Lovely welcoming place

Review Submitted: April 5, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Beautiful property, very clean and well maintained, fantastic breakfast. Owners very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended, great if you have children.Janice & Kurt
Recommended for:  Sightseeing, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: We are pleased to say that Janice and Kurt's review reflected the comments that we were delighted to have had from our guests and are happy to confirm that we aim for a high standard in our attitude to all aspects of your stay.
If our guests are not happy then neither are we.
We pay special attention to cleanliness, with rooms being serviced daily and fresh linen and towels provided as required.
We aim to provide a relaxed atmosphere for our guests both inside and outside with ample seating areas, sun loungers, parasols and BBQ,s. We tend to find that with the friendly atmosphere our guests are happy to mingle, but there are lots of areas for those who like to sit and read quietly or just relax for a few minutes on their own. We love having children visit and have some pool toys for them and a small play area with swing and rope ladder.
We enjoy providing a hearty "petit dejeuner" for our visitors, with fruit and jams from our own garden and fresh croissants and pain daily from our local boulangerie.
Our guests especially appreciated the facilities for catering for themselves with the provision of a microwave oven, kettle, toaster and ample fridge space to store perishables and of course the BBQ's. This means you can relax around the pool all day, with the ability to prepare a snack on hand.
With a large salon to retreat to and a drink of your choice and wine in the evening, we hope to have looked after your every need, and look forward to seeing you this summer.

Joyce and Don.

Hospitality and relaxation at its best

Review Submitted: September 6, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
A hidden gem. Website desciption & photos depict exactly what we found in a supurb rural setting. Following Don's very clear and precise directions we found Le Grand Moulin some 20 minutes off junction 34 of the A10 Autoroute. Within minutes of arriving we felt as though we had known Joyce and Don for years and very much at home. Beautiful accomodation that is bright and airy and spotlessly clean. Wonderful facilities particularly for the kids with endless things to do if you can prise them out of the swimming pool ! (WiFi for the teenagers) Breakfast of home grown melon, croissants and pastries laid out for you is a cracking way to start your day. Plenty of nearby places of interest with Saintes and Cognac only 20 minutes away. Good size supermarket just 10 minutes away. There is a restaurant is this town as well but the weather was so good the BBQ was in our eyes the only place to cook. A great place for a family holiday allowing mum and dad to truly chill out on the patio or sunloungers or join in with the table tennis, table football, pool table etc, etc. Joyce and Don are fantastic hosts providing advice and information if required with no request to much trouble. On an evening Don's famous sundowners are the perfect way to end the day. In summary a wonderful holiday, thank you Don and Joyce from all the family - a week was too short it will be longer next time."

Splendid Rural Retreat.

Review Submitted: July 20, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Set amongst Sun Flowers and Grape Vines in quiet rural France.
An ideal place for a relaxing unwind from the daily hurly burly .

Very well presented, immaculate accomodation. Convivial hosts, welcoming and willing to go the extra mile.

Good local restaurants, plenty to explore.

Really good base, for touring or cycling, the local landscape is relatively flat but still interesting.

First class all round.

Magnificent setting/home and exeptional hosts

Review Submitted: August 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
From the time we left the Airport in La Rochelle, Don and Joyces direcions led us through beautiful Frence countryside, with tree lined avenues, to Le Grand Moulin in a stunning rural setting. On the days that we travelled out to explore with our two children, aged 9 and 11, we always looked forward to the warmest of welcomes form our hosts as we returned in the evenings. Don's unique gin & tonics are sensational. This is a perfect location to explore many interesting places or just to relax and unwind. It really was the best of both worlds and I would highly recommend it. We stayed for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed every minute, particularly our two children, who cannot wait to go back.
Recommended for:  Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: We hope that future guests benefit from Hugh and Alison's description of our chambre d'hotes and the area surrounding us. We offer a calm and relaxed setting to the discerning holidaymaker, with the chance to mix with other guests and meet new friends or simply to spend time en famille. There are many pastimes such as boules, cycling, table tennis or pool not to mention the swimming pool, and lovely beaches and places of interest a short car journey away.And at the end of a perfect day in the French countryside or lazing by the pool one of Don's famous gin and tonics awaits you. The end to another perfect day as a guest at Le Grand Moulin Chambre d'Hotes.
