One of 6 family holiday cottages with two heated pools in sw France Exclusively for families.
Our property is for families with young children (generally under 10 years) We do not accept adult only groups. This cottage is central and directly opposite the sandpit and play garden - so you can sit back and drink a glass or two of the locally produced Pineau whilst your children play in the garden within view of your terrace.
This family holiday self catering gite in sw France sleeps 5 in 3 bedrooms . It is approximately 6m by 6m on each floor. There is a spacious open plan ground floor with living and dining areas and a kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with 4 ring gas hob, work top electric oven/grill, fridge freezer, dishwasher, electric kettle and microwave. The cottage is furnished with the needs of young families in mind - it has everything you need but you don't need to worry about breaking the crystal decanters or the louis 14th furniture - there isn't any! As all our guests are families with young children, neither do you need to worry about disapproving looks if your toddler throws a tantrum.

Reviews
Niamh from st pierre de juillers,
We highly recommend La Grange du Moulin, our three children ages 2, 5 & 7 really enjoyed making new friends, Wendy's teddy bear picnic and of course the swimming pool! The small pool was the perfect size and temperature for the younger ones. When they weren't in the pool they were in the garden playing with the ride-on toys and trampoline. Us grown-ups found Chris a fountain of knowledge in all things but mostly wine and enjoyed his Discovery Evening and Vineyard Walk. We had a lovely evening out too while Wendy babysat! I'm sure our children will remember this holiday for years to come and we've already recommended it to our friends.

Maher family review of La Grange du Moulin,June 2019, Horloge holiday cottage,children aged 3 & 1yrs
We had a lovely stay in Horloge cottage. Wendy & Chris are so helpful and welcoming - whether it's booking restaurants for us or introducing us to the local Pineau ! There is so much freedom for the kids and that means less stress for us. A wonderful week in France !

Harbourne from United Kingdom,
Harbourne family review of La Grange du Moulin, June 2019, Horloge holiday cottage, children aged 1 and 3 years
Another lovely week at La Grange du Moulin. Everything is set up perfectly for the children to have a fabulous time, whether that's playing in the garden, on the trampoline, swing & slide or pirate ship or splashing about in the pool. Wendy and Chris also lay on lots of events for children and adults alike. The set up allows parents to really relax as there's so much to entertain the children. The surrounding area also has lots to do from visiting towns and villages, to beaches, boats and lakes. Highly recommend it to everyone !
