About this house rental
Recently featured on Channel 4's popular series Chateau DIY.
Chateau de Dohem has a romantic history; in 1875 Andre Joseph Courtat built a large and beautiful property on the birthplace of his wife. The Chateau has breathtaking views over open countryside and is set in the heart of the Regional Natural Park Caps and Marais d’Opale in a small village called Dohem which is just a 40 minute drive from both the Eurotunnel and the Ferry, making it ideal for those who want to holiday in France but without all the driving. The property is set behind a high wall and is approached through wrought iron gates, over a sweeping gravel drive with plenty of parking space for 8-10 cars.
This beautiful Chateau has been completely renovated to a very high standard. It has 7 bedrooms in total. Six bedrooms within the Chateau, arranged over two floors, 3 of which have en suite shower rooms, a large light and airy lounge with wood burning stove, Games Room with Pool Table, Study with Wi-Fi, fully equipped Kitchen with large range style cooker, fridge/freezer with ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, large walk in Pantry and Utility Room with washing machine, tumble dryer and treble fridge, Dining Room seating for 16, ground floor cloakroom, first floor cloakroom and large family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Across the Courtyard a converted barn houses bedroom 7 which has a King Size bed with access to shower room and toilet via the sauna room. Within this building there is also a massage room, Sauna and changing Room
The property has a decked eating out area outside the kitchen with large table and chairs and to the rear of the property is a huge multi level decked area with seating and loungers with sandstone paving around the swimming pool which is heated between April and October.
This area incorporates the hot tub and swimming pool and has far reaching views over open rolling countryside. There are large landscaped gardens with lawned area and shrub borders, a pergola rose garden, small vegetable garden and a separate 'secret garden' hidden away with a fountain and pond full of water lily's and goldfish extensively planted with herbs and roses, a lovely place to sit and dream.

This was a brilliant place to stay, we celebrated Christmas here with our English/Belgian family, easy to get to for everyone, spacious for our 10-strong group, a Christmas tree was present, felt very family-friendly.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2019
The moment we pulled outside the electric gates, drove into the sweeping driveway, we knew that this holiday was going to deliver on every level of luxury and comfort. The property oozes grandeur. Wendy and Marcus were waiting to offer a very warm welcome and made us feel at home straight away. Chateau Dohem is decorated and finished with outstanding flair and detail. The kitchen is well stocked, with every utensil imaginable available for any self-catering group. There is plenty of space in the property, affording privacy for all. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2018
Whilst all the facilities as promised were on site we all felt that the property was short of real care and maintenance.
1. The decking area was in very poor conditions and our children suffered 5 splinters during the 2 weeks.
2. The kitchen was very poorly organised with various sets of cutlery and glasses but no consistency of type or quality.
3. The cooker door did not close properly and was dangerous when cooking.
4. The oven top use was very poor to control and use
5. The sink in the kitchen was constantly blocking due to poor drainage connections
6. Some of the items in the pantry were out of date by up to 3years and I would consider them to be unsafe.
Whilst all of the above caused concern we had a wonderful holiday and it is a wonderful property, however if it is to sustain its 5 star status better organisation and maintenance needs to be provided very quickly
