We were 20 spending one week at the property in late August. The property was easy to find and booking in with Noemi was pleasant and easy (requires a French speaker!) The property was lovely and the highlight was the pool area.
It is worth knowing there is a family uncle who lives on site so you are not entirely. Isolated (he supports with bins and is generally very useful).
The property was not quite as expected - the rooms contained an enormous number of artefacts which contained a lot of dust which caused some issues for those in our group with asthma. A number of the toilets did not work and tue main catering oven did not work which proved difficult in a group with 20 to feed. The plumbing is not ideal (this is to be expected) and so we had some issues with the drains and dishwasher.
Overall the property was wonderful however and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you very much!

We were a group of 3 families (6 adults, 7 children) and had a wonderful week at La Haute Porte last summer - it's the sort of place you could stay for weeks and only need to go out as you've run out of supplies, the grounds are huge and there are so many onsite activities to do. The house itself is enormous with several indoor sitting rooms and a large indoor dining area that we used quite a lot due to the rainy weather that week. The pool area is absolutely superb, surrounded by a variety of fruit trees and is very safe for children as it has an electric cover and is gated and locked with a key. There is also a basement laundry area that came in very handy.
The sleeping accommodation is plentiful mainly on the first floor with seven bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms - perfect for us as 3 families. There is also a second floor with 2 further (adjoining) bedrooms, one with a sink in it but there is no toilet up there.
The house is filled with memories from past trips around the world, almost like museum exhibits, none of us had ever stayed anywhere like it before and the children have made lifelong memories! We want to particularly thank Noemie and her uncle who really looked after us and made us all so welcome - extremely helpful but with no intrusion at all.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
The Mansion dates from 1877 and is literally packed with charm and history from that time. Personally, I would think that the always 5–10 extra pieces of furniture (especially chairs) that are in each room should be thrown out (stored elsewhere).The same applies to the cabinets that are FILLED with porcelain. A paintbrush on the exterior shutters in particular would also greatly enhance the impression. We had a challenge with the electricity going out several times a day and the pool temperature being set very low, so it was simply too cold. (managed to get it up to 30 degrees last night.)
