| Our 'pool man' is Chris and he takes great pride in its daily maintenance. The main heated swimming pool is 50 m2, and very child friendly being 1m deep at the shallow end and gently dropping to 2m at the deep end. It is floodlit and may be used at any time. It is surrounded by a terrace with sunbeds and is completely enclosed and alarmed for safety. It is heated to 28c. The Heated toddler pool is also within this area. It is heated to 30 c by a reliable electrical heat pump (extremely energy effecient and maintains a constant temp unlike solar heating) and maintained daily too so is always crystal clear. |
...the large garden is ideal for the children and toddlers to play in and make new
friends whilst you watch from your terrace sipping a glass of chilled Pineau and soak
up the hot summer sunshine. Lie under the shade of the apple tree and read or slip into
the clear water of the pool to cool down ........

We have been living in France offering self catering family friendly gites for rental for 16 years. We have therefore gained a wealth of experience in what
makes the perfect self catering, child friendly and family friendly gite holiday. We also have two children of our own so fully understand the needs of the
family when booking a rental property in france. We fell in love with this region of SW France not only for its superb beaches, historic towns and beautiful
rural countryside but for the relaxed way of life, fantastic food and of course, the wine. We share all our knowledge with our guests over a glass of the local
tipple and many return again and again and become friends. For a bit about us, click here .

McCormick family review of La Grange du Moulin, Fleurie gite, September 2011
''This place is heaven for young children and therefore for us too ! With a 2.5 yr and 1 yr
old, going on holiday is (though wonderful) a bit fraught and approached with some
trepidation. Wendy and Chris however, enabled us to have the most fun, relaxed and
carefree holiday we have ever had with the children. Everything has been thought of, is
provided and is made easy. And at the same time we got to enjoy the picturesque and
beautiful, rustic French countryside, wine and food and unique ambience of La Grange
du Moulin. Several people we met here were repeat visitors which shows how much
people rate it and I will definitely be recommending this place to all my friends with pre
schoolers (though on second thoughts, maybe I shouldn't or we'll never manage to book
in again !) The trampoline, sand pit, pirate ship, swimming pool (heated) and heated
toddler pool made La Grange du Moulin perfect for our toddlers (our 2 yr old - ''I love
our holiday place'') and best of all it's all safely enclosed so we can relax. It's not luxury
but we didn't expect or want that and again makes the cottages much more suitable for
little ones. Loved all the info on activities and the area, which was all useful and also the
vine walk, wine tasting, teddy bears picnic and bbq all of which was sociable without
being obtrusive. Loved it 10/10, 5*, thank you so much, see you next year !''
