The chateau is rented on a self-catering basis but there is a resident cook/housekeeper who lives in her own house on the estate who can provide meals for you if you wish. Fresh linen is provided and twice weekly cleaning is included in the price. Further assistance such as baby sitting and evening meals can be provided at additional charge locally.
Hosted Breaks - At Chateau de la Guerinche we offer our guests genuine Chateau living with privacy, choice and independence, underlined by superb French country food and good old fashioned service. We can provide a unique package where the Chateau is exclusively yours to enjoy without any of the worries and effort of having to cater for yourselves. The pure pleasure of being looked after by our small but perfectly formed team led by your host Guy Wolley.
Guy Wolley trained in London with The Savoy Group, with stints at The Savoy, Claridges, The Connaught and the Berkeley, before settling in Paris for a few years to learn both the language, and the cuisine of France. Returning to England, he set up and run his own French restaurants and delicatessens in London. An experienced chef, TV presenter, writer and acknowledged authority on all things gastronomic, he has a profound love and understanding of France. He will organise excursions, tastings, evening entertainment and do everything to ensure that your stay at Guerinchie is perfect. He is the ideal, intuitive, discreet host who will provide as much, or as little, attention as you desire, always with a smile and often with a corkscrew.
Breakfast: Bread and croissants, eggs and bacon, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, omelettes and ham, eggs Benedict, yoghurt and granola, local jams and honey, fruits and juices – prepared by Guy (who has never forgotten what he learnt as breakfast chef at The Savoy some years ago!).
Lunch: A light lunch; bread, local charcuterie and cheese, salads, fruit and wine from Bergerac served in the kitchen or on one of the terraces. Picnics can be provided if you are out on an adventure. If you prefer to lunch out, then Guy can recommend and secure reservations at a number of excellent restaurants.
Dinner: served in the dining room.
At Chateau de la Guerinche we offer traditional French country cooking at its very best. Local ingredients are always used and menus change according to season. Of course requests and suggestions from guests are welcome and accommodated where possible.
