Unassuming, yet stylish bathrooms fill the chateau turrets and invite the tranquillity of the surrounding panoramas into the castle. Lavish living spaces with feature fireplaces set off this most luxurious of holiday homes.

When the sun is shining, why not enjoy a glass of something bubbly by the pool or a spot of fishing on the lake? That is, if you don't mind sharing it with the beavers! The lake within the grounds houses a family of beavers - why not grab the binoculars and try and spot them?

Squashy, comfy sofas line the lounge areas - an ideal space to relax, whether you delve into a novel or flick through the channels on the Apple TV. The ground floor turrets house a playroom and study area. Fabulous little nooks for kids to escape to - the ultimate hide and seek venue.

Eight spacious bedrooms are spread over two floors, each boasting individually-styled interiors and unique vistas over the sprawling gardens. The first floor has four double bedrooms; the four-poster master suite has a beautiful en-suite bathroom with bath tub allowing ample space for pampering.

There is a king size bedroom, a single bedroom with en-suite bathroom, plus another first-floor king size double bedroom. Finally, two single beds occupy the fourth bedroom with en-suite shower room.

The open plan kitchen is crammed with essentials you'll need to whip up anything from your go to comfort food, to haute cuisine and everything in between. Bathed in natural light, the kitchen is the heart of the house where all of your party will be drawn to, the smells of fresh coffee and warm pastries.

Finding inspiration will be a doddle, gorgeous French cuisine, fresh breads or even a bowl of nettle soup using fresh ingredients picked straight from the estate. Figs plucked from the trees, plums still warm from the sun or hazelnuts from the orchard embody the luxury that Chateau Tournesol offers.

With a whole world of adventures and places to explore from the doorstep, you certainly won't be lost for things to do. However, if you can't bear to leave the comfort of your castle, find your favourite spot and cosy up in front of one of the roaring fires with a hot toddy.
