Molyneux family review of La Grange du Moulin, August 2019, Ruche holiday cottage, children aged 7 and 5 yrs
Wendy and Chris have created a special place here. They have thought of everything that a family might need. If you have forgotten it they will have it! The whole set up has been created with families in mind. Wendy is fabulous with the children and provides activities that entertain the children so the adults can relax with a glass of wine. The garden is safe and and enclosed so you don't need to worry about your children escaping!!! The area is rural but there is plenty to do, if you are stuck Wendy and Chris have plenty of ideas to help! As you are here with lots of other like-minded families you don't need to worry about your children making too much noise and it's very sociable for the adults too! We couldn't recommend it highly enough

Everything was great. From the child facilities to the pools for both children and adults. Loads to do from within an hours drive which is great with small children. Nice relaxed atmosphere. We will be back.
