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.

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.

My family and I stayed at Chateau Dohem the 4th-18th August 2018 and enjoyed one of the best holidays we have had Each year we take a large house usually in France and sometimes in the UK We are a family of eight adults (30-70 years old) and four children (7-15 years old) This year I decided to avoid a lengthy drive through France at the busiest holiday time and to stay not too far from Calais It was great. The chateau was extremely well appointed and had all the facilities we could ask for. The children (and adults) loved the large swimming pool The first week we had sunshine and so we didn’t stray far from the Pas de Calais region The second week we had some cloud and on a couple of days occasional rain but this didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves as Bruges was not too far away as was Lille. I was surprised how much there was to do in the area from boats on the Audomarois Marshes, the Blockhause and La Coupole , massive bunkers built by the Germans using forced labour for the manufacture and launch of V2 rockets and many other sights associated with the two world wars I would recommend both the chateau and the region for a family or group holiday

The property is stunning and it is in a beautiful place

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

Arrived at the entrance gate and were blown away by the view of the chateau which greeted us. It looks more impressive in real life than the pictures online. The chateau has been lovingly restored and every room is impressive, clean and comfortable. Wendy is a very welcoming host and the facilities offered here far exceed those we have experienced before in France. Wendy provides a welcome food pack and the kitchen is well stocked, including a pantry filled with wine, soft drinks, tins, packets etc to help prepare tasty meals. We just replaced what we used. The outdoor space is enormous, gets the sun all day long and provides ample room to relax or party and we made lots of use of the hot tub, pool and barbecue despite sometimes inclement weather. The location of the chateau is very rural with beautiful views over the countryside and farmland. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay, however, you are not far from bigger towns and good places to explore. We would recommend visiting the restaurant Auberge in the village of Fauquembergues, a 10 minute drive away. We had a fabulous long lazy lunch and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely look to return to this lovely place and would thoroughly recommend it to others. We have very happy memories of our week here.
