of English TV channels.

We chose Chateau Garnier for our holiday cottage for a number of reasons:

- you can get there in one day, so you don't need somewhere to stay overnight on the way,
- it has a unique micro-climate that makes it the second sunniest part of France, second only to the Riviera,
- it is in a relaxed and beautiful part of France,
- a rural area, providing loads of lovely dog walks, together with things to do and see, for the rest of the family.

A few of the features that make it ideal for doggy holidays are: Five foot high fencing around the whole acre plot, a large air-conditioned, fully tiled dog room with a purpose-built dog shower (for those muddier walks).

Dogs are welcome in the whole house, we just ask you to keep them in the dog room if you want to go out and about without them.

The local vet in Château-Garnier village, is less than 5 minutes drive. It is open weekdays and Saturday mornings and they also provide an out of hours service. The vets all speak some English, and they can do your passport checks and worming treatments between 5 days and 24 hours before your return journey.

We accept an unlimited number of dogs (within reason), regardless of age, breed or size.

vacances
Vacances en famille et avec des amis et nos chiens. Endroit superbe au calme de la campagne. Maison très agréable et on s'y sent très bien. Les chiens étaient au paradis et nous aussi. Nous avons voyagé un peu partout La Rochelle, les marais poitevins, Cognac, l'Ile de Ré, Poitiers, Parthenay. Les petits enfants qui sont venus nous retrouver on apprécié l'endroit aussi et les jeux. A recommander.

Maison confortable et 100% dogfriendly
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est très confortable, très bien équipée. Tout a été pensé pour que les vacanciers ne manquent de rien. Le jardin est grand, sans aucun vis à vis et idéal avec un chien. La maison est 100% dogfriendly, il y a même une pièce pour eux avec une baignoire ! La région peu connue est belle. Nous avons fait de magnifiques promenades pédestres avec des paysages variés accompagnés de notre toutou. A recommander !

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Sheridan

Host profile image
We run a canine hydrotherapy pool in Southampton and wanted to be able to go on foreign holidays with our dogs. As we had 5, the only way we could do it was to buy a cottage in France, which we would then rent out to other people who also want to holiday with their dogs.

Why they chose this property

As the cottage is set on an acre in a rural area, it is ideal for us and our dogs. And most importantly, you can drive there in one day, so no problems trying to find an overnight stay that will take you and your dogs.

And this area of France is known for having it's own micro-climate, making it the second sunniest area of France (after the Riviera).

And although it is in a rural area there are still lots of places to visit or for days out, so you can have as relaxed or busy holiday as suits you.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many cottage owners, we are happy for you to take your dogs - all of them! No restrictions on size, breed, number, etc. In return, we just ask you to respect our property & look after it as you would your own. We aim to provide you a home from home, where you can relax & have a lovely time.
