around Le Castel, and there's a TV and a comprehensive set of board
games in the sitting room. There's also croquet on the lawn in
front of the house: locals may find it quirky, but apparently the
game was invented in Normandy.

When to go?
Le Castel is open all year, but is at its best between March and November. Avoid August if you don’t want to be disturbed by children playing. Come in the winter for blazing fires and lovely walks; come in summer if you fancy some serious lazing on the terrace.
