We stayed here as a stop off point on our way down to southern spain .its a good place to discover all the wonderfull towns and villages of the dordogne however my kids and grandchildren loved it so much that i couldn't get them to leave the property. The house itself is little old and quirky but we found that added to its charm,it has all the things you need for a comfortable stay inc good wi fi and the owner was a great host ,an highly educated chap with a lifetime of fascinating stories to tell,the kids were mesmerised by him too .we look forward to staying here again next time we're in France

Perfect guests, I couldn't have wished for more. Had great long chats with old and young and they helped me set up swings and ziplines that should have been here years ago as the kids absolutely loved it. Plan an art competition with the winner getting free residence in exchange for garden duties. This year's visitors have been inspiring, creative and a joy to engage with.

Nous avons apprécié le charme d'une maison rustique tout en étant bien équipée. Wifi et téléphone fixe ont permis de compenser l'absence de réseau sur place. Nous avons bien profité avec 5 petits-enfants du grand espace intérieur et du vaste jardin qui nécessite cependant de la vigilance vu la proximité de la rivière.Clive est très accueillant et chaleureux. Très souvent à proximité, il était prêt à répondre à nos demandes et à proposer des aménagements pour les enfants.

Chers Paule et Jean-Marc, Merci pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Ce fut un réel plaisir d’accueillir votre famille au Moulin de Madame. Je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié le charme rustique, l’espace intérieur généreux et le jardin, et que le Wi-Fi ainsi que le téléphone fixe aient été utiles. Je suis heureux de savoir que les enfants se sont amusés, et je vous remercie pour votre vigilance près de la rivière et de la nouvelle tyrolienne.Je suis désolé d’apprendre l’incident du bras cassé lors de votre sortie, mais soulagé que cela ait été pris en charge localement et n’ait pas gâché votre séjour. Votre famille a été exemplaire, laissant la maison en parfait état et embellissant même les chambres du grenier avec les œuvres d’art des enfants ! Vous êtes les bienvenus à tout moment, et je vous enverrai des photos des canetons dès leur éclosion.Cordialement, Clive STEWART
