Chateau Camelot

First class facilities (ping pong, badminton, boules, subuteo, bikes, darts, snooker, etc etc), lovely convenient pool and outside dining area. Very handsome comfortable house, imaginatively laid out.

Chateau Camelot provided an unforgettable holiday for our family party of 13 adults and four children under nine. Helped, admittedly, by one week of perfect summer weather, we found it impossible to make full use of all the many facilities in the time available. The plethora of outside attractions in this area also drew us away from the chateau's myriad facilities.
The chateau, set in its own 50 acre parkland, is comfortable and spacious, with an abundant supply of hot water, which is paradoxically essential, even in 30 degree weather.
The kitchen is well-appointed and we'll-equipped and gives onto an outside dining area (with huge table), which in turn gives immediate access to a splendid pool and small jacuzzi. Also, beside the pool were several fig trees. These were full of fruit, which the owner kindly said we should plunder at will. (We did just that).
I feel that the website does not do full justice to what the chateau offers and is slightly inaccurate in some respects:
Kitchen - in addition to the two small fridges and separate freezer, there is now a full size fridge too. We were never able to fill all of these.
The basement wine cellar also includes an unmentioned fridge.
The drawing room's TV has several British free-to-view channels, which were not mentioned. Inclement weather might make that facility very useful.
The chateau's orientation (south facing) means that two outside terraces/seating areas are essential on hot sunny days, so that one can move with the sun (or move out of the sun on blistering days). The chateau does mention this facility, but does not stress it's importance. I think that some potential guests who are not familiar with the French sun in this part of the country, might, when comparing one venue with another, underestimate this crucial factor.
Finally, we did have one minor temporary problem with the heating of the pool. Once notified, the owner reacted swiftly and effectively, and it was immediately solved. Further, the owner says that a heat pump will soon be installed as back-up, so that this minor glitch is highly unlikely to recur in the future.
After such a successful, but too brief, stay in this property, we would highly recommend it to others. We would love to return one year. If we do not, it would only be because of our party size or our choice of alternative geography.

We were a group of 18 adults who have had the most wonderful holiday at Chateau Camelot. Our expectations were undoubtedly exceeded in every respect. The views from the large pool, the Chateau and the immaculately kept grounds are exquisite. The Chateau itself is impressive being abundant in space, exceptionally clean, carefully decorated and every room wonderfully comfortable. The kitchen was fantastically well equipped for mass catering with ample fridge and freezer space. We wanted for nothing with a well furnished sports-hall, locally and very affordably stocked wine cellar and a pool that enjoyed the sun throughout the day (which was big enough for the entire group to enjoy be that in the pool or lounging by the side). As if all that wasn't enough the real thank you for making our holiday so wonderful goes to the truly superb manager of the property, Eric. He went above and beyond to ensure our enjoyment and make everything as convenient and easy as possible. As the organiser of the holiday I can't thank him enough, he ensured our privacy was respected yet he was readily available if we needed during our stay. Eric's help was invaluable in helping me organise the trip before our arrival (activities, food and general organisation amongst other things)...he is undoubtedly a major selling point for the chateau! You cannot fail to enjoy yourselves at Chateau Camelot and I and the group are unable to recommend the Chateau, the location and Eric highly enough!

We stayed at the Chateau in the week leading up to our wedding which we had organised on the weekend following our arrival. We found the chateau to be an excellent venue for our group of 15 adults on self catering basis. The chateau is accurately described on the website and the owners were always discreetly on hand to help out where required. The local town is only a 5 minute drive for small shopping and fresh bread and the town of Cahors with large supermarket and shops is only 20 minutes away. Most our guests arrived at Toulouse airport which is 1,5 hours drive away. As it was May we were a bit unlucky with the weather but due to the excellent accommodation and sportcomplex we managed to have a great week. There is more than enough to do at the Chateau, from drinks and games in the stylish wine cellar to sports and fitness at the sport complex. The patio area is a good place to sit even when the whether isn't good and we spend many nights out there. The Chateau is well positioned, both the interior and exterior have been a true labour of love which can be seen in the detail and quality of the finishings. The kitchen was well equipped and well used during our cooking competition as well as having a lovely barbeque at the weekend. Prior to choosing the chateau for our wedding / holiday venue we met up with the owners to discuss the possibilities and see the chateau which was very helpful.. they were very helpful before and during our stay and have done most of the organisation for our wedding as well as ongoing presence and support on our wedding day. Which gave us the perfect day! The Chateau was transformed into a perfect wedding venue for our ceremony and for our wedding meal with a large dining table in the main dining / living room which comfortably seated our group and guests totalling 25 persons, and even accommodated a pianist playing live music. We then had fire works to finish which was spectacular!!

Wonderful week. Beautiful scenery, lovely house and games room - we had a great family holiday
