The Coach House, Chateau des Etoyeres
General Description
Chateau des Etoyeres is set in 15 acres of ancient forest and parkland. The Estate consists of a gate house, chapel, bread oven, coach house and the chateau itself. The Chateau dates back to 1460 and was originally a fortified residence with a moat. The Coach House is a well renovated, spacious, tastefully furnished building, with its own garden and use of the heated outdoor swimming pool. It was fully-refurbished in 2005 to a high specification. It has a wonderful large salon with a huge fireplace with logs to burn on a cool evening. It is situated away from the main Chateau and has its own private garden and BBQ. We provide kayaks for use on our river, a table-tennis table, and bicycles. There's plenty to do, apart from just relaxing. Guests are free to explore the private wood, where we have seen deer & hares, and also to visit the chapel.
Location
Chateau des Etoyeres is 0.5km from St Cenere and 3 kms from the pretty town of Montsurs, which has plenty of boulangeries, boucheries and supermarkets. It is boarded by the River Jouanne, a tributary of the Mayenne. The Chateau estate is situated between Mayenne and Laval. Laval provides many activities, including an 8 screen cinema, go-carting, badminton and tennis. It is a beautiful medieval city with a castle and museum. There are many activities nearby including golf and cycling plus there are walking paths and horse-riding. And don’t forget, the Le Mans race track is only 45 minutes away!
