Le Vieux Moulin is a spacious gite for 4 people, offering stunning panoramic views over the River Thouet and the surrounding countryside. It is situated in a beautiful and mostly tranquil area at the side of the River Thouet and sits on a small island between the mill stream and the river. There are no other properties nearby.
The accommodation is on the first floor of a modern extension (1950) to the old mill house which was built in 1846, and offers very spacious and comfortable living, with stunning views from the lounge and balcony over the River Thouet and surrounding areas. A haven for wildlife with many regular sightings of kingfishers, woodpeckers, hoopoe, herons, golden oriole, red squirrel and deer and other wildlife, perfect for a very relaxing holiday.
The gite comprises of over 140sq metres of living space containing:
- A fully fitted kitchen which is well equipped for all your holiday needs, along with oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, automatic washing machine, microwave, etc.
- The lounge/diner has extremely comfortable Stressless leather sofas and reclining chairs, large dining table and chairs and television with free view, Netflix Also for the colder months the gite is double glazed and has central heating
- Accessed from multiple french doors is the private balcony which is equipped with gas barbeque and tables and chairs for ‘al fresco’ dining along with sun loungers.
- Leading off the lounge area is a sun lounge with rattan furniture.
- Accommodation further comprises of two double bedrooms, one overlooking the river and the other overlooking the back of the house and the orchard,
- A large recently modernised bathroom with bath, large walk in shower, hand basin and storage,
- A separate toilet and hand basin and large entrance hall with wine fridge and storage space.
- Quality bed linen and towels are included in the price along with a starter and welcome pack. Central heating is available for the colder months at cost.
There is ample parking in the grounds, as well as more sun loungers in the garden/riverside area. Bicycles are available if you feel in need of some exercise! Fishing is available in close proximity to the house, and there is also a purpose built riverside deck for relaxing!
The owners live on site and are happy to help or advise if needed. Sorry but we cannot take pets as Le Vieux Moulin has cats, chickens and ducks (fresh eggs to start the day) We also have a ‘no smoking policy’ within the house.
Unfortunately due to the proximity of the river the gite is not suitable for toddlers and children under 11, unless surpervised at all times. The gite is on the first floor and is accessed by stairs.
The mill house is situated down a quiet country lane leading to the river yet is only 3km south of Montreuil-Bellay with its beautiful chateau and good restaurants and shops. 15kms south is the picturesque town of Saumur and the Gite is well located for visiting the many chateaux of the Loire, the Cadre Noir, troglodyte dwellings, and all the interesting attractions in the towns and villages in the area. The area offers a wealth of opportunities for wine tasting, walking, cycling, canoeing, fishing, golf and much more.
