A beautiful property in a quiet location
We had a lovely week's holiday in this property despite poor weather - it is exactly as photographed. We all loved the table tennis in the basement, the g/kids also enjoyed playing hide and seek in such a quirky property. The dishwasher was a bonus and as there is a washing machine and tumble dryer, I even went home with clean clothes. We saw deer and a boar at the feeder near the lake. Unfortunately, sat nav took us to the wrong place - make sure you go to La Framboisiere not Saucelle. The property is on the N25 between Verneuil-sur-Avre and La Framboisiere - google maps is accurate! We all took the train from La Loupe to Paris for the day and had a great day - rhe g/kids were delighted to see the eiffel tower. Some of the family also did a day trip to disneyland. Verneuil-sur-avre is definitely worth a visit - had a lovely meal there too. Bakery in Senonches recommended by Jerome was excellent and the Friday market was worth a visit too.

Great castle stay
After the bustle of Paris it was great to relax here in the countryside. Jerome was very accommodating. One bit of advice - if you are going to take the short hike to La Saucelle via the back trail, first find out how to get through the fence gate.

What a magnificent experience!
This property is exactly what you would expect if you feel you are royalty! The communication with the owners is excellent if you speak any language! The grounds keeper Jerome was wonderful and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. The landscaping is absolutely beautiful. We were even able to see some deer. This palace is an absolute dream. Thank you for making our family feel special and welcomed. Kind regards...Jorge

A chateau living experience in 700 acres!
Our multi generational family group, ranging from 5 to 85 years old, descended on Chateau Buffalo this summer. We were blown away by the chateau and grounds, and loved exploring the house, and walking and cycling around our private forest and lake. We spotted kites, deer, frogs and toads! (Beware the wild boar, but we didn't see any.) The space in the chateau is perfect for large group activities, and we enjoyed lots of party games in the lounge. There was also good WiFi throughout the house. Our weather was mixed but on sunny days the immense lawn was perfect for frisbee, badminton, volleyball and football. When it was rainy, table tennis in the cellar was a good option. There are several good sized supermarkets 10-15 minutes away by car, and a selection of restaurants within the same range. We had a lovely time here and were well looked after by the on-site caretaker Jerome. Being just a 2 hour drive from Dieppe makes this property very accessible from the UK.

Amazing Chateau and grounds!
This is such a beautiful unique property I can not say enough about how special it is. The property manager Jerome was so kind and helpful, extremely patient with our horrible french. He suggested local attractions and basically made sure we had an amazing stay. The Chateau itself was amazing, so many bedrooms and most of the bathrooms are newly renovated, the ping pong table in the basement helped pass a rainy afternoon. We did lots of hiking on the property grounds seeing foxes, deer and lots of rabbits. I fully intend to stay here again the next time we visit France, hopefully we will speak the language better by then! Thank you Jerome and Luc for sharing this property!

Amazing place well kept with lots of space and well kept with thoughtful touches such as a games cupboard and table tennis table Children loved the fantastic grounds and spotting the wildlife. Chairs could be a little more comfortable but very stylish. Spiral staircase superb but could be a problem for some. Jerome very welcoming and friendly. A great stay and would strongly recommend

Amazing Property and Surroundings 5*
Wow, what a property. The communication before our arrival was great and the caretaker was always available to answer any questions. The gardens, main house, facilities and the huge woodland areas were great and the views from the rooms were fantastic too. We spent much of our time in the kitchen area and in the garden and woods for walks. Dog friendly too but keep them in at night due to the deer and wild boars! Nice to have table tennis and good internet too. Great for friends and families or go as a couple to have all of the space :) You have the use 7 bedrooms for up to 14 people. I would recommend this special property and we hope to come back again one day. Thanks

A Chateau Fairytale Fantasia
The chateau is perfect for someone who want good resting on holiday without any concerns or stress, since it is located on a very quiet and peaceful setting, surrounded by forest where the deers and stags are everywhere. The housekeepers will be there nearby the chateau, so the castle is a very safe place and the guests don't have to worry about general security there. The wooded area is extremely beautiful, you can take a walk for hours and hours because it is a huge track of land which is almost as big as a national park. Wild boars and plenty of songbirds also live there. It seems that a Snow White and the seven dwarves will pop out while you stroll over the wooded lanes, it is literally the reality version of your fairytale fantasy. Who know, if you spot a very unusual thing like a little ghost during your stay?

Great stay. Big house, lovely grounds. Lots for the kids to do and explore. Senonches the nearest town with supermarket, cafes etc, so you need a car to get around. Caretaker very friendly and lives and works on site. Table tennis in the basement the icing on the cake!

Le château de Buffalo est un endroit magique.

Et quel plaisir de voir admirer chaque matin les animaux sauvages qui viennent se promener aux alentours de l'étang.

Week-end entre amis parfait
Nous avons passé un excellent week-end au château de Buffalo grâce à plusieurs facteurs: le professionnalisme de Jérôme (le régisseur du domaine) qui a été aux petits soins pour nous (Avant et pendant le séjour) et à répondu à toutes nos diverses sollicitations. Un grand merci a lui et BRAVO, tout était parfait ! Le domaine immense, avec ses chemins forestiers isolés du monde (prenez des bottes) où nous avons trouvé des champignons et profité des magnifiques couleurs automnales. Une demeure exceptionnelle avec de la très jolie vaisselle et tout le matériel nécessaire pour cuisiner; des chambres spacieuses et confortables (dont plusieurs ont leur salle de bain); et la cerise sur le gâteau: le soleil qui s’est joint à nous pour rendre nos photos encore plus belles. Venez à la Saucelle, le temps s’arrête et on n’a qu’une idée en repartant: y revenir !

Historic and charming chateau - perfect spot for relaxing vacations!
We had a wonderful vacation week in this beautiful castle. The Chateau de Buffalo offers a lot of space not just for a family like us – you can easily enjoy your time with many more people! There are 7 charming bedrooms – many of which even with an en-suite bathroom (and none with a ghost ) – and all of them with amazing views of the calm and beautiful landscape around the castle. The kitchen is well equipped and very spacious. You can find nice details in and around the castle. There are no direct neighbors in sight – we just got regularly visits by deers and rabbits  On the whole huge fenced area – including the large forest and a lake – there is just one further inhabited building where Jerome (the keeper of the area and the castle) lives. Even though we couldn’t speak very much French it was easy to communicate – and Jerome was very helpful in case we needed him. With a car you can easily reach many beautiful destinations in the Normandy: we liked especially the beautiful coastline with the capital Rouen, the small coastal cities Honfleur, Trouville and Deauville as well as the awarded wonderful little villages like Lyons-la-Foret. Shops for your supplies or close-by-restaurants you can reach by car within a few minutes – either in Senoches (< 10 min) or in the lovely medieval town of Verneuil d'Avre et d'Iton (15 min – more shops & restaurants). We definitely recommend this very special place!

Bon séjour dans ce château
Nous avons passé un bon moment dans le château. Il est situé sur un terrain privé vaste, en plein forêt (pensez à prendre les chaussures adaptés pour les promenades dans la nature). Le château est grand, avec plusieurs chambres, salles de bain, donc, ça convient aux groupes d'amis, on peut loger facilement une dizaine de personnes. La cuisine est bien équipée et l'ensemble est très propre (ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié, nous avons séjourné auparavant dans plusieurs châteaux, il y a souvent de la poussière, ce qui rend la vie des personnes allergiques compliquée).
