The Chateau d’Audrieu, as seen
today, dates from the beginning of the 18th century, but its history
goes back in to the time of William the Conqueror, when it was the
residence of the Lord of Percy, the first ruler of these lands, whom
according to legend was the personal chef of the Conqueror... The
building was devastated by the wars, except for the two wings from the
15th century which still remain, as well as the central building from
the 18th century. Bedrooms have been created in the wings whilst the
central body houses the dining rooms, drawing rooms and some prestigious
suites. All of the bedrooms have a small entrance (foyer) to guarantee
privacy. There are five double attic rooms with country style decoration
which are used essentially by younger clients or for single occupancy.
The “First” category rooms are more spacious with more luxurious
decoration and marble bathrooms. The Deluxe rooms and suites have king
size beds and bathrooms particularly luxurious, some of them with
Jacuzzi. An interesting observation about this outstanding chateau is
that in its half board rate, one can choose “a la carte” any delicacy
desired. |
