What to expect
Wedding guests of Chateau Fengari
This is a rustic gite that makes the most perfect haven for escaping from life with family or friends. For those that enjoy a simple life, you’ll love watching the deer from the terrace, long walks and bike rides, clear skies for stargazing and fabulous food and wine from local markets. The pool, pond and boundaries are not fenced so please bear that in mind if travelling with children, toddlers or dogs.
It’s a holiday home, not a hotel, so you’ll find all you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay and indoor/outdoor living. It works well for all generations and has a washing machine, fully equipped kitchen, lounge, dining room.
Older guests will appreciate step free access of our ground floor double bedroom, which has thick stone walls and double patio doors opening onto the garden, keeping it cool in the summer.
Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms, plus a toddler bed, travel cot and bunk beds, giving lots of flexibility.
We’ve been welcoming guests for weddings at Chateau Fengari since the wedding venue first opened. We’re on the edge of the same village, just a short walk away.
Clerac is a remote and rural village without any taxis in the area. There is very limited guest accommodation (other than Chateau Fengari itself) in Clerac or nearby towns and villages, so we encourage early booking to avoid disappointment, especially if you are looking for accommodation with a pool and garden.
We have previously only accepted bookings from family groups. However, if you are a responsible group who are looking for a home-from-home to share quiet quality time with each other before and after the wedding, we’d be pleased to welcome you.
It’s not the right choice if you are planning to have a pool or jacuzzi party, play loud music or leave without tidying up, so please only book if you are comfortable that everyone with you will respect our family-friendly ethos at all times. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 4pm, and check-out is before 10am, to allow time for cleaning and pool maintenance. Please book an additional night if you need to stay later or arrive earlier. We’ll send you a code for the gate and the key box for complete flexibility on your arrival time.
What is the minimum stay?
Our prices are based on guests staying for a minimum of 3 nights. If you are only staying the night before and after the wedding, the extra night will give you the flexibility to either check in before 4pm on your arrival day or leave after 10am.
Is linen included?
The rental cost includes all bed linen and a towel for showering. If you’d like additional towels for the pool, lake or beach please bring them with you.
Is cleaning included?
The cost of cleaning, washing linen and making beds is all included within your booking, but the expectation is that the house is left as you found it. Cleaners will charge a surcharge if they are expected to tidy up after guests, so please ensure bins are empty, washing up is put away and furniture is tidy.
Is smoking allowed?
We don’t allow smoking anywhere in the house, and ask that smokers dispose of cigarette butts in the firepit or bin.
Is there WiFi?
There is excellent WiFi in the house and good phone signal throughout the area.
Can we use the BBQ and Firepit?
There is a rustic built-in BBQ which you are welcome to use. Please let us know if you would like to use the firepit as there are occasionally local restrictions in place to reduce the risk of forest fire in the region.

The house, pool and jacuzzi is exclusively for the use of guests who have booked to stay in the house overnight.
