About the home

Beautiful, tranquil valley setting with river and millstream running through the 4 acre paradise. The ideal spot to relax, swim, cycle or take country walks among the sunflowers. Situated down a quiet country lane, the barns have recently been converted to a very high standard with all modern facilities inc. Dishwasher, washing machine. TV etc. Central heating. Each has 2 bedrooms(1 double & 1 Twin), attractively decorated and furnished. BBQ's and outside furniture. For days out, visit the many Brandy houses at Cognac, the attractive, old town of Angoulême. Limoges and the sea at La Rochelle. For Children there are many things to do and places to go including Futuroscope and several outdoor activities. The area offers a number of excellent restaurants at a range of price levels - at least one of which is outstanding.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The interior has been completely and tastefully redesigned. It is fully equipped with our guests' comfort in mind and is the ideal base for exploring and enjoying our lovely region

Further details

During the low season (all year excepting July and August), in addition to our lower rates we will - if requested - let just the one gite and leave the other closed - thereby ensuring a relaxed, private family holiday. - Speak to us at the time of booking.

Conditions

A refundable deposit of £100 is required to cover breakages.
Owing to the large amount of water (River, lake and mill race) some of which is quite deep, we feel that regrettably it may not be suitable for children below the age of 8 years unless they are very competent swimmers.

Gite 1

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente region

The area has a long history of royal connections with England and is very popular with Brits. Our climate is generally warmer in the summer, is much more reliable (if setting a day for a barbecue - you can generally be sure of having one) and it's an unusual day when you can't have all of your meals outside. Winters are as cool or even cooler but usually shorter.

The Ruffec / Poursac area

Situated in a quiet rural area with superb access to the UK (via Road, Rail or Air) and ideally placed for such towns as Limoges with its porcelain factories, Poitiers and Angouleme. Cognac and the brewers that are so well known is easily reached and for those who want to the sea - La Rochelle with its own uniquely pleasant weather is just over an hour away. The property is also ideal for anyone needing a base while looking for a house

Flying - to Poitiers from Stanstead(Ryanair) or Limoges from Stanstead, East Midlands or Liverpool also with Ryanair.
By rail from Waterloo to Poitiers by TGV is a fantastic and relaxing journey - so long as you change at Lille rather than Paris
By Ferry via Calais, Boulogne(Speedferries are very Cheap), Caen(Brittany ferries aren't) or St Malo which is the shortest road trip this side(4+hrs) but usually an overnight boat ride. The A28 Motorway is now open all the way from Calais to Tours and the whole journey can now be driven on Dual carriageway - most of it superb and often empty. From Calais you can expect to need 7 hours and most people will probably prefer a stop overnight

“Highly recommended gite to relax and enjoy the surroundings” We (2 adults and 11 year old daughter) had a most fantastic week at the gite. Managed to perfection by the owners and their delightful dog, we enjoyed the private pool and the surroundings, both around the gite and the villages nearby. All you need to chill and recharge your batteries is available and you can do as little or much as you like. Plenty of historical visits, Valleey de Signes (Monkey World) where you can spent an entire day and much more. We are definitely contemplating on returning to the gite again in future, there is still so much more to explore in the area. Many thanks to Richard, Patsy and of course Josie to make it a week to remember :o)

“An exception gite, superbly equiped” We had a wonderful stay in this excellent gite that is sited in amazing grounds. I doubt the tranquillity could be surpassed in a habited area. I suspect we will be back in the future. Do take detailed maps of the area, or a good sat-nav. We had the latter and found everything we wanted. There are also some really good restaurants within easy reach.

Guestbook for Le Grand Moulin (1)

The Grand Moulin exceeded all expectations and was very much undersold - The Johnsons of Ilford.

Very hard to beat and supremely comfortable
