Chateau Le Temple has beautiful gardens and the actual chateau its self is in very good condition. Site Manager Laura has been extremely helpful and is very proud of the chateau and gardens which she works tirelessly to keep in top condition.

Simple, straight forward booking process with Olivers Travels. We stayed at Château le Temple and it was spectacular. The property and grounds were beautiful, peaceful. The facilities for the kids were brilliant, the best we've come across as a large family - huge games room with massive TV, xbox, pool table, table tennis, air hockey, foosball. Trampoline, giant garden chess, connect 4 AND bikes!.. Not to mention the swimming pool too!! You absolutely need a car though to explore the beautiful towns and villages within an hours drive away. There's not much close by to the property itself, although we did dine at La Commanderie which was really nice - a short drive or 20 ish minute walk. Also we absolutely want to acknowledge the outstanding service provided by the property Managers, Laura and Ray. They live on site, without at all being intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble for them, we found them super friendly and very helpful. Places we would recommend visiting include Monflanquin, Monpazier, chateau Biron, Le Ranch Du Bel Air and canoeing/swimming in the river at castelmoron sur lot.

Rarely do holiday accommodations greatly exceed expectations but this one certainly did. Extremely well equipped, furnished and maintained to the highest standard. Delightful, spacious rooms. Set peacefully amongst extensive gardens and fruit trees. Many, many positives including heated swimming pool, wonderful barbecue facility and games room. Alicia, the welcoming Chateau manager (discretely based in a separate building) provides expert local knowledge and is happy to prepare professional quality meals if required. A wonderful holiday enjoyed by all.
