La Grange du Moulin family friendly holiday gites in the Charente Maritime region of Sw France are very centrally located for all the main towns, places of interest and of course the beaches. La Rochelle, Royan and Rochefort on the coast and Poitiers, Angouleme and Niort inland are all just an easy one hours drive away at most. Saintes and Cognac are closer still and have plenty to keep both adults, children and toddlers occupied and entertained. Even Bordeaux with its world famous vineyards and wineries are just a 1hr30 drive away. The Coast with hundreds of miles of coastline is just an easy 1hrs drive but we also have a fabulous inland beach and swimming lake just 30 mins away.
Our family holiday cottages or gites as they are known in France, welcome families with babies, toddlers and young children . We offer a peaceful and safe environment in which to enjoy your self catering family holiday with toddlers and young kids near the historic town of St Jean d'Angely in France. With other toddlers and young children for yours to play with in the enclosed garden filled with toys you'll actually have time to relax and even read a book ! Relax in the shade of the apple tree with a chilled glass of wine chatting to other like minded parents whilst your children make new friends. Read over 20 years worth of reviews from families, many of whom return year after year. An easy drive from the ports or fly to one of the many airports in the region such as La Rochelle.
At La Grange du Moulin we have six family gites. Four sleep 6 people in three bedrooms each, one gite sleeps 4 in two bedrooms and one cottage (Peche) sleeps 8 in four bedrooms; so we have something for everyone. This small cluster of holiday cottages creates a lovely friendly environment in which to enjoy your self catering family holiday with toddlers and kids 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. We welcome families with young children, generally under 8 yrs in peak season and babies & toddlers 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 a baby cries. If your children and toddlers 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.
At La Grange du Moulin child friendly gites we have two pools and a hot tub. Both the pool and hot tub areas are enclosed and secured by child safety latches. The main pool is also alarmed. The swimming pool is heated and surrounded by a sunbathing terrace. Also located in the pool area is the heated toddler pool surrounded by a wooden sunbathing deck. The toddler pool is shaded at all times by a 'sail'. The hot tub is located in a separate secure area adjacent to the pool area. Lit at night so parents can enjoy a relaxing soak when the children are asleep !

Reviews

La Grange du Moulin - Peche has not received any reviews over the last 4 years.

  • Cox family from UK,

    10 stars

    We returned for the third time this year with our 5 rather rambunctious children in tow. We had a wonderful two weeks and enjoyed all the facilities especially the pool. The kids were happy to stay here, giving us the chance to read and relax and we got in a few trips out. The communal barbecue and the grounds mean it is easy to socialise with others and for the kids to play. A particularly lovely touch was that Wendy and Chris gave all the children special t-shirts as it was our third visit. They were delighted !

    Wendy and Chris have created a real paradise for children and parents - like a glorious ship on a great sea of farmland, La Grange du Moulin is beautiful, brilliantly thought out and above all great fun. The only thing that was difficult was leaving ! Thank you Wendy and Chris for a wonderful holiday.

    Everything about La Grange du Moulin works for us and even after 4 years the magic formula still hasn't worn off. Chris and Wendy have thought of everything and their friendly, personal touch makes it a friendly and relaxed place to be. Some of the reasons we love it are:
    - There are so many lovely places to visit within an easy drive - towns, parks, beaches, lakes, markets, vineyards. Every year we find something new.
    - The gite complex is pretty, has great facilities and even if you can't see your children you know they are safe (and if they're like our kids they're probably gatecrashing tea in someone else's cottage)
    - Everyone else we've met here is like minded. Nice people who like to socialise are happy to look out for each others kids but respect your space and privacy when you want it.
    - Wendy and Chris organise regular events which are always fun, but it's not 'organised' fun and it is pitched at just the right level. The adults always enjoy the weekly bbq, moules night and taste du terroir and the kids love the Teddy bear picnic, pottery painting and generally hanging out with all their new friends.
    - The local food and drink is just delicious and this part of France is a foodies delight. Chris and Wendy are very knowledgable in this regard and always happy to point you in the right direction of the best place to buy things or restaurants to visit.
    - The pool area is fab and the small toddler pool perfect for babies or the children who arn't confdent enough yet for the big pool.
    Ultimately we love this place and so do the kids. We can relax and feel safe in the knowledge we will have a wonderful time and as every parent knows, happy occupied children = happy relaxed parents and that's what good holidays are about. See you again next year !!
