Château du Doux- Holiday Apartments

If you are planning a wedding soon, then you will not find anywhere that will match let alone beat this most magical venue. From start to finish our hosts Clive, Karren and family could not do any more to make all the wedding party feel at home in this magnificent chateau in the Dordogne Valley. The setting of the chateau itself is fabulous. Surrounded by lush gardens and offering breathtaking views of the valley below which provided an idyllic backdrop for the wedding. The staff were exceptional, the food divine and the drink plentiful all meticulously planned and executed, making for a seamless and memorable event. Overall, this venue exceeded all expectations and provided an unforgettable experience for the entire wedding party. The combination of beautiful surroundings, exceptional hospitality, and attention to detail truly makes this chateau the perfect choice for any celebration but especially a wedding.

We were fortunate enough to spend time here at Liam and Charlotte's wedding. A magical experience. The food was plentiful,delicious and of a very high standard. The appartment (Rocamadour A5) was spotless and so comfortable. Never had such fluffy towels. The chateau and the grounds are beautiful. The icing on the wedding cake are the owners themselves and their amazing staff. The service is personal and nothing was too much trouble. If you're looking for a wedding venue to more than fulfill your expectations, then look no further

I'm not even sure where to start with this review, but I'll go back to the first moment we pulled up to Château du Doux back in 2022 as we were driving around the France to find our dream wedding venue. We saw the Château as we drove over the hill and it took our breath away. As we drove through the gates and up to the building I think we may have already started to get the feels and envision our wedding here but what really solidified for us was Abbie and her family. They made us feel so special and as we left we looked at each other and said the yes the venue is perfect but the most important thing was that we wanted this wonderful family to be part of our wedding weekend. The communication and catch up's we had over the next couple of years were great. Abbie gave us all the info we need to be able to go away and do everything to prepare for our wedding. They even invited us over to stay at the Château six months before the wedding, which was perfect as this really helped us with all the final bits of planning, especially room / seating plans, decorations and just starting to bring everything together in our heads. Fast forward to the actual wedding and this is where the true magic started. We arrived and the weather was being slightly temperamental but we knew this was out of our control so we just needed to put that to the side and plan for every occasion. Abbie showed us through Plan A and Plan B and honestly both were amazing. Our friends and family arrived on the Friday and everyones jaws hit the floor, people could not stop talking about how beautiful Château du Doux was. We'd chose to go with a nice home from home favourite for our Friday meal and went with the Fish & Chip van option, which was such a good choice. Everyone loved the food and the guys who ran the van were super friendly. The next day was the big day, everything about the experience was perfect. We had great breakfast selection, and Katie and her bridesmaids went off to the beautiful dressing room to get ready, whilst sipping some bubbles. Then the men went up to the uber cool library space, to get ready and have a cheers with the fine whiskey left out by Abbie and the gang. The rooms were perfect and it just showcased how much thought Abbie and the family have put into to making Château du Doux the perfect wedding venue. We can't wait to see the pictures that come back from these getting ready moments. Now to the ceremony itself, unfortunately the weather did decide to phase in and out of light showers which meant we had to move inside and go with plan B but although it wasn't exactly what we envisioned it didn't change how beautiful the wedding ceremony was. As we moved across to the meal, we started to get into the speeches which went down a storm and then food came out. The meal was outstanding, every dish looked amazing and I don't think there was a crumb left on any plate. The comments we had from our guests were amazing. Then we partied way int
