'Ruche' La Grange du Moulin -Just families - Fun for kids - Heated pool - wifi
With other toddlers and young children for yours to play with and an enclosed garden and safely enclosed heated swimming pool and toddler pool too you will be able to relax with a chilled glass of wine chatting to like minded parents whilst your children make new friends.
Allen family review of La Grange du Moulin, Papillon holiday cottage, children aged 6 and 4 years
''We have loved our second stay at La Grange du Moulin. The children say its been the ''best holiday ever'' ! They have loved making new friends, pottery and fabric painting and the pool, giving Mum and Dad the chance to relax. We've enjoyed a happy balance of socialising and quiet time. This is a great place to stay
with young children, especially with all the extra activities offered. Thank you Wendy and Chris !''
At La Grange du Moulin we have six cottages. Four sleep 6 people in three bedrooms each, one sleeps 4 in two bedrooms and one sleeps 8 in four bedrooms; so we have something for everyone. Prices quoted here are for the 3 bedroomed cottages.
This small cluster of cottages creates a lovely friendly environment in which to enjoy your self catering family holiday in France. You will quickly get to know your neighbours and your children will instantly make new friends whilst exploring the safely enclosed play garden. After a barbecue or al fresco dinner and the children tucked up in bed you can share a glass or three of wine with like minded parents sitting in the warm summer evenings just outside your cottage.
Chris and Wendy Blakeman welcome families with young children. (generally under 8 yrs in peak season and pre schoolers at other times) That means that there will be other like minded families with children, toddlers and babies
all wanting an enjoyable relaxing stay where there are other children for theirs to play with and they are not frowned upon when baby cries or their toddler throws a tantrum.
If your children are entertained then it usually means you'll be able to relax that bit more, so we offer lots of activities and the garden and cottages are filled with toys. Safety is of utmost importance too so the garden is fully enclosed and the pool area is enclosed with a child safety latch on the gate and alarmed for extra security too. We can also provide pretty much all the baby and toddler equipment free of charge , saving you room in the car or saving money on excess baggage !
All the cottages are fully equipped with everything required for a comfortable family self catering holiday including the all important dishwasher and washing machines. All bedding is provided in the price. We offer towel packs for hire
Please note, only families with children will be accepted. We do not allow pets onsite.
Please note the following
There is NO SMOKING or Vaping on site at all - you must leave the property to smoke, you cannot smoke on your rear or front terraces, by the pool or anywhere in the enclosed garden. We ask that you walk to the refuse and parking area if you wish to smoke, this is a child friendly property and for the comfort of all our guests smoking is strictly forbidden.
There is no television
There is NO MUSIC or radio allowed to be heard outside your gite. You should use headphones
NO PETS allowed

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Wendy Blakeman

Chris and Wendy have been hosting since 1996 when they moved to France. We developed the 'child friendly gite' theme offering far more than other owners from wine tastings (Chris has worked all his life in the wine trade) to vineyard walks, visits to local honey and wine producers, childrens activities such as pottery and fabric painting and in spring , teddy bear picnics too and not to forget our very popular discovery events.
Why they chose this property
After many years of holidaying in this area, staying in my parents holiday home, we finally moved here in 1996. We havn't looked back since. After a number of years renovating stone barns into family gites, learning how to look after our guests and drinking many glasses of wine with them, we now feel very confident in our ability to offer just what young families like our own really need from
a holiday here in France. We have not, however, become complacent. We are constantly thinking of new ideas to add to the enjoyment, every year we update, replace, renew and re- paint as well as add. Our cottages today are very different from what they were when we first started out. In 1996, the most common question was 'is there an iron and a tea pot'. Times are different and
expectations are higher. We don't profess to be luxurious but we do have heated pools and a hot tub (and the champagne flutes to go with it !)

What makes this property unique
Our property is for families with young children. This means you will be holidaying with like minded parents who are understanding and owners who are helpful and can provide everything you need for your baby and toddler. If you are bothered by a toddler having a tantrum - don't come !
We offer lots of activities and the play garden will provide endless fun - when your children are entertained you can relax that much more. It's not a big site though - so you will quickly meet all the other families and you may well make as many new friends as your children do.
Even in peak season you may often have the place to yourselves and because the children are young they are tucked up in bed nice and early so you can enjoy a peaceful evening chatting with other parents, watching the stars and enjoying a glass or three of wine !
Over the years we have developed the wine theme to our guests stay. This sets us apart from everyone else. Chris worked all his adult life in the wine industry, selling, buying and teaching wine, its also a passionate hobby. We offer several wine related activities.
Wendy has become a registered child minder here in France, so You can rest assured in the knowledge that you also have a capable babysitter on hand so you can enjoy a night out too.
