This is the ultimate house for a celebration or a multi-family holiday. The chateau has recently been refurbished to the highest standard, and can sleep 26 in twelve bedrooms and eleven bathrooms. The emphasis here is on fun: there are large, comfortable reception rooms, a cinema room, a snooker room, a large playroom with table tennis and table football - and four hectares of gardens and parkland to explore. There is a tennis court that can also be used for football, a covered mini-tennis court and eight bikes to explore the local area. In addition, on the top floor of the house there is a second television room upstairs, as well as a room with a very high ceiling that has a full-size trampoline.

About Amanda
When Amanda is not managing the rental of Chateau d'Hallines, she is a marriage guidance counsellor.
Amanda purchased this Chateau / Country House in 2016
Why Amanda chose Wizernes
This is an area that is so easy to get to: it's just three hours from Junction 5 of the M25 via the Channel Tunnel, and two hours from St Pancras using the Eurostar and a taxi. But despite that, the area is very unspoilt by tourists as so many of them keep driving south!
What makes this Chateau / Country House unique
This property was built in the Nineteenth Century by one of the region's wealthiest families, who owned nine paper mills. It is such a spectacular size, and so well preserved - and yet it is also a house that is well suited to large groups enjoying themselves in style.

Beautiful property that is true to its advertising. Kitchen is well stocked which we appreciated as we enjoyed cooking and relaxing at the castle more than anything on our trip. Even used the marvelous new tennis court. Great location for large group.

Truely incredible stay at the Chateau

We had the most wonderful stay at Dan & Amanda's beautiful chateau. We went with a group of 23 guests over the New Year period and absolutely loved it. The house is exactly as shown in the photographs and it had everything we needed. As it was Winter, we predominantly stayed indoors but they had plenty of games and activities to keep us busy. In Summer, it would be amazing as you could utilise the outdoor area and tennis court.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything and we cooked in every night and sat in the amazing dining room which seated 26 people.
Each bedroom is beautifully decorated and nearly all rooms have their own ensuite.
It was an easy drive from London and only 30 minutes from the tunnel. There is a nearby supermarket that we visited every day to stock up on supplies which was very easy.
Amanda was incredible with communication and was prompt to reply and help us with any requests. She organised a chef for us one evening which was fantastic and would highly recommend.
We would love to return again to this beautiful Chateau. It was a fantastic holiday and would highly recommend.

We had a brilliant time at Chateau d'Hallines. 16 of us went there for a golfing holiday and the house could not have been more perfect. Wonderful rooms to relax in, a large kitchen with all we needed and there was spectacular number of activities to keep us busy when we weren't playing golf - from table tennis to mountain biking. It was all immaculately clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable and there was a great choice of movies too. The hosts, Dan and Amanda, were super organised, very friendly and responded quickly to all our questions. Highly recommended - we will definitely be returning!

The house is just perfect! Lovely designed and furbished with a mix of rench touch and comfort, and modern luxury style.
All works achieved respect the castle spirit, and help you to fel extraordinary at ease in this incredibly luxurious environment.
Each room unveils its own personality...
ALl have been thought to ensure our well being, the equipment is based on high standard: from the kids games, trampoline, snookers, French bowls, tennis playground, cross bikes, amazing bluetooth sound speakers, cheminée, etc!
y est spécialement pensé pour le bien être de ses hôtes avec un taux d'équipement exceptionnel (jeux pour enfants, trampoline, billard, pétanque, terrain de tennis, VTT, colonnes bluetooth pour la musique, cheminée...).
The terrasse and BBQ are well exposed and could be set up for large lunch/ diner parties!
Kitchen is large and incredibly modern. It has been difficult to come back to our homes after having cooked there. We experimented couples of lively breakfasts there.
Last but not lease, the park is amazing, and the staff on site has been very responsive and available on demand. We were 26 people, including children, and everyone agree to come back!
Merci encore.
