Photos and Description of this Vendee holiday cottage 2 bedroom stone cottage in quiet rural setting

Le Moulin Bodin is a former watermill nestling on the banks of the river Lay in the South Vendee countryside. In a secluded setting at the end of a country lane, the detached guest cottage is an ideal romantic retreat for a couple, but can accommodate a family of four or five. There is a private terrace with barbecue, swimming pool shared with the owners, rowing boats on the river, and five acres of grounds to enjoy, including a young arboretum with over 250 species of trees. The property is rural but not remote, being only 2 miles from the small town of Mareuil sur Lay and 8 from Lucon which has a good range of shops and restaurants, as well as a very impressive Cathedral. Both La Rochelle and the Puy du Fou are within an hour’s drive, and the beautiful, sandy Atlantic beaches are just half an hour away.

The Vendee is a very popular holiday and second home destination for French and English alike. It has a lovely climate, with the 2nd highest average sunshine hours in France, beaten only by the Cote d'Azur. At the coast (a 30 minute drive away), there are beautiful long sandy beaches as well as the famous sailing port of Les Sables d'Olonne, and inland there are miles of unspoilt farming land among gently rolling hills. Mareuil-sur-Lay (2 miles) has a supermarket, a good selection of small shops and several restaurants and bars. Lucon, 8 miles south, has a wider range of shops, hypermarkets and restaurants, and La Roche sur Yon, 15 miles north, is the departmental capital. The beautiful old port of La Rochelle, 50 minutes south, is always worth a visit, whether it be for a stroll down the stone collonnaded shopping streets, a leisurely lunch overlooking the port, or a visit to the aquarium.
