Donkeys to stroke, bicycles to hire and ponies to ride: families will be in clover. It’s authentic and unpretentious here; many guests stop on their way south – you’re just a short hop from the motorway but the feel is very quiet and rural.

Friendly Norbert-André is a good cook and you can all eat together or at single tables if you prefer; cheeses are local, vegetables are just-picked, banquets can be arranged. He also organises temporary exhibitions of local art in the salon and dining room.

Stroll through the parkland surrounding the house; visit the swans in the pond or the farm animals. Saddle up one of the horses and enjoy a guided trek – for a day or even two – or you can hike or cycle. Historic Abbeville is a ten-minute drive and the coast with lovely Bay of the Somme nature reserve is half an hour.

"We absolutely love this place and have returned for a weekend away with the kids more than once. It is such a warm, friendly, calm place and the kids love running around playing with the animals whilst we can relax. Norbert-Andre is an amazing host and makes you feel instantly at home - the food is wonderful and the rooms are a delight. A fab place. "

"Even though we arrived late, due to the unprecedented snow blizzards, we received a warm welcome, with drinks by a glowing log fire. A wonderful regional home cooked dinner was served in the cosy music room by candlelight, making us feel relaxed & special. We stayed in the Opale suite, which has a beautiful circular sitting room and a large very tastefully decorated and comfortable bedroom. Norbert-Andre is passionate about his chateau and this showed in the quality of the rooms, service and food. We relished our relaxing stay at Chateau Behen and would gladly return for longer."

"We stayed here with our three children and we all loved it! The Cuvelier family is extremely friendly and hospitable. The chateau is lovely, we had a spaceous comfortable family room which was large enough for the five of us, and which could be seperated in two by a thick curtain. The chateau is beautiful and everything has been done up to a high standard. Yet we felt that our three three young children were very welcome, and they loved all the animals. The evening dinner was fantastic, even our fellow guest who had just completed a 3-month Cordon Blue course thought it was great food... Norbert the owner is a fantastic host, he does the cooking and serves the food and wine himself. This is the type of place you want to come back to more than once!"

"We were handed a flier for the Château at a motorway services about 10 years ago, and finally visited it this year! It was worth the wait. Very relaxing, large comfortable room, excellent hosts, delicious candlelit dinners. We're considering returning for a few days to celebrate a birthday ..."
