Spacious, very well equipped, beautifully presented, attractive interior. Very good dining terrace as well as an excellent kitchen. Lovely grounds, very good pool and pool toys and river on the doorstep. Delightful and helpful housekeeper. Convenient for local village and local town. An altogether gorgeous family holiday home.

The property was all we hoped it would be - it had a very homely feel and there was plenty of space for everyone to find their own corner and a pool to meet up and have fun together. Despite very hot weather, the house was welcomingly cool inside

Le Moulin Charmant really is a little slice of heaven on earth... Our group ranged from 2 to 80 years old and everyone loved it equally. The house has been thoughtfully and beautifully decorated and feels like a much loved home rather than a bland holiday let. We found all the bedrooms well laid out and very comfortable, each having it's own bathroom was an added bonus as we were a full house. There are plenty of large seating areas both inside and out where everyone could be together, but if someone felt like a bit of time out (aka a snooze!!) there was always a quiet shady spot to be found - swaying in a hammock by the river being one of the favourites. There are loads of things to do on site if you can drag yourself away from the sun beds in the beautiful gardens (table tennis, badminton, swimming, plenty of games and puzzles etc.), or you can hop on a hired bicycle and explore the stunning countryside and pretty villages nearby, or make an early morning dash to the award-winning local boulangerie! We found charming local towns, Chateaux and gardens to explore, and delicious restaurants nearby as well. Rebecca the housekeeper is lovely and very helpful, and can provide yummy food if required. Basically, I can't recommend Le Moulin Charmant highly enough, and will definitely be returning to this idyllic spot as soon as I can!
