Cost of staying at Channel 4’s Escape to the Chateau castle

Dick and Angel Strawbridge wowed viewers by giving them an insight into the transformation of their 19th century French chateau over the years after moving in in 2015.

As they put their own stamp on Chateau De La Motte Husson, the whole process was documented on Channel 4’s hit show Escape to the Chateau. Not only is it now a beautiful family home, but also a luxury wedding venue and more.

In the Mayenne area of ​​France, it has an impressive 45 bedrooms and also offers ‘elegant camping’ packages.

Although currently “sold out” on their website, the campground offers guests to stay in a unique dome, dubbed the “Chateau Under the Stars.” The geodesic accommodation takes glamping to the extreme as it includes a shower, kitchen, wood burner and French breakfast for up to six people.

The family also provides a welcome basket of local delicacies, fishing and cycling equipment and even free use of the castle’s games room. Those who wish to accept the camping package have two options; £350 for guests to sleep in one double bed for two guests and the other with one double bed and two single beds. A dome costs £350, but for both domes – a maximum of four adults and two children – it’s £600 per night.

Staying in the castle itself is more expensive, with the Evening Standard reporting a minimum night costing £5,850. Weddings are Strawbridge’s biggest moneymaker, as they offer full use of their 12-acre grounds and 14-room home.

The Orangery, which has an authentic Art Deco style, provides seating for a wedding breakfast, while the sala à manger offers a more intimate opportunity for 12 people to enjoy a tasting menu. Depending on the package placed, weddings can range from £19,000 to £38,000.
