Accommodation Castelwood

  • Chalet

    The chalets have been designed and constructed in a New Zealand style. They have been built with Douglas fir and Scotch pine. The roofs are the same colour as the local slate tiles, blending well with the environment. They also play shadow games with the leaves of the trees. The outside of the chalets are the colour of patinated wood, which corresponds also to the local style.<br><br>Each chalet is roomy with more than 50m² (540 sq .ft) floor space, as well as a veranda of 15m² (160 sq. ft.).<br><br>The interior is in the Périgord style, with the roofbeams close together and with an elevated pitch to the roof. The latter allows for a bedroom for 2/4 people on the mezzanine floor. Downstairs there is an open style kitchen, a living room with a comfortable seating arrangement, a separate toilet, a bathroom with shower and washbasin and another bedroom for 2 people.<br><br>The veranda has a garden table and chairs, for your meals or drinks outside.

The general atmosphere and friendly staff are great and so was the glamping tent.

The remote position forced us to use the car every day. Most of the touristic activities are 30 to 60 minutes away from Biron.

The location was amazing, in the middle of the forest, the tent we stayed in was brand new and very well made, we loved it. Also the Dordogne is a great spot to do all sorts of trips and scout the surroundings, absolutely loved it.

Castle wood has such a relaxed vibe, with the cabins tucked away in the trees! The pool is amazing! The braai/barbecue area is great too
