We live in the château with Billy’s brother Michael who started this adventure with us, their sister Sadie and her daughter Olivia who came to join us a few months later, and the latest addition of the family, our son Ernest. Billy’s parents Sherrie and Mick live on site too, and all together we have eleven cats and dogs!
When it comes to renovating the château and taking care of the huge property, all of the family pitches in, we are proud of doing as much as we can by ourselves, which of course means it takes longer than it would if we were to hire companies to do it all, but which makes it much more exciting!
Gwendoline and Billy are running the holiday rental business, with Billy working on the maintenance and the hands-on jobs, and Gwendoline focusing on admin and customer relations.
