Meet your hosts!
We are Alison and Zion, as featured on the Channel 4 TV series, Château DIY.
We bought our beautiful Château in 2021 and have been lovingly restoring it ever since. It was always a dream of ours to work on a project like this and make it our home and a venue for weddings, events and vacations.
We’d love to share Château de la Boutinière with you, so why not book a stay with us.
Booking options include:
Fairytale Wedding Destination
Book your wedding at Château de la Boutinière and we can organise everything for you and your guests. We can help you find a local wedding photographer, organise catering and even advise on additional accommodation for guests. The happy couple will enjoy the bliss of our bridal suite as featured on Château DIY.
Bridal Suite
Zion’s masterpiece is our bridal suite. This beautiful suite took a year to complete and is truly the ‘Crown Jewel’. Inspired by our travels to Morocco, the suite is ideal for a romantic 2 night stay or for any special occasion you choose. You don’t have to be a ‘bride’ to stay! Your ‘Romantic Escape’ awaits!
Book Gîte Josephine
Book one of our gîtes and dine with us at the Château. The transformation of Gîte Josephine pictured above, was featured on Château DIY. It is a delightful studio with a traditional French double bed and a cosy dining area. It has a kitchenette and ensuite shower room.
Book Gîte Vivienne
Our second gîte is Vivienne, which is next door to Josephine. It has a 5ft UK king size bed and dining area. Both gîtes have a kitchenette with hob, microwave, oven, fridge, sink and coffee machine. With an ensuite shower room with WC, wash-hand basin and shower, book whichever suits your needs best.
Short Breaks
Book a short break with us and choose from a weekend of wine tasting, antique hunting at our local brocantes or a private Châteaux tour, where we will take you to visit a number of local Châteaux in the region. You will also have an opportunity to meet our friends who own them.
Behind The Scenes
Spend a day with us at the Château and find out what it’s really like behind the scenes. You will be given a tour of our stunning home and its grounds, including an exclusive preview of our upcoming projects. There will be plenty of food and drink throughout the day!
