Are towels, cleaning and bed linen included?
Yes. All is included. We do ask you however to take your own large towels for the pool.

Can I take my pet / dog?
If you like to take your dog(s); that’s possible. A few points of attention though. Your dog needs to be well behaved, so take care that your dog will not disturb the other guests or animals on the property. Dogs are not allowed to enter the pool area and the stairs to the sleeping floor or mount any of the furniture inside the accommodation. Dry your dog before entering the house and please take his or her dog basket/cushion, so your dog feels nicely at home :) Obviously, enjoy the natural surroundings often, to allow him/her to unleash the important, please clean straight away if this might happen on the property. An additional fee of €60 per booking will be charged per dog.

If we choose for the Complete Weekend package, is all food and drink included?
Yes, the inclusive package comes with a full catering menu and unlimited drinks during the program. A cocktail bar is not included. We are happy to make you some cocktails though! The cocktail bar can be booked as add-on.

Can we bring in our own drinks?
Within the “Creative Organiser” and the “Complete Wedding” formulas you can bring your our own drinks without limits. Within the “Let us help you” import is possible at an import fee. No matter what formula you choose, we always provide the drink service. Understand what that means in the point below.

What does your “drink service” entail?
To guarantee the quality of service, Château Barayre always provides the drinks service. On the wedding day, we usually serve drinks. Before and after the wedding day, we'll set up a boozy buffet that's constantly set-up and stocked. Our service includes refrigeration; glasses; furniture and serving facilities; service; cleaning; and waste disposal.
In case you bring your own caterer, don’t forget to mention him/her clearly that they should not include their drinks service.

It like to have a cocktail bar. Is that possible?
Due to our current license, we can't sell you our own cocktails. Yet, if you buy the booze, we are allowed to mix it for you. We work with an experienced bartender, so tell her your favourite cocktails; she’ll happily shake them together!
