Visitors Compliments:
We were in need of rest, relaxation, peace, good food and drink and beautiful surroundings, and that is certainly what we found in the delightful Moulin
We thoroughly enjoyed the charm and character of the Moulin. We thought the pool was fantastic and we found lots of lovely places to explore. Lovely to meet the owners who could not have been more helpful. Many thanks for an excellent holiday
Very impressed with such outstanding attention to detail in the windmill?
The windmill is very well equipped with quality items.
Please Note:
The windmill has lots of character but the interior is compact and open-plan. Parents and others should note that the stairs have a rope hand-rail along the wall side and are open to the other side.
After carefully considering the nature of the windmill, we don't think this is a suitable holiday home for the under 5s or for anyone who finds stairs difficult.
Please also note that this is a no smoking property and that we cannot accept pets.
The Village and Local Amenities:
The windmill is situated on a rural cul-de-sac at the edge of Loubes-Bernac village which has its own Post Office, Village Shop selling groceries and essentials (open daily, hours vary), and the locally well-renowned Chez Nelly Bar/Restaurant/Pizzeria all within 5 minutes walk. There is a public phone box in the village and mobile signals can be received at the Windmill. Within a half hour drive there are several large supermarkets (conveniently located on the outskirts of nearby towns), the nearest petrol stations and banks with cashpoints.
Travel Options:
By air: Fly into Bergerac with Ryan Air or Flybe from various airports.
Bergerac Airport is only 30 mins drive away. Alternatively Bordeaux Airport is 90 mins drive away. We have found that the earlier you book with the cheap airlines the lower the price - but its always worth comparing prices with British Airways. There is car hire available from most of the usual providers at Bergerac and Bordeaux and we suggest you pre-book this.
By car: The journey is about 560 miles from Calais. It is approximately 8-9 hours driving time if you travel via Paris. There is an alternative route to the west avoiding Paris adding c.40 miles. For those living in the North the overnight ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge is a convenient way to get to France. It is about 8 hours driving time from Zeebrugge via Paris. Additionally, there is the Brittany Ferries overnight service with a driving time of about 7 hours from ports.
By train: You can take the Eurostar from London Waterloo (or Ashford in Kent) to Lille changing there onto the TGV to Libourne, which is about one hours drive away. Cars can be hired at Libourne Station, again it is best to pre-book this.
