    Fairbank family review of La Grange du Moulin, August 2019, Papillon holiday cottage, children aged 8 and 5 years

    A very nice week in a lovely part of France. The facilities here are great and the activities are very enjoyable. Chris and Wendy are excellent hosts, generous with their time and full of information. The honey visit was a particular highlight, especially the friendly dogs !

    Fraser-Andrews family review of La Grange du Moulin, June 2019, Papillon holiday cottage,
    children aged 4 and 1 yr

    We have had a wonderful stay - relaxing and convivial, with the children enjoying endless amusement and opportunities to explore and burn off energy !The gite and its environment has been most comfortable and convenient for interesting trips to the coast and elsewhere, when we could drag ourselves away ! Chris and Wendy have been superbly accommodating and helpful hosts - thank you from all of us.
