We had a wonderful time. The children bounced for hours on the trampoline so that the grown ups could sit back and chat. River paddling for 6 year olds was great. The Boulangerie opened at 7 even on Sunday. There was a well kitted out gym at the top of the hill for my athletic daughter to train in. She runs for team GB! The number of coffee machines exceeded my coffee loving son’s expectations. There were loads of games and jigsaws that were age appropriate. The setting in the valley with the tall trees all around was simply beautiful. It was absolutely lovely!

Wonderful Family Time

We are a 4 generation family that stayed 5 days and had the most wonderful time. The house comfortably accommodated 14 of us ranging in age from 2 - 79 years. The views are amazing and there is a large yard with a trampoline and swing set that entertained our younger ones for many hours. The 2 kitchens are well equipped and it is a nice walk to the lovely village. I highly recommend this rental.

Perfect place

We were a group of 13 friends enjoying a one-week get together with lots of activities in and around the house and splendid weather. La Minoterie was the perfect place for us, offering a long list of amenities and, above all, plenty of kitchen space for the wonderful chef-à-domicile Sébastien Godefroy and his wife Holly. They provided us with three lavish dinners and an in-depth introduction into Normandy specialites with detailed comments in French and English. He had been recommended by the tourist office, but he is also on Facebook or Linkedin.

70th Birthday celebrations

We are a large family with 4 Children and 9 Grandchildren and wanted to celebrate my 70th and my Husbands 70th, which was in lockdown. The house was perfect for the 3 generations and the garden was safe for even the youngest 5 year olds to play so that the adults could relax. The facilities for the children and adults was fantastic, with a trampoline, football goals, volleyball net and the boule court and a games room. The weather was amazing and we eat outside every day, there was plenty of everything we needed. We were able to get fresh bread and croissants at the local boulangerie. The beds were super comfortable and it was so peaceful that we slept really well. Altogether an amazing holiday in a wonderful house.

Great family holiday in Normandy

Our family of 17 people across three generations descended on the property for the first week of July 2025. The space suited us perfectly. There are enough washrooms to keep everybody happy. All in beautiful shape and clean. Comfortable beds. Lots of play space for the kids - inside and out. We had the use of two kitchens and dining areas. Very handy for our dinners.Great location for access to St-Malo, Cancale, Fougeres, Mont-St-Michel. Bayeux and the Normandy beaches are about an hour away. And the property location provides privacy. But note, the property is in a valley which means you can’t easily walk or bike into St James for your morning pastries. Less than a 5-minute drive though.

A fantastic holiday home for a large group

We spent 7 nights at the moulin as a group of 5 families. The beds were super comfortable. The property is well equipped and had everything we needed. Lots of chairs for inside and outside. A fantastic games room. WiFi worked really well too. Lots of bathrooms and toilets. All the required kitchen equipment and lots of it. It was nice to be within walking distance of St James. The little town has a carrefour express, cheese and wine shop, butchers, restaurants, little bars, vets and a hospital. The large garden with a trampoline was well used by the kids, as we're the goal posts. There is even a little stream at the bottom where we bathed on a hot day. All in all, a wonderful holiday home. Thank you for having us.

Thank you for coming to La Minoterie! Very nice that you enjoyed the beautiful place and the comfortable house. The game room is indeed a fantastic space with air hockey, table tennis, darts and table football. We also recently have a large jeu-des-boules court outside! Kind regards, Anouk Ammerlaan

Week-end copains

Nous avons passé un super week-end entre amis. La maison est très bien équipée et décorée avec goût. Tout était parfait. Nous gardons l’adresse et la recommanderons à nos proches. Il faut juste savoir que la maison comporte beaucoup d’escaliers donc n’est pas adaptée aux personnes à mobilité réduite.

Maison parfaite pour des vacances en famille

La maison est belle, vaste, et décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Elle est parfaitement adaptée à une grande famille ou un groupe d'amis avec des espaces où chacun peut s'isoler s'il le désire. La maison est confortable: bonne literie, belles salles de bains, poêles à bois, cuisines bien équipées et la salle de jeux est un plus appréciable. Le fait d'avoir 2 salles de séjour/cuisines permettent aux plus matinaux de prendre le petit déjeuner tout en laissant les autres faire la grasse matinée ou de créer un espace plus calme pour ceux qui le désirent. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Mauvaise surprise

Un gite magnifique, parfait entre amis ou en famille mais ne soyez ni en avance à l’arrivée ni en retard pour le départ. 50€ de facturé pour arriver en début d’après-midi plutôt qu’à 16h. Par ailleurs 200€ de frais de nettoyage ne suffisent pas, parce que le lave vaisselle était propre mais non vidé, 3 mégot de cigarettes posés à côté du barbecue, 3 lits non défaits … = 75€ de frais de nettoyage supplémentaire (275€ en tout) malgré avoir essayé de communiquer avec les femmes de ménages, aucun commentaire et la facture arrive quelques jours après. Profitez bien du séjour mais prévoyez un peu plus de budget que prévu.

Merci pour votre réponse. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour à La Minoterie. Et c'est vrai, nous souhaitons que les invités quittent la maison comme ils le feraient chez eux. Nos agents de nettoyage nettoient, mais ils ne peuvent pas non plus être obligés de tout nettoyer. La maison est tout simplement trop grande pour ça. C'est pourquoi nous communiquons le règlement intérieur. Cordialement, Anouk Ammerlaan

Un emplacement idéal et un logement super confortable

Bien placée, la maison d'Arnold et Anouk est également un nid douillet ! L'intérieur est chaleureux, super convivial. Les lits sont très confortables. La salle de jeux au rez-de-chaussée est un vrai plus. Il y'a beaucoup d'escaliers, mais ce n'est pas très gênant. Ils sont dotés de portes, pas de soucis pour les enfants.

La Minoterie

La Minoterie is situated in a lovely location, minutes walk from the quiet village of St James. The house is very well equipped from the kitchen area to the games room in the basement. The property is ideal for a family reunion or a get together for a group of friends.
