Le Grand Moulin (1) (watermill)

Home description

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.

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 barbeque - 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.

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

How to get there

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

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

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.

Guestbook

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

Very hard to beat and supremely comfortable
