Rooms

The children are residing either in the Chateaux itself or one of the wings – both equally comfortable. You won’t be surprised, however, to hear that the conditions of the rooms – once the children have ‘moved in’ – can vary significantly from ‘fit for the Queen’ to relative squalor.

To avoid this, the adults have devised a points system for each living area. Each evening, every room is inspected on the following categories: floor, beds, overall arrangement and performance. The final category being the most interesting with each room challenged to present their room in a creative way. We have had songs, poems, dances and much more – I was even offered water and a ‘hot rag’ as I entered one room (I’m not sure what restaurants Rishi frequents!) They certainly have been entertaining. Prizes for overall winners.
